What is the meaning of "How do you do? " and why should the reply to this be the same?
It means, "How are you doing?" and a simple, "How do you do?" is an acceptable response. No emphasis (i.e. not, "How do YOU do?"; rather, "How d'you do."). This form of question-question exchange is quite common: e.g. Dublin, "Howaya," response "Howaya." London, "Wotcha," response, "Wotcha."
What is a typical successful conversation on Tinder like? After a match, how does the messaging conversation usually start and end with a date?
It took me a while, but I’ve finally gotten pretty good at Tindering. Let’s start with two general pieces of advice and then I’ll post some real examples.Standardize your openers. This does not mean Googling “good Tinder openers”. Experiment until you find 2 or 3 funny messages that fit your personality and get a high % of positive responses, then use those for all your matches. Some people might say it’s lame to start every convo the same way, but screw that. Stick with what works. If there’s something in a match’s profile that really jumps out at you, go ahead and ask about it right away, but it’s mostly best to start with a light, humorous ice breaker and ask about specifics later.Don’t wait too long before asking for a match’s phone # and setting up a date. You don’t need to get the person’s life story on Tinder. Form a connection quickly, ask them out, and then get to know them in person.Here then are screen shots from a couple of successful Tinder convos I’ve had recently. Names, pictures, and phone #s removed out of respect for my matches’ privacy.Convo #1Convo #2Hope this helps!
What is Noogler orientation like?
I did mine in Mountain View CA, other sites may be different. If you have seen the movie with Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson about a Google Internship, it is surprisingly like that, as much as any movie is like reality.The first two days, you and several hundred other Nooglers are in a big room reserved just for orientation. Long tables, a dozen chairs at each. There are forms to fill out, You are given your laptop and your badge, You don't know anyone. Everyone is friendly. It is exciting, overwhelming.Googlers give presentations, 1 hour each. All the standard HR stuff. They manage to make most of them interesting. None are actually boring. You get a tour of the campus. There is a session where you get to meet various groups, e.g. the health insurance people, some of the special interest groups. Someone from your team (or a related team) meets you.You hear about the freshman 15, where everyone puts on 15 pounds their first year at Google. You eat at the cafeterias and understand why.Near the end, you do a “project” just for fun with your table mates. Ever table shares their project with the whole room. Everyone claps, Some of the projects are just so amazing, but all are surprisingly good,You have your Noogler beanie. You go to your first TGIT, Google almost feels like a party, if all frats were from Revenge of the Nerds,Starting with day 3, you have “real” courses that prepare you for your actual job. You learn how to login, how to use the various Google tools.You learn where all the Google sites are around the world and how many computers Google has. You can't share that with anyone, but it is freaking huge. I worked for Intel and thought they had plenty of computers, after all they practically can “print” as many as they need, Well, they are in a distant 2nd place on the Google chart.If you are like me and work elsewhere (i,e. Cambridge MA) you have to leave at the end of the first week. Otherwise, week 2 is more courses.
What is it like to travel sitting next to a celebrity?
I was flying back from South Africa with my college students on the London to Minneapolis leg. I was surprised to be bumped up to first class because they oversold coach. (lucky me!) Since the seat next to me was unoccupied, I asked the stewardess if it was okay if my students could come up, one at a time, and sit next to me for 10 - 15 minutes each while I talked quietly with them about what they learned on the trip. She said it would be no problem. After about an hour an elderly lady in the middle section of first class (who had apparently been drinking a little too much) began making loud comments about allowing the riffraff up in first class. We were speaking quietly so as not to bother anyone, (even people across the isle could not hear us much less someone in the back of the middle section 5 rows back. But this old gal just didn't like the idea of sharing first class with any commoners. She continued to get louder, the more she drank. The stewardess went over to her and explained what we were doing and she began to argue with her. The stewardess finally had to threaten her that she would be arrested if she did not quiet down. At that point I told the student to go back and that we'd finish our conversation the next day. The stewardess apologized and thanked me. I wondered who this cranky old lady was and went over to her to talk and explain what I was doing and apologized if I had offended her. She'd have none of it and began to curse at me too - so I went back to my seat and ignored her the rest of the trip. She looked vaguely familiar but I didn't know who she was. That weekend I went to see the movie, “Harry Potter” and lo and behold, there was my friend from the flight! I saw her on the screen - "Professor Minerva McGonagall" - Maggie Smith! I said to my wife, "That's her!" She said, "Who?" and explained the whole thing to her. We had quite a laugh. So I guess even the rich and famous have off days. Dear old Maggie. I felt a little sorry for her but at least she was flying first class with unlimited beverages.
Riddles: On my way to St. Ives I saw a man with 7 wives. Each wife had 7 sacks. Each sack had 7 cats. Each cat had 7 kittens. Kitten, cats, sacks, wives. How many were going to St. Ives?
Just one.
Which Tours and Travel Company provides your best tours packages around the world?
Following an entire year of working 8 hours per day, even an end of the week getaway sounds divine. Be that as it may, contemplating the get-away isn't as delightful as making arrangements for it. There are a ton of components to consider and cash is the greatest one. When you understand the sum that you need to spend, the occasion gradually ends up noticeably freakish. To make your excursion simple on the pocket, you can depend on online travel agencies.There are many online travel companies offering international tour packages, but from my personal experience while planning your trip if your priority is for travel comfort and budget I would suggest you HOUSEOFTOURS - Holiday Packages | Online Flight Booking | Tourist Visa | Dubai, UAE. They offer a variety of tour packages to different countries for people across all age groups at an affordable rate.It was actually one of my friend who has suggested me about this travel company 3 years back, I’ve been using their services for all my international travel since then. last year I visited Georgia with HOUSEOFTOURS in a cheap tour package including the beaches, museums, jungles, and beautiful greenery and much more.
