Re: Off Topic 2015

Yeah, in most cases I'd never snitch to my supervisor about anything, but this guy is too much. Constantly trashing his old job, just complete "here only because they give you money every 2 weeks" attitude. After that post I sent, he made a comment that watching me do this was like watching paint dry, so yeah **** this dude.

Your manager will appreciate feedback (not snitching) regarding the employee he/she just hired and entrusted with your mentorship. This is why you were chosen.

You don't have to be damning, just point out observations.

Re: Off Topic 2015

I wouldn't want to be the guy to make the call (or contribute to it) on whether or not this person is given the job, but if you're falling asleep at a job you just started, you suck. Hit the bricks playa.

I wouldn't classify you going to your manager to give him/her feedback or an initial evaluation on this person as being "snitching". Trust me, if the manager was seeing what you are seeing firsthand, they would probably get rid of this person before the day was over.

Re: Off Topic 2015

Yesterday I saw stations talking about how the guy claiming responsibility for the attacks might have been from Canada cause he has an "Ontario accent"...

Today the news is that he's now dead, and he was from Belgium(and I'm guessing he never even visited Canada before in his life)

How exactly does on have an "Ontario accent"? "Eh" jokes aside, people from Ontario have accents? I read some other story awhile back that apparently people are starting to have more of a "California accent" cause of all the hollywood stuff they watch. Am I the only one not noticing any of this accent stuff

I ended up shooting him an e-mail.

Had another incident with him today. He's always been talking/whispering under his breath and I just figured he talked to himself...I do it all the time, whatever, but then today I'm about 99.9% positive I overheard him whispering "you're a peon, you're worth nothing here". I'm not completely sure, but he definitely said something and I don't know what else he possibly could have said that sounded like that. I'm honestly a little scared at this point lol

They grow up in Ontario and naturally develop the local speech patterns and sounds? Imagine that.

Anybody ever played the game Shut The Box?

I'm 27 and just saw this today...thing's been around for 200+ years. It looks so incredibly easy but fun!

Yes, my grandpa had it, and I played it non-stop as a kid when we visited. I found one that I'll be getting for my parents as sort of a nostalgic gift this Christmas. It's perfect to put on the bar my dad built at the house last year.

My sister's kids are all between 2-8 so I'm going to get it for them this Christmas too. I'm excited I can buy something fairly cheap that won't be upgraded to a new version for a chance.

I'm not sure if this quiz includes Canada or not (I'm guessing it doesn't), but basically, this shows that every region has its own accent (which is kinda common sense anyways, but it's a little freaky how specific they can get). This quiz perfectly pegged me down as having a Rochester, NY accent.

Re: Off Topic 2015

Which quiz?

[Majingir]

Re: Off Topic 2015

Which quiz?

I just googled some just to see for fun:

http://www.gotoquiz.com/results/what_american_accent_do_you_have

I got:

Your Result: The Midland
95%
"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

88%
The West

69%
Boston

66%
North Central

But I want to know which one 'Yeah...THAT Guy' did that got a specific location. Or does it only work for people in USA?

Took a Canadian specific one:

I got 79% Canadian.

Well you botched that one, because it's been very clear to us that you're 100% Canadian.
