It tends to confirm the original sacking was probably justified.
Washburn confirmed that Gammell also worked for them, but had left in good terms three years before, to start his own soldering training company.
The funny thing, at least to me, is that while soldering properly is an art form, it is rather easy to learn. A couple of YouTube videos, and a little practice and you are there. I learned to solder many many years ago from a former NASA employee who had worked on the Apollo project.
Your idea is great, for other people. Just not me. I honestly can't stand most people. The majority of people are loud, smelly, obnoxious, assholes, who absolutely refuse to cleanup their own messes.
So unless someone is going to clean these vehicles on a VERY regular basis, they will be unusable in a very short time. There is a ride share company that parks their cars down the street from my work. I walk by them on quite regularly, from what I have seen, you couldn't get me in one of these cars without a full hazmat suit, and I used to detail cars for a living. Lastly, I am not germ phobic, but this is just plain disgusting.
They are upgrading their printer to an HP. In what universe is an HP printer an upgrade?
Can they Please, PLEASE, re-enact the printer destruction scene from Office Space?
Only if you assume the non-smokers don't goof off separately but equally.
As a former smoker. (I quit 6 years ago.) I can tell you most smokers are watching the clock for their smoke breaks. Where I live, you have 2 paid 15 minute breaks a day, and an unpaid 30 minute lunch.
The majority of smokers take all of these breaks, and use all the available time. Since I quit smoking, I might grab a coffee, then back to my desk and work (or slashdot). About 5 minutes.
If i can extrapolate from my behaviour, lets assume that each of the smokers replace the smoke break with a cup of coffee. so 15 minutes twice a day becomes 5 minutes twice a day. for a savings of 20 minutes a day. Times 200 days is 4000 minutes, divided by 60 is 66.66666 Hours, divided by 8 hour days equals 8.3333333 days.
As I said, a bargain for the company.
Tunics, gladiator sandals, uniforms, tuxedos, retro designed cars, gothic and roman style buildings are built today, classical music is still listened to.
Put any of these things on and wear them to work, if you still have a job tomorrow, tell us what your boss said.
I wore a tuxedo to work last night. No problem.
But that might be because I am a headwaiter...
Indeed... the orange troll-in-chief being top of the list...
Far be it from me to say anything positive about his Trumpyness.
But he really isn't orange anymore. Maybe he is too busy failing to repeal Obamacare to get a fake tan. If so at least something good came out of that.:)
Then again, if HR is reading my CV and judging instead of someone who knows what the technical terms contained within actually mean then I wouldn't want to work there anyway.
Nice in theory. But some of us live in the real world, and need to pay our mortgages. In the real world the HR department sees the CVs first.
Also I never said he was nontechnical, and I am not sure what would happen if he could find no trace of a person. But the impression he gave me was that the was looking for anything that might embarrass the company in the future.
I was on friendly terms with the HR manager at a former employer. We were talking one day about the hiring process, and he told me when a CV came in. He would not even read it without first googling the persons name. Then he would look them up on Facebook (For any embarrassing posts.) About half the CVs would get circular filed before he even had to read them.
If the CV looked good, then a check on Linkedin.
So watch what you put on the internet people.
Someone needs to get handed a few decades of jail time for this. By somone, I mean someone with Director, or C_O after their name. Better yet a few someones.
always a ton of parts and off lease laptops on ebay
Just recently bought a T420 with 16GB RAM, i7 processor, and a 250GB SSD from ebay. Got it for about what I would expect to pay for a new crap consumer grade laptop with lower specs. But this thing is fantastic. I put Linux (Mint 17.3 Cinnamon) on it, everything works with no issues, and it just flies for my workloads.
I was a high-ranking official in the state department. The FBI sent me a subpoena for my private email server because I used it to discuss classified government business, so I had my IT guy wipe my private email server before I handed it over to the FBI. Later he was discovered on Reddit and confessed to the FBI, but I made sure they couldn't trace the decision back to me.
I bet you would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those meddling kids.
I use the headphone jack all the time.
Music while working in the garage, plug into the stereo.
Music on the train, plug in the cheap headphones that never need an adaptor, or a charge.
Break my headphones on the road, pick up a cheap replacement set anywhere.
Nope, I am not ready to give up the headphone jack for something worse.
I use Linux as desktop at home, and at work. I get really grumpy if I have to use Windows.
Moved my totally non technical mother to Linux a few years back. Smartest move I ever made, support calls after the first two weeks fell off to nothing. She loves it., Never crashes, much faster, not waiting for endless updates. (Linux Mint Cinnamon, less of a learning curve than Win 10)
My house is mostly full of antique furniture. Made from real wood. With just a few pieces of Ikea crap, where I have not yet found a suitable piece of quality furniture.
But I actually enjoy putting this stuff together. I am color blind, but I imagine it is like what other people get out of doing jigsaw puzzles. Except when I am done I have a piece of furniture instead of a picture with a bunch of wavy lines through it. Crappy furniture I admit, but still better than a crappy picture.

One would have thought the most advanced species on the planet would be more capable of preventing it's own destruction. Guess not.
The mice are doing just fine, and are still looking for the question.

This is no more or less embarrassing than someone getting a tattoo of $current_lover_name.
This is why I now exclusively date women named Edith. I admit it does limit me a bit, but have you looked at the price of laser tattoo removal.
I already have a service that handles this, just send me the pic and I'll handle it....
I would take you up on this offer. But I would not want to be responsible your your blindness.
I know they "claim" they will not keep the pictures, but only a hash of the image. But do you really trust Facebook that much?
Ask the question people really care about.
Can you play Quake on the Management Engine, and if so, at what frame rate.

The offer 6 extra days to non-smokers.
Comes out as a bargain for the company.

The moon is not a scientific satellite.
That's right. It is a repository for nuclear waste.

That works pretty well to knock someone out and rape them.
You do know the difference between convincing and forcing, right?
Red Bull keeps them from passing out.
Also try growing a sense of humour.
How the fuck do you "recruit" someone for your sexual preference? You are or you are not gay, it's not like there's a way to change that.
I am told that large quantities of Vodka and Red Bull works pretty well.
