What happened to the daily...

[William J. Decker]

Ken;

I just got back from the biggest out pouring of people helping people that I have ever experienced, with multiple educators and multiple inspectors and multiple vendors all pitching in, werever needed and all helping. NACHI staff working almost to exhausion and the Canadian members all lending a hand (along with everyone else pitching in, where needed).

In short, a typical NACHI convention.

Then, I come back to the board and see you grousing about the freebies being interupted for a couple of days.

I am so very, very, very sorry that you were inconvienced.

In other words, GET A CLUE, GUY!

Kinda spooky, really

I won a prize before that day got here and now
I'm enjoying it in the future. I came back in
time to post this response so you would all
know that the prizes did get here.

I'm 87 years old, as I speak, and enjoy the
the free thermal imaging cameras Nick gave
away. They are really cheap in the future,
and you can buy one for less than $3.49
now a days.

You know, you guys can be such jerks.

He wasn't "grousing", he wasn't making any stupid posts, he was just asking where they were.

I've seen other's asking that same question and people just say, oh yeah. What happened to it?

So, quite frankly, if you can't post something nice, then you shouldn't post anything.

Seems to me that some of you people come back from having your ego stroked all over the place at these conventions, get your head a little too swelled, and forget how you got where you are in life.
Forget how to be nice to people which is HOW you got the awards you got, and then start treating people like crap.

Now grow up and start acting like the heros you keep pretending you are!

Wendy;

Point well taken, about the swollen head thing.

To my point, how could you guys not know that Nick was at the convention? He was kind of busy.

The moral compass of NACHI..... Have you read the threads that Ken has started? Even you have to admit that quite a "Lott" of them are stupid and controversial to say the least. If Ken wanted to win the daily door prize he should have attended the convention Nick was handing prizes out every 30 minutes!!!

Mario,

Even Will was gracious enough to admit he was wrong. Maybe you could be.

No, I won't judge anything about Ken's posts. Your post wasn't any better or worse than his was.

As to attending the convention? Not all of us are as fortunate as you to be well off enough to afford to go and have other commitments such as children and bills to pay. We can't just leave and play. I would have loved to have gone.

Nothing about your post to Ken was uplifting or educational, yet you judge it to be better than his when his was just a query. Maybe you should simply be less judgemental and more helpful and kind?

I don't think Ken was asking why there weren't door prizes during the convention. Rather, there are actually weeks at a time where there aren't door prizes, and then Nick will post a whole slew of them and then post them for 20 days in advance, such as above in his post. That's all. *shrug*

"Even Will"? Wendy, I didn't admit "being wrong" because I don't believe that I was. I did admit that I have to make sure that I don't get a swelled head. There is also a big difference between my getting all full of myself and others (for their own reasons) percieving that I have.

No, I won't judge anything about Ken's posts. Your post wasn't any better or worse than his was.

Yet, you seem to do a lot of 'judging' about people, based only on their posts. Remember, thsi media is very prone to misunderstanding.

No, not all are are 'fortunate'. Also, some do not budget to attend. In any case, I can assure you that the attendees did not "play", as you put it. There was recreation time, but there was also a lot of hard work in the classes. Education is a very important business.

Again with the 'judge' word. In this context, a bettwe word would probably be 'determine'. It is entirely right and proper to make a determination about a persons words when they post them for all to see.

I would also point out that some people have come to see the daily door prizes as some sort of entitlement. They are gifts, given out at Nick's whim. Rather than waiting for a gift, and being disappointed when it does not appear, one should work hard and take care of themselves.

In any case, I would hope that thie clarifies what I already thought was a pretty clear concept.

That is your opinion of the situation Will. My opinion is different. I think it's judging and playing and prizes, etc...etc...etc....


But that's why it's America right?

Thanks Nick, at least now I know it's useless to try.
