  1. SOAP BOX: People who perpetually speak in buzzwords annoy the hell out of me. It’s like they’re trapped in an eternal cycle of introductory sentences and just forgot how to say anything of substance.
     
    ”We’re going to realign to deliver more impactful results. Through hard work and dedication we can really launch ourselves up to that next level.”
     
    If you can't give me any supporting statements explaining how you plan to do either of these things, all you're really saying is that you think you know best but aren't actually sure what you're going to do.

      It's like writing a 4th grade paragraph. Start off with an Introductory statement to summarize your point. Include 2-3 specific points in support of your opening statement. Close it out by re-summarizing your opener using different words. Why is this so hard to do?

      It's the art of saying something without saying anything at all.  What you originally wrote I have literally heard in meetings and read in reviews. I'm that obnoxious person in the room that starts asking open ended questions in response. MUAHAHAHA!

       

      "In what way will you be realigning?" "How are you measuring these results?" "What would you say is the next level in our business?"

    Don't let them take back their place; check out this thread to see how you can help!

  4. Finally bought The Witcher 3 for 50% off on Steam. Time to see what the hype was/is all about!

      That's what everyone keeps telling me! I've downloaded it but haven't had the chance to jump in-game yet but I'm definitely stoked to do it. :D

      Congratulations on buying an RPG who is worth every single penny that you pay and way more. It's no wonder CD Project Red is winning so many prizes, Witcher 3 is a masterpiece and a role model for open world RPGs for the years to come. Best game of 2015 by far.

      Got it taken care of.  Thanks anyway, Saal.

  6. Is it rude to toss a xanax in someone's mouth while they're talking?

  7. Just finished my first playthrough of Bioshock Infinite, and I realize that this is almost 6 years late, but WUTDAFUQ did I just play???

      This is my intro to the franchise, btw.

  8. Just finished Witcher 3... ;ksjdghflkwbnlefiktdaskfljbnlzskd it's AH-mazing!

      Witcher 1 and 2 are pretty damn good too but Ithink Wticher 3 tops them by far.  It's well worth playing both just for the story and lore.  And ViV you absolutely should play Witcher 3 (first 2 I played on computer and last one console btw.)  I think Witcher 3 is best single player RPG made - and this comes from a female who hates being forced into playing a rawr I'm a badass male avatar hitting on all the chicks.  So the fact I enjoyed playing Geralt says something about how amazing the series is, I think.

      Awesome! I'm really really hoping that I can start getting some parts for the new computer soon so I can start checking out more graphics intense games. I actually downloaded The Division and my computer couldn't even handle that at low settings...yikes, but I can run WoW and SWTOR on at least medium.

      I'd say go buy Witcher 2, specialy if you're a fan of Game of Thrones. The GoT is strong on that storyline, haha. I'm glad you liked the Witcher 3, it's an amazing game.

  9. Listening to Adele's new song "Hello" ...Lawd, gurl. I'm not sure who I'm missing but she sure is making me miss them! lol

  10. Ranting here b/c I can't post this on facebook due to being friends with work people there.

    There are seriously few things that will make me lose respect for a leader or manager faster than watching them use their position as a platform to push their personal pet peeves on the people they lead just because "that's how they like it".

    Now, I'm not talking about pushing a personal opinion that happens to be based on facts, logic & reasoning, or experience. I'm talking about purely emotional driven decision making - it makes them feel better to have things a certain way and to hell with any dissenting opinions, data, or facts to the contrary. Outside of an urgent life-threatening or time-sensitive situation, the moment you have to fall back on "because I'm the boss" is the moment you're no longer worthy of the title.

    Ok, end rant.

  11. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the Breast Cancer Fundraiser so far! Your donations are helping Stephanie to keep the rest of her life together while she focuses on recovery.

     

    If you haven't donated yet and would like to help, please donate here:  https://www.gofundme.com/roh-breast-cancer-fundraiserIf everyone in Remnants could even donate just $10 or $20 to helping Stephanie pay her water bill and help keep her lights on so she can focus her energy on recovery.

  12. The Last Kingdom is sooooooooooo good!!!

  13. w00t! I just learned that I'll be switching off of weekend shifts at the start of February. Maybe I'll finally be able to actually play with everyone! lol

      Yay!!! Side note: I just saw that you are living in Raleigh NC, that's one of the places the wife and I are considering to move!

      I love the area! The weather can act a little drunk at times, and it's grown a lot over the past 10-15 years so we have a unique blend of your traditional city peoples and good ol' country folk, but I really like it. :)

      I've heard people say that the Raleigh, NC area has a similar feel to Austin, TX if you've ever been around that area.

      You'll have to let me know if y'alls ever come out to visit or look at houses!

      Not unless you're spazzing out about how attractive freddie mercury is.

      If he looked as pretty as he sang, maybe. But with those buck-teeth of his... lol nah

      I may have also forgotten to mention that me "spazzing out" does involve lots of squeeling and hand flapping. :catchu:

  23. Gawd Time Warner Cable support sucks. It takes them 10 minutes to tell me to run a speed test. This has now been a 20 minutes chat conversation and I've conducted 1 speed test.

      I would have promptly insulted his intelligence, called his father a hamster and that his mother smelt of elder berries and hung up.

      I wouldn't go so far as to insult his intelligence. These poor schmucks read off a script. Before I got my job I was contacted by someone for a job at a call center (I believe for student loans) and that I was there "leading" candidate (Ya think? I have a degree). And that's what they would've had me doing, despite my level of intelligence. The ones who need insulting are the people that hire them and forbid them from actually doing a good job. But even then, Time-Wa...
