Calling Bullshit

I learned from my mentor a cute and handly little trick: Give the bullshiter enough rope to hang by. Thats why I always have email correspondence and minutes of conversations emailed to all concerned parties.

Currently, as an example thesis I'm dealing with a bullshiter at work. The company we own, that he works with has been a liability and the character of these managers are continuously under question. My Bullshiter senses keep alarming at the amount of flattery this guy gives us, compared to all other employees.

So what did I do, I'm sorting his bullshit from the truth. Interestingly HOURS and HOURS in the forums debating with Psychopaths and fellow freethinkers have taught me how to sort bullshit from fact. Of course my not-for-credit studies have helped immensely.

Giving them Rope. An honest person will do what he says and will admit to their own faults because thats what honest people do. I admit that work doesn't need honest people, but it DOES need results. And a dishonest person cannot fake results for long. Thats why we have those emails and those documents of action, the paper trail that makes US ALL accountable: even the boss.

Dominant Strategy:
  1. Bullshiter: Does nothing, Passes the buck to Me
  2. Since I don't have the necessary information and resources to succeed, project fails.
  3. Who gets the fail mark: Me, and bullshiters coast along earning x5 what I earn (repeating the past two years I was in the company)
I guess keeping things Accountable has become one of my obsessions. Both for me and everyone else around me. Its not like I'm a harsh person with impossible standards, but I'm quite the opposite. My standards are Humanistic and I try to work with those who clearly want to work for the better. So I have no room for Bullshiters, and my logical response automatically mistrust.

My mentor is very concerned about credibility and honesty. I'm happy that he has such high standards for such. We survived on credibility, despite all the odds. I'm not about to forget our best advantage.

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,

Gurps Mysteries

A really great GM book . If there was Game Mastering for Dummies (not just for DnD or GURPS ), Gurps Mysteries is the next level of Advanced Game Mastering. This is where the players grow up a little, they are not as interested in Hack and Slash anymore and they begin to lean on a more cerebral challenge. One of the best elements of this books is how to communicate clearly to your players through clues and hints in the game. Despite its focus on mystery, this books i great for any intrigue. Eventually mastering these technqies, format, and story telling will allow for games to have a very clear and sophisticated finish. An art onto itself, and not just a game. Of course the most important element is having fun. Fun is when you and the players are on the same page no matter what you throw at them to challenge their characters and give them a chance to shine. Filled with too much information . I'm excited at what I learned about armor smithing in the early Renaissance and late

330mg of Caffeine will do the trick

Ok i got a grande brewed coffee and put 8-10 packets of brown sugar thats about 155 calories. This is twice the amount of Caffeine i get from my 2 shots of espresso in the morning with 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. How do i feel... Better! although my face is reeling from the bitter after taste of the coffee. good coffee is really sour going down and really bitter after. The intense sugar tends to make the sourness taste fruity. Anyway, my is elevated and I'm a bit hyper but i am able to control that better these days. The tons of notebook and the emotional intelligence studies help. Particularly when i've broken down most of my peculiarities and the way I think. Heck, I think i can make an entire wiki based on how I'd react to certain things. It would be very revealing and transparent of me, and of course like the anything so vulnerable subject to abuse when falling in the wrong hands. I have to email, a friend back some airsoft details.
