    I'm either a great manager, or a horrible one

    My ideal hire has the following qualities. Works well under pressure. You need to fix an issue in a matter of minutes, and you have people screaming at you asking why it didn'twork and when it will be fixed. You need to stay focused. If it's a major outage globally, can you lead a...

    I'm either a great manager, or a horrible one

    I manage a team of 4 people, including myself. Typically, I only allow one person out at a time. Seeing as how I expect tomorrow (the friday after Thanksgiving) to be slow, I allowed two of reports to take the day off. I asked them to put it in our group calendar. My third report is a...

    What would you do with the 8 spare rooms in your new mansion?

    Is there a limit to the # of job boards and recruiters you should sign up with?

    This is true. Recruiters shouldnt submit your resume to a company without your permission. Keep track of where your resume has gone, and if another recruiter has submitted to a company on your behalf already, do not let any other recruiter send another copy. Most recruiters know this...

    Official 2010-2011 NBA Playoffs Thread

    I'm curious what other NBA players think of the Heat. If they're put off by how the Heat superstars act, Riley might have trouble convincing championship quality role players to fill out the bench.

    General Obligation bonds and revenue bonds are backed by two different things. G.O. bonds are basically backed by the issuer's credit. Basically, the issuer is just promising to repay you. Revenue bonds are usually used for some sort of project, and the income from that project will determine...

    When you board a plane, do you like to get on ASAP or wait?

    i'll wait. when i take a flight, its usually of the 14 hour overseas variety. not in a rush to get in my tiny seat. not so worried about overhead luggage space. i just check most my stuff. i figure its going to take me time to get through immigration on the other side anyways.

    Uh Oh the feature creep has started. uTorrent 2.2

    I keep the setup/install files of all the apps I use. If I'm happy with the way they work, I'm installing that same version on every PC I get. Once in a while I'll try the latest version, but if I don't like it, back to version 1.2 for me.

    Do you like Lobster or Crab meat?

    Not a fan of crab because the meat is harder to get to. Takes a lot of work to get a mouthful. Lobster meat is easier to get to, and accessible in bigger chunks.

    Why does my credit card limit keep reducing??

    My CC limits have gone up. But probably because I'm 'profitable'. I spend a lot overseas and my issuer gets all those foreign transaction fees.
