Well it looks very possible I may be watching the final season for my team.
It's going to be rough few months.

Mornin' y'all. Busy couple of weeks of travel for me, but finally home last night and heading to check out the new Vikings stadium tonight as some family friends invited me along. Free ticket to check out the stadium and hear a little music should be fun.

I have been very removed from the D1 side and have no clue but best of luck. (For the record, like others I have been very frustrated with the direction of college hockey. I know change is inevitable but still.....) steps off soap box.
Good morning Lodge.
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #186: Summer Heat
Good morning Lodge. Winging my way to Dallas (I really enjoy JetBlue's free FlyFi). The two guys sitting next to me are putting together their fantasy football teams. Screaming baby count is at 2. Though, both have been pretty quiet for the majority of this flight. One at the front of the plane was screaming very early, second on just started. Wouldn't be a flight without it!
I'm watching race walking on NBCSN and it looks like all the guys have to pee really bad and now I need to. /TMI

I know the season has gone poorly but it isn't that bad.
They basically did a review of athletics at both UA schools and released a report outlining options for the future, all but one of them involve UAA cutting the hockey program. With the tea leaves indicating a different Republican majority in the Legislature full of people hellbent on cutting the state budget to the bone, it doesn't look good.
Isn't he already using 2 or 3?

Have they all been active at the same time? I thought he was getting suspended or dropping them as people calling him out for being who he is. In truth, I don't follow his posting situation at all now that we're in the NCHC.

*sigh* found out that Big Boss is resigning, effective in mid-Sept. Great boss, was a boss for the workers, not for corporate. Apparently got a better opportunity (as for advancement) with another company. His choices here were LA or CLE. Um, I understand his choice. If DHead Boss gets his position, I'll understand, deal with it, and be sort of happy, b/c for whatever reason he cuts me some slack. Other than that.....it'll be VERY interesting to see who takes the job...
I guess all in all, if they let me do my thing, and leave me alone at off-site, I'm cool with whatever happens. My record in this position shows how good I am. No, that's not tArrogance talking, Big Boss did everything BUT explicitly say he'd like me on his team at the new company (recruiting is illegal, which he also specifically mentioned, when he told us of his resignation). He's rather good with getting a message across.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #186: Summer Heat
I owned work the last couple days. I was starting to really struggle, and my attitude was slipping a bit. One of the new guys sucks. Only does the super easy tasks. If none of them are easy, he does nothing. He tries his best to look busy, that's for sure. He has evidently forgotten that we are all looking at the same queue, and can tell when someone isn't pulling their weight.
It's been bugging everyone. You can't worry about it though. It isn't my job to worry about his performance. So I decided to just fly through the crap the way I know I can. The added bonus is that if even just a few more people come around and do the same, it makes his garbage all the more obvious.

Do your thing. The rest should take care of itself. Took me a while to learn that, but it has done wonders.

It's tough. Because we are the variable policy money-out team, everything that comes in while the market is open has to be dealt with same day. That means if someone isn't doing anything, everyone else has to stay longer. There's no "this can just get done early tomorrow before we open."
Makes people cranky. Like I said though, you still can't let it affect your performance.
Seeming he is a bit newer, I have made myself more available to him. We can tell when someone is holding a task and for how long. I've taken it upon myself to go over and ask if he's having trouble with it. If he is, I just explain it to him so he can get it done.
Of course I can tell he's making up a reason he's having trouble, it is always a super simple situation. The result is that it gets done before he sits there for half an hour not doing it.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #186: Summer Heat
I would take Cleeeeeevland and not second-guess it. As the son of a UMi grad, I loathe Ohio, so that is saying something. LA is Detroit with infinitely worse sprawl and traffic (ouch). If it came down to absolutism, I could live in LA, but I would have to drive a very nice car to tolerate the commute.
After they fired the VP who hired me in (while I was on PTO - got the call at the Grand Canyon, as you know), I was no longer cool with the direction of the team. He was my champion. I knew when it happened, that we were no longer a revenue team and in the eyes of upper management, we were just overhead, likely in need of further chainsawing. I could stick around, and hope to avoid the axe, for another 5 years (and probably learn nothing), or I could take what I had learned and make a move. A month after I left, they cut an additional BA and another manager (who knows if I might've been part of that group?). Here I am today. The shine has long since worn off, and it's not an ideal job - the stress is certainly higher, especially when traveling, and dealing with aggressive East Coast clients. However, I still consider it a promotion to be treated as the expert in the room most of the time (even when I admit I need to submit a particular question to my team). That never would have happened in my previous role. Plus, I've learned more in 6 months than I had in the previous 3 years.
When my VP was fired, our teams were slid back under the VP I'd originally reported to when I was hired in. EM was cool enough, but he was more of a "promoted techie" than a visionary - bogged down in the details. CM was a visionary, but perhaps a bit too young, and in the wrong company. There's a chance I may work for him again someday - you never know.
