If you can find it, Mile High Distillery makes a great bourbon, its called Fireside. Its very good and cheap.
My thoughts exactly. Last night you had to see a person every 10 minutes, including travel time. How is that even possible? Do they all live togther? Or at the very least, next door to eachother? Assuming that you could visit all of them safely, there is no way you are going to truly monitor anyone in the 1.5 minutes you actually speak with them. If nothing else, this sets you up for when one of your "clients" goes off the rails, and inadequate monitoring is blamed.
Ok, yeah, that's a terrible rule and likely to lead to very bad situations. Rules that are made for no other reason than administrative ease are often like this. I'd suggest talking to your boss and explain why you are worried that something bad might happen, as well as outlining your significant experience in doing your job. If no change, then potentially a letter/memo JUST to your boss. If that doesn't get results, do you have a union? If so, this might be something perfect for them to handle. If not, you may have to go over your boss's head. There are dangers to your career (ask me, I've done it) from this course of action, but in my case, no life or limb was risked. Going to see sketchy people late at night (when they may be high or liquored up) after an 11 hour shift, with no radio, no backup and uncertain interactions contemplated? Not good. Good luck whatever you do.
I hear old grandpa taste like Basil Hayden which Ive been wanted to try but not dump 30 bucks on if it isn't good. Is old grandpa get you toe up like cheap whiskey or what?
I feel bad for people with shitty, micromanaging bosses. I haven't seen my boss in person since June. I may not have the freedom of self-employment, but it's the next best thing.
It's Old Grand-Dad, what am I thinking. The last time I had it was a rough experience. The absolute worst whiskey I've had was Old Thompson. That was during freshman year, in a frat house at the University of Wisconsin.
The multi-player one rings true. Fights often broke out over whether people were screen watching or not. Spoiler
Now THAT is coffee. Irish and angry, the way it should be. Edit: could one of our Americab board members please fill a brotha in on what the inside joke is with The University Of Phoenix? What's the punch line there?
Its not a real university. Its a for-profit online school that costs as much as high end private institutions. I mean, I know a lot of people who take their online courses to get degrees later in life. But I also know a bunch of employers who immediately toss aside resumes listing Phoenix and places like it as education. No offense to anyone here who might be enrolled.
So it costs as much as Columbia and has a diploma as useless as Liberty? I'm, like, so totally in. Do they have Creationist Science classes? I want to learn how dinosaur bones were used to pack the earth.
I don't think the education itself is useless. I'm sure the curriculum is similar to that of any other school. Its just that if you are trying to get into a competitive field or industry, having a bachelors or masters from a school with no actual admissions requirements doesn't help the candidate. What a lot of people do is like what my old boss did. He needed a masters to remain competitive in radiology management. So he went to University of Phoenix to get it while he worked full time. Thats who the school is really geared toward. People who can't stop working and maybe have kids but need to advanvce their education at the expense of paying student loans for the next half century. The good thing is that a lot of major universities across the country are now offering reputable online programs for bachelors and masters degrees. But they require you to have things like SAT and GRE/GMAT scores. And some of them are quite reasonably priced.
There was a rash of articles published for a while about the blatant profiteering of the online universities like U of Phoenix, and all of the shit they do to students to give positive reviews, or get students to say they are employed in their field, or whatever. I was trying to convince one of our members here to skip the online university route because these places have given such a bad rep to the very idea of an education from one of these schools, and it shows when you talk to hiring managers. The guy with the online degree is above the "high school education" candidates, but markedly below the "brick-and-mortar university" resumes. Better to take online classes from a real school that offers an online curriculum.
University of Phoenix is in it for profit. (And, they have a football stadium, but no team!) I think that it will be in your lifetime when some of this begins to shift. "Brick and mortar" universities will continue to see decline in enrollment and the bubble of crazy tuition increases from a self-perpetuating academia will burst. I think U of P was started in the mid 70's, and eventually, it will carry more clout in its reputation. The amount of debt students are graduating from "elite" universities with is growing to the point that something has to self-correct. imho.
The average American student enters the world $24,000 in debt. Welcome to the slippery slope called life.
The problem is the way they advertise to their target demographic. They make them feel that if they don't get a college degree, they will amount to failure. When in fact, community colleges across the country(which are MUCH cheaper by comparison) offer some fantastic programs that teach a trade and offer an associates in return. And then they have a marketable skill that in most cases is recession proof. Just today, I applied to get into a community college program up in Ft. Worth that has an extremely high job placement rate. Something like 80% upon completion. And the job's starting salary is above 90 grand. Most 4 year degrees don't earn you a job paying half that. So if you end up owing roughly $80-160k in tuition to UofP, good luck paying that off any time soon. Thats nearly law school or med school type debt for a bachelors.
Has anyone else ever been told that your signature was too long, and that you'd need to shorten it in order to have enough time in the day to get done all your signing?
Sorry, we don't have those in Canada. I have to call out 1s and 0s over the phone just to send a fax.
