I Called In Sick Today

[JubilantLankyLad 1,957]

Oh Jesus. Your cookies look like shit

You know you want 'em.

[iClint 61]

Well, I'm gonna go eat a rack of ribs at a good BBQ joint here in town.

[hank213 1,823]

Opinions can be wrong too.

 

 

 

 

12 pack for $10; I looked it up. 12 is a convenient number if I'm trying to beat Hank, but it's not worth paying $30 to do it. Plus, that's over 6,000 calories, which is 3x the amount of 40 nuggets.

 

well this was back in high school when i weighed a buck thirty dripping wet and could eat a veritable rhino and not gain an ounce. i remember before a big speech i had to give at an awards ceremony mom and i went out to eat at a local cafe. it was kind of a big deal because it was "breakfast night" since we didn't have a denny's/ihop/perkins etc. i ate 3 eggs over, bacon, sausage, toast, pancakes, hash browns, 2 oj, then followed that up with the open face hot roast beef with mashed potatoes. people were watching me eat, waiting for me to puke but i finished it off, had a slice of chocolate pie and knocked 'em dead at my speech. i think if i tried to do something like that now it would take an act of brv to wake me from the food coma.

[Cha! Cha! 628]

I'm still aghast at Ron.

 

I think his #1 overall ranking will be in serious jeopardy after this week.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

Oh fck right off. It's Mexican food. It isn't the best. Don't like Indian either.

 

It's not like its better than a great steak.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

My comment about fcking right off was in jest.

 

 

[Cha! Cha! 628]

Enjoy looking up to Shake next week.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

Someone has gotten power happy.

 

I reject your ranking system. REJECT EM

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

perhaps if Indian were as ubiquitous as Mexican I would feel differently, but I strongly believe Indian is on a different level.

[Napa Lite 3,278]

I was kidding about the rack of ribs, Strat. I know you were silently judging. Went with a grilled chicken sandwhich and a beer. Sue me, I didn't eat lunch today and Im an alcoholic.

[Napa Lite 3,278]

Sitting at the bar. Bartender won't stop talking to me. It like, dude, just let me drink and eat alone. You're gonna get tipped well regardless. This shit ain't coming out my pocket.

 

Oh, Tilt, we pay for everything and then just submit it in an expense report with our weekly timecard and then just ask for a check whenever we want it. I usually do about once a month or whenever "due me" gets above $1,000. This weeks nice because I get to drive for once and will put on 1,000 miles at $0.56/mile, it adds up.

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

my experience was basically: the stuff people say is awful and should be avoided at all costs (carbs) just makes it harder to keep your limits and still want to do any physical activity. doesn't mean you CAN'T eat fries and should feel bad when you do, just, don't let it break you down and start cheating routinely because you are perma-hungry.

[SuitedAces21 2,722]

ronny really nutshelled my life there with those two posts. it was efficient and accurate. but i hate him for it.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

I really didnt want it to seem mean spirited because there isn't one ounce of genuine meanness behind it, I assure you.

 

 

I know there are plenty of positive things we don't know about you.

 

 

Enough of me being nice

 

 

AC is back up and running. I wanted to leave the window unit in for a night and have the room like an icebox. I lost that vote 1-1

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

I like cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, as long as it's not blowing directly on my face. dries my eyes out, which already tend a little toward dryness anyway. I would let you icebox the shit out of our room, mexico.

[iClint 61]

First thing I do when I get to the hotel is turn the ac all the way down. Summer or winter. I sleep with my windows open in the winter (I shut the heater vents to my room). I have a fun blowing on me at home during the summer because my roommate doesn't like to run the ac below 72. I run hot at night.

[Napa Lite 3,278]

Also, that album is crazy good Strat. I've been listening to it nonstop since you told me it leaked. Also NPR has it streaming on a website. Namely "Live For". I like cheesy songs like that. Makes me think that I might be able to make something if my self yet.

 

Also, "belong to the world" is awesome.

[BigDMcGee 3,352]

 

 

 

nope, never been. this was a place down in hays america. now i love the grease bomb assburner that is deleon's.

 

I love DeLeons. Nothing I like better in the morning than a Chorizzo special burrito

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

I think the thermostat stays at about 74 year round in my house. I get a little warm in the summer because I keep my door closed and have a computer running. self-inflicted, kind of, but my parents are always stopping by to harass me if I don't have it closed.

 

speaking of getting harassed. most of my group was out of the office today, yet I was still interrupted at least 10 times by people who had questions relating to work not in any way involving me. I kind of want to get promoted high enough so some of these people start to fear me and question whether they should be bothering me with this random shit.

 

I sound like a hermit. but seriously, emailed the shit out of that girl today. mmm hmm.

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

probably one of my favorite FCP moments was when Bob mentioned how FCP business meetings started to close with people speculating on how Sickinfo2 would parody the idea they were kicking around. that account name and photo is just genius.

[Sickinfo2 291]

I just hate the "oh, somebody is gonna see me and make fun of me". That is the dumbest shit ever

 

 

 

For the ones like myself that strive to be the one at the center of attention for being made fun of, I agree wholeheartedly....

