Yes. Wouldn't be fair to Mitchell to not award him service time.

I had friends who played soccer in high school. I ran cross country, and football players did not get along with neither of us. So I guess "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" situation. My first taste of watching the sport was the 1986 WC. I had to take a job in rural Wisconsin for a couple of years and the vibe I got was "only football and basketball players are athletes". I can understand if your school didn't have a team and none of your friends played soccer, as well as other niche sports. I missed large parts of the '10 and '11 World Cups because good luck finding a bar that will put the games on. So I tip my hat to you for being willing to try something new.

I think it was 1998 MJS published a cartoon stating so, after the Rampage then Wave won their leagues within the previous twelve months.

Nice recovery by the Americans last night (today) to earn the draw. However, that result means they didn't clinch advancement and a loss to POR on Tuesday means elimination.

With regards to the NU situation, I think back to Penn State where I thought they would be performing at an 1-AA level for several years, only to rebound quickly.

The tenth President, John Tyler, has a living grandson.

Cultural insight: "Lost in the Pond" is a British ex-pat and recently naturalized American citizen. "Feli from Germany" is a German woman living in Cincinnati. "The Beesleys" explore British-American differences. Nerdy stuff: "Geography King" provides quirky geographical facts/oddities, state/city analysis and road trip highlights.

I've been to Spring Training. The Arizona air is dry. Therefore, 60 degrees really feels like 50. I was wearing a windbreaker with the temps in the upper 70's.

A follow up on my post from the 2020 thread: "I just discovered a part of the City of Milwaukee proper extends past 124th Street into Waukesha County. Less than one square mile and no one resides there. On edit: ditto for Washington County." with this: Why parts of city of Milwaukee are in Waukesha, Washington counties (jsonline.com)

Last weekend I watched "A Man Called Otto". Is this going to be me in eleven years?

I'm on a nine-month contract-to-hire. I have a pretty good feeling they will keep me on when the contract is up. However, this means no benefits (PTO, holiday pay, insurance, etc.). It's starting to become a bit frustrating when everyone else is hired directly and using their benefits. I am off all week, so that means my 6 January paycheck will be a fat $0.00. So my question is, if I file for UE, is it on the agency, would they pass it along, and would it tick off the company I am at? Or shall I suck it up and stay on everyone's good graces?

Any recs in the Eau Claire area? I'm too lazy to go through 18 pages of posts. A friend's daughter suggested Sammy's. Ditto on Classic Slice. Ate there this past Friday for the first time in 10+ years (after a brewerfan.net softball game) and better than remembered.

If they avoid relegation.

Well, I just finished my first week at my new place. Got it through the agency/recruiter that placed me last time. Nailed with one interview, a Teams meeting from my brother's apartment in JAX. It was nice to take a 13-day road trip, see my brother, attend a Brewers game in Tampa and have a job waiting for me when I came back.

zurch - thank you for the advice. I can only read the second link. I'll have to wait until I'm done working this gig. to go out and make the rounds. The thing is, many places no longer have a receptionist. I'm not doing anything differently than in year's past, and I had always gotten a 75% success rate. I'm in a niche field and its always been hard to find people in my profession. My current place only interviewed two others beside myself and went with someone else.

OK, so I need to pick some brains here. In the last 21 days I have applied to about 24 openings, all in my field, all within 40 minutes of home. The most I've seen at any time. I figured there would be a few, but not this many. So then why only four call backs? Only thing I can think of is people are taking advantage of the current situation to job hop and get a solid raise. Nowadays, it's the only way. How many of the same people am I competing against for these jobs?
