This was the most ludicrous thing I have read all day.

Glad you are doing well!

I recently saw a news story that stated and I quote "FAA seeking gamers for ATC career"

In your opinion, is this warranted, do they truly believe that gamers are a great fit and how long do you think these postings will be up until the position is filled? In other words, are these jobs always looking for new hires?

Thanks ahead of time.

Edit - I mean I was asking O.P., I had no idea that all the other commenters also worked for the FAA! I'd rather listen to the person doing the AmA lmao

Fantastically put

Wow. I feel this on a spiritual level. Since you decided to talk about your interaction with Latinos - I figure I should share mine.

In 2013 I worked in a Rehabilitation Center (drugs/alcohol.) The place was owned and operated by Latinos. Out of 30ish employees I was the only "white" guy. Polish to be exact..

I initially was daunted. I had a hard time understanding a lot of the clients strictly because I did not speak any Espanol. By my third or fourth week there - I had this crazy idea to possibly just start learning their language. It was definitely rough - and whatever source proved that learning different languages as you get older is definitely difficult. I found that speaking the basics - and trying daily it not only became constructive for myself - but constructive for the clients. A year or so in - I could speak Espanol in what I like to call broken sentences - whereas I could say something and they would understand it. I also found that listening to conversations and body cues also entirely helped me out. It was a gain-gain situation, leading a lot of the folks calling me La Pollocko to my actual name. It was at this specific moment that I realized I made a great judgement call by actively trying to learn it. Eventually, the conversations in the other rooms and in the halls became less of indestinctive chatter and more or less automatically translated in my head. I worked there for about 3 years before I went back to Uni and now I think it it safe to say that I can speak a lot of Spanish. I still need a lot of work to do within it - and the dialect differs greatly between certain ethnic groups, but this was entirely invaluable to me. I came from working in Roofing and not being able to understand a lick of it. Failed it in High School - but something about seeing peoples faces light up as I attempted to speak it boosted my ego tremendously. On top of this - I got to learn some very very very good dishes.

Piononos, are still one of my favorite dishes to cook. Thanks for sharing.

Not going to lie. OH can fetch $45 for mid tier shelf. Sucks - but at least the end of this year will be in Medicinal effect
