Might be in for one of these happy hours
After our similar blowout "IM DONE" blowup last week, it seemed better. (ETA...seemed, not seems)Update:
Smoothed over with a sincere apology by me.
Unclear whether residual feelings will develop into simmering resentments (on either side).
Probably closer to 5 Best Coast time.I have another one at 3 PDT that day. Not kidding. But yours sounds more fun.
So freaking in.Looking to do another Zoom for THURSDAY. It will be a virtual pub trivia edition. I will provide more details tomorrow,
No getting answers from Murdercat.So freaking in.
I posted the link for the madden game upthread a bit. just closed it cause I have to start working on dinner.In on the trivia.
What booze delivery services do y’all use?
Seems complicatedNo getting answers from Murdercat.
Oh but participants will need TWO devices. One for video and and one to input answers. Ultra high tech.
LolSeems complicated
How many chins per player are allowed? Depending on the answer I could be in.Lol
It could be. I’m mulling over options.
- Players holding up answers on paper/whiteboards
- players just writing down answers as we go along and then being on the honor system for their own scores
- Picking one player (in a rotation) the question. If they don’t get it correct it goes to the next player(s) until we get a correct answer.
- Using a third person platform to type in answers. I use a site called Socrative with my students. It actually works great. Players can’t see each other’s answers. This is what I am planning for. Players just need a phone and either a laptop or tablet.

What time on Thursday.Well OK
I was hoping to bring Mr krista to be a team, too. Is that allowed? If it's just one-player teams, then I'll have him do it instead of me.What time on Thursday.
I'll try to make sure my wife is talking to me for that window so we can be a team. Our first date was to a trivia night at an Australian/Kiwi pub. Here in Seattle. It's a surprisingly large category.

Multiplayer teams are not only fine but encouraged.I was hoping to bring Mr krista to be a team, too. Is that allowed? If it's just one-player teams, then I'll have him do it instead of me.
I totally mix it up...music, tv, movies, politics, science, history, geography, pop culture, porn, literature,...wife and i are a pretty good trivia team. she knows all the stupid pop culture stuff, my strengths are more mundane stupid life stuff.
What are the grocery stores like in Van Nuys?an aside: wife had cabin fever, so went to the grocery store, very early this morning. she's dressed for the pandemic. head to toe, covered. can't really see her face. store is relatively empty. of both people and product. she finds what's needed/available and is heading to the check out line. looks up, and the TV/billboard thing, in the store, is prominently displaying a message. 7 to 9am is for the elderly, 65+ and or the handicapped. she is then carded by the cashier, for my beer. she still feels guilty. cashier, did. not. care.
@Pinnacle-fish- said:This is great. Guys from Bovada are on live chat asking how to make it better and what else the degenerates want to bet on.

I'm sure there is an appropriate emoji, but I cannot find it
They both involve drinking, right?So we doing this thing tonight or tomorrow w/trivia or both?
I can't be on for long around 6-7 CDT but after 7 CDT works for me. I'll have the room open though.7 ET?
have you considered getting in touch with drifter? he was with them for quite a while before he took a job back east.So over the past few weeks I have been winding my way through the interview process for a corporate finance position at a fairly well known online retailer named named after a river/rain forest. So far I have done two phone interviews, submitted a writing sample, and have talked to an HR person about process, benefits, etc..
On Monday I do the "full loop" of interviews. Five interviews in six hours. Usually these would be on site, but instead this is going to all happen via video conference. Ugh.
I still have tons of prep to do to be ready. The process is rigorous. Or grueling.
The interviews are all "behavioral". They ask questions that require you to tell anecdotes that demonstrate how you align with their 14 "leadership principles". They need to be specific and you need to be prepared to go into detail. Which means you really need to prep them ahead of time. The good news is that many of the principles have some overlap. But because you can be asked the same kinds of questions by multiple people and they frown on repetition of the same anecdote, it means I really need to have 15-20 of these things prepared, minimum.
In addition to that hassle, I am kind of freaking out because the stakes now feel REALLY high. If this doesn't work out, when is the next opportunity going to come along? It could be quite a while.
And doing all those interviews via Skype or whatever is gonna suck.
But the positive is that I could have a pretty darn good job in a week and a half. Without ever meeting another human being in person.
Trivia still on for tomorrow. Writing questions as we speak.So we doing this thing tonight or tomorrow w/trivia or both?
Excellent....should be so easy with you writing them. Just sat back down after eating. Time tomorrow?Trivia still on for tomorrow. Writing questions as we speak.
As long as it doesn't involve decades, we should be fine.Excellent....should be so easy with you writing them. Just sat back down after eating. Time tomorrowTrivia still on for tomorrow. Writing questions as we speak.
It actually help if you're concerned about being prepped. You can have all your notes and bullet points you want to talk about printed out and strewn around your desk or up around your monitor.And doing all those interviews via Skype or whatever is gonna suck.
