Re: What's Worse: Stiffing Your Waitress, Or Ranting On Craigslist?

Oh man, you don't ever tip? Seriously? I'm not going to try and dissuade you, you've already made up your mind, but I AM going to recommend you stop eating/drinking out. I can almost guarantee you that you've ingested spit, dirt, toilet water and decaff coffee at some point in the past ten years. People in the service industry will fuck you, dude, just as easily as you've been fucking them. Is it disgusting and unfair and petty? Totally. But so is not tipping them. You say, if they don't like their wages they should get out of the business. That, however, is a very easily flipped argument. If YOU don't like tipping, don't eat out. Your little couch philosopher attitude is not going to fix anything.

Also, if your problem is with servers (because we're all crooks, apparently! lazy, tax-evading crooks looking for a hand out! weeee!!!!!) paying taxes on cash tips, only pay and tip with a credit card.

But, seriously. Stop eating out. For your health.

Way to finish up a semi-valid, coherent argument with a totally sexist NIETZSCHE QUOTE??! Ugh. Next you are going to start quoting Ayn Rand. Why don't you sit the next few out.

Hilariously, your own statistics prove you wrong. "In 2015, 9% (3) of all fatal attacks were inflicted by dogs rehomed by shelters or rescues." That's a pretty impressively low number for rescue dogs.

Great presentation, Chris! Glad I was there to hear it. I'm still laughing at your slogan story--you perfectly captured a moment we could all somehow relate to...

Thank you to the entire GeekWire team. One of the best Seattle events we've had. So many people who make a difference in this city were brought together last night. I can't wait to see what the next year holds for everyone who attended and all of the startups mentioned.

And great to see fellow schmoozers Bob, Geir, Adam and Todd. What an honor to be in the same category as you guys!

Big news and I couldn't be more excited for you, for many reasons. Congrats, Tac. Can't wait to see you back here in the other cloudy city across the pond.

Let me know if I can help with anything as you transition back here. (I'm still a proud member of the original TacPack formed at a Blogworld years ago.)

Re: Listening is hard

Shauna Causey — Sun, 27 Oct 2013 14:52:22 -0000

Agree with this. I've noticed that most people are not good listeners. This is a skill I've proactively worked on and now I'm much more cognizant when I'm taking over the conversation.

I hope the people who need to see this post are listening to the message. :)

Congrats, Kate! Thanks for sharing this, what an honest post. Sometimes the office environment seems to encourage a stark separation of personal from professional life but I especially like your thoughts that they're intertwined. "We aren’t resources, or robots....People have hiccups. If you don’t open up though, no one is going to know why you have slowed down – and that isn’t a good thing.”
