I Called In Sick Today

[JubilantLankyLad 1,957]

No, but he was talking about going and seeing the stones next week and I said we used to play a game in college called "do your best jagger" where no matter what if someone told you to do your best jagger you had to stop what you were doing and dance like ole Mick. And he called me out but I declined. He said we'll just wait until the Xmas party when you're good and liquored up. He also mentioned his brother (the head honcho) seemed to really like me and my work for some reason that he didn't really understand.

 

I also scored some brownie points with the office manager today when she caught me emptying the dishwasher and making a pot of coffee. Next weeks audit we'll probably cut off a little early and play a round assuming the weather cooperates. One of the perks of working on the "B team" which is the team that does the bank audits. B's not for banks either. The A team is the guys who do coops because that's are main focus I'm only on the b team now since that's where they start the new guys because its typically easier than coops. And also there's not really any coop audits to go on and so they're just getting me more experience. Kidding. It's because I'm bad.

Well at least you're not getting fired until the new year. Or maybe they'll fire you but contract you as entertainment for the Christmas party. Yeah that's probably it n

[Theraflu 1,035]

Strat, I need you to fix goem. I can't find a real forum on what happened to it, and I need it. Not right now, because they got Django when I was ready for it, but soon.

 

Very soon.

I went to the local dive by myself and sang karaoke all night. /content

I'm pretty sore today but it feels like its more muscle soreness and not joint soreness or something and this makes me feel not as bad or something. I'd like to think its because I iced the crap outta my knees shoulders and neck last night. That probably doesn't even make sense.

[hank213 1,823]

That probably doesn't even make sense.

 

well then it certainly fits the overall theme lately. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT?

 

I never realized how exhausting it was shopping for a house. I'm about 85% decided on one that has had a remodel done but then I keep seeing other houses where I could really build some equity with a few small projects over the next few years. Then I remember how lazy/cheap I am with shit like that and I lean back toward the remodel. Man, white people problems huh?

[iClint 61]

Tell me about it. Trying to decide where/if I want to golf today. Also debating on trying to jury rig some sort of holder for my iPad so I can attach it to my good bag at the range and film my swing better.

[Sickinfo2 291]

We are cool, always have been, always will be.

 

 

I was in your corner.

 

 

I would piss my pants if you came to FL for an event. My event.

 

Otherwise, good night. Caught a buzz

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, I wont be attending...not that I wouldnt want to... but I would like to send a little something if possible.

 

 

 

Ill be in Vegas most of september and october. August is the cruise thingy and Im leaving straight from that. Wish you guys would have it out there... Id acquire the credentials and perorm the ceremony myself

 

 

 

A buddy of mine used to marry folks in a heli circling the strip. The big deal was they consummated the marriage in the backseat after the I do's...

 

 

 

 

Went pretty well until the tourist operators started throwing a fit about it. They now have the market locked up so tight its virtually impossible for anyone other than them to overfly the area

[Roll the Bones 74]

oh and here's some content: I was feeling pretty good all week because I was looking forward to this beer tasting thing here this weekend. bunch of different local brewerys, really good stuff. plus excellent weather. well of course I texted the person that invited me today to make sure we were still going and of course the text was ignored. par for the course, yeah, but still. sucks to get your hopes up for something and then get shit on. probably why I never get my hopes up for anything. because getting shit on is a guarantee.

 

Well, if you ever get married you can give up all pretense of even thinking of making plans to do anything other than a "honey do list" or simply hiding in the shed you built out back to keep from that list.

 

Now we got a plan. LETS DO THIS SHIT. Loser of the wrestling match pays

 

 

Watched the Jim Rome show on Showtime because I knew Whitlock was gonna be on. Rome is just, not good. Monologue was just so forced, his open letter at the end, bad. I don't like his style at all. Kobe interview was good because questions were decent and Kobe was open. Does anyone here like Jim Rome? Is he better on radio?

 

Also watching Gruden's QB Camp. I can watch these all day. He slays me.

 

Used to listen to Rome on the radio and much of it was funny, but I like dry sarcastic assholes that do comedy.

 

I just filmed my swing so I could analyze it and good lord am I disgusting. Like, holy shit, I can't believe anybody is willing to be seen with me in public. I'm never eating again.

