PikesPeak

Picture this: someone’s company has gone through restructuring and instead of following the succession plan in HR that your boss had put in place, they just pull another director over to perform double duty over your department and their original one. You’ve been there 5 years, been enrolled in leadership training, and told you were next up for Director. You’re still employed, the paycheck still clears, but you’ve now been told “hey, you’re not moving up here”.

I don’t think there’s any problem with letting others know you’d be open to a conversation about progressing your career outside of your current org

WE HAVE TO BE A FRIEND TO A CERTAIN STRATEGICALLY SIGNIFICANT COUNTRY IN THE MIDDLE EAST

I mean….are you gonna tell us what they are?? I want to have a startup that’s approved by the prince of darkness!

I’m not going to give you a lecture on the Suez Crisis in 1956 or the Six Days War in 1967. You can do your own reading and come up with your own conclusions if you really give a shite about learning or listening to other opinions.

But there’s two examples right off the top of my head where, while not “technically” starting a war, they absolutely escalated to a shooting war instances where even teenage-level diplomatic efforts could have changed the outcome.

But I’m not a historian. I just work construction, like to read, and don't blindly say Israel never does anything wrong.

Technically? None
Practically? A lot

Antisemitism is the new “you’re racist”.

It’s completely lost its value because they spend so much time screaming about it

I’m ready to enter the crusade v2.0 era

Will forever be my favorite airframe. Looks excellent!

Outdoor - 4 hours
Indoor - over the course of the weekend after Thanksgiving

Working in the field. Being around massive top out cranes, D8s pushing earth, 30-truck foundation pours across hundreds, thousands of acres. Climbing 400ft and just ripping cigs with the boys while we were winded out.

Best job I ever had
