SuitedAces21 2,723 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 all i know, napa don, is that when the USA chant broke out on the house floor, if you didn't fist pump and yell FREEDOM then you're not a true patriot. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa_Don 688 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Well,I guess i'm a fake patriot because I didn't even watch it. Link to post Share on other sites
Theraflu 1,035 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Don't give in, Napa. The clapping really makes all of them unwatchable. I do recommend watching the Nixon clip where he says, "yeah, enough of this Watergate business, its been a year for God's sake!" Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Thy should have just chanted USA in the faces of Democrats for five minutes and called it a night. Same basic outcome I think. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Napa_Don 688 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 That really would have been a great way to start and end it. Well, and also that everything about that fat tub of chewed up shit gum repulses me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Theraflu 1,035 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Please try to accurately quote me in the future. I'm still on the fence about Lorde/RTJ. I'll probably end up going, but I don't like arena concerts very much, especially for something like RTJ. But, floor is going to be over $100, and I have no idea if it'll be seats, or open area. Arenas stink. When I got my job, I got a 10 month "trial" contract, with the promise of a 5k raise and a 3-year contract if things didn't go pear-shaped. So, I just got the new contract in email, with the raise, and its the pretty standard town job, so I'm not fighting for anything. It's a 3-year process to get certified as both a treasurer and tax collector, but I'll have a lot more leverage on the next go-round once I'm certified and way more comfortable with everything. As it is, I'll have 2.5%-3.5% yearly raises, and start moving up the chain. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

brvheart 1,755 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 You have that type of job security, Napa. I mean, why would they get rid of you in the next 3 years? Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 It was an Office Space joke. But to wit, there’s a lot of things that could happen that result in me getting fired in the next 3 years. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 We haven’t had our year end reviews yet but my boss said in a meeting the other day that we all got pretty good reviews. Now all I can do is wait to find out if there’s any raise associated with a pretty good review for a mid-year hire. Link to post Share on other sites

brvheart 1,755 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 So BTC, huh? Let me know when it's a good time to jump on. I wonder how low it's going to get. Are there any secondary currencies and seem poised to step up and replace BTC? I want to get in on the ground floor. Link to post Share on other sites
Theraflu 1,035 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I got an email from Coinbase saying that most credit card companies are going to start charging these purchases as cash advances. So, that's not great. Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltBlue 662 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 So BTC, huh? Let me know when it's a good time to jump on. I wonder how low it's going to get. Are there any secondary currencies and seem poised to step up and replace BTC? I want to get in on the ground floor. I'm reluctant to use the phrasing "the next Bitcoin", because it's so over-used, but I do think that we've identified one that fills that role. I would not generally advise people to invest heavily directly in BTC anymore. I think you're much better off in ETH if you want a strong base currency. With that said, NANO (formerly RaiBlocks/XRB) really is poised to take over from Bitcoin eventually. After an explosive "start" in December, it has largely moved sideways since due to the overall market and a few exchange hiccups, and it's a long journey ahead, but it should have some legs. Being in the crypto space, it's actually exciting to play with it...and simple. Transactions are fee-less and near-instant (probably 3-5 seconds on average). I've gotten a ton of people on the train...and I keep trying to cram more on when I can. I rarely shill, but if there was a time to do it, this seems like it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 My day was pretty good. Passed the PMP exam, was a complete blowout. I didn’t tell my boss I was doing it, just walked in and put my test results on the desk. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Heard a few panic calls today. Gained 25%+ in the last 12mo? No matter. This thing is DANGEROUS and we must reconsider. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
