I have NEVER done that. Its dumb, you’re going to get caught or called out if it requires any skill. I knew this idiot who thought he was going to fake his way through a job as a CNC machinist (?!?!?!). My response was a simple “UMMMM no you will not.” That’s a trade. It requires school many many hands-on training hours or you a) won’t know shit and b) will probably get hurt trying. But despite my warnings he quit our place and took the job anyways, I will give him credit: he made it through a whole shift before getting fired and asking for his old job back. Which was already filled by then.
Degrees are different. The past year or so, about 90% of my job has been doing interviews and hiring, and if I found out someone did like what Kubla said above I would be generally understanding. Life is no joke. But faking degrees, or skills all together, is something that not only indicates a lack of morals, but could potentially get the company in trouble if something happened involving that employee and/or become a problem when the employee who falsified whatever turns out to not have that skill.
So, you MMA fans out there... Jon Jones just popped again on his last drug test, so Nevada won't let him fight... so at the last minute, the UFC is moving the fight to LA where they will let him fight. That's all kinds of fucking hilarious. Can you imagine being a fan and dropping a few grand on a trip to Vegas only to find out that a week out they up and move it on you? What the fuck are they thinking... https://mmajunkie.com/2018/12/jon-j...32-moved-to-los-angeles-gustafsson-dana-white It's officially GOOFCON 3 now. (GOOFCON USERS GUIDE)
Reminds me of this NFL season a month or so ago when the Rams and Chiefs were supposed to play in Mexico City and the game got moved to LA because the field in mexico was shitty. I'm surprised Jones is still allowed to even fight. Even if he tests clean before a fight, at this point his performance will be called into question regardless. Sadly, he's so naturally talented and he still thinks he needs to do this shit. I get it if you're a marginal dude just trying to break in and the risk is worth the reward, but if you're a superstar like that? Cut that shit out.
To be fair, he's popping an incredibly small amount of his past transgression that experts around the world say isn't enough to show he's done it recently... this could still be after-effects from his previous doping. That being said, the Nevada commission isn't really going into overdrive over Christmas to figure it out, which is why they're doing the move. The way it was explained is that he tested positive for the equivalent of 1/50,000,000 of a grain of salt of the banned substance... which is crazy small. Still, I'm not one to cut Jones any slack... dude is a world class fuck-up and it would not surprise me in the least if he was doping for this fight.
Got invited to our neighbor's Christmas Party at the last second tonight. I used to work with his daughter who texted me to get our asses over there. He graduated with my Dad in '72 and after 6 or 7 beers and a shot of something, I politely declined another beer and left while I could still walk. He and his brother and law still going strong. I had a great time, good conversation. I'd love to have stayed for more holiday cheer, but the last time I got drunk my wife wasn't amused. So we'll call this a happy compromise. Merry Christmas fellow idiots.
It's always nice to bail before it gets ugly... may we're all learning shit in our old age after all. Well, except RoTN...
Dana only cares about how much money lands in his pocket from here on in. He has no dignity or Love Of The Game left in him. And money is what he knows how to make.
When it starts to reach that tipping point is when the party REALLY starts. That's when you find the drunkest one or two people in the room (shockingly, rarely me) -- the people who overshot their landing -- and provoke them into doing stupid shit while some asshole videotapes it.
Salon party was last weekend. Somehow I wound up lost in the hotel with the salon owner, she was ready to pee in the hallway, and I’m like dude, let’s just go back to the ground floor. Then we went outside and up a hill. In the mud. With me wearing my new sparkly heels. I need to learn to leave earlier.
from what I heard, it was that 1: the amount was so low as to be considered from not a recent dose( the drug in questions is supposedly in the sytem for up to 18 months)..and 2. that the NV gaming commission is all on vacation, so it's tough to get a waiver.....but I've also heard that the UFC wanted into LA before this donkey-fire went down...
Yeah, I hear ya. I'm just pissed that he fucked over DC the way he did, so my attitude is basically "fuck Jones".
oh, trust me, as a guy who watched Jones, after coming out of ICCC(IA community college) and stating "you wont catch me getting a DUI" and then watching him rocket upwards, I can say, hes a fuck-tard. Maybe the most talented fuck-tard to ever step on the mat, but he's a fuck-tard.
If he never tested positive before, I would agree they should let it go. But its Jon Jones; where there's smoke there's a dumpster fire.
Yeah, wish id learned that sooner. Hangovers began to hurt a lot more after 40, so I no longer over do it. Makes for a happier wife too.
Yeah, it’s pretty good. A whole lot better than the shared premise of “Her”. Amen to that. I’ve focused on session ales as they have half the abv of usual beers and taste the same. My old 6-9 beers a night has been reduced to 2-3 early on and a bowl. I usually chug a Gatorade before bed too just in case. Once you hit 40 it’s all about self preservation and learning to preplan for the following morning.
I got an air fryer about 6 months ago, it’s awesome for wings. I scored a bunch of fancy new yoga gear. I was definitely due for the upgraded mat, my old one is 4 years old and getting beat. We are heading up to Winterpark tomorrow, so he and my son can play with their new boarding stuff. We opened early so they could prep their gear. I allowed myself to be roped into church with all of the family. I can last an hour, right? Especially if I start drinking now?
So we opened our presents early this year, since Li'l Bandit won't be here for actual Christmas (He's going to visit his grandfather in Mexico). Jungle Julia got me a shiatsu massage cushion that she really got for herself; I got her a pair of turquoise earrings and a sterling silver turquoise pendant/ chain (she LOVES turquoise), and some pairs of underwear: one is Wonder Woman, another a taco print, and the last is a print of weed leaves, joints, etc. Li'l Bandit got a Craftstman tool set to carry in his truck, and Jungle Julia gave him her old laptop. Have fun tonight, fellow idiots.
