Along with some of the unusual but makes sense to our company:
- Yearly boot allowance
- Yearly coat/jacket allowance
Shouldn't that stuff be provided if it's required to do your job? (outside, steel toes for warehouse, etc)
Should be, but not in the US. Bring your own supplies to do the job is extremely common. Even to the point of requiring cars and computers. It's ridiculous.
Despite living within 20 miles of it and visiting often (albeit in my youth) I still find America to be a strange place regularly

@ivanatdell said in See what Chad Sakac is saying about recently announced ready nodes!:
@mattspeller, ready node is a server pre-configured and certified to run a specific solution ( vSAN, S2D, Scale-IO etc...)
Ok so it's a preinstalled software package on certain hardware configs
Got it now.
Is node just a new term for server? Why would this be a useful thing / terminology.
Need someone in charge of testing for beta blockers lol
Here's one I got a real chuckle out of - please post any you've also enjoyed below.
Subject: Dreaded “Japanese Hypnosis Syndrome”
Have you ever run into the dreaded "Japanese Hypnosis Syndrome"?
Here's what I mean:
While most of the major powers of Western Europe spent the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries racing around the world carving out empires for themselves...
Japan felt threatened by the influx of foreigners and ended up spending this period as one of the most reclusive nations on the planet.
In the 1630s, a series of proclamations closed the country's borders, marking the beginning of the period now known as sakoku ('locking the country') or sometimes kaikin ('sea-restriction').
Non-Japanese-citizens were not permitted on Japanese soil...
And potential violators were warned that they would be subject to capital punishment.
Only a small amount of trade with China, Korea, and the Netherlands was permitted, and the Dutch were restricted to Dejima, an artificial island in the harbor at Nagasaki.
Nor were Japanese citizens allowed to leave Japan.
Even the construction of long-range ships was illegal.
All those measures remained in place well into the 19th century.
Anyway, here's the point:
Sometimes when working with a hypnosis subject the "border" into parts of their unconscious mind will shut down on you.
And you will not be permitted entry.
Nor will you get any information coming out of those parts of their unconscious.
Their unconscious will metaphorically "cease trading" with you.
And that obviously scuppers any chance of you and their unconscious working together to produce transformational change in the subject.
It's why I call it "Japanese Hypnosis Syndrome".
Hardly any hypnotist has the "diplomatic tools" to re-open borders into the unconscious parts that have "locked down".
But you will.
And you will be able to consistently produce amazing feats of personal transformation in your subjects (even with those who have "Japanese Hypnosis Syndrome") when you activate this 30 Day Free Trial

Start with figuring out some numbers and goals for your new business and see if it's possible to do. Takes a lot of equipment sales to be sustainable these days, the huge margins of the 90's that supported that business model are long gone. Not trying to be a downer, just want to see you succeed!
