  2. Hawaii vacation suggestions

    in The Aud Club

    Posted

    I went 25 years ago on my first honeymoon so no help on specifics like hotels, etc., but I thought the Big Island was very cool.  Wild variation in climates to explore on the one island, active volcano, black sand beaches, small enough to drive around in one day or spend a few days doing it.  

    Only spent two days on Oahu which was more than enough.  Honolulu is just another big city that happens to be on a beach;  Pearl Harbor was the only memorable thing there.  Not recommended.

    Maui was beautiful, stayed at some resort near Lahaina.  A lot to see there or just hang on the beach.

     

    If you come to SF, plan to spend a day doing something like hiking the Marin Headlands.  So much awesome natural beauty here to enjoy.   Wine country is an hour away but save that for a trip without the kids.

    I'll be there and tailgating early. Tonight will be a right of passage for my son. He was only a baby himself during the great horde invasion of 2006. Today will be his right of passage. At 14 years of age I feel that he is now fully ready and prepared to learn about the intricacies of neonatal BBQ.

     

    I'm in section 112.  

    Good thing he wasn't eaten in the chaos!

    That Game 7 tailgate was certainly memorable.

  4. Post job interview etiquette

    No one makes hiring decisions based on a thank you note (or lack thereof).  Anyone who would is not someone you'd want to work for anyway.  Many, many things can happen between a good interview and an offer (or not).   

    -They might have found someone they liked better but are keeping you on the string until they close him.
    -They might have done a final 2019 budget review and realized they needed to shave a couple jobs out of the budget.
    -As they got closer to making an offer, they might have reviewed the role more closely and revised the job requirements.  

    I've seen all those things happen many, many times.   And sometimes everything is fine, and the key people just got distracted/delayed, or haven't been able to connect in person to make a final group decision.  That happens a lot, especially at year end with lots going on both at work and at home.  So hang tight and wait for them to make the next call.  Showing eagerness is fine, but going overboard is not.

    I'm enrolled in a clinical trial that won't let me wear my contacts for close to two months. Glasses suck.

     

    Wait till you get a little older....i've had to give up the contacts almost entirely. It got so I couldn't read a menu in a restaurant without taking them out.

    Brown Shugga is memorialized at my home. 10% of pure morals breakdown....

     

    Lil Sumpin Wild is really good too and not too expensive compared to their others.

     

    I've tried them both for the first time recently and agree. I especially like the Brown Shugga, but a couple of those and you feel it! I need to keep it to one on weeknights.

    The family left for spring break, but I've got things I can't leave at work right now so I am a bachelor for the next 10 days. With no kids at home, I went for an extra, extra long work out. Now I am too tired to cook, and eating blueberries and almonds for dinner.

     

    Did you call the escort yet?
