I'm thinking Airplane! as well and I'm not really even into comedy. It's just so culturally important. Okay, that sounds a little pompous, lol

rugby, it's the Queen's English, we just borrow it.

Mrs. T is convinced that I don't pronounce the second word in "Pinot Noir" correctly, so I now deliberately exaggerate my pronunciation of it every time I say it just to be irritating.

Lets put a bow on my little thing I had going, So basically the Salary I told them I was at ( which is 20% ish more then I make now, but an obv lie) Is what they effectively came back with . I told them flat out that wouldn't work and they came back with 30%ish above my current still far lower then the initial 75% that gave me pause in the first place.
I ended it very cordially with disappointment and made sure they knew that I really lked the company and hopefully one day blah blah blah and they said the same that the doors open too etc.
I'm sorta glad I got "low balled" here it made my choice easier.Apparently the max they ever were going to go was 45% above anyway.

Side note current company , I'll be in Vegas the first week of October with them for AWS re:Invent if any you nerds are going . My Birthday too!

Well that recruiter is sad, I've known guys who do that for a living. They get pretty disappointed when things get close and they're left to start over.

It's not out of the norm but depending on the person they get pretty tilted. Sounds like your guy wasn't being above board or they gave him erroneous information to start off with.

In the long run you'll be very thankful of the time you aren't sacrificing to be around your daughter.

It's so nice when they make it easy, killa.

Damn you, I'm going to be in Vegas week of October 19th for Tableau.

Does it tilt you that the vast majority of ESL learners in the world want to learn American English?

I wonder if, in the history of the world, anyone has ever intentionally shot themselves in their ass hole.

It's OK for people to be wrong.

Obviously they would because the spellings of some of the trickier words have been simplified for George W Bush level intellects.

Anything?

I'm deciding whether I should inform you or keep circling with the other vultures.

edit;
or maybe you can, copyright seems out of the question

You won't be able to get a copyright on a game, but games are patentable. You will have to think carefully about how to patent the game. Specifically, a game patent might cover a method of playing the game and, if so, who would you sue on the patent? People playing the game? Not very deep pockets. Good luck.

So I'm forced to share my game with the world out of the goodness of my heart? This ****ing sucks!
09-03-2015 , 10:27 AM
Ok, out with it.

I'm currently standing outside the patent office. I'm ready Dr.Spaceman.

I have to dump this somewhere.
This woman at my work is whining and crying that she hasn't seen her daughter in two weeks. Her daughter is in her 2nd year at college, not first and is only 3 hours away.
I haven't seen my mother in a year and half and have mentioned this on plenty of occasions that I don't want to be reminded of it and she still insists on whining about this to me. She was even showing me pictures of her daughter today. I'm so freaking annoyed right now.

Either write a screenplay about the game or get a job at the YMCA or a rec league and spend 40 years trying to get your game to catch on.

You can probably patent it.

Tell your co-worker her daughter is probably pulling a train for the new freshmen and she will stop bothering you.
09-03-2015 , 12:57 PM
choo-choo.
09-03-2015 , 12:57 PM
I think she would faint if I said that lol

That wasn't the goal?
