I Called In Sick Today

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

Not very efficient of you

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

Google searching and google imaging my email address user name, which I gave to place I'm interviewing. This place pops up a few times. I guess my old photobucket wasn't totally private. Nothing horrible on there, but still. And it's my twitter handle. I wonder how deeply employers look now

 

I'm suddenly paranoid

[SuitedAces21 2,723]

where's my apology?

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

For employment, not for faggotry reasons

 

And I'm not that worried. It ain't anything too serious

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

At this point, it is what it is.

 

I'll think about it going forward. I wish I could change my twitter handle. I know you can change one part, but can't tell how to change the other part

 

Cest la vi

 

The company I'm interviewing with is a huge multinational, I know people that work there, and a dude that works there took his lunch break, met with a Craigslist hooker, who turned out to be a cop, got arrested, and still has his job

 

Then again, he was already employed by them, I'm not.

[SuitedAces21 2,723]

i'm just saying its natural to worry about your cyber footprint coming back to hurt you.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

Professionally, I completely agree. No argument here.

 

I guess my 8 years here has left a footprint or two.

 

Oh well, I got a job 3 years ago. Lets try again. All that's new would be my twitter account, which isn't bad. Pretty bland

It used to come up in one of the first results about me receiving the governors life saver award which was always cool, but that doesn't happen anymore. Now you have to dig super super deep to find anything personal about me via google. Or I"m just really bad at searching.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

I will concede to essay that a level of paranoia could sink in. I won't back off my criticism of your move, that was nameless twitter bs.

 

Enough of that.

 

Hope I can sleep tonight. I can dwell on stuff.

I think you need to do some advanced math. The difficulty of rising from 22 to 12 is far less than moving from 12 to 2. Even 12 to 7, maybe. Anyways, you need a new metric, with a snappy acronym.

[SuitedAces21 2,723]

i googled myself and found this: http://www.marshallnews.com/story/1071135.html

 

look at class 4 first team. that's right bitches.

[Tiltinagain 973]

I am usually always right though but I'll let it go cause a playa LIVES in the top ten and that's HELLA BOSS.

 

Woo hoo, top 10 out of 20! You go boy!

 

My gut says that even you can't be stupid enough to think I was actually ripping on you. EVEN YOU, Tilt. Not possible. That's my gut.

 

I know my gut doesn't have the meaty corpulence of Mexico's gut, but that's what it's telling me.

 

Am I correct?

 

Hmmm

 

Hey suited, if it makes you feel better, I tried to get sex last night and my wife turned me down. When she does it's usually because she has something planned for the next day and she doesn't want to be kept up (she can't sleep after sex, not because I take a long time). I asked her what she had to do this was her answer, verbatim.

 

"Well, I have to get up tomorrow...and have breakfast."

 

 

That's it. Nothing else, no dramatic pause. She couldn't have sex because 9 hours later she needed to eat.

 

That was hilariously funny and incredibly sad at the same time. I...don't even know what to say. Mostly because I don't want to talk shit about your wife.

 

Depressed that I had to unfollow ratemyginger

 

When I was looking for work I unfollowed everything that was suspect. Ended up with mostly sports stuff.

[Napa_Don 688]

I have something similar I guess but it's not as...flattering.

[SuitedAces21 2,723]

jesus, 103? did you go weeks without eating to get down to that?

 

edit: nevermind i thought that was when you were a senior. it makes more sense now, but still.

[Napa_Don 688]

I was like, 115 with 15%(?) bodyfat. So, yes, I would go days without eating to cut down. It was awful and I have no idea how I had that much willpower at 14 but not at 25. Also, I was like 5' tall.

[SuitedAces21 2,723]

we were young go-hards then. now we're just fat old losers who have to work all day. ronny feels me.

Week 5 Big Riser - TommyGavin81 (+11)

Week 5 Big Dropper - Quacktastic (-14)

 

Absolutely correct, I had a bland week. I think I'm going to try a yoga class or two. No more spinning.

 

This afternoon I figured out how to do something at work. It's a workplace triumph, no one in my immediate vicinity gets why I was happy, so I decided to take a walk outside. Like if no one's happy like me, I can at least be in the sunshine, right? Anyway, I was walking around the block and saw a midget. (I decided a couple of years ago that seeing midgets was my personal four leaf clover.)

 

 

I have a phone interview Thursday. Here's hoping I don't screw it up.

 

Good luck! Be a legend--do the interview in the character of Vinnie Van Lowe.

[Tiltinagain 973]

Indeed, good luck Ron. Although I must admit I don't understand how you would enjoy business to business sales more than what you're doing.

[Sickinfo2 291]

Flying home is a bust. Don't really want to risk having auto parts duct taped on a clapped out motor over water....

 

 

 

In the morning I'm headed to Guatemala. Gonna buy a vehicle and drive home. Always wanted to drive all the way through Mexico. Not Ron

 

 

 

Oh... I can't tell y'all bout it right now LOL! But Shane has a request for some cargo I plan on bringing home. He's standing by to meet me at an undisclosed border crossing. The vehicle, if it or I make it that far, will be abandoned on the Mexican side and he will bring me across. From there I meet the wife in Vegas.

 

 

 

I'm only concerned about the area in and around Mexico City. I have a plan for carjackers as well.

 

 

 

Between now and then ill be drinking and touring. Went diving today. Sunburn from hell on top of the noggin. When in the spotty service ill tweet random pics/vids. One will be the "cargo"

 

 

 

Hopefully border patrol hasn't made a connection between here and there....

 

 

 

 

Oh, I may have trench foot

hadn't googled myself in a while. i'm totally screwed. there are not one, but several, black men with what I thought was my rather unique name.

[The Ocho 970]

Someones shooting for King of the thread.

 

My wife still has to eat tomorrow.

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

tell her you think she's been eating too much lately and might want to start cutting back

[Napa Lite 3,279]

Hey Strat, can you figure out how to use your raspberry pi to connect to a gopro that we buy and somehow get to beans so he can live stream his adventure? I don't care how, just make it work.
