One wish, NYCFC MLS Cup, Man City Treble (including Champs League), Lightning Stanley Cup or Bucs SB?
NYCFC Cup and only because of all those listed (save for the Bucs) that one is least likely to happen.
Lightning are best team in NHL. Man City are arguably favorites for domestic cup and title and stand a chance for Champions League. NYCFC play in a very competitive league which is set to get even more competitive this year.
To be fair I’m very happy right now in terms of teams I follow. Bucs suck.
 
Dang, Dan, that's a big decision. It seemed like the job you got was huge, both in terms of workload but also significance to your career, and it seemed like something you were really good at, so that's a big thing to step back from. That said, I trust that you'll make the decision which is best for you and so I wish you the best in finding a new job and for working things out otherwise.

Don’t think there would be much for me in the city. I’d likely have to work even more since I’m just an uneducated peon.
Next is unknown at the moment. Have 2 flights scheduled to find work.

Eh. I'm not sure if the way jobs work is the same over there as here, but I bet it is. From an educated peon to an uneducated peon of about the same age, let me assure you that at this stage in our careers your skillset and experience is far more important than the pieces of paper you have to back up your credentials. I have a Maths degree and it counts for absolutely diddly squat for me right now because when I go into interviews I can't string off a list of projects I've worked on, innovations I've introduced or processes I've developed and frankly those are the only things of any value that an interviewer sees in me. I've specialised in my career so far in taking very limited jobs and doing them as well as they can be done; you on the other hand have had a job where you've been able to imprint yourself far more. I'm 100% certain that you will set yourself up with something even more awesome, and make me even more jealous of you, in no time at all.

Anyway, silly gushy nonsense pep-talk over. This is supposed to be an AMA so I guess I'll ask...uh...pineapple - acceptable pizza topping or not?

Appreciate the pep talk Matt! I’ll find out soon enough what my prospects will be when I fly down in 2 weeks to do some searching.

Unacceptable topping.

I don't know enough about your age or expertise but

What do you do?
 
Do you enjoy the North or South more?
Loved the weather in the North. Really enjoy living in Richmond.

I am going to inform my Richmond-born mother that she is from the “north.”

If I lose my inheritance, I am sure the forum will give me enough Dan bucks to make up for it.
 
I figure everything north of the Carolinas is the North :/

Man, I live 3,000 miles away and I know VA is a Southern state...

Some more questions:

Kirk or Picard? ("I don't like Star Trek" is the wrong answer, FYI, as was your assertion that pineapple does not go on pizzas)
Best film you saw in 2017? (I will accept one you saw on TV/internet which wasn't actually made in 2017)
Ideal holiday destination?

How about I’ve never seen Star Trek?
Don’t watch too many movies. I think Logan might have been he only new 2017 movie I saw and it was good so we’ll go with that one.
Holidays... hmm We usually do a beach rental as a family and those are always relaxing. Anna Maria island only a few hours away from my home in Florida.
 
I’ve been working in grocery retail since I was 15. Work for the largest employee owned company in US, Publix.
THANK YOU Christopher Jee Christopher Jee for getting the answer out of this man when i asked him on another thread !!!! I find it ironic that i took the time and effort to make my own thread topic on our Boss NYCFC_Dan NYCFC_Dan almost mirroring this one .Then we get this statement from him . Wow !!!
 
Boss NYCFC_Dan NYCFC_Dan as always I find anything you revile about your personal life fascinating since your not that type to give us such detail . Its good for us underlings to know what Boss is up to . Even if the underling is someone you don't care for . Remember i took the time to care for you in another thread similar to this . I wish you success and happiness where ever your at !.......AMA now That has to stand for ALWAYS MY ANDREA !!!

(I actually thought that might be your response. I just asked for kicks)

All those confederate monuments didn’t change your perspective?



Greatest grocery store in the world.
Hey I’m not the one that initially called it the north. But it is cold here for more than 1 month of the year and that’s got to mean something.

I figured you’d know what it was.
