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

It's cool...she's going to help me decorate my new apartment whether she wants to or not. I'm thinking gray in the bedrooms. Maybe a earthy tone in the living room leading into a blueish grey in the kitchen? I don't know. I don't know.

Speaking of colors, I almost bought a dark red sport coat last night. It's wool, with elbow patches. The patches are what stopped me I think. Blazer was very classy though. I may still get it.

I'm running good today. Had a meeting with my boss at 1. My stomach exploded in a shame of dirty water at 1230 and 145 but I was perfectly fine in between. She told me something big that happened today but hasn't been announced yet, so I can't tell anyone. I hate secrets. Someone got fired. That's all I can say.

Wouldn't want to say anything here since so many of us have ties to your work place....

 

 

I'm having a frustrating day. Drove almost two hours to San Diego only to have the clients lot closed for the day. This after the first place was closed as well. How the hell do people think they're going to make money when they're closed on a Wednesday.

 

However, I gambled with Ecoli by eating chipotle last night and all is good, so far at least. Purposefully booked a hotel near Pechanga this evening "in case" I get the urge to go play some poker tonight too so I have that to look forward to.

I liked San Diego a lot. I didn't see all of LA, so I can't say if it's better or what.

 

I went to petsmart with my girlfriend today during lunch. I always drive, so I always drag her to liquor stores with me. we had 25 minutes to kill today, so I pretended to be going to a liquor store, and then turned into petsmart instead. she had never seen the dogs out in the main room, mobbing the petsmart workers, so it was fun. she really wants a pet.

 

we are hammering out a deal to manage the investments for another company. so on the conference call today, the COO for the other company says, "well, since InternetExplorer will now be getting his paycheck from us..." and we all look around confusedly. we stop him and ask what he means, and he says, "well, there isn't any wiggle room here, and your co-founder agreed him becoming our employee last night." I blurt out, "wait, I've been traded? did we get anything good in return?" we all just took the guy's word for it, and I'm sure higher level conversations are going on right now about what the hell it's supposed to mean. this company wants to merge with us at some point, so I doubt they would ever dream of trying to poach. I'm guessing whatever salary they end up choosing for me, I'll get that, plus my current benefits, plus my current paycheck. complete guess based on nothing, but boy wouldn't that be an easy way to get a raise approved for me.

 

of course after the meeting my ex-roomie chimes in to say that he would be willing to be the dual employee. UNEXPECTED.

You can never be too careful tilty. You should play some poker tonight, you deserve it.

 

Fvcking lawyers.

 

Strat, your ex roomie is so "that guy" and everyone hates that guy. Too bad you can't just throat punch the mf'er. Brvy knows he deserves it.

 

Stopped at one of my stores for my largest client and turned out the regional manager was there with 8 new sales people for training so I did an impromptu training session on our product. Worked out good since 4 of the people there were going to stores I have. And the regional is really cool so I told them how it was rather than having to hold the company (mine or theirs) line on everything.

 

Headed over for some poker soon which I'm excited about. It's been a long time since I did anything but hole up in my room while on the road.

I don't like boxers much, or at least the boxers I've met have been not great. the one year old boxer my cousin has is a total psycho (I know, still a puppy), and the one they had before was a legitimate risk for being around my cousin's daughter. now that my cousin's husband is basically gone, I'm guessing the puppy goes to a new home or a shelter.

 

I forget if I shared that detail or what. the guy hasn't died, but he's basically paralyzed due to a stroke, early 40s.

 

I like boxers, but they need a good and responsible owner. My friend has one, and her appendix burst. She was in the hospital for four weeks, and I think almost died. She's recuperating with her parents (PLOT TWIST: in Oceanside, near San Diego). Anyway, I could take her dog for her BUT

 

Her boxer is three years old, pees in the house frequently, destroys furniture, and is very dog aggressive. Everyone in my apartment complex has dogs--no bueno.

Now I will pollute this thread with boxer cuteness

 

Spoilered for cuteness, and Frau

 

 

 

 

Staring contest.

 

 

 

Look of indignance for being woken up, and probably having a sore neck

 

 

 

Sleeping like a boss

 

 

 

She needs to be cuddled into something

 

 

 

Hiding behind the ball. They wait there while you shower

 

 

 

Friends for life. That yellow thing was given to us by the rescue that Lola came from. Bruno made it his

 

 

 

 

Thank you!!! And moar, pls.

Frau drops in and ignores my dog pics? What a b...

 

 

 

usy lady

 

Yeah, I'm sorry, I was at work. Lola and Bruno are tops.

When I was a kid, I always said when I grew up and got rich that I wanted to get a vacation home in Oceanside. I figured something there, a place in Colorado, and apartments in NYC and London. Figured I'd still be based in north Georgia. Never expected to live in Florida.

We're 0-2. None of our subs have showed so we've had to play all 40 both games. We were up with like 6 minutes to go last night but then they realized I'm not worth covering on offense and that they can probably beat me off the dribble. Didn't help that nobody could make a shot.

It's okay Napa. We had to win our last indoor soccer game of the session to get in the playoffs. Other team shows up with one girl (coed is 2 on the field at all times) and played short the whole game. We were up 3-0 early in the first half. Lost 6-4, miss the playoffs on a tie-breaker to a different team. Our $950 only gets us 7 games this session.

I like that watch, nap. I've looked at MVMT before and I like what they're doing.

 

The box is pretty sweet. Very classy, so it fits me perfectly. Gonna have to get a new watch now, though, just cause.

 

Ronny or Thera let's see your watch.
