I never said you hired him.

...

:lol: So noone else will employ him, but you do.

 

[muzby]

^ you employ him.

present tense.

doesn't imply you were the one who employed him.

just says you are continuing the employment arrangement.

To be honest if someone came to me and all their resume was was a napkin with the words "I was fired by/quit on BF" I'd take that as good business sense and hire them on the spot. I don't need referees I don't even care.

People climbing the corporate ladder are like a bunch of monkeys climbing a tree. The monkeys at the bottom are always looking up at a bunch of arseholes. If the ones at the top look down, all they can see is a bunch of monkeys.

Particularly apt for BF Inc.

That moment when you realise you haven't got any quaffing wine...

I'm listening... err... reading

 

[Drew-Sta]

Hold on a sec here, let's see if I got this right...

Let's say for arguments sake I put in a recommendation to the board to terminate his contract... I won't, but let's say I do and they go ahead with it. You're saying that you'll hire someone who doesn't communicate with his team via mediums provided to him - company mobile phone, or email via company laptop, and someone who takes sickies when he can be working from home on his laptop, and someone who expects people to do his work because he's too lazy, then complains about it when he was told the reason why it wasn't done for him?

 

[Drew-Sta]

No, he's saying you're a shit manager.

[Red Bear]

cant the rest of you just put BF on ignore.

Wadeing through a bunch of hidden posts and then responses is just mind numbing

 

[Misanthrope]

What's the worst thing - your 'line' - that you'd do for $10,000?

 

[Apey]

Spend the day with BF.

Add three 0s and I'll spend the night.

I can't for mod reasons.

I try not to engage as much as I can but today I was bored.

I just absolutely nailed a somewhat tricky (for me anyway) song on guitar I've been trying to get right for a while now. Pretty happy.

Always just mucked around with guitar but the last 6 months or so I've really been playing a lot more frequently and I'm getting a lot better. Still mediocre as anything but for me it's been a big improvement. Pretty happy with is to be honest. got nicely calloused fingers as well.

 

[DB]

What song Red Bear?

 

[DB]

I'd spend the day with BF for free... I am curious about whether he is legit.

 

[Red Bear]

What song Red Bear?

Mostly not particularly difficult (but really fun to play), but playing it completely cleanly with timing etc. is very satisfying. And the little bit from about 2:17 onwards took a long time to get right.
