Until the last panel I thought this was about the SBN business model.
up
Muahahahah!!!
Life has been weird since I left my last job. I absolutely love my job now, but I miss sportswriting. I’ve been practically begging to freelance and not even getting so much as a “no thank you,” in return from people/publications who were my peers a year ago. I mean, I’d actually appreciate some kind of rejection, instead of just… nothing. I kept telling myself that I didn’t quit journalism because I wasn’t good enough, but that I wanted something better for myself. Now the doubt is starting to creep in.
(Yes, I know, I could just start a blog about sports and write whatever/whenever I want. Not the same thing.)
Anyway… how’s your night going, FKers?
up
I have a shit ton of work. I hate being sick… you always come back swamped
up
FWIW, getting the cold shoulder is becoming standard practice these days. I wouldn’t sweat it too much.
up
Yeah. Just wait until you get a rejection letter 7 months down the line after you’ve forgotten about even applying there.
up
Oh, believe me, it’s happened to me more times this year than I even want to admit to. I once even got a rejection letter *in the mail* for a job that I applied to several months before. I almost wanted to frame it for posterity.
up
Well at least someone is showing some class with their laughably late rejections.
up
Personally, I think they (and many other places) could have shown more class by returning my emails and phone calls, but c’est la vie.
up
It certainly would be nice, but in fairness, a lot of these people are very busy and they could very well be overwhelmed with other attempts to apply for positions. And if their job itself isn’t necessarily hiring as a primary purpose, they’ve probably got much higher priorities. If you’re waiting around for individual companies to get back to you as a part of your job search, you’re probably doing it wrong anyway. That’s in no way suggesting it wouldn’t be polite for them to get back to people, just noting there are very good reasons not to.
up
No, I get it — people are busy, especially in the “super special” urban wasteland I’m living in at the moment. I don’t take it personally anymore, but it’s still kind of annoying to wait for weeks or even months on end, especially after one or two rounds of interviews. A rejection within a couple of days is a relief, but those are kind of rare.
Anyway, the last time I had to go through these motions was back in 2005 and 2006. A few things have changed, I guess.
up
Oh, if you interview, there’s really no excuse for not letting you know. I thought we were just talking about sending in a resume.
up
This used to piss me off as well. And now, there are at least three people I’ve never gotten back to, and if I did it now it’d be pretty laughable.
It seems like every time I’m critical of anyone, it’s not too soon after that I find myself in their shoes.
Every Wednesday is BOGO Free Sundaes at Baskin Robbins, who wants to meet up at one on Wednesday?
up
baskin robbins still exists? you mean there are non hipster icecream venues?
up
Not many of them.
Even in Sacramento, it’s mostly indies.
up
Leatherby’s, among others.
up
I like Vic’s on 2nd Avenue & Franklin, and then walk up two blocks to Coffee Garden, where there’s a lush and beautiful back patio and an almost-invisible side room that seems to almost always have some interesting discussion group going on.
up
There’s at least one in Novato.
I keep reheating my soup and forgetting it.
up
It is homemade carrot ginger.
up
I made black bean chili and cornbread.
dear people where are you
up
Good morning DFA!
up
Good morning Colin!
up
Hola Kay!
up
Bonjour Aces!
up
Afternoon all.
up
Hi ptbnl
up
What’s up dmoas?
up
Never fear, Ozz is here. Briefly.
up
Good Afternoon.
up
Hi Colin
ARod, Bartolo, Nelson Cruz, GIO among names in Miami PED ring…
up
FWIW:
up
Also, a couple updates related to him here:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/nationals-watch/2013/jan/29/gio-gonzalez-among-several-big-name-players-linked/
up
Ouch.
up
If the A’s knew about Gio’s PED usage and Washington didn’t, prior to the trade, it looks like even more of a score for the A’s front office.
I would think the A’s front office has some (crude) formulas to roughly predict suspension probability/time lost of players based on accumulated rumor, conjecture, and firsthand knowledge. Then again, it is early in the morning and I’m full of coffee and optimism, so maybe not.
up
I’m not convinced he did use anything illegal.
As for PEDs: difficult topic. I’m tired of it all but it’s an unfair disadvantage to the athletes who play clean.
up
I’m with you on this, but I often wonder what the ratio of clean to doping players is in reality.
up
1-3?
up
That sounds like a good estimate.
up
I hope I’m not just being defensive because it’s Gio, but the evidence linking these athletes to this fake doctor is only his handwritten notes which his partners took when he stiffed them for their share of the business, right? The staff say they never actually saw any athletes, and the only person who admits to visiting this clinic is Gio’s dad.
up
Of course, if they knew it means they traded away one PED user and then signed another who isn’t even as good.
up
No kidding.
up
read the thread dfa
up
and yet they signed bartolo
up
That’s the stupidest thing I’ve heard in at least 48 hours, and it raises a major red flag (Ignorant Arrogant Bullshit)
up
It’s a dumb comment, sure, but I’m going to wait to see what the truth is first.
up
Makes sense. We have opposite inclinations when confronted with these situations. Remember, tho, that I’m pro-PED use and think it should be encouraged within tight medically-controlled parameters, with meticulous data collection, so that the athletes of today are the test subjects and past samples of tomorrow.
up
I’ve never really regarded apple pie as clean.
up
I would say that apple pie is more traditionally American than clean…Embarrassment is also American…PEDs are embarrassing. Therefore, apple pie = PEDs. I see no other possible answer!
up
[Does the math]
[Carries the one]
[Checks work]
Yup. That’s what I got too.
up
(puts down pie)
(zips up pants)
What?
up
I don’t know what the point of you zipping your pants up is when they’re not even on. And there’s no way I’m eating that pie with your junk resting in it.
up
Eat it? I thought they were getting throw into people’s faces..
