I just got out of a meeting where the new interim department head said that he is changing the annual merit increase policy to only give raises to the top 10-20 percent, 60 percent will get nothing, and the bottom 10% will be possibly put on a PIP and/or fired.

Wow, that is a great way to build morale.

@mietze I'm sorry you had to deal with this. This makes my scaremongering boss at the job issues pale in comparison. I don't' think I could do what you do and stay sane without clocking someone, thus ending that career.

flask was moved and is still full of whiskey.

Laws in Texas (I think that is where you said you are now, right?) are surly more lax than they are in So Cal. I would get busted for open container laws if I had a flask full of whiskey in the car...lol

Sorry people went through your shit. =(

You can rule out "teacher" because the flask is in there

I talk to you to often...

My wife is a teacher. It's not a surprise or secret among people who know a teacher.

@Ghost Yeah, that is exactly why I don't go that route and suffer with the flaky friends I do have...lol. I'm sure that there could be decent people that I could get to know and play with at the FLGS, but I don't have the time to vet people.

It just hit 7 am here and I haven't had coffee yet.

@mietze

I just tried some Empress 1908 gin yesterday. Pretty looking and not bad tasting. Not sure I prefer it over my Hendricks or not yet. More tastings will have to occur to verify.

Feeding the 'homeless' who ask you for money isn't helping anyone. Ever. I am a former homeless person. I can regale you with all the tales of homelessness you like. The ones who approach you and ask for food/money are junkies or scammers, for the most part. You're just enabling bad habits or a toxic lifestyle.

If you want to help the homeless give to one of thousands of reputable charities.

When they specifically are asking for food? Sorry. Going to have to agree to disagree with you.

EDITED: Maybe they are scammers or junkies, but even if that is the case I am helping to feed someone who is hungry and still find this an acceptable use of my donation as opposed to just handing over $ which may or may not be used for the things that were requested. I would rather feed a scammer/junkie than give them the $20 to get their next fix which might be the one to kill them.

@Macha

@Macha Yay for job offer though!

@Ghost I have a copy of that. I helped kickstart that thing.

@Auspice

Here are the various other things of geekery around the house. Boardgames, etc.

@deathbird

@Testament Yeah, fuck me! No offense taken

Oh are we doing bars as well?
