I don't think a cat picture will go over well with corporate. They have tried to use some memes in company wide emails in the past and it was kind of an epic fail....

First time using the multi-quote feature as well. That was surprisingly more intuitive than I was expecting
Sometimes you are just not going to win. Sounds like you did your level best.
Most of the complaints I have had with transactions have been involving logistics companies. They just seem to not care who they piss off. If you make it clear it was all on them there's not a lot your Corp folks can hold you to. They should in turn be screaming at the account folks at said logistics company.

IIRC, one of us is the head honcho of a department and the other is actually HR (or close to it)!

That is actually a good idea changing the name lolol

I don't know about you people, but I don't brake for jay walkers. I don't run them over, obviously, but if I see them trying to gauge whether or not they can step out into traffic, or even if they're already in the road, I don't slow down. I make sure they have to stand there and watch me go past. I'll only stop if they decide to be really stupid and run in front of me.

What do you mean by "you people"?? I'm calling Human Resources!!!

jk


I don't either. One reason why I bought a dash cam is because of the stories out there of jaywalkers not giving a fuck about cars coming down the road and expecting people to slam on their brakes and hope the car stops in less than a second.

YA sometimes Random and work blend together for me. It can be confusing.

I've always wanted to hunt feral pigs from a helicopter.

Yes they will. I have seen it first hand. They are also smart as hell. Way smarter that many dogs. Oh, and mean. Very, very mean.
If they do evolve we are screwed.

Total way. Easy enough to search and find details. They don't technically become "Boars" which is a different breed, but it's a very big problem in North America.

Doesn't help that they are also very intelligent, and breed, well, like pigs. They pretty much eat, sleep, and procreate. A sow can get pregnant at 6 months and have two litters a year of up to 8 babies each time.

Re-watching all my runs from the weekend. I did terrible at the prosolo on Saturday which was a drag start + autox hybrid event. Yesterday, I was having the run of my life during the last lap until the tires simply overheated due to near 100 degree weather and lost total grip at the end Oh well...

My lines could've been more clean, and need to work backsiding cones during slalom portions..
