Smile: Just won my fourth Best Table Topics ribbon in the company's Toastmasters club.

Now I am representing the club in an area Table Topics tournament. It's the first speech competition I've ever entered. And the club officers have begun suggesting that I compete for the Humorous Speech competition later this year.

When I was phone screening I split the difference; I was naked and pacing while I talked and I pet my cats whenever I got a cliché interview question.


You should have used Skype.

Smile - Completed phone interview for a job that is 180 of what mine is now and it went very well.

Ticked - Same money and I would be at the top of the pay grade. So if I take it, its a better company and closer to home for the same amount of money, but I would not be able to maintain the site like I do now - since I would not be on during the day as much since I would be on a telephone. It is a really tough call.

Big Smile - Tom Wham, one of my favorite boardgame designers, sells hand made versions of his none released games on his site.

Frown - Said hand made versions are at hand made prices. So $219 per title shipped.

It's great that you care so much for the site, but you should do what's good for your life. I'm sure there are some people here qualified and willing to help you out.

EDIT: You know, if you don't mind me butting in with unsolicited suggestions and all. :wink:

What are the .2% negative feedbacks?

Maybe he's just forgetful and left the disc in the console or something.

Good luck, hope it works out OK.

here it is, he sold 18 others so maybe he just didn't check them all? or maybe left it in the Wii U after he tested it. I sent him a polite message and I added a sad frowny face

I once had a disc missing when I bought a new/shrinkwrapped CD.

Sellers who have mass quantities of the same game always make me nervous.
