OT: Cole & Honour's House of Fashion: Please take your loafers off at the door

[Honour Over Glory]

Yeah, she reallllly hates driving at night now, not that she was ever very keen on it to begin with.

That's like my gf.

"Babe, I can drive if you're tired."
"Ok, I'll pull over."
"No no, it's ok you're driving now."

FAKE PLATITUDES.

I'm just happy to see Jack Johnson finally out there doing what nature intended for him.

I've got water up my nose now, thanks for that

Man, I love night driving. I guess it's just years of having to drive from Chicago to PA after my sister got off 2nd shift.

The lonelier the highway, the better IMO.

SLICIN' UP EYEBALLS AHHH HA HA HA!

I got both levels of that reference.

Nothing beats that 1-3am window with some synthwave music

Synthwave is good, but it can be anything really. I just like how you get into the zone on a drive, especially in the middle of nowhere.

Canceled my trip to Denver. Didn't want to get sick out there and then stranded.

I'll be doing some vacation type stuff in the Burgh. Tomorrow I'm getting a massage, will then go get breakfast, and will then hit up a brewery for some samples.

Friday I plan on walking from my house in Morningside all the way to the border of Lawrenceville and the Strip District. I'll be stopping at a few shops along the way, obviously.

 

[HandshakeLine]

City walks are awesome. I approve of your plan, Randy.

Probably too far to walk from where you’re coming from, but if you’re gonna be in the Strip, there’s a cool bar in the north shore called Federal Galley. It’s basically the same thing as Smallman Galley, but they have outdoor seating. The happy hour is great, half off craft beers. I haven’t been there since COVID so I’m not sure if anything has changed, but that was one of my go to spots before everything shut down.

I'll be doing some downtown and north side walks on the weekend. And I think I'll be doing South Side on Monday.

Thursday: East Liberty and surrounding areas
Friday: Lawrenceville and surrounding areas
Saturday/Sunday: downtown and north side
Monday: South Side?

I'd like to get Squirrel Hill in there at some point.

@ColePens looks like you just missed the steak burger!

 

[ColePens]

@That1Kid - my buddy sent me that this morning. I WAS JUST THERE ON SATURDAY! Now i have to go back. I legit asked "Hey.. what happened to the steakburger? It was awesome." And she had no clue.

I do know ground meat has been f***ing weird lately. It's tough to get really solid ground meat. Butterjoint just sent a message about takeout being available (not just the make at home kits)>

IT'S BURGER TIME!

What kind of wanker wears a thumb ring?

I bet that bloke also does yelp reviews everywhere they go including public washrooms.

Question for the HR folks that post on HF, I think @Gurglesons is in this category. I applied for a position in DC that I didn't meet the years of experience and educational requirements for (wanted a PhD with 5 years of experience, I'm at a Master's with 3 years of experience), but I did hear back from them and had an interview with someone from their hiring department. They mentioned a few times in the interview that I didn't hit the educational requirements, but they were impressed because my work experience was extremely related to what they wanted. I confidently said I was a 8 or 9 out of 10 on the somewhat niche software that they were looking for experience with for the position, which is a true statement. They mentioned they would submit my "scorecard" to the hiring manager and the hiring manager would decide if they wanted to go forward with an interview.

My question is this, will the hiring manager actually care whether I have a PhD and 5 years of work experience or not, or is that just a HR hurdle that I've already gone through? The hiring person I talked to also told me to apply to other positions I may see that I like, which makes me think he really likes my resume but doesn't think I'm qualified for this position, but that may be me reading too much into this.

Is it government or union?

 

[Empoleon8771]

Not government. They do stuff on government contracts, but it's a small start up nuclear company that they're trying to emphasize has a "entrepreneur" feel.

Shouldn’t have any effect. If it was union or government they may be required to satisfy certain requirements, but they could probably hire me if they wanted to.

That being said, I imagine you aren’t the recruiters number one pick if they are prefacing it like that.

Yeah I can believe this, but my thought is that if I'm even getting to the HR interview, the lack of experience isn't problematic enough to prevent me from getting further interviews. But we'll see.

It would be weird to select me for an HR interview only to tell the hiring manager "this guy is good, but he doesn't have the years of experience". I feel like it's HR's job to weed out the people without the years of experience at that point

It’s also HR’s job to provide a list of candidates that are unique so they might just be using you for that

I'm a 24 year old white guy, I don't think I'm very unique

More so as you put it. You’re education doesn’t fit the requirements but is a young professional we could grow with in the org or some other recruiter BS.

Why do I feel like you never age? I swear you are lying at this point.
