Dang, this is a magic morning. The president of our college got let go at a closed session board meeting last night and the director of our building was named interim president so my boss moved up to director and I moved into my bosses position. Hello 6 months of 50% pay raise!

bolind posted:I just got word that my boss quit today. He represents 70% of all core knowledge about our rather narrow niche. This leads me to believe that my company is not very smart, as the smart thing to do would have been to keep him happy as a pig in poo poo. My wife describes my boss as Milton from Office Space. Needless to say in a state ran environment, people tend to fail upwards. I already have 1/2 a foot out the door of this place anyway, so I suspect this is their way of trying to keep me? I don't really know their end game since inmates run the asylum. I'm expecting an offer in the next week or two for another job, so I'll have to play this one by ear since the job I'm waiting on the offer from initially pays more, but after 5 years doesn't and my work history thus far is staying at an organization for at least 6 years.

Somewhat Heroic posted:People hate on the wealthy, I don't mind if others have more than me. I plan on being wealthy and self sufficient in life. I don't want to rely on the government to take care of me. There's nothing wrong with that at all, even though that thought process has somehow been demonized in the past 10-15 years. I'd rather be a have than a have not. If someone says they'd rather be a have not, I'd say you're looking at a lying sack of poo poo. Money is a gateway to security and Independence.

If you are in the central valley, bat poo poo right wing. If you're in the bay area/socal you run into batshit left wing. There are certain pockets of batshit right wing in bay/socal but you encounter it in more affluent areas.

iwentdoodie posted:Oh, very much agreed. I just happen to live in an enclave of the batshit not rich but act like they are right wing. I work in the a bastion of left wing politics, a California community college, and even we have a weird political divide. Full time classified/faculty/management have health/dental/vision benefits, adjunct faculty/part time classified do not. Ever since the ACA kicked in and increasingly so with higher fines per year, the part timers are increasingly more right wing because health care is no longer a choice and many make over what would be taken care of by covered CA. It's a serious mind gently caress to watch in action as they come to terms with their new found thinking that maybe there is a middle ground to be struck. Unfortunately, most other people in both directions still have their heads up their asses and believe in the too big to fail philosophy and hemorrhage cash. Fun fact, at 1 time we had a 12 million dollar surplus then economy went south and places with surplus funds were forced to distribute their surplus funds to other places that didn't know how to handle money.. Ours went to UC Berkeley. Congrats Berkeley, you were the largest poo poo lords with the worst money handling abilities, maaaaaaan!

I dropped my note 3 in water and started having water fuckery issues that escalated for 4 months.. I was looking at new phones, but opted to just replace the motherboard in mine for $80. Long story short, you can get note 3's unlocked for about $180 and I honestly haven't ran into any performance issues, water droppage withstanding. The stylus comes in handy with paperless billing as well which I didn't think about before I bought it, but worked out anyway. Also it's nice to be able to mute tv's in restaurants.

A person I work with has a "feel the Bern" sticker on her honda. It's been stolen 2 times in the last 3 months. Everybody gives her poo poo for getting pissed off on grounds that she needs to check her white privilege since her wealth is simply being redistributed to the less fortunate.

Finally caved and saw The Revenant last night. I've never been so bored in my life. Somehow a 2.5 hour was magically stretched in one that felt like 5 hours, definite Oscar fodder. I get the thing people are going crazy over is the way it was filmed, etc.. But at some point people have to realize the point of going to see a movie is to be entertained and this just didn't do that. The scenery was beautiful, but the story was generic.

I took the new star wars at face value and it was a fun movie but its not anything I'd call amazing. Certainly not Oscar worthy. If it wasn't attached to the name, nobody would think twice about it.

Darchangel posted:"Why are my kids so violent and using bad words? I don't understand where they could have learned that stuff. Must be TV." I fully expect them to make it to TV within the decade in the capacity of "OUR BOY WAS REALLY GOOD, HE WENT TO CHURCH AND I CAN'T BELIEVE HE GOT SHOT! WE HAVE TO STAND UP AGAINST VIOLENCE!" demographic. Sadly, the media never interviews the extended family to get the real story on what a poo poo heel the parents were and the trickle down thinking they had on their kids. edit: BloodBag posted:Welp, FUCK2016 is official for me. My Wife got a call from her Aunt on her birthday. The police entered my FIL's house and found him deceased. He lived alone in CA. We are both in shock, he was so fit and really quirky. What do I do now? I've never had to deal with losing a parent. Will we have to go out there I guess? Any help figuring out what to do would be appreciated. I'm sorry for your loss.  What you do really depends on how close/distant your family was to him and what sort of cool people/assholes you have in your family that are either looking out for everyone's possible interest or their own. In any case, it's difficult losing someone who you were close with. keykey fucked around with this message at 18:46 on Feb 16, 2016 |

meatpimp posted:Agreed. My wife's grandpa took it for pain management when the VA kept cutting his morphine prescription further. He didn't exhibit any of those symptoms, though he talked with his Dr first about it as an alternative and his Dr essentially said,"I can't tell you that I'd suggest it, but you really have nothing to lose if it doesn't work." It turned out that it worked quite well for his particular needs, mostly not being in pain. The dude you had in class was probably just on something and was looking to score whatever he could get his hands on.
