This is my dog. I don't think I could have taken this photo intentionally. I'm very proud of having taken it accidentally.

REBLOG FOR THE FLOWER

She just sat contented in the comfy chair as I built this up around her

I call this installation “The Cat of Amontillado.”

Some really truly terrible things have happened to Kaladin but frankly Kaladin dropping a classic one liner to Dalinar about taking care of the chasm fiend only to be immediately undermined by Shallan being like “it died of natural causes” is top 10 Kaladin L’s

You all know that one part in Well of Ascension where "Oreseur" jokes about eating Hammond like "One is, after all named "Ham"..."

Well that joke doesn't quite work when the book is translated to languages where ham doesn't have any food related meanings. So in the finnish translation the line goes like "I think he'd make a good ham-burger" which I honestly think is way funnier. Seriously hamburger? Are there even hamburgers in universe? Well it's not like impossible but honestly I can't picture it.

Help! I'm a Perfect Genius, but This Potential Employer Asked Me a Boring Interview Question!

Ask A Manager, 13 Feb 2024:

I was rejected from a role for not answering an interview question. I had all the skills they asked for, and the recruiter and hiring manager loved me. I had a final round of interviews — a peer on the hiring team, a peer from another team that I would work closely with, the director of both teams (so my would-be grandboss, which I thought was weird), and then finally a technical test with the hiring manager I had already spoken to. (I don’t know if it matters but I’m male and everyone I interviewed with was female.) The interviews went great, except the grandboss. I asked why she was interviewing me since it was a technical position and she was clearly some kind of middle manager. She told me she had a technical background (although she had been in management 10 years so it’s not like her experience was even relevant), but that she was interviewing for things like communication, ability to prioritize, and soft skills. I still thought it was weird to interview with my boss’s boss. She asked pretty standard (and boring) questions, which I aced. But then she asked me to tell her about the biggest mistake I’ve made in my career and how I handled it. I told her I’m a professional and I don’t make mistakes, and she argued with me! She said everyone makes mistakes, but what matters is how you handle them and prevent the same mistake from happening in the future. I told her maybe she made mistakes as a developer but since I actually went to school for it, I didn’t have that problem. She seemed fine with it and we moved on with the interview. A couple days later, the recruiter emailed me to say they had decided to go with someone else. I asked for feedback on why I wasn’t chosen and she said there were other candidates who were stronger. I wrote back and asked if the grandboss had been the reason I didn’t get the job, and she just told me again that the hiring panel made the decision to hire someone else. I looked the grandboss up on LinkedIn after the rejection and she was a developer at two industry leaders and then an executive at a third. She was also connected to a number of well-known C-level people in our city and industry. I’m thinking of mailing her on LinkedIn to explain why her question was wrong and asking if she’ll consider me for future positions at her company but my wife says it’s a bad idea. What do you think about me mailing her to try to explain?

Sir,

You have been wronged in the most grievous of ways by a coven of retaliatory, self-aggrandizing women who have failed in the extreme to recognize your brilliance, your talent, and above all, your general superiority.

Of course you should mail this mediocre "grandboss" on LinkedIn to inform her of the deep offense she caused you by interviewing you in the first place, let alone doing so using a boring question — indeed, you have a moral and professional obligation to do so in order to preserve your honor and the honor of scores of men like you who have never done a single solitary thing wrong in their lives, ever.

But I beg you to consider doing more. A single, private message to one incompetent bitch may not convey to the necessary parties the depth and breadth of the situation. Many, many people have important lessons to learn from your experience, and I encourage you to share it widely. Consider making a public LinkedIn post, and ensure that it is shareable across platforms. Depending on your financial resources, a billboard with your name, professional headshot, and contact information could go a long way toward ensuring that everyone in your industry who needs to know just how you handled the way these women treated you, does know about it. I hope that in your continuing job search, you are able to connect with potential employers who have a much better grasp of all you bring to the table.

Everybody wish my cats a happy 15th birthday! They've been with me through some of the worst and hardest and lowest points of my life, and I hope they'll continue to be happy and healthy for more years to come! Everybody please wish my kitties a happy birthday!

Lunchie the cat because he's a good boi and deserve to be seen by all!

i love fur, i love leather, i love wool, i love long lasting materials without plastic in them that will decompose and go back into the ecosystem after serving me well for several decades.

"I'm so over winter" is the most annoying thing you can say to me rn. Not even joking.

It hasn't snowed. You're in one layer.

You don't even have to defrost your car.

Also, what are you even looking forward to now? The Two Weeks of Spring? The Four Month-long Fire Apocolypse we used to call Summer?

not only is my new thesaurus terrible, but it’s also terrible

I hear audio, like voices, in the backgrounds of a lot of their tracks if I'm listening with the right speaker. I didn't realized some of their songs had talking in the background and it freaked me out so much before I realized it was in the songs lol.

I was listening to Blossoms with the new headphones I got for Christmas (JBL Tour One M2) and I heard something I hadn't heard before.

I swear I can hear a faint but real gut-curling scream in the background at 3 minutes and 9 seconds, right when Joey sings 'scream out to the sky'.

My sibling was able to hear it too, but my mother and sister couldn't. Am I tweaking??

If you are a science nerd like me and you like binging on space documentaries until 2 am, then I definitely recommend checking out documentaries about space narrated by Professor Brian Cox! I'm incredibly bad at physics, but he explains things in a way that it's not that difficult to understand, if that makes sense? Lol I highly recommend them! I actually wanted to go to one of his lectures, but sadly I was abroad at the time so couldn't go..
