speedz99 145 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Good work, Wangster. Sort of. I guess. There aren't any family restaurants in POUNDTOWN.Well this definitely is good work. LG, there's nothing wrong with posting while drunk. You should do it more often. Link to post Share on other sites
LadyGrey 6 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 LG, there's nothing wrong with posting while drunk. You should do it more often.I sent my best friend a drunk email last night. She called me today and expressed how impressed she was at my coherence and accurate spelling whilst drunk. I am proud. Link to post Share on other sites
Randy Reed 0 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 You're not going to the game are you?I wish, I could use a vacation to the west coast.Cut the grass, made some rigatoni with pasta sauce and sat to watch the first game and it'sDetroit and Cleveland. I mean hell, people in Detroit and Cleveland aren't even watching that game. Link to post Share on other sites

loogie 115 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I think the attempted lateral by Ed Reed at the end of the Colts/Ravens game was actually, percentage-wise, the correct play. Link to post Share on other sites
jeff_536 3 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 As part of a job application process with Canada Post, I've had the weekend to write a 5-7 minute speech and was given the following three topics:1. Statement by Marc Courtois, Chairman, to the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities reiterating Canada Post's commitment to universal service to all Canadians. 2. A speech by Moya Greene, President and Chief Executive Officer, to employees, members of the public and local, provincial and national dignitaries, marking the opening of Canada Post's new mail plant in Winnipeg in mid-2010. 3. A webcast by Jacques Cote, chief operating officer, to employees on the need for continued cost-cutting efforts amid challenging economic times. I chose No. 3 and have completed it. I would really, really like a second (and/or more) opinion on it. It's only a page and a half so if any of ya'll smart ones would do me the great favour of taking a look at it, I'd appreciate it. It's due by 10 a.m. tomorrow morning.Either post your email here or pm me. Or hit me up on aim/msn.Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
LadyGrey 6 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I'm curious as to why you listed the 3 topics fully when you have already selected and completed one of them. Is there a possibility that you might change and do one of the other topics if someone strenuously advises you to do so? Or did you just want us to see all the options for some reason, and if so, why?p.s. I am not trying to be snarky or whatever, I'm genuinely interested and would like a serious answer Link to post Share on other sites

I am not trying to be snarky or whatever, I'm genuinely interested and would like a serious answerIt seemed like a good idea at the time?No real reason, just to give anyone some background on the choice I had, rather than having someone ask me after the fact "Did you have any other options?" Also, after writing the speech, I was in the habit of stretching things.And no, i'll not be changing the topic. Link to post Share on other sites

For some reason that seems like the worst choice of the three.Also, I'm an engineer, so I cannot offer any assistance when it comes to writing. I are not a good writer.

It's where we sort mail.Thank you.Seems like an easy one to me...you can just focus on the positives. LOOK AT US COMPETING IN THIS GLOBAL ECOMOMY!Pre-post Edit: I realize "economy" is spelled incorrectly, but the speaker is Canadian ( and Canadians are intellectually inferior!), so chances are this is really how he'll say it, therefore I decided not to bother my backspace key with something that trivial.

speedz99 145 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Emailed you back...please disagree wherever...some of that stuff is just personal preference. Also, I don't know exactly what tone you should be going for. Whenever I think speeches, I just think, "What would Sam Seaborn do?" Link to post Share on other sites
jeff_536 3 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 You made a few good points. I need to tighten it up in a couple of places. Thanks for your time. Link to post Share on other sites

Whenever I think speeches, I just think, "What would Sam Seaborn do?"Sam: I'm less visually observant than others but I make up for it.Emily: How?Sam: With cunning and guile.(I was looking for, without luck, the quote where he says something along the lines of "...just a little something I like to use, called cadence".

Tactical Bear 3 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Good work, Wangster. Sort of. I guess.My glory is short-lived. I have been trying this for over a year now, and it's just... not working. I don't know why I can't get over this girl, but I just can't. I recognize that I have to, but I keep convincing myself that I've got a shot, when any rational person would have realized 8 months ago that's he's delusional.Misery suits me much better, anyway. As part of a job application process with Canada Post, I've had the weekend to write a 5-7 minute speech and was given the following three topics:1.
