InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Brvhrt--and maybe BigD?--I was talking to a guy at a work function who is a Rhodes scholar and much more successful than I'll ever be. We had both seen the same museum exhibit and I gave the right references with Buckminster Fuller and the early Raushenberg. It's all for the next gig, right? english, I presume for ron (nsfw): this seems like it will be the theme song to something: Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I've got a case of the Mondays, for sure. I'm a little upset about missing opening day at Busch. Day games man. Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Spent the day at a charity golf tourney instead of work. Got a good buzz, worked on my putting and some chipping, met some good people. Good times. Going to Universal Studios theme park tomorrow after work for a private party. They close the place down to guests, keeps everything open, everything (food and drink) is free. There will be a lot of people there, it's the McDonald's party. Their bi-annual convention is in town.

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 That was odd, Strat. The music wasn't enjoyable. The opening and the girl was sexy. Link to post Share on other sites

Napa Lite 3,278 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Question to my lawyer...how legal is it for me to have a fleet of drones flying over my apartment complex 24/7 to spot people who don't pick up their dogs' shits. These drones may or may not be equipped with a PA and armed with blue dye guns. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I rememeber reading about an apartment complex that made you submit dog feces for a poop database. I wouldn't mind that system. Link to post Share on other sites

These drones may or may not be equipped with a PA and armed with blue dye guns. under the patriot act any white male can take any step reasonably necessary to safe guard "freedom" and clearly we're within that definition here. you're also able to detain any person for any reason for any length of time.

CobaltBlue 662 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Started betting against the Braves again today. Will probably do it until they can prove to me they're capable of winning. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Braves aren't trying to win. They'll be so good in 2019. If they trade freeman for a ton of young studs they could be better than the Cubs by then. Link to post Share on other sites

If I make it out of here still employed it will be a small miracle. just agree with everything he says and send a hooker to his room. but seriously, i can't even imagine spending all day in a car with my boss, let alone 12 days in a row.

Tiltinagain 973 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Yeah, it's pretty awful but today was better than yesterday. One of the good/bad things is he insists we go to a sit down dinner each night before we go to our hotel, resulting in us not getting to our rooms until 8pm, after we left at 8:30 in the morning. Plus is I'm eating good. Minus is not much rest and relax time just chilling in the room before time to get to sleep. Link to post Share on other sites

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I'm having lunch with the #3 at my firm tomorrow. I'm struggling with how honest I should be, how open I should be about the sustainability of the current situation. the trouble of it is that I should be appreciative/grateful in the context of what has been done to newcomers historically.

Napa Lite 3,278 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I'm sure he appreciates a straight shooter, Strat. Maybe bring a scroll of your criticisms, complaints, and suggestions to unroll for dramatic effect. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Essay21 2,385 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Strat you gotta play it by ear. See how it's going, bring up something small first and see how he takes it. You'll know whether to keep going. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Iphonenkinder 558 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 It's all about the lighting. Sit with the sun behind you, so you look noir while drinking something that's not as good as what you have at home. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 the good thing is, this is about maximizing, not saving my ass from getting fired or anything. I know I'm going to get outmaneuvered--he is a world-class advisor, so no matter what angle I choose, he'll have an instant response. anything I say, even just my body language, is going to be picked up on. the scroll idea sounds like it could be effective however.

Napa Lite 3,278 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I may or may not be in Lousville June 3rd, Strat. I can't say for certain because I received a "save the date" and last time I saw the couple it seemed I was invited but I have yet to receive an invite while a mutual friend has. But it might just be a mail forwarding issue since I've moved. As of now I might have a free-ish night or we might all get together as a group for dinner or something. No idea. This was a solid post.

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 ok! lunch was fine, I was pretty candid and didn't throw my worthless coworkers under the bus as much as I could have. sounds like there will be a way to use the budget to get me additional money this summer, outside of the standard process, without the director of my department having discretion. so all in all, really good. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
