HOPEFULLY someone else's..... But kind of an odd way to spend a day, life then death.....sorry to hear of the funeral

Happy Birthday!

Good luck to Adam, loved him as a player, and he got some nice remarks from Parise in regards to NJ......

Happy Birthday!!

Congrats on all accomplishments Adrian. And second the good wishes on a better feeling neck, Haj.....

Been there and past, Dinny. I loved the days when my sister would ask for help, but still try to impress me with her technical acumen: "I think my hard drive needs more RAM"

Yes, very nice table; how comfy is that chair, looks quite funky! Me: replaced my mother's computer, family tech guy strikes again. Now to see if her old one will take Windows 7.....

I still prefer general honesty; maybe just hold back on some facts (like the amount of years since using Java), but never oversell. Having been interviewing lots of people over the past weeks, I am constantly finding examples of falsely upgraded resumes with work they have little or no clue about when pressed. We went through the hassle/work to get a contractor in, and within a week knew he wouldn't work out. It was almost like a different person landed in our office compared to the one who interviewed. Definitely brush up on the latest, but IMO never oversell yourself without being confident you can do the work. Everyone will be happier in the end. Once established in a company, opportunities should come. And good luck!

Happy Birthday!

Had to all but give my my Father's Day for me and didn't get to see my dad; drove to NY and NJ for a wedding that was on Sunday. Was an incredible wedding, though, bride and groom both great looking and wonderful kids, and party was big $ but extremely tasteful. Not the best way to spend the day, buit it's great to be at such nice events.....

Congrats Dinny! Happy 8th and many many more!

Congrats on the close! How much work do you think you'll need to do in the 2 weeks?

Some good, father-son, father-son times there Al, congrats on the special times and great games to boot!

Deepak, he mentioned the Shure 1840'snot the 840's.....you've heard the 1840's? By your note "it's been a while since I have heard those" I thought you might mean the 840's. FWIW, I like the 600's better than the 840's, had both; but haven't heard the 1840's..... EDIT: beat me to it.......

Best wishes for your uncle, Dan. Indeed, positive thoughts!

Congrats on making it thru.....will those same lawyers now take you out for that drink?

Very Happy Birthday...s!

Great win by the Kings. Big congrats to the team and a bunch of great fans (from other boards, and personal accounts of visiting Boston fans). Couple real funny things for me as a Bruins fan: 1) Those ex-Flyers get the cup, and more funny: 2) Mike O'Connell gets to hold the cup before Joe Thornton [Mike was the GM who traded Thornton away] I think the saddest part though was that the TV ratings for this final series were so low....the NHL is SO high on marketing people like Crosby and Ovechkin, or maybe New York for viewership, that they let a great opportunity slide away. Two great American captains in the final, an American goalie winning the Cup and Conn-Smythe.....they had an excellent opportunity to market this to America but failed. Oh, well.....now on to the awards show and the draft.....

Dang, that's too effing cute! Gotta get a pic of my cat, he was a furry beast that - even with daily brushing - still got knots like dreadlocks. So he was shaved......looks like a lion now, with little kitty Ugg boots, a wild mane, and a little clump of fur at the end of his tail.....

What a great pic of your dad, Al, the smile says it all! Glad to hear he's so up and about, looking quite awesome at 90!

Truly sucks, give them hell and make them suffer. At my old company, I swear someone read the "Inhumane MBA Manual of Layoffs Without Costs" to get rid of some folks before they did some outsourcing. There seemed to be a minimum number of people that got a 2 (out of 5) on their annual reviews. A 2 means sub-par, and there's no bonus, no raise, and they are put on "plan" (from which they will never come off). A fair amount of folks left in dusgust, or got pushed out for not coming off plan. Later, they did a formal layoff with severance and transition plans, but for those early ones it was the most horrible treatment I've seen in my 25+ years in corporate life.....I can think of only one person who was possibly a level 2 for their review....

It certainly stains more than White Wine Audio.....

Happy Belated!!

(Yesterday) We grumbled in the a.m. as my son's soccer game was NOT cancelled despite continuing rain and forecasts of thunder-showers. Travelled 45 minutes to the lovely town of Manchester, MA. Watched the end of the previous game, realized it WASN'T raining so hard there and the field was turf. RIGHT at the end of their game, the rain came down REAL hard, torrential. With both teams on the field, totally soaked, the ref calls the game due to weather Ended up making the best of it, found a nice little diner for breakfast, drove over to the beach and watched the waves from inside the car, then went to a mall. Came home, watched Forrest Gump on DVR, and just made a simple and fun eve of it. Today: weather cleared up a bit, though rain may continue in spotty segments. We'll head up towards the NH seacoast, maybe check out Hampton Beach and the boardwalk area there....

Very Happy Birthday Miguel! Al, love the cake, Google is certainly YOUR friend