(of course I doubt you would want to take it and throw it with my junk resting on it, but that’s besides the point)
up
You know what happens when someone shoves a pie your face? You eat it. Not a lot of it, but still, some of it.
up
Yep. 100% clean.
up
Especially considering all the pesticides and artificial shorteners in apple pie.
up
I read in one of the reactions that the drugs he is listed as receiving aren’t even banned.
up
Heard speculation that the NY Times just linked him to the story to draw more attention to it. Obviously that’s a suspicion, but it might make you wonder.
So I have:
drinks on Thursday with a girl at the Page before Popscene
Moma on Saturday with a Sculpter girl from 11 to 2
Noir City festival with a French girl Saturday Night
Bourbon on Tuesday with an OBGYN student
Shiiiiiiiiiit
up
I told a girl how I felt about her and it was not reciprocated.
up
Sucks. But at least you know.
up
that sucks.
That being said its the best outcome, because now you know and can move on.
Girls are a numbers game in that you gotta expect to find lots that don’t work before finding one that does, so just find more people that you get excited about and then ask them out. Don’t get discouraged.
up
Not really my style but thanks.
up
Mine either, but I’ll admit our way takes a lot longer to find a match.
up
Isn’t it (in some ways) a sense of priority too? If you’re in a hurry to be in a relationship, the quantity over quality makes a lot of sense because you’ll find that person a lot faster. If you’re not in a hurry, quality over quantity makes a lot of sense, because you can use that extra time in between possibilities to do other things you may be more interested in or just dealing with life/yourself in general. (This isn’t to say the women DFA or anyone else like him are meeting aren’t quality, I only use that term as a overly simplistic function of the argument).
up
Maybe, but only if you think that’s really what’s going on. I think it’s probably the case that there is no way to make much of a judgment without getting in the game, so (to use a poker analogy) you aren’t increasing the odds of getting a good hand. You’re just playing fewer of ‘em, reducing the odds you’ll ever get Aces.
up
Very fair. And more or less my poker strategy too.
up
But apparently if I switch to their friends after getting their numbers using the Monty Hall paradox I increase my odds.
up
Well played, sir.
up
So much Win.
up
Yeah, I hate it when people are nice to you after you tell them to go fuck themselves
up
this is so much win.
up
et tu brute
up
Keep your head high, mate – I’m sure there are hella good things in store for you
up
Slut.
up
I actually forgot one. Im doing Nightlife on Thursday next with a girl.
up
Just a few days shy of Cervical Health Awareness Month!
Seriously youre all in bed before midnight again?
What are you all like 49 or something?
up
Niners, baby!
up
I had to wake up at 5 … so … yeah, I may be 49.
up
In fact, for this year only, I’m a 49er.
up
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.
Webinars
put on by the US EPAare the epitome of bureaucratic waste. Ugh.up
fixed that for you
up
True dat. However, whereas all webinars are useless, EPA’s are painful. They read off their slides, or, if their slide happens to be a graph, they read off of a script. According to a former EPA employee/current colleague of mine, the vast majority of the “questions” are internally developed beforehand so that they have scripted answers. They use technical jargon rather than plain English.
Basically, they break every rule from my 1 credit grad school course in communication. The dean of my grad school was a former EPA director and many fellow graduates have gone on to work there. It’s astounding.
Holy FKing FK … 15-page grant proposal written in a day.
Time for bed.
up
I feel for you. Rest well. I don’t miss the days when I had to do 9 or 10 proposals in three weeks.
up
Can I have
$5a supercomputer?Patrick Stewart would’ve been a way better James Bond than Roger Moore was.
up
Exhibit A:
up
BAZINGA!
I think the fingers on my right hand are slightly longer than the fingers on my left hand.
up
Is the right palm also hairier?
up
There comes a point where hairy is just hairy. Further distinction becomes impossible.
up
So you’re an ambidextrous masturbator?
up
Of course! It’s just a lot more convenient.
up
You mean you don’t need to use both hands when you do it?
I’m so sorry.
up
No I let her use both hands though.
up
Just as long as her hands aren’t like this.
up
up
Ozz was mentioning Alison Brie in the other thread…
up
There goes the rest of my day, thanks.
up
Lies.
up
Ok, fine. There goes 22 seconds twice, 7 hours apart. Happy?
up
My day is over.
up
Notice what’s rotating on the one behind her?
up
That’s awesome.
up
up
Wait, you mean you NEED both hands to do it?
up
One hand holds the magnifying glass?
up
Win.
up
So much.

ASVD
up
I don’t even need all my fingers.
