Are you arguing with yourself again, Athos?

EDIT: KC beat me to it. :(
Well, you can be glad that you are slower to make lame posts. Look at the positives, D'Artagnen.

The intended recipient of my post knows exactly what I am talking about (and so might you if you follow the little arrow).

Okay...I'm confused. You quoted your own post. What did I miss?

So, since I have a hutch that is kind of a curio display thingie I've been making an observation about the difference a family or a gal might put on display as opposed to an old boy. Loaded up the right side with wine glasses (cause BoxsterCy) but the rest is trending 100% "boy": conch shell, turtle shell, emu egg, WWI spikee helmet, some fossils, vintage Schuco blue Ferrari windup race car, antique German beer growler, vintage Cy statuette, American chestnut tree seed pod (nearly extinct), geode etc. :rolleyes: It's like a freakin' man cave in a case. ;)

Box, I'm sure your woodworking knowledge is wide - the pieces you buy are uniformly excellent! - but I'm wondering if you have ever used tung oil to finish your pieces. I swear by it.
 
Remember how I mentioned they were basically lowering our bonuses for my department/division? Well they finally had an open call today about our incentive plan and oh boy was that a **** show. Obviously all the questions were about the bonus cuts and they said this statement and said thank you everyone and got off the call. What a load of crap

"[Company] continually reviews its plans and policies with respect to industry, market trends, and standards. There are annual internal benchmark reviews to ensure our compensation plans remain competitive and aligned to business performance. The changes in [incentive plan name] for all roles are the outcome of that review and were approved by the [Division] LT level. With customer expectations high and our competitors moving fast, we must raise the bar on performance to remain competitive."

I hate ******** answers like that. By "remain competitive" they mean "offer as little as possible while maintaining acceptable retention." My company gave an answer like that last year after some nasty changes as well. It was doubly insulting when I found out what they were using as competitors for comparison was decidedly not the same caliber pool we were recruiting talent from. And I love how while the company will not aim to outperform competitors when it comes to benefits/incentives, they will sure as hell expect you to have outperform in order to receive incentives.
 
left the house for the first time since last Thursday (aside from walks) to run to Target. I was gone 40 minutes and come home to screeching baby. DH says while I was gone there was a massive poopsplosion that came up the front of the diaper, spit up incident, and baby wouldn't stop crying. Normally DH is pretty capable of soothing. Maybe baby heard my joke to DH when I walked out about going to the gas station for cigs and thought I was never coming back.
