My manager asked me to get something done at 5:30 today. My Birthday dinner was at 6:30. I turned in a "not-flawless" project plan. Should I be nervous he's upset with me (he knew about my birthday).

No. He should have managed his own expectations about what you can do on a Friday in 30 mins before you had to leave to get to your birthday dinner. You could produce an updated / "flawless" version on Monday.

Hey. I'll be the asshole who supports the manager here. Managers have people they need to answer to as well, and somebody higher up might have been an asshole to him that day too. If you have a prior commitment, you need to convey the message. But you're a associate - don't worry about it, that manager won't hold it against you. Hope you're having a nice hangover 👍🏼

It means ICOs are no longer open to anyone. You have to be a certified investor with the SEC. This is why Filecoin is conducting their ICO with CoinList instead of on their own.

Granted please correct me because IPO investing is something I don't know a ton about.
