A manager should know you need to meet in person to get a full feel for the person. Also moldy works with morons, so they probably don’t do technology.

I frequently walk to work. Then it’s only a mile and a half.

If I run as fast as FT did after that train I could make the trek in about, oh, three hours.

I said if I ran as fast as Tritty.

The only in person interview I did for my company was in 2014 and that wasn't really an interview, it was a get to know the PM I'd be working for. I have never interviewed anyone in person since I've been a manager for our company. Usually the only people who have in person interviews are for Directors and above. Even when I became the Program Manager of a multi-million dollar contract, I didn't have an in person interview. Actually, I had no interview since technically I was already doing the job without the title.

That would probably turn off potential employees too.

I'm great running at short distances.

I wish I was able to run 10Ks like I did in the Navy, but those days are long gone thanks to my gut and the knee issues caused by running them in the military.

My wife and I went to the PX for lunch. It's nice getting out of the building for lunch every once in a while.

But do you still have your own hips? That’s the truest way to tell if you’re a borderline invalid.

Do they have other tasks they should be working on?

I'll probably need knee replacements sometime in the next 10 years. My hips should be good.
