        Wasn't that kind of the point? It's assume to be Best Person of the Year, but in reality its most influential. Hard to argue Hilter's influence on the word stage in the late 1930s
        Hilter was arguable a contender the Person of the Century. Although they went with good guy Einstein as there's obviously a major positive bias.

I guess to a fault I'm expecting equality of treatment when we clearly aren't there yet.
              The same sex marriage referendum result was presented so as to celebrate Ireland's progressive views on equality. Which made it easy to overlook the fact that 38% of people voted against it. Not saying everyone who voted against it are homophobic, but a lot of people are. They are simply less open about it as the (large) minority.

              Like open relationships? Not sure what else you could mean.

                    Interesting work choice for the wife. Just got a decent pay increase to hit the very beginning of six figures in her stable job for a large finance company. Got that job after the startup she was working for was bought out. Now her boss, and founder of the startup, wants to hit the startup route again and wants her on board for a decent equity share but much less certain pay. Swap stability for risk and a potential payoff? I'm thinking - go for the risky route and keep the fingers crossed.

                          Rep brought me and a colleague out for dinner last night. Night went something like;

                          Bottle of sparkling wine

                          1.5kg Tomahawk, waygu hassleback potato with caviar sauce, amazing sauces, chips, green beans, even the salad was great.
                          Bottle of Cabernet Malbec with the steak

                          [cross road to Irish shebeen-esque bar]

                          Guinness and greenspot whiskey
                          moar Guinness
                          another whiskey
                          a Guinness…etc

                          a couple of smokes on the way home for no good reason.

                            Not sure about its sense of humour:

                            tell me a joke about a horse and a donkey

                            Why did the horse marry the donkey?

                            Because he loved the way she brayed!

                                If you asked anybody to guess your prompt for that image, they'd guess exactly that.

                                  In my experience the desire for people with start up experience is incredibly high.
                                  Given she has her PhD, she likely walks back into a similar job.
                                  I was asked to go back to the start up I left but wouldn’t be getting the equity share.
                                  Every recruiter I’ve chatted to has referenced the start up experience especially when the start up has some visibility.

                                  On a side note, we are now hiring another analyst to bring the team here to a total of 2.
                                  My first time being an interviewer, probably a novelty for the first few but I’m told the volume of applicants is incredible.

                                        Plus isn't the Wagner Group not just a middle-man, but a middle-army. The man is a big fan of outsourcing to corrupt partners, much to his detriment.

                                          Investors who took short positions in Tesla stock have made an $11.5 billion profit so far this year, according to Wall Street analytics firm S3 Partners, as Tesla shares lost about half their value. That’s a nearly 60% return on the $19.6 billion invested in short positions on Tesla this year.

                                                  Maybe. Its up in the air definitely. The only upside is that the boss is incredibly pro-family in every one of her actions in the past. Including when the start-up that was sold was in its start-up phase. Its definitely something to consider though. The doubt, on my side, would be that its probably not going to happen again otherwise as the wife will become too comfortable in her current steady job, and its a chance to be in with someone who has a proven track record, which won't always be the case. So there's that potential for a big payoff.

An admirable disregard for the 'minor' FIFA rule and the potentially more serious Qatari ban on all vaping products. I hope some Brazilian Strewelpeter doesn't grass him up.

Just got a decent pay increase to hit the very beginning of six figures in her stable job for a large finance company. Got that job after the startup she was working for was bought out. Now her boss, and founder of the startup, wants to hit the startup route again and wants her on board for a decent equity share but much less certain pay. Swap stability for risk and a potential payoff? I'm thinking - go for the risky route and keep the fingers crossed.
