Eiroa

Watched a handful of the Classic Album series.

Pink Floyd - The Making Of The Dark Side Of The Moon
The Who - Who's Next
Cream - Disraeli Gears
Rush - 2112
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Damn the Torpedoes
Led Zeppelin IV
Deep Purple - Machine Head

All pretty good. The documentaries, although focus on the specific album, the go into the group dynamics, recording sessions, issues with producers and publishers, what led up the the album and beyond.

Funny thing I learned about Zep IV... when they gave Atlantic, the record company, the album cover artwork, Atlantic records didn't like and refused it because it didn't list the album title nor the group. (The cover front and back have no words if you notice). Atlantic tried to refuse to publish the album it until they fixed the art work... Zep said, Ok.. so I guess we won't give you the master tapes of the songs. Your move Atlantic... Upon further review of the contract, Zep had full control of the album artwork and Atlantic had no say... History was made.

Each documentary has some inside insight on things like this... pretty cool

Peter Gabriel - So... not so good (although I do like Peter Gabriel). Some interesting and insightful stuff but... the 80's film clips - ugh. Did we really dress like that back then?

Still a bunch more to watch.

It's always interesting to learn a little more about great bands/artists and albums.

Learned the coffee bean is a fruit (or technically he pit of the coffee cherry if you want to be specific). I will be increasing my intake of piping hot, sugar free, fruit juice. Thus bumping up my daily servings of fruits & veggies.

The plan is foolproof and I don't wanna hear any contrarian nay saying

Just finished watching the Fleetwood Mac Rumours documentary.

Such a great album. So wild to hear how they made such a great album while they were going through such turmoil.

Chocolate is a fermented product.

Now you can help us all learn something...does a broken mirror really cause 7 years of
bad luck?????

Delta, from the sound of it, you have a fancy bathroom!

Reading the replies in this thread!!!!

8 track make NO SENSE

I LEARNED THAT LONG AGO!!!

J/K

BWUHAHAHAHAHA!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂

so, your saying the "bad luck" thing is still unknown???

Gossip I learned in less than one hour this evening at a neighbor's Holiday Party:

One of the teenagers who used to babysit my kids is married and both her and her husband have gone through astronaut training and work for NASA.

Her brother, who watched my kids sometimes too, was a software engineer in on the beginning of Square and his stock options at the time of the IPO were worth $11 million and as the shares rose and he exercised additional stock options he became worth tens and tens of millions. (His dad told me this so I Googled him and it appears to be true.)

The girl around the block who used to play with m son when they were little is in medical school.

The brainiac girl three doors down, who also babysat my kids, finally came out to her parents and is a surgeon- and is also going to law school part-time (idiot).

The neighborhood loser kid went from high school to doing serious mega prison time for selling fentanyl laced drugs that killed two people. (It didn't make the news that I am aware of so I doubt it.)

My next door neighbor's son, who runs the family business (presently holding five Mexican restaurants), sold-off several of their others and wants his dad's permission to walk away and retire before 35. Dad is saying no.

The white people who bought the house on the corner are angry because they didn't know the seller was black.

Meiul, who lives across the street, is still an illustrator for Disney after longer than 20 years.

The new people across the street who I had not met yet, seem really cool.

Most important, the three or four idiot families in the neighborhood who cause all the trouble or who we have had issues with were not invited!

I learned that I can just punt on the last final papers in the classes this term and it only effects my overall GPA by 0.02. I'm totally burned out on these stupid management courses I has this term.

For 50 points out of a thousand they want me to to write 1000 word paper and address the following

Cut and paste from one of the assignments:

Robert is a supervisor at a large bottling company. His job includes managing safety and breaks and setting schedules for his twenty-five employees who use forklifts and other machinery to package and move filled bottles on to trucks for delivery.

Robert has career goals with the organization. First, he would like to become the bottling manager, which is one step up from his current job. In five years, Robert would like to become the director of operations who oversees the entire factory floor.

Robert is an excellent, well-liked manager by his employees, but when it comes to his supervisors, he is very quiet. He never mentioned the fact that his shift had one hundred accident-free days in a row or that productivity had increased 10 percent since he took over the shift. Robert is also a bit shy, so he avoids any kind of social interaction such as the holiday party.

While Robert wants to be promoted in the organization, he knows he lacks some of the skills needed to do the job, such as the ability to put together budgets. Because of this, he has identified two courses he would like to take to improve his financial skills.

Robert was recently asked to review the operational processes during his shift and excelled at it. In fact, because of the shifts’ awareness, Robert motivated his staff to change some of the procedures to be more cost effective. Since Robert would like a promotion, he knows he should assess his strengths and weaknesses.

1. Consider each of the following topics discussed in this chapter and discuss Robert’s strengths and weaknesses in each of the following areas (making reasonable assumptions is fine). Then create a plan addressing what Robert can do to improve in each area:
a. Power positioning
b. Planning, action, and attitude
c. Etiquette
d. Personality characteristics
e. Mentoring
f. Continual learning

2. Once you complete some ideas for Robert, think about your strengths and weaknesses in each area. Make a plan on how you can improve on each point

Frankin' gag me with a spoon. The last chapter in our textbook went into things on how to dress for work, the appropriate type of handshake (firm but not firm and only one hand, don't use both hands), how to greet people, how to position your eating utensils after a business lunch (knife and fork placed on the plate crossed over to indicate that you're done).

WTF?

So they are teaching you how to be a hand shaker. Yeah, like that has any value. Also they could teach better. Utensils on the main plate at 5 pm signify finished.

Never ever ever confuse lose and loose. They're not the same word.

Yep, you all know English is not my strength. Though I do take pride in often being asked what my primary language is.

Not history guy by any means but I walked past the Alamo a few months ago and it was way smaller than I expected. Would have toured it but there was a lot of construction going on there.

Can you send me a link?

I bought a good jacket from Sierra Trading....

I pizzed on Plymouth Rock back in the late 70's...alcohol was a contributing factor...

Did a class trip to Boston a lifetime ago. Saw the Rock, Old Ironsides, Salem Witch Museum and some stuff I don't recall currently. It was 7th grade and the kind of trip that leads you to believe the whole area is just one big museum

Seen all that stuff when we lived in Needham (sp)? 7/8 years old. Also The house of seven gables? Thought it was all pretty cool. Able to see lots of things on weekends, unlike Texas where everything is so far away

spelled correctly.

Is there a contract involved? I prolly could suffer out a year in the UP for $300k

Other than the New Englander speech impediment, you don’t check enough boxes.
Thank you for applying with us!
