I was written up for being too pessimistic. It was about 8 years ago, I was a project manager at a small retail company. I was in a small meeting with my boss and the owner of the company. I was telling the owner all the possible risks associated with this new project I was given, the major one being that we didn't have enough time to complete everything by the owner imposed deadline. Calling out risks is literally one of the main responsibilities of being a project manager. Also the meeting went fine, no one got upset, it seemed everyone understood. A few days later I get called into HRs office with a write up for basically being a Debbie Downer. I was told to be more positive with my updates and stay away from any bad news. I was in total shock! A few days later I put my notice in and found a new job making twice as much. So it all worked out in the end. Thanks for the motivation Todd!

Yeah I've run into that issue before a few times on a few different work machines. I haven't had it happen for awhile now that I think about it. At least two years.

I used MS OneNote for work going on about 8 years now and it's been fine. I've tried others in the past and have always come back to OneNote.

Could it be poking fun of Thomas Jefferson as he was a red head and the snake's name is Ginger? The comic is from 1982. How long has Ginger been a term for red heads?

The problem with all these conspiracy nuts is that they can never answer one simple question. Why the theatrics? If what you say is true it would be incredibly expensive, require vast amounts of resources, and strict compliance like nothing the world has seen before. If this is all about "controlling us", and the deep state/shadow government is as powerful as they claim whats with the theater? Wouldn't it be easier, faster, and cheaper to just send in the Shadow government military forces to drag us all into the streets and say comply or die?

Where she really excels is her live performances. We took my kids to the movie on her latest tour and it was really amazing. The spectacle certainly elevated the music. I know it was a movie edited for a theater experience but props to her for putting on a 3hr plus show night after night, not really missing a beat at any of them, and doing it with a smile for her fans. Also I can't imagine the overwhelming effort required by everyone involved each night to make that show run smoothly. Truly professionals on all fronts in that regard and it's cool to see it all working.

I must add that I can't stand anything Taylor anymore. My wife and kids have her music on constantly and they've talked about her non stop since my wife went to the concert over the summer. It's been months of nothing but Taylor every minute of every day and I'm going insane.

They won't debate you but they will tell you that "God has a plan for you" or something like that. Even if that plan is living a super short life and dying and agonizing death.

Yep, all parents in Massachusetts are awful because of these two little shit head kids.
