I Called In Sick Today


Recommended Posts

Does anyone else take old songs and current baseball players and mix them together?Ian Snell: "Oooooh that Snell. Can't you Snell that Snell."Damion Easely: "Take it Eeeeasely, take it Eeeasely."You do? That's cool. I figured I couldn't be the only one.

If you are paying $20 for a haircut, I imagine people assume you did it yourself anyway.

and after 3 days, he is risen!

Pocket change cost me my first and only black girlfriend.   It was in the middle of a roaring poker boom and I was flush in ways most men don't even bother dreaming of. Money, it was like dirt to me

Summer living situation:I rent a house with four other guys. Our lease goes until august, and it's not an individual thing, we're all in it together. One of them is moving out and will sublet, but there's two guys that want in. What kind of repercussions are we looking at if the sixth guy is discovered to be living in the house? We have room for 'em, but we did sign a lease for five guys. My parents are relatively close by and I've got nothing tying me to lawrence, so I'm considering just moving out and letting the other guy sublet for the summer. I may have to pay rent to my parents or get a job. Thoughts?
The situation has changed a little bit. The guys that wanted to move in now want to just split their portion of the rent for that one room. Rent is $1525/mo, so they're basically saying they each want to pay 1/10th and the rest of us would be paying 1/5th. The room they'd be staying in does suck--it's an attic, and it gets ridiculously hot, and the ceiling is sloped on both sides and has a max height of 6'.Ok, so I can understand that. But my parents will let me live at home and work for them, and I won't have to pay rent, and I will get free food. My compromise was to let them have my deposits (they amount to at least $400) and move out, so they each end up paying like $205 per month with my utils factored in, AND they each get their own room.This seems like the best move for everyone, but what do I do if they say no? I'm willing to be an ***hole if I have to stay in lawrence this summer and pay $800+ in rent+utils alone. What would you do?

2 people may only use one bedroom but they take up more than 1/5 of the fridge, hotwater/ showertime, couch space, etc. This 1/5 vs 1/10 deal is BS, even if the room is smaller.But you signed and agreed to stay until August, so unless you can find someone to take your place, I say you stick it out, unless you don't like your roommates. Then screw 'em

Well, the way this all came about was total BS. The roommate who was the architect of this whole deal didn't tell either of us before agreeing with the second guy that wanted to move in. They agreed to split the utility costs 1/6th each, but that would save me a whopping $10 or less. I just don't want to live with 5 other guys, I get annoyed with 4 as it is.I guess I'm just hung up on it because it's hurting the wrong people if I put my foot down and say no. I'm either screwing my current roommates over by moving out and not paying my share or I'm screwing the roommate who's going to california by nixing the deal that has his share of the rent being paid.

I'd say screw em, move back in with mom and dad. After living both the sheltered and independent lives, I have to say sheltered has got it going on. Free food is super terrific.Well I got promoted today. I'm moving to a completely different team and going to train to work on really high end cases and all kinds of crazy stuff. Wanna know the best part though? There's no pay increase. Nope. No more money at all. Lots more responsibility? Check. Much more workload? Check. Whole lot more accountability? Check. Just a slight, smidgen of a raise for my efforts? No motherfucking check. I'm really not sure about this crap. I mean, obviously they like me an know I'm good at what I do and all (I'm the only one of the 17 people I was hired with to be promoted even once), but I mean really, how many times can I be promoted without actually making any more money? I've gotten 2 promotions in the past freaking 2 MONTHS, and I'm still making the same amount as when I was hired. I am a sucker.

I always feel leveled by those type of posts by MDG. Isn't that just a polite way of saying, we dry humped?

Strat...you have a lot of options even if those guys don't like your deal. I do have to say, you'd be a real asshole for telling these guys that even though they'd have to each pay a full share of utilities, they still have to pay more rent than just for that one shitty room they'd be splitting (for just two months). Do you plan on being friends with your roommates starting next fall?Shake...it's time to directly ask for a raise. If they say no ask why you're making the same as the people you came on with that haven't been promoted. If they still say no ask what you would have to do to get one. Have them specifically outline it for you...and then go look for another job.

