@D2 how much did you pay for that? Last I checked it was $1000 for a 10k mile accelerator.

On purpose?

I just bought the United miles. Not worth the effort.

@SA1, I paid $900 for the 9K I was missing. It would have cost me $600 to fly it before taxi and hotels and stuff.

I just rolled in in with a work trip, cost to me $0

Well dollar cost anyway, time cost was hugw

Anyone in downtown bk or Williamsburg wants to join our board game group?

We are currently a group of 3, but one person is moving to west coast soon, which reduces our board game options and complexity!

We tend to hangout with limited groups of friends and meet up at least every other week. So ideally just want to find 1-2 more like-minded people to join us.

If you are interested, please leave a comment with what are your top 3 board games and a description of your personality :)

Also, are there any provisions you’d consider absolutely crucial from the owner’s side?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
