Anyone remember the longest post ever?

Anyone remember the longest post ever?

Well I'll be, if it isn't mrs pianoman.

You won that one: """hahaha Noface that's one way to tell us! She sounds great and I'm so happy you found someone who is so much who you wanted! I remember the whole "finding someonw who's right for you" thing was hard for you before so I'm glad you're happy :) """

But you probably knew that already and just wanted to brag. :P

It sounds silly.

Like. I'd have a different imagine in my head and maybe I'd stop going through this state where I keep remembering the bad thing. If that makes sense. I dunno how to break it.

Would a different situation in which his hands partake, rather than a physical alteration, affect the mental image in any way?
Such as goofing off or some other humourous pose.

would u take a job that's a bit higher pressure and 30-45 minutes away for 80 dollars more a week?

I'd start by taking a mathematical approach.
Assume a base wage of $13 and 40h/w (5 workdays). Start with a simple base case - another 1hr drive per workday, which I'm simply counting as equal to work (theoretically taking a part time job at the same rate). Overlook for simplification the extra transportation cost, occasional terrible traffic jams, risks of driving and possible benefits of walking (or detriments, depending on how heavy traffic is in your residential area).

Weekly wage: 520 | 600.
Hourly wage including travel: 13 | 13.33.
Gross yearly wage: 27040 | 31200.
Net yearly wage: 23357 | 26700.
Net hourly wage including travel: 11.23 | 11.41.

So the extra $2 just cover expenses.
The more important factor is whether you're satisfied with the current status, including but not limited to the wage, and knowing your alternatives. You could ask for a quarter dollar increase (note that you should always ask for more and negotiate down), they might oblige or refuse but if you're all burnt out it won't matter.

Commission is another wild card depending on the product and personal salesmanship skill, which might be sold in exchange for integrity & stress, whose values are inconsistent.

Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate.

I don't think I'd appreciate having a boss like that. Some issues would be better off solved than dismissed, and when it comes to other people's issues there's the unknown factor of what it means to them. One of my erstwhile bosses did exhibit a very similar attitude, but also a great deal of humour and empathy, and that's what made him popular around the office.

I believe the overalls trend ought to have died with the 90s, at least.

So back to the implementation-
Do we want polls to be editable, or is it best to lock them in once theyโ€™re set to avoid changing options?
If goals are editable- do we want options editable as well?

It's a feature like any other (as a separate entity from static poll). When available and known, someone will find a use for it. The big caveat of front page time might be opposed to an extent by notification & invitation. Definitely has a low benefit to investment ratio, nevertheless.

I was gonna vote helpbot is depressed, but they made it seem like a binary choice. Then I found out someone had already voted the same and wanted to change to helpbot is depressed, yet was informed that would introduce statistical bias.
Ultimately, helpbot doesn't get the love helpbot deserves cus nobody thinks about helpbot's welfare first.

Well, from the user perspective, I concur regarding the anonymity - only the db knows who voted what, and provides counts to voters. As for the static vote, if we take the practical example of, say, a feature list - once you've added a new suggestion, potentially everyone might prefer this one, now that it's been brought up; when a feature is complete, those who have voted on it may opt for their second preference.
Why do you consider fuzzy matching to complicate things for the user? Isn't it exactly the same as writing the poll out in the first place? As far as reliability, yeah, but that's about the most you can get without making or enforcing structure assumptions, as far as I see.
If the op wants a reliable kind of poll for statistics or whatnot, I think a separate static poll [spoll], such as the kind we have now, would be the more suitable tool (with an "other - reply") option.
I wouldn't reset the poll implicitly, after the (front page) time spent to collect votes.
