A depressing dose of realism about vaccine distribution into next year -- (link) - decline Dec 2, 11:13 6
- I hear what you're saying, but people are saying spring like it's a bad thing. A month ago, we were all just hoping for anytime in 2021. -- nm - David, Horny New Guy Dec 2, 11:17
- oh, for sure. it won't be instant. AND you get the first dose and ... nothing changes, then you get the second dose and... wait for antibodies for a - Andie Dec 2, 11:17
- One factor for these is a question of how many different vaccines are available. I expect more are coming since the first few have come so quickly. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 2, 11:15
- Yup. This is why I've been aiming for start of next school year as "normal", hopefully. - Reagen Dec 2, 11:15 2
  - So had I, but he is trying to say 12/2021. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 2, 11:16 1
    - I don't think you need 100% to get "normal". -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 11:17
Admin card swipe struggle is real yo -- (link) - budice Dec 2, 10:57 3

Resumés are stupid. Applications are better. Change my mind. -- nm - Qale Dec 2, 10:57 11
- Except for application forms with field requests that force the person to choose between multiple wrong options to try to give a sensible narrative -- nm - Max Dec 2, 11:00
- Both are dumb. Interview is best. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 2, 10:59 9
  - Interviews are okay, skills evaluations and a series of conversations are better, and references are worthless. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 2, 11:04 5
    - References from people you already trust are great. References from names they give you are usually worthless. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 2, 11:15
    - If a reference is from someone you know well, it can be a good thing. But otherwise, agreed. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 2, 11:10 3
      - Sure - if I'm an employee. - ReluctantCynic Dec 2, 11:14 2
        
        I tend to hope that my long-term stays at two of my jobs shines brighter than anything else on there. -- nm - Qale Dec 2, 11:16 1
        
        I think you can rely on that. :-) - ReluctantCynic Dec 2, 11:23
  - Interview is the worst because it's a scenario unlike the real job, where I'd have research materials to give the best answer. -- nm - Max Dec 2, 11:01 2
    - Bah! Jobs are all about being under pressure! -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 2, 11:04 1

STIS: will adding a shed dormer to the top of a cape-cod style house increase value? - co-lalalala-lalala-in 🔔 Dec 2, 10:57 3

  - gotcha. i think we tear off the awful back porch, fix roof, refinish upstairs. - co-lalalala-lalala-in 🔔 Dec 2, 11:02 1
    - That was advice I got from a homebuilder a ways back when we were thinking of an addition. -- (edited) - VMan Dec 2, 11:09

- Similar to others - Thinking of you. Let me know if I can be of any help. -- nm - VMan Dec 2, 11:03
- As the son of an alcoholic nightmare I would simply say, "I am sorry. I know you are struggling with a lot of emotions right now. Just know I am..." - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 2, 11:01 2
  - This is good. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 2, 11:16
  - nice. -- nm - Andie Dec 2, 11:15
- Cheers? - Qale Dec 2, 10:58 1
  - ffs -- nm - co-lalalala-lalala-in 🔔 Dec 2, 10:58

- “Thinking of you during this trying time.” -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 10:47 2

    - Indeed. -- nm - David, Horny New Guy Dec 2, 11:02
    - it's amazing that if you just lie enough and wildly enough, people stop fact checking you. -- nm - co-lalalala-lalala-in 🔔 Dec 2, 10:54
  - *I* care. -- (edited) - znufrii Dec 2, 10:48
  - Being correct in the info one gives should be the basic expectation. It's not bad to be wrong, but it is bad to persist in being wrong when corrected. -- nm - TWuG Dec 2, 10:48

I gifted one month of something called "Dropout" streaming service to my son last night because he wanted to watch some kind of D&D show? - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 2, 10:08 8