 

Man, I missed a lot. Napa is swinging now, and FILMING IT?

 

I'm always up for a dumb Christian story.

 

Not dumb now that I think of it, and well probably not funny either.

 

It's too bad you have no idea who or what Archer is. Well done.

 

 

I do, but only because they put cool Rush themes on the side of some van or something. I have a Rush story to tell as well.

[Roll the Bones 74]

I agree Stratty. I am a social butterfly, always trying to text friends, may call, something. But after a while goes by and I realize I'm the only one initiating, i get petty and irritated. I dont wanna beg to be a friend. If it dont interest you in keeping touch, why should it interest me?

 

I said that i wont invite anyone to the wedding that hasnt hit me up first in the last 5 or 6 months. I get that people with kids get caught up in that life, but dang man, its just a text. Do something, be proactive

 

You all are invited, btw. Should be on or near a beach in SoFL and in September.

 

Sweet, I won't come but thanks for the invite!

 

 

Should be easy to find with those directions and date...

 

Duh, just wander to the beach next to the nearest bar with poker.

 

Cmon buddy, have some confidence

 

Seriously though, you wrestled, thats a great base to start. Its not like they are gonna toss you in there with a brown belt who hates ISU kids and get your arm snapped. They want you to come back, pay for more lessons.

 

They are gonna teach some technique, a few basic drills, get you a sweat and teach you one cool thing that you'll remember. It will probably be sweet and you'll wanna go back for more

 

I'll post updates when I go to my boxibg/kick boxing class next month

 

Forgot why I quoted this.... Oh yeah, what's up with the fighting for weight loss thing? Oh yeah, propably more fun than running and shit. Nevermind. I just can't picture Clint fighting unless he's drunk...

 

So, my senior whom I share an office with signed up for an okcupid account and one of his matches was this chick who's currently In prison for murder but claims she'll be released soon. And after he did a little research he found her on some site for prison pen pals called "paper dolls".

 

At some point one of our bosses came in and he mentioned it to him and turns out his daughter is doing clinicals at that prison and probably knows her. So he has me call her on speakerphone so we can all here and he tells her some story about my girlfriend going to jail and hoping she can keep us in touch. It was funny. She doesn't recognize the name but is going to look into it. He then takes a picture of me to send to her or something. I'm not sure.

 

He then goes back to his office and comes back with a few more women from this paper dolls site that he thinks would be a good match for me and now there's a wall in our office dedicated to them called "Herman's Honeys". He also told me to always do outcalls when getting hookers because its probably otherwise a sting.

 

Idk. Guess you had to be there.

 

Hermans' Honeys is awesome, a wall dedicated to it is something even better.

[brvheart 1,757]

you know I still don't quite understand this whole "just move and get a better job" thing. I mean you know that I can apply for stuff in other places from right here right? and that I most likely have? and that if I haven't moved yet it might mean that I haven't gotten an offer anywhere else? or even an interview? I mean if I can't even get so much as an interview ANYWHERE, here, other cities, big or small, what do you think the outcome would be if I up and moved without a job?

 

I'm not sure who you're talking to in this post, but I definitely agree that you shouldn't move without a job.

 

 

By brv's post, I guess he's saying that he's a millionaire.

Or he's admitting he's stupid.

 

Don't forget lazy. I'm definitely stupid and lazy.

[Roll the Bones 74]

I've done that. It's so much better when you are an awful singer and only cover Dylan.

 

It wasn't a kareoke bar /disclosure

 

Reminds me of the time I was drinking in a strange bar and conned my way into MC'ing the lingerie show. Was going well until I made innapropriate comments about the fat chick and the one with the nice ass and didn't know I was supposed to auction the clothes off or something.

 

well then it certainly fits the overall theme lately. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT?

Selling her mum's house now after spending a year remodeling most it, and we are doing our house now as well, and my sons. It all sucks. I'm painting my living room for the third time in a month tommorow.... Wimmin..

[Napa Lite 3,279]

My body's to fat and broken to run. I would love to be able to run. Buncha trails near my place with tons of breezys getting their fitness on.

[Napa Lite 3,279]

Brv. Lets get to making me a millionaire. We're burning daylight here.

[Roll the Bones 74]

 

Man, this has to have all things sickie, a gay asian, Jesus, sex and tons of self loathing doubt!

