Or.... it could be chalked up to, by 1864, Union army recruiters having to wait for Irish immigrant boats to show up, meeting said immigrants at the gangway and saying "Welcome to America, boys. Time to fight for your freedom" and shipping them down South. Pound for pound, the South kicked the crap out of the North in the war.I was going more high level with the "win at all costs" demeanor of Northerners compared to the more "go with the flow" demeanor of Southerners.
The old man's reaction after he plays the drum beat is hilarious to me.seconded
I was a Sr. Manager with Andersen Consulting/Accenture and was there for about 8 years. The one thing they could have done in Office Space to truly capture the gist of consulting...they should have added another consultant each day and at the end should've been about 8 consultants in the room with most of them looking like they're straight out of college.
In other words, the win at all costs mentality I previously referenced.Or.... it could be chalked up to, by 1864, Union army recruiters having to wait for Irish immigrant boats to show up, meeting said immigrants at the gangway and saying "Welcome to America, boys.

That's a cute consolation prize, maybe you should have gotten more pounds.Pound for pound, the South kicked the crap out of the North in the war.
I don't, I just know that you do for some reason.I don't see why you care though.
What gives you that impression?Your ancestors weren't even in this country yet.
You told me/us in a thread awhile back. I could be wrong, doe.What gives you that impression?

Family pride, homie. The Civil War fascinates me. You really can't go anywhere in the South without being on or near a battlefield.I don't, I just know that you do for some reason.

He wasn't too shabby with the undead either...Personally, I think it had more to do with Abe being a kick ass vampire hunter.

Are unexpected visits from you out of the Norm? Probably should give him a heads up.I'm going to go see him on Monday- his office is about 2 hours away and he has 2 other people working there.
Do I tell him beforehand that I am coming up to talk? Or just show up in the office?

Hedge and call him from the road, like 20 minutes before you're there. Then you can both warn him you're coming, but also avoid telling him why. "Hey, I'll be there in just a few minutes."Yes it would be out of the norm. However if I tell him I'm coming, he will want to know what's up
Excellent! That's awesome.that went about as well as I could have possibly hoped
Well, that's good for you I guess. Personally, I was hoping we would get to hear a story about him trying to stab you in the leg with a letter opener or something.that went about as well as I could have possibly hoped

Maybe that's what happened, but that was the best outcome that 71 could have hoped for...
Yeah but they were just being nice in his case. They couldn't get rid of that SOB quick enoughAnd much like RH's old managers, he told me I was a fool if I passed.
