Can Belves be given the Curse of the Worgen if bitten?

Those magic addicts would feed on the curse then complain that they can taste wet dog hair.

Always.

This involved giant Christmas displays.

Hey Vrak?

Have you seen Carnival Row? I keep seeing these great reviews for it, but I couldn’t make it through the first episode. It was just …boring.

Three years ago I helped cut and sew layers of glitter tulle for costumes. The work was not done at my home and I’ve moved since then, but I still find glitter now and then.

I looked like a sparkly vampire.

Those clothes are getting washed separate.

It sounds like every time my daughter gets a new princess dress. The whole house starts to glitter. My wife hates it, but I tell her just to image that everything is so clean, it’s sparkling!

Not at all interested. We’re already short-staffed and if I was put in charge, 25% would quit and I’d probably fire another 25%. Then the rest would quit. I don’t have much patience for people not pulling their weight, even if (especially if) they’re higher up the food chain than I.

I’m much more comfortable being the right hand. I’d rather take on the back-office responsibilities and let her be the people person; she’s better at it.

An example of the logic and support we get from above: Home office sends us an asst. manager to train before sending him to the store they actually want him at. They guy doesn’t have a car, and lives within walking distance of our store. We’d love to keep him, but home office is sending him to another store 20 miles away.

I’m beginning to wonder if the Unusual Compass is still a rare drop. I’ve done the Dalaran fishing daily five or six times on an alt and have gotten three of them. If it’s just because I’m lucky I need to go run Tempest Keep, ICC and Stratholme.

At a laundry mat. In another county. A county in another state. Possibly Canada.

Gotta save face right?

Nuff said bud.

True story. Long before I ran a company for about a decade, I started on the sales floor. Was then promoted to store manager of 2 stores. The sales in those stores skyrocketted, and the shrink plummetted.

There was a regional manager that claimed workers comp for stress from the job. AND WON. Only in California could you do that right? Anyway, he promoted a manager of a busy store to acting Regional, and put me in charge of the 4 stores in the area. He wanted me to keep tabs on my regular stores as well, but wanted my presence in these 4 stores.

Unknown to me, him and the new regional spread my reputation of not taking anything from my employees. That I was understanding but firm. And that I was not afraid to do the work myself. The also floated that my shrink went from a rather decent number to next to nothing, and that I was an expert at sniffing out theft. I was.

Two employees quit before I showed up on my first day. 3 more within the week. They were all, to the number, scared of me, even though they barely knew me. My old stores continued to perform, and these stores went crazy as well. So yeah, I get it. Anyway, worked my way up to Regional Manager. My office at the corporate office had a name plate that in essence said Mr Fix it. They gave me all the broken stores. If I could not turn them around within 6 months, they were closed. Deemed not fixable. Only happened 2 times. Mr Fix it is not what the tag actually said. I can’t say what it said on the forums haha.

Yup sounds about right. Hey I don’t have to worry about it. Pretty much their thinking.

Bug guy was at work today and sent pictures to corporate and our administrator screaming he can’t do his job if we can’t do ours. Blah blah administrator comes to my boss. My boss walks in with her and shows her, and says seeing with your own eyes do those look like the pictures you got or is he maybe perhaps using old pics, well before maintenance did the work requested (floorboards, trim, etc) Yeah our administrator was NOT happy with the guy. Don’t think he will be back lol

I could see how I should have put that line…Possibly Canada on another line haha. Was implying not even another state, but another country =)

I know. I just have a terrible sense of humor; I enjoy deliberately misinterpreting comments. Just ask Jodariel how awful it is.

They’re absolutely terrible, but super nice when you turn their humor against them.

In other news, I have a hankering for chicken salad.
