It really does come down to this. They would be outright screwed.

While many of my family members have served in the past and do now, the US is not the end all, be all.

As an interview I always ask, “why here? I mean other than to pay your bills, you didn’t apply to a charity.” Always gets a laugh and then they generally give me an honest, decent reason.

We never ask to hear, “because bills.” We aren’t as stupid as you think we are. Some people actually nail this question, others don’t attempt. You can’t try? Why the hell do you think you’d be a good fit? I can hire more motivated people that will do better in the long run.

Interviewing is a skill like any other. Some people are great at it, others suck because they don’t understand what it’s for. Most fall in the later category since they miss the point entirely.

Interviews are for fit a lot of times. I get plenty of candidates. I want someone who will 1) fit the team and 2) jive with me as a manager. Not everyone can fulfill those 2 main requirements. The skills come secondary honestly.

Not exactly what they’re getting at. This misses the point entirely. You applied here. Why?

Desperation is a valid answer.

Valid answer.

Still, more than likely, illegal.

You know a fair way to get employees to buy what you want them to? Sell things to them at cost.

Not seeing the same. I get lots of engagement …

I think you proved that point extremely well.

Depends on your definition. It’s called a play on words.

Trump.

We bought a bunch of card games and some board games recently that are great.

• Tower Stack (like physical Tetris)
• Hues and Cues
• Uno No Mercy
• Farkle
• Five Crowns
• Phase 10
• Harry Potter Hogwarts Battle (Deck Builder)

Nope. But I have my info stripped from the internet weekly and are on the do not call registries. I get spam from time to time of course but haven’t had any lately at all. I get FAR less than my wife. I also don’t sign up for crap to get discounts like she does.

Good list. It also keeps the number of WiFi devices on your network down. Can be an issue with some WiFi routers that have a low cap.

Calm down tiger, who’s judging here? Just stating facts. I drink alcohol from time to time but I also realize I feel better when I don’t regularly.

Ah, I see you have a Samsung refrigerator.

TSA Precheck. Yes, it’s borderline extortion but it really is a LOT faster and more stress free at major hubs.

Just keep in mind that Colorado isn’t a state that voted for him.

For me it was finding joy in work.

I, partly, became a manager to help others develop. I’ve been fortunate and worked for a few companies that believe the company can’t be at its best unless we’re training others to do our roles, train up mentality. I found that it’s a major kick to see someone succeed in something they never thought they could achieve.

I’ve helped a guy making decent money, make a lot more, raise his credit substantially, and fulfill the dream of owning a home. That’s something he never thought he’d be able to do. He was stuck in the mentality of born poor, die poor. He just needed someone to show him how our capitalist systems work and how to take advantage of that. Not only is he making more money but he’s happier and therefore more productive and does better quality work. No other sense of accomplishment has come close for me than directly affecting others lives. It’s really something.

And echoing what others’ have said, you do build endurance to the hours and grind the more you do it. I can basically work all day and not feel tired until I finally relax. I’m fortunate enough to have a job that has shorter days to balance the longer and I’m not stuck in an office all day (which I HATE). Not all jobs are office only / physical labor only. The great thing about COVID is that it forced remote work and a lot more flexibility in a lot of industries. I’m more of a hybrid work is best for me person.

It also helps to build a solid daily, weekly, monthly routine or “battle rhythm” as the military puts it. This helps break up the monotony of the days while keeping you on track to succeed. Consistency is the major thing that separates those that accomplish their goals and those that don’t.

Go on a sugar detox for 30 days just by cutting out sugary drinks like soda or sweet tea. When you go back to drinking it you’ll be chocked at how sweet it tastes now. You’ve just become desensitized to the 38-45g of sugar in a 12oz. The major benefit is you just feel better. Sugar is totally a drug.
