I couldn't sell weed to a pothead but once I took a sales job and realized very quickly that it was a criminal boiler shop out to steal life savings from pensioners. Not only couldn't I do that I wouldn't want to. I don't remember if I called in to say this isn't a fit or just didn't show. Another time I was formally hired with all the paperwork to a high position during a severe recession. The interview process was like central casting for a company and job you'd have to be insane to take The three people that interviewed me were all leaving shortly. But I figured what the heck, this new job title is impressive. Gave it a week and it was even worse than the red flags suggested. So I basically fired myself and they were not at all surprised. I even asked them not to pay me for the week but I don't remember if they did or not. Not featured on my resume!

Don't be a rotter. Get your third shotter.

Maybe you're from a country where laws make it hard to fire people?

Coda. If you don't tear up you're dead inside.

Yes. It's for people that MUST come here and masochists.

Don Pepes is advertising daily testing of staff.

Bull. Bali is different and not all Americans are as stupid as you imply.

I think 1500 is the lower end of upper middle class outside wealth islands like parts of Mexico City, Monterrey, etc.

Sought is correct. I think they probably meant San Jose Costa Rica not Dominican Republic. Bora Bora is popular for honeymoons.

Those are restaurants.

Jingthing has taught me enough about Thai Culture to fill a book. I love your post and as you might know I'm very interested in Mexico and also Colombia. However, are you certain that you aren't confusing me with someone else? I consider that I know diddly squat about Thai culture. It doesn't particularly interest me. Unless you're counting knowledge of Pattaya baht busses and tips and tricks for using Grab food delivery. I'm more of an expat bubble kind of "bad" expat. Anyway, welcome amigo. Have you checked out Queretaro or Aguascaliente? Outside of central Mexico, Mazatlan and Merida are on my radar. If the weather wasn't hell hot in Merida it would be near irrestible but alas if it had good weather it would be much more expensive.

Omicron's ease and speed of spreading is ridiculous.

Its not the same. People need to take off masks while eating.

I'm gonna pipe in with a sort of optimistic thought. Omicron is a game changer. It's almost impossible to avoid it. Not with masks, distancing, shutdowns, hand washing, or even current vaccines. Boosting is the best current tool but the boosting program is too slow and many will be infected at the boosting sites. HOWEVER, based on what's happening in some other countries it's at least possible that Thailand will have a huge wave of Omicron over the next 2 or 3 months, it will peak then decline and the end result might be the beginning of the endemic phase. Or not.

Memo to restaurants. We like you alright but we're just not that into you!

May as well shut them for indoor dining.

Not so strange. There are reporting requirements to the U.S that non.US banks must comply with for U.S. persons so many banks globally rationally avoid that by refusing U.S nationals.

They know politics.

So can we get an official statement on the future plan for the rockets, or is their no plan?

It's very common to be smarter than your boss. To stay employed you just have to suck it up and humor them.

One of my mass layoffs was particularly traumatic and as close as I came to being fired. That's because I knew my boss was on my case and also I was very closely bonded with my workmates. So the day of the big event where the big company was shedding about a third of its workforce I made it to the end of the day still not booted. Even had a black humor filled lunch with my coworkers. So my boss was going to have a meeting with the survivors and then he saw I was still there so he said everyone back to your cubes. Five minutes later the call of doom from a big big boss to have a visit. I guess that experience may have been even worse than an old fashioned YOU'RE FIRED.

Many of us here are retired. Typically these days it's rare to have had only one job. Business owners of course can't be fired. Although I had scads of jobs and short term contracts in my life I never had the pleasure of being told YOU'RE FIRED or indeed even shown the door with cause. How did I dodge this? I feel I've missed something. For me there have been: Resignations some with drama Companies going out of business Massive Layoffs / reduction in forces Contracts just ending when a project was completed Volunteering to be laid off to collect an exit package But never a YOU'RE FIRED. You?

It ain't rocket science forum dudes. These new rockets are bugly.
