@GetTranquilitas Super cool to see this go from anon dadnobody idea phase to actual product. But am I the only one who had been pronouncing this like margaritas “tranquil-ee-tahs” in my head!?
@PatCarino@DealNav “Congrats! Your inappropriate response has won free entry into our quarterly breakfast raffle.” You send box of pastries/coffee to the winner’s company with a vague congrats note w/ them mentioned. They should have fun coming up with an explanation.
@MikeCalcara Had a relatable experience recently. Wife and I were going back and forth about buying a new or used Pilot. We asked to see the new, salesman said “well you don’t want that anyway”. What?? We left and went to a different dealer and bought brand new a day later.
@RoryTyer Me to myself: there’s no way we can possibly eat all these bananas, berries, apples, and watermelon.
Me to myself wife two days later: hey can grab some fruit on the way home?
@jamesonhaslam My wife is a part owner of a small landscape supply business. They have about 20 employees. Company pays 100% premium. The downside is they often don’t recognize the value of it.
@CoffeeBlackMD I feel this. Increasing running volume has a paradoxical effect on weight gain for me. I house a lot more food. I have to think/track more diligently to stay at maintenance
@patcarino Our 3 year old went through this. Like a switch flipped, she went from perfect easy bedtimes to drawn out marathons. I wish I could say we found some bedtime hack, but it was really just time and patience. Couple months later, back to easy bedtimes again. It’s all temporary
@RoryTyer To me: move along and let them feel heard. I’m guessing you’d decline to quote future work for them, so seems like negative ROI to give them the full rundown.
@mwmoedinger I remember starting my first job out of college (for a very large engineering firm) and neither my phone nor computer was ready. I sat around all day twiddling my thumbs. It made me feel useless, unimportant, and bored - not a great start!
@mwmoedinger I feel like the basics go a long way here: being prepared for the first day with technology all ready/set up, HR process laid out, and maybe a casual lunch out with team members to get acquainted.
