    I tried using some of the techniques yesterday with a customer service agent but I botched it badly. Still, good practice and I know what I did wrong for next time.

    But I so far have had a 100% success rate with the “Are you giving up on x?” email.
    That one is FIRE.

    My favorite is offering someone the opportunity to say 'no'. Especially when they are 50/50 on doing something, they usually capitulate.

    It's embarrassing it took me to the 3rd ellipses post to catch on. For shame.

    Nice to meet you, my name is Grundle. I'd sure like to do that, it's a fair request, but I simply have used all my bandwidth.
    So there is really nothing you can do, you're powerless?

    You're so good at it, how am I supposed to accept that?

    Alright, before the thread is killed—on deadline—I'll cut the malarkey because I've run out of it.

    Anyone can fire up a book clerb thread. Last (only?) one kinda thudded a little, which is fine. It was a great book, and some good discussion both in the thread, and via PMs.

    And @pawz that book was teh tehts, thanks again. I'm going to order a paperback copy, there's a lot I'd like to reference back to, and audiobook just ain't so good at that.

    For NSTD ... @creepycoug. Finance bored. Belongs.

    TBH, I'm not sure I've read the book all the way through, however I've listened to it on audio, and probably listened a couple hundred hours of CV on youtube.


    Yore very welcum.

    Ha. DJ is disc jockey in this case, sorry to disappoint you.

    I’d taken a break from military memoirs for a bit.

    A Million Steps. Good, straightforward account of a Marine battalion in Afghanistan, written by a Vietnam vet turned writer.

    Into the Fire. By Dakota Meyer, MoH winner, been a guest on Jocko & Rogan pods multiple times. Ex-son-in-law of Sarah Palin.

    This might have been a suggestion by @Doog_de_Jour .

    Good chit. And not all happy eatings either. Some seriously dark shit including Holodomor.
