oh. well find a motel closest to the 35 mile marker and bang away.

[JubilantLankyLad 1,957]

straddling the line between confident and arrogant has never been a strength for me.

starting......now

 

Idea: I am a serial monogamist in 2014, dating twelve different mens, roughly one a month. This culminates in December with the 12 Lays of Christmas.

The song practically writes itself.

 

I don't think adults should wear boots unless they are hiking, working construction, a cowboy or stomping the yard.

No, that's not right. We're back on track!

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

you know what I love? being this ****ing awesome

[SuitedAces21 2,722]

what brought that on?

[The Ocho 970]

I've drank a 6 pack of Brown Shugga tonight. 9.9%. **** it, I'm gonna round up to 10.

 

 

[The Ocho 970]

Get back, with my girlfriend.

 

 

 

That ain't right.

 

 

Heh!

[ShakeZuma 585]

Be sure to send me a PM of all progress. I'll wait

 

haha

 

thoughts?

 

the more specific degree the better. take it from somebody with a wonderfully broad economics degree, nobody gives a shit. like somebody else said, look around at other positions in the company, all of them not just open ones, and decide which one fits you best. then look at positions at other companies outside your company and see if anything jumps out at you there. find the one you want and then find the degree that most closely matches it that also has the most specialization to it. mechanical engineering, financial auditing, some kind of specialist computer degree. a "business" degree means close to zero, just another line on a resume, but a specialist degree means you know how to actually do something.

 

The thing with excel is the best way to learn is to just be working with it and think "hmm...I wonder if I can make it do this" and then google "how to do this in excel" and go from there. At least that's how I learned it so well.

 

yeah that's all I do and people at my work think I'm some kind of excel genius. and we all know how borderline retarded I actually am.

 

 

 

also I just want to point out that I like superjon being here because he now puts me at third from the bottom in the salary rankings. I'm damn near rich now.

That's a lot of booze. Well done.

 

You have the Hairy Eyeball yet? I bought it a few weeks ago, haven't gotten to drinking it yet. Also, Sucks just got here, and it's still glorious.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

 

 

Unless she asks?

 

 

I think was a lil bitta seckshewal innuendo, and if so, you're on fire today. Kudos on that.

It is? I mean, it is.

 

(Sadly, for me, that's just a solid start)

 

Had a Stone brewery stout at 13% last week. They did a tab takeover at World of Beer.

I'm in middle of nowhere Minnesota this week. I am working with a partner from another office I've never worked with. He drove us up here. He is not fond of hookers (as far as I know).

 

Tinder uses GPS to find people in your vicinity and so I thought I was looking at girls near this town but turns out that most of the girls it's showing me right now are about 75 miles from me which is probably Minneapolis. Which, doesn't really do much for me right now but I'll probably be going up to MPLS in a few weeks and so if I get a rapport going maybe we can meet up for a beer or something. I don't know.

 

And yeah, I could drive to audits on my own but for the most part we work so late that you don't have any time to do anything other than to grab a bite of eat and go to bed. And then usually we only stay 2-3 days so it's not like I can go somewhere and instead of going home on Friday. This weeks been an anomaly because they don't have anything ready for us and we're just up here to do some prelim work before the actual audit and so we're not in a hurry or anything.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

I'm off today. I have to work my first Saturday with this place, 9:15-4:15. That's the longest Saturday I've worked in banking since probably 2001. I'm not pleased, but I gotta do it. Probably be a once a month deal. I can handle that.

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

mine were 8-1, I think? only problem I had with it was the fact that you had to cut that time from the rest of your schedule that week because they didn't want to pay OT.

 

not nearly as bad as what they had done in years past, where they were so short that they had people working 10+ hour days with a few hours off in between. genius savings!

[frautotenkinder 1,025]

It was, and thank you for noticing. I have picked up the awful habit of laughing at my own jokes. In the last year or so, it's become really pronounced--like I literally cannot stop giggling sometimes. Anyway, yesterday around 10:00am I made myself laugh so hard I had the warm giggles the rest of the day, and felt a little punch drunk by the time I got home (8:00ish).

