So true. I do a bit of teaching and kids have recently lost all computer skills I thought was basic.
"Where's my work gone?"
"Where did you save it?"
"What do you mean?"
"At the end of last lesson, show me exactly what you did"
"I clicked the X here, then clicked ok"
He clicked OK to the "do you want to close this document without saving?" box. He is 19. I had to give a really detailed lesson on how to save something to not only him, but half the students I taught this year.
Parents used to teach, if you read in the dark (on paper, not on a screen, I must add), you’re ruining your eyes. But if you think about it: wtf does low light do to your eyes? By that logic, you’re constantly ruining your eyes while sleeping.
The theory is that frequently straining your eyes is an issue, so reading in conditions that are difficult to see in will weaken them, not that dark itself hurts your eyes.
While I agree cheap chocolate is rough, some store brand chocolate is really nice.
Smokers getting better chances at promotion because they smoked with the bosses was standard when I started working.
I'm interested what kind of franchise you ran, so like was it a big national chain? Or a small thing with a few locations? I wonder whether either is better.
Oh no, absolutely, it's a flying visit for sure. I enjoyed my cruise experience because we went to a bunch of places I'd probably never go by myself, I got a snapshot experience of a bunch of coastal towns.
I worked on a Royal Carribean ship once. It was cool, I worked late so got off every day at dock and got public transport to the nearest town then had a walk round or visited a small free museum then I had a nice meal and a beer before going back to work.
For the ship I was on it mostly stayed in port for the full day, return times were like 4 or 5, for me getting off is important, but for many people on the ship (which it sounds like this guy hung around with) the ship IS the destination and they spend all day in the pool, in the restaurants, it sounded mind numbing to me! I think those people are quite culty, a lot of them are on their 100th+ cruise and if you do talk to them they only really talk about cruises. We were docked at a port next to another Royal ship once and this couple were telling me that they were on that one the week after for a full atlantic cruise which doesn't dock at all, then onto the carribean after, I have no idea if they had a home.
I will say though, American cruisers are a different breed to European, they wear customised shirts and decorate their doors, we don't do that here, or didn't when I was there.
Haha, not for me but for many people yes.
The general plan on a cruise is that the ship docks fairly early and you get off to do the culture and food things, then you have a time to be back, so really you're only on the ship for evenings and sleeping. You do get occasional 'at sea' days where you don't dock, but it's unusual for that to be a decent proportion of your trip.
If it was me I'd prefer the best photo from my life.
You've wrongly linked the behaviour with an action. Beagles yell regardless of what you do if you're not paying them attention.
I think you've misunderstood the comment you replied to. You're agreeing.