[brvheart 1,757]

You all are invited, btw. Should be on or near a beach in SoFL and in September.

 

I would totally come, but I think if I did show up, that you would be super distracted, trying to make sure I didn't feel neglicted. Maybe I'll just come to the next one.

 

 

Tell me about it. Trying to decide where/if I want to golf today. Also debating on trying to jury rig some sort of holder for my iPad so I can attach it to my good bag at the range and film my swing better.

 

Go to the Harvester or Bos Landen in Pella

 

If you don't want to drive that far, go to one of the city courses. I like Blank a lot.

 

Actually, you should probably just get a yearly pass to the city courses. They are all pretty decent, and it's a good price. (I think it's around 750)

 

Hey Brv, you could do that with me, just because you're a good Christian. We can pitch it to the networks afterwards.

Brv. Lets get to making me a millionaire. We're burning daylight here.

 

Step 1: Buy a duplex. Move in on one side, and get a roommate for your side. Rent out the other side.

 

Wait. Question. Are you up for buying a sweet tool set and learning to do small projects around the house?

[Napa Lite 3,279]

Harvester is to far and I'm not even close to good enough to play that right now without losing a dozen balls. Plus its like $80/round.

 

I play Blank a lot. Probably my fav muni above Waveland. Waveland is just way to hilly to walk and not want to kill myself. I'm just going to go to the range and play somewhere tomorrow with my buddy. Going to go to the casino tonight.

 

Re: Tools

 

MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD, BRV.

 

I love doing carpentry type work. And would love to buy actual tools, but no room currently. I suppose that would change if I bought a place. Im in my lease for another year and i dont want to buy a house with such job insecurity even though im probably OK. My brother has anything i could need though and he lives in Boome. I actually just spent the last hour building a stand for my iPad that attaches to my golf bag out of a 1x2 and some clamps. It'll work but all I have is a handsaw, a level, and a drill so its not as nice as I would have liked.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

Brvy, I,we never said you were stupid or lazy, we just were making defuctions off of your ridiculous statement about making anyone a millionaire

[Dawson Leery 12]

I stopped adding content because:

1. I have less time now. I work a lot more. When I was doing M&A consulting, I had down time between deals. Now, not so much. When I'm not at work, I'm hanging out with my finacee or friends.

2. My stories aren't that crazy anymore. When I was in college, or just out of college, I had good stuff to add. I'm boring now.

3. I end up ranting (see below) when people start talking about jobs. I think I come off as a dick in those situations.

 

When the fiancee's out of town, or if I'm traveling for work, I check out the site. Some of you guys are pretty funny. Hearing stories about SA, Napa, Shake et al. not getting laid never gets old.

[Essay21 2,387]

i picture dawson being this kind of awesome:

 

[Napa Lite 3,279]

What are you doing now? And I want to hear you rant about jobs and be a dick. You're a smart successful dude. You know a thing or two. Glad my misery is of some amusement.

[Dawson Leery 12]

i picture dawson being this kind of awesome:

 

 

I like this guy

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHJ5oHFpCM0

 

Cubs fan, and spills less beer. But I'd be happy being as awesome as either.

 

What are you doing now? And I want to hear you rant about jobs and be a dick. You're a smart successful dude. You know a thing or two. Glad my misery is of some amusement.

 

Job? Venture capital. Life? Getting married soon. Bought a condo a couple blocks from Wrigley Field.Tearing it up in men's league hockey.Buying sweet jackets like my boy napa (Link).

 

I deleted the rant. Same sht I've said before. No need to say it again. Just hate seeing you kids wasting your talents.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

Was it the same shit I've been babbling on about at them for the last few years?

 

Dawson, you have a content pass for life in this thread. Bed pissers and mainstreaming "Poundtown" carries you forever

[Napa Lite 3,279]

Wait, were you talking about the proverbial you kids or did you have any advice for me specifically? Because I'd really like to hear it. I'm constantly worried I'm not doing something I should be.

 

Edit: also sick jacket brah. I didn't end up copping that one I posted. I'm only making associate money. Plus I forgot about it.

 

Going to the casino tonight. Gonna play some 1/2. And probably some blackjack and craps.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

Pretty sure he suggested less faggotry and more confidence.

 

Just a guess
