Re: CUBE LIFE! Office Etiquette
That's really dumb. They make us take what is basically the same 3 or so training courses every year. I don't need to read the text or watch the videos. One is on cybersecurity.

1) I was very down on the Caps early on. Addition by subtraction and now they are playing a very solid style. I hate to say this, but Backstrom being out was already a net positive, and then you have Oshie out for extended amounts of time, which is allowing the young guys (many of whom played on the...

Not for nothing, but Aaronson scored what turned into the game winner for Union Berlin. And while it was only the extended highlights, the announcer said multiple times he was the best player on the field. So... he's got that going for him... which is nice.
