TET: May - Mexico, Mothers, Memorials

[Pax Nerdvana]

Knowing Ethel, he probably is capable of finding more than one Greek restaurant in New York without having to look at his smartphone even once.

Most of the diners here are Greek owned, and there is a decent place up the block.

Ethel did know after all.

[Ethel mermania]

More than that.

The Swedes were consensus management. All the stakeholders had to agree before anything got done, even the guy who washed the floor of the lab to had agree.

The Germans were hierarchical top down management. The boss said, you did.

Yet the Swedes are known to get things done as well.

It was very interesting, once consensus was achieved they moved faster than any other company I have worked for, including brokerage houses. Also the internal pressure to conform was enormous, folks really didn't want to be the one holding up the project unless they had a very good reason for doing so.

Can I not work there? I don't like being under pressure.

[The Holy Therns]

I passed out twice on my way home from hanging out with Blaat.

It was a lovely night!

As far as you can remember, that is.

I can remember it pretty well.

There are many paths towards efficiency, the Swedish one certainly does seem to have its merits.

No. You will apply for a Swedish work visa or no dessert, young man.

Then don't do real estate, work for a bank or brokerage house. Lots of other jobs though. What do you think you want for a career?

[Hurdergaryp]

No. You will apply for a Swedish work visa or no dessert, young man.

He will also have to decide if Gothenburg death metal or Stockholm death metal is his favorite branch of Swedish death metal. This is not optional.

Yes. It is.

I have no clue. Maybe something that involves minimal math.

I listen to a tiny bit of Metallica. Does that count?

Måns Zelmerlöw

This is mandatory.

[Gallade]

Måns Zelmerlöw

This is mandatory.

I see he's gotten increasingly pants-shy.

For once, full support.

[Pax Nerdvana]

Måns Zelmerlöw

This is mandatory.

What is it?

[Farnhamia]

This is mandatory.

What is it?

Google, please. What is it with people around here, you post something they haven't heard of and instead of just looking it up, they go, "Uhhh ... what's that?" Sheesh. *squints* Are you standing my lawn?

It's not Swedish. Nor death metal. It's Los Angeles-American thrash metal.

Yes

Aww...

No. I am hovering about one foot above it.

[Hurdergaryp]

Random girl I've never really talked to:
When I walk into class:
Her: "Oh it's my best friend hiii new best friend!"
Me: Looks around
Her: ¨No you, hiiiii!¨
Me: "Umm....hi."

Your people skills truly are uncanny.

[Hurdergaryp]

Your people skills truly are uncanny.

Thank you, now can you get me some ice for the burn?
...The fake burn of course, everyone knows Iḿ a social genius, ha...ha...ha...

I should have elaborated, it seems. Your people skills are apparently so uncanny, they are even in full effect when you yourself are not aware of them. Sometimes it's a blessing, other times it's just baffling.

[The Archregimancy]

I knew it! USS Monitor has the fountain! Sheesh, no wonder they said the Mod team is immortal.

I'll probably get yoinked from here from revealing too much, aren't I?

Only Arch. None of the others are, though not everyone with the Gift reveals themself. Anyway, it goes back to this thread, viewtopic.php?f=20&t=77046, and kind of developed from there. The generally accepted Long-Lifes here are me, Arch, Gallo, Nana, Ifreann, and Riso. Monitor is a special case, being the reincarnated spirit of a warship. Not all of us are equally old. I'm older that all but Arch, who is a little cagey about his age. I've seen him claim 40,000 but no one is that old that I know of.

Well, you sort of lose track after the first 20,000 years or so.

In those days, in those distant days, in those nights, in those remote nights, in those years, in those distant years; in days of yore, when the necessary things had been brought into manifest existence, in days of yore, when the necessary things had been for the first time properly cared for, when bread had been tasted for the first time in the shrines of the Land, when the ovens of the Land had been made to work, when the heavens had been separated from the earth, when the earth had been delimited from the heavens, when the fame of mankind had been established...

Certainly I was a really wild man for the first few millenia until Shamhat calmed me down.

Sometimes I miss her (she really was luscious); other times I still get angry with her over this whole civilisation nonsense.

Hey hey, you simmer down. We don't all have your record keeping skills. It is not our fault we flunked Scroll Managing 101.
