Dendrocopus pileatus ftw. And Cyanocitta cristata are way cool too, even if little old ladies bitch about them hogging the feeders. You have good taste.

Eeek, what kind of car, atak? I thought coils were easy to replace. Why are you replacing all 6(4? 8?) and not just the bad one(s)?

For my Blazer, coils are only 50 bucks apiece. Damn imports.

And re: showing up to work "on time". We're expected to be here to collaborate throughout the bulk of the day, but my current work is similar (in attitude and time) to my former work, and an old boss summed it up nicely: "Mathematicians only have a certain number of productive thinking hours in them over the course of a year. I hope we get most of them."

People who are Nits about time generally miss important aspects of management.

Then proceeds to go sit at each and every one of KPR's tables, hoping he forgot to uncheck autopost somewhere, and sure enough, does find that to be the case at a table or two, so he steals KPR's BB.
Hold'em is poorly designed in some important ways. The positional equity differences that come from the button / blinds make for some bad boundary conditions. Rationally, people should refuse to play the first hand if prompted to post a BB. Most people work around the flaw in the rules by not playing one hand and quitting, and putting what pressure they can on the defectors. In limit a big blind is a big deal.

Very cool of stickman to look for tables with autopost checked

What a disgrace

Oh, my boss is very easily the worst manager I've ever had. He completely doesn't know how to treat anyone and basically drives everyone away from the firm.

The worst part is that he knows (at least in theory) how to treat people. During his calm moments, one thing he stresses is that, in a team environment, there will be disagreements. So we should focus on using neutral language to avoid making anyone feel uncomfortable about disagreements. But he regularly berates people, not just for making mistakes, but for simply disagreeing with him. Example, we were discussing a strategy and I said that a certain position is arguable. He then said that no one who was ever taught the right way, the way he teaches people, would ever think the position I was stating.

And it's not just what he says, it's how he says it. He says it in the most belittling manner you can imagine, and full of anger.

I'll let you buy out of this for 30 if you want, but you have to agree before Sunday when the Rams beat the reeling Cardinals and the Jags beat the even reelinger Titans. After that, the price goes up

None of my previous jobs had any requirement to be in the office at a certain time because everyone assumed that, as a professional, I would make sure my job gets done.

In addition, 8:30 is early! If I showed up at my previous job at 8:50, I'd be the among the first people there.

If you had a court case that began at 10AM, and you showed up 20 minutes late, what would the judge say?

If Michael Vick showed up 20 minutes after kickoff, what would the fans say?

Most jobs start on time. Stores open at a certain hour. Other people can not go home if the next person is not there on time. The jobs that you can do whenever you please are in the minority.