Are we playing a tourney tonight?
Not this guy.

Yep, I believe you are pretty much right. I'm gonna have to wait and see what this new position actually entails (its still kinda foggy right now), but once I have that, I think I'm just gonna have to be down right direct about it. We'll see.

Sarcasm?I got three raises in 2.5 years at the company I just left...two of those raises only happened because I directly asked for them. Not randomly, but when circumstances dictated that I actually did deserve to be making more money. I was never shady about it...just was honest about the fact that I felt I deserved more. Better to be honest than to get pissed off and bitter.Full disclosure: one of those raises wasn't salary, it was creating a commission structure since I started doing more sales (I asked for salary increase, that was their compromise)edit: wait...was that a jew-gold joke? dammit.

Yup - RM, I am clearing out my garage and do have some old wedges. You were serious about needing them.? Just PM a naked picture of yourself your contact info and they are yours. And no I won't stalk you.
expect a PM. And if you want a picture of my peni, I'll send that shit
sorry Ronhi all, works sucks
goddammit
That got canceled like 3 months ago! It sucked. Aaron went on to do more productive things. Funny the only reason I came here was because I just saw on yahoo that Veronica was cancelled and I wanted to let Chris now. My life is fucking sad.
you love me, its ok, lots of people do. Why cant you live closer, and have a vagina?
Have faith Chris - there's a rumor that Veronica Mars could be a mid-season replacement candidate since Kristen Bell will be doing only voice-overs on the new show Gossip Girl and could be available.
fuckin' Andre. Who doesn't love Andre? I know I do

that would imply it was sexual. basically, i was joking that i'm so lazy that there's no way sex involving me would involve any position other than cowgirl. i then convincingly argued that it was considerate of me to have my hands behind my head, as opposed to on hips or anything in said position. we then realized that i could easily hold and drink a beer while in said position. some arguing ensued, and i told her she'd be too chickenshit to climb on. she said she would if i had a beer. so, she got me a beer, then climbed on. this led to discussion of other positions that could be done while drinking a beer. since she proved not to be chickenshit, i had to go through with it too, and we dry-attempted a few of them.in case you're wondering, the answer is yes. any other guy in my situation would've just moved his boxers down a few inches and stuck it in. but not this guy.

What type of company and what is your job title/description? Yeah, be direct and don't be defensive. It's a very valid question as a promotion almost always results in more money or benefits. More work for same pay is great for your employer.

Well, it's looking bleaker unfortunately. Saw a story that he's not as optimistic as he was yesterday about a mid-season pickup.I saw some of the new CW shows - what a joke.

Does this poor girl understand just how screwed up sexually you are? Maybe you need to tell her the story about catching your dad with his creepy porn...

This is key. Keep along the lines of 'I love working here and just want to make sure I'm being treated fairly'. If you're as good as they apparently think you are, they won't have a problem keeping you happy.

Maybe that was her casual way of implying it. I'm not one to mismanage my energy input/output ratio. If she bothered to fetch me a beer, proceed to straddle me like she was getting ready for the Preakness and want to "act out" scenarios, I'm sticking it in, balls deep, all 3 inches.

By the way MDG, there is a cure to this sexual hang-up you have.Fuck her. Just dip your pen in her ink a few times...doing it once will make you a lot more comfortable with the thought of doing it again. You just have to jump off that ledge. If it's easier you can have her help you with a countdown. 3-------2--------1-----------PENETRATION!!!

I worked all day with your girl today, and I was doing my usual, funny guy routine. I may have to have her boyfriend killed, but I'd be ok with that. I don't know him. Where is Adam when I need him? Maybe Silky can work me up a drug concoction to poison him to death, we'll see.Now I have to work there tomorrow and Monday as well. I have to figure some stuff out. Angles.I also had to cancel lunch with a girl who I think likes me a little. Her exchanges tell me she digs me, but also throws in some stuff that throws me off the scent. Although when I told her I was gonna get a fat check, she thought I wrote I was gonna fuck a fat chick and commented that she was jealous. She tried to back off the "jealous" comment when I commented on it, but then said, "yeah, maybe a little."Who knows? Not me, thats for sure