 

In addition to the giggles, I also had an office potluck. I brought in a dozen tamales (6 chicken/6 pork). Yaaassss LA.

 

I'm off today.

 

I'm also off work today! I worked last Friday night and Sunday day, and I'm working a regular Friday office day, then Friday night, and another Sunday day. AND I'm working shorter, steady hours between Monday and December 31st. My department is about 70% to its end of year goal (so we will almost certainly hit our mark), but the pressure from the exec office has inexplicably ramped up to panic levels. I am the human chum that is getting fed to the office sharks.

 

So, Ron, what are you doing today? I'm going to get some blood drawn (thyroid stuff, no big), maybe pick up a Christmas present or two, shoe shop for myself, and eventually end up in Los Feliz at a Baz Luhrman cabaret show.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

We'll, my day won't be near and packed as that. It's just after noon and I will now edit the bed. I will shop for something to make for dinner, maybe wash my car, and that's about it, I think. Oh, maybe a load of whites. Laundry, that is.

 

I've been pretty lazy and lethargic of late. Glad all my training is over and now I can just just get back to working a normal schedule. Gotta carve that out starting in the new year.

 

I should buy one or two Christmas gifts, but screw it, last minute always rocks.

I mean, six 10% beers is like an 18 pack of a light beer, consumed in about half the time or so.

 

 

You should all find and watch Black Mirror. Especially Big D, I think.

[Napa Lite 3,278]

Not one of my tinder matches has chatted me back yet. Disappointing.

 

I need some ideas of something to build for a couple I know. Told her she'd get the first real piece from my new, as of yet unnamed, wood shop. I'm going to make some custom drink coasters and Christmas tree ornaments this weekend. A different friend's wife's parents have invited me to their Christmas party for the past few years. It's my friends, her parents, two sets of their friends, and one of the friends daughter (and husband). The coasters are going to be my men's gift, the ornaments for the women folk. If you remember from this summer where I was invited to crash a wedding and dance with the mother of the bride...this is that group.

 

The coasters...I'm going to get a 1/4" darkwood. Cut them into 4x4 squares. And then cut out the letters "FA" with my scroll saw. FA, short for "fun always", is their mantra. And then I'll use a nice dark stain. And then I bought some 1/4" cork from which I will cut out the FA to put into the wood coasters for a nice dark/light contrast. And then I've got thin cork backing to go on the back of it all.

 

For the ornaments I'm going to get some 1/4" dark and light wood. Cut 1/2" strips from them and then glue them together over night. Then I'll sand or maybe even plane them down so it's all smooth and then I'll cut out standard ornament designs out of the plank with the scroll saw. Stain with a light and dark stain where applicable. Drill a hole at the top and attach a wire hanger so they can put it on the tree.

 

Boom. I'll have those 50 year old ladies swooning.

Isn't everyone else also on paid break until mid-January?

 

I'm bored.

 

 

btw Naps, I'm in Iowa. We should do something at some point. If I go out with anyone, I'll text you to join up. Maybe I'll ask her to bring a single friend.

[Napa Lite 3,278]

Ok. I'll be around here and there, just let me know.

[iZuma 764]

you know I'm pretty happy this whole duck dynasty thing happened because for a minute there I had forgotten that people are ****ing idiots

[The Ocho 970]

Starting next week I'll be paying someone while not being paid on break. Does that count?

I was just about to post this.

Obviously a person isn't allowed to express his own beliefs on a made up reality show if they differ with the opinion of the network.

I'm pooping in the macys bathroom. Pretty nice spot to pinch a loaf actually.

[The Ocho 970]

Macy's tends to have top notch shitters.

[The Machine 210]

I thought SuperJon was Essay for a while there. It just looked like an avatar that Essay would have.

[Poppy_Hillis 11]

He has better taste than Channing Tatum.
