I loved the story involving him and the Sanders' campaign from a few weeks ago. He gave Sanders a large contribution because he hoped Bernie would agree to have a private meeting with him and Bernie said he wasn't going to accept the money and gave it to an aids organization. What's his name was ****** and being a whiny *****.

Also, what the rule on apostrophes and possessive nouns? I also thought the rule was if it ends in an s or s sound you don't add an s, but everything in law school is showing that you still add an s. So you'll get weird stuff where it's ss's

that donation thing was hilarious. Dude was so ****** that it didn't get him a meeting with Sanders.
 
I saw a Taco Bell big box in the trash in the restroom today, it bothers me that someone would eat while on the toilet but at the same times the they were just cutting out the middle man and directly flushing it.

And then he was arguing that if Bernie didn't want the money he should have given it back to him. And I was like "*****, that's not a binding contract, that's a gift. And you have no legal right to tell someone what they can and can't do with your gift"

The sad thing is, that's pretty much what I said to myself when I read the story

And that's why it doesn't make any sense. If you would just look at the bigger picture then you could find it and be whole.

hmm, so that has no impact. I think you can say your situation has changed from when you first interviewed and you appreciate their time and offer but you have an opportunity in your hometown/closer to family that you wish to pursue. Something like that. It's understandable and is nice to them.

We had someone turn us down to take an international opportunity - though that person will likely want something in the US at some point. They were honest about the fact that those were the two things they were deciding between (helped that it was academia vs industry - not a direct competitor) and we'd likely hire them in the future should the timing work out.
 
watching PBS and learning about this Spotlight movie, holy full of talent movie. They showed the trailer and I'm like hey, that's this person, and this person, and this person........lots of well-known actors. Interesting interview, too. Never realized a newspaper investigative team broke that story.
 
I was a maintenance supervisor for an organization in Omaha. Love that job but got burnt out. Left that in February, and didn't like my next job, so I gave my notice and quit after 3 months. Spent the summer hanging with wife and son, went on vacations to Colorado and Canada. It was awesome. I'm CPR/first aid/med aide certified and all that jazz, so I worked at my leisure with people who have disabilities for straight cash. Rocked plumbing projects, house repairs, etc for housewife friends of my wife for more non-taxable green. It was all gravy. Best summer I've had in like 20 years.

So that organization I worked for called a few weeks back. They fired the director(my old boss) and a few days later got another prominent employee's 2 week notice. They were in "oh **** mode". At this point I'm starting to get some apps filled out looking for a new job, but said hey, I'll come back aboard for a month or so until you get some hires made. This company's head of HR, administrators, etc love me like I'm Jesus, from my previous stint there, so they're all excited to have me back even though its just temporary.

So I started today. They emailed an application that I needed to fill out tonight...just standard protocol despite them not needing it. That was the most fun application I ever filled out. I gave the 100% honest truth to answers like why I left previous jobs, and the duties I performed.

-Why did leave my last job? Supervisor was fat, stupid, and an old pain in the ***. Screwing off all summer on vacation was far more enticing than dealing with that jerk everyday.

-It asked the name of my supervisor when I previously worked for them and what that person's title was....which I listed as "Fired for being a lazy director, and currently screwing up my free time".

-Why did I leave my previous job in Fort Dodge? Moved to Omaha because some woman duped me into getting married and having a kid.

-Duties performed when I worked for them? Prompting lazy assistants to actually do work, when they would rather watch youtube videos while on the clock, or get ******* out on the phone by their girlfriends, because they didn't make enough money to live in a nicer house.....because they were lazy and everyone in the organization knew it, so they weren't getting raises like everyone else.

It was fun to come out with all guns blazing on a job application like that.

/dumb random story.
