- Isn't that like fast forwarding through the sex while watching pornography? -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 17:26 2

- Ooh, you should come out to visit :) I'm about 2 1/2 miles from the Crystal Cathedral. -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 18, 17:16
- yep - that's him. He lives in Irvine and his church choir was guesting at Crystal Cathedral. -- nm - Diva Oct 18, 17:05 3
  - Was he the one that went to that fun place in Vegas? Where we all had fun? -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 17:39 2
    - which place is this? - kelly Oct 18, 17:41 1
      - I don't remember either. THAT place. -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 17:42
poll "core class" (fitness thing) - we love it or we hate it ? - JenBro Oct 18, 16:56 10
- of course you are tired. you use a lot of different muscles with the variety of exercise that normally do not get a workout -- nm - peglegpete Oct 18, 17:23 2
  - YES - that's exactly it - it's a general overall fatigue - not any "one" place. -- nm - JenBro Oct 18, 17:25 1
    - spoiler - peglegpete Oct 18, 17:27
- why not? -- nm - Andie Oct 18, 17:03 4
  - well ... even though I'm fatigued, it just doesn't seem like 2 sets of 40 seconds on each "station" is a lot of work ... the mat work is more intense - JenBro Oct 18, 17:07 3
    - I didn't see the 40 second part, that's a little strange. i do a lot of Pilates and mat work. Do they have that? I just started boxing too, a half - jnine Oct 18, 17:17 2
      - I've always wanted to try boxing - how do you like it? Yeah - the 40 seconds seems a bit short - but I guess we add 5 seconds each week to work up - JenBro Oct 18, 17:25 1
        
        the thought of you boxing makes me laugh -- nm - hachiko Oct 18, 17:38
- I think they're fun. Great for toning and stretching your muscles, but not a lot of cardio so you won't lose weight. I always have a lot of energy, - jnine Oct 18, 17:00
- meh. -- nm - loosilu Oct 18, 16:56

  - Apparently. She sounded well-spoken on the radio, even if her entire platform is the legalization of pot and casino gambling. -- nm - Tim Oct 18, 16:56 1
    - Oh and her zing was "with this tax, jobs would leave the state faster than Carl Paladino at a gay bar." -- nm - Tim Oct 18, 16:57

so we have a policy from HO that when an employee has a life event, HO or the school cannot pay for a gift or flowers. have a kid? your dept takes up - chromanda Oct 18, 16:31 48
- i don't know what HO means, but to me the policy would mean the company doesn't pay. what individuals deem appropriate to contribute is completely - kare Oct 18, 16:58 12
  - usually means head office -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 16:59 11
    - home office -- nm - loosilu Oct 18, 16:59 10

        there is no Q in office. - loosilu Oct 18, 17:00 8
        
        just in ST:TNG? -- nm - peglegpete Oct 18, 17:21
        
        your T is showing. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 17:01 6
        
        she's not a detail person. -- nm - TFox Oct 18, 17:03 4
        
        psssst. Strong N means not a detail person. - loosilu Oct 18, 17:09 3
        
        But at what point to real-world results override hypothetical predictions? -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Oct 18, 17:28 2
        
        ask the Myers Briggsologists. -- nm - loosilu Oct 18, 17:32 1
        
        I wish *I* had a degree in Myers-Briggsology :( -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Oct 18, 17:36
        
        wanna see my F? -- (link) - loosilu Oct 18, 17:02 [Backboard]
- Policy is Policy -- nm - amoxy Oct 18, 16:57
- but, won't every one chip in for flowers anyway? stick with the policy, to the norm. -- nm - Andie Oct 18, 16:47 2
  - tana's points are that 1) we shouldn't have to because kim has been here so long, the school owes her this and 2) there have been too many events - chromanda Oct 18, 16:51 1
    - reading and comprehension is not a prerequisite for employment? :) -- nm - peglegpete Oct 18, 16:56
- Tell her that if the mother wasn't very elderly, or if the death had been more sudden, then maybe. -- nm - TFox Oct 18, 16:45 5
  - you know, I put "very elderly" in my message because I felt like it would make me seem like less of a bad guy. but it doesn't matter. no matter how - chromanda Oct 18, 16:47 4
    - I have a policy that you can't reply under an obvious joke as though I made a salient point. - TFox Oct 18, 16:48 3
      - spoiler. - loosilu Oct 18, 17:14 1
        
        not one you can follow, anyway. -- nm - TFox Oct 18, 17:29
      - ALL GLORY TO THE POLICY -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 16:53
- hold the line....nm - x Oct 18, 16:41
- tell the supervisor's boss she is messing with company policy, and the pressure is not pleasant -- nm - peglegpete Oct 18, 16:35 2
  - how about this: I *am* the supervisor's boss. I am saying no, I will not escalate to the pres or HO. I feel like crap about it, the policy sucks, but - chromanda Oct 18, 16:43 1
    - great. -- nm - peglegpete Oct 18, 16:46
- I say chip in. -- nm - loosilu Oct 18, 16:33
- and being human is not in the policy? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 18, 16:32 19
  - the policy is "we don't pay." I don't think that's human, but it's the policy. how long kim has worked here doesn't change the policy - chromanda Oct 18, 16:33 18
    - Hee, hee. Mandy is a "T". (I'm guessing ENTP?) nm - ralph wiggum Oct 18, 16:44 14
      - I used to test ENTJ. now I test INTP. so, yes, NT. I am so totally an introvert, though. -- nm - chromanda Oct 18, 16:46 13
        
        I think i was INTJ, but I totally forget. It's been so long. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 16:50
        
        My INTP sister! nm - ralph wiggum Oct 18, 16:48 11
        
        steve our friend who is all about myers-briggs called BS when I switched. "you can't change first and last. only inner!" - chromanda Oct 18, 16:53 6
        
        I just took a course on presentation skills that was really into the Myers Briggs model. The facilitator said she can pick a person's type by - ralph wiggum Oct 18, 17:02 3
        
        I do that too but I'm thinking of dreamy vacation spots. -- nm - Max Oct 18, 19:10
        
        yeah me too. as a strong N I am all over the place. -- nm - loosilu Oct 18, 17:03
        
        last sentence of your IM = me -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 17:03
        
        IIRC, I/E switch easily, and the hardest to switch is N/S. -- nm - loosilu Oct 18, 16:56
        
        I think there's a class of "I" that has traits which emulate the "E", but that it might fade over time. - Beryllium Oct 18, 16:54
        
        *raises hand* - loosilu Oct 18, 16:52 3

        *retakes test.* -- nm - chromanda Oct 18, 16:54
    - if everything just was that easy then you actually did'nt need any supervisors at all - Danedukenuuk Oct 18, 16:36 2
      - clarifying: this is a *terrible* workplace. does that change your answer? -- nm - chromanda Oct 18, 16:41 1
        
        nahh but i understand why it is terrible -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 18, 17:43