 

 

 

Example: Earlier today I was standing in a super long line at the DMV to renew some car tags. Poor old lady in her eighties was in front of me. I was browsing craigslist for seventies camaros. She dropped her cane. I politely picked it up and handed it back. It was one of those damn things you see on the infomercials that have three suction cups at the bottom that supposedly stand up by themselves. Anyway, it fell over again within seconds. I picked it up again and stood it up beside her. That got the crowd behind us giggling. She was embarrassed. About a minute later as she was gathering up her paperwork and about to leave the counter, it fell over again. That got an even bigger reaction from the crowd. What did I do? Yeah, I picked up the cane, picked her up like a child, and toted her all the way outside and into her car....

 

 

 

Three minutes later I re-entered the building to grand applause. Since I was next in line behind granny and I left my position to escort her to the car, I took a bow and went back to the end of the line. That got a huge reaction. Folks started yelling, "NO! NO! NO! YOU GET BACK UP THERE!"

 

 

 

Most people would be plagued by that sorta attention. Not I. To keep the energy going I waited for the crowd to simmer a second and exclaimed, "IM PAYING TAGS FOR THE NEXT THREE PEOPLE IN LINE!"

 

 

 

So my mission to tag one vehicle turned into four. Cost me an extra hundred and five bucks. It was well worth the story

 

 

 

 

And no, my threat to walk out on the bill lead to no discount....

 

 

 

Every year on the first day of school, my mom made me chocolate chip cookies. And when I got home from school, I could eat as many of them as I wanted. Some traditions are good to uphold.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dammit.... how the hell are you sneaking those pics. Nobody else knew the wife made pancakes this morning....

 

 

 

 

 

Oh fck right off. It's Mexican food. It isn't the best.

 

 

 

 

I can even comprehend this enough to comment....

 

 

 

 

Someone has gotten power happy.

 

I reject your ranking system. REJECT EM

 

 

 

 

 

Just ignore my upcoming re-election speech then...

 

 

 

 

 

I have a fun blowing on me at home during the summer.

 

 

 

 

Damn.... the fleshlight just arrived and an upgraded model is available?

 

 

 

Details, son. Details....

 

 

 

 

 

Not one place of business today tried to run me down and lower their price after a threat to walk out. Even at the liquor store when I bickered with the guy at the window and drove around the building twice. Same price every time.

 

 

 

 

Im at a loss. Somebody needs to share the secret to the method pronto. Hopefully before someone dies. Id really like to use it on a funeral home...

[Tiltinagain 973]

I don't think I could do 35 tacos, even small street tacos or something like that.

 

Does Taco Bell sell big boxes of tacos like McDonald's does with their nuggets?

 

Good god, no way. Just out of high school I woked with a good friend of mind and on the way home every day we'd stop off at this place called Taco Tree. Very much like Taco Bell only good. Anyway, we'd order 4 bean and cheese burrito's each then go home and have dinner. It took 2 packets of hot sauce per burrito and we'd get the funniest looks when we'd ask for 16 hot sauces. Never could eat super large quantities in one sitting though.

 

I don't like tacos. Or Mexican food really

 

 

 

So, Sunday, do I venture out to the bar and enjoy some suds and my game, along with the other 1pm games or do I keep it chill at the house and just watch the game on the 60"? Tough decision

 

It's like you're talking Chinese or something.

 

The football thing depends on how into the games you are. I like to watch at home because I want to hear the announcers and be able to focus on the game. If it's not as important to you, the bar is the way to go for atmosphere.

 

Sitting at the bar. Bartender won't stop talking to me. It like, dude, just let me drink and eat alone. You're gonna get tipped well regardless. This shit ain't coming out my pocket.

 

Oh, Tilt, we pay for everything and then just submit it in an expense report with our weekly timecard and then just ask for a check whenever we want it. I usually do about once a month or whenever "due me" gets above $1,000. This weeks nice because I get to drive for once and will put on 1,000 miles at $0.56/mile, it adds up.

 

That works but it sucks that you're essentially lending the company $1,000 a month interest free. Nice pay back on the mileage though.

 

First thing I do when I get to the hotel is turn the ac all the way down. Summer or winter. I sleep with my windows open in the winter (I shut the heater vents to my room). I have a fun blowing on me at home during the summer because my roommate doesn't like to run the ac below 72. I run hot at night.

 

This is me exactly. In Spokane, even if it was low single digit temps, we had the window open. And our bed was right under the winder. Best sleep ever.

 

Here I keep the A/C at 75 during the day and turn it down to 72 at night if it's not cool enough to open the windows. If it is cool enough we have a window fan to bring the air in then another fan blowing on us. That fan runs whether the A/C is on or not. I too am a furnace when I sleep.

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

What's all this walkout stuff?

 

 

 

Registering my car here costs $72. So that woulda been a bi pricier in FL. What woulda been funny is if the old lady you picked up lost her shit and hit you with the cane.

[Sickinfo2 291]

probably one of my favorite FCP moments was when Bob mentioned how FCP business meetings started to close with people speculating on how Sickinfo2 would parody the idea they were kicking around. that account name and photo is just genius.

 

 

 

What?

 

 

 

 

I do still have a pm from infoone or two saying that everytime they concoct an event they expect and wonder what my parody of it will be. To be truthful about it I never cared one way or another. Just like every other avenue of my existence it was way more fun to be on the outside making fun. Im just here for entertainment. Mostly for my own but if I can make someone laugh once in a while thats a bonus. Love me or hate me. I dare anyone to forget me

 

 

 

 

Ill be drinking and welding if anyone needs me...

[Ron_Mexico 4,219]

You're right Tilty, all that goes on at a bar distracts me from really watching the game. As does the loads of beer. Some bars in South FL would have the Dolphins game volume up. Not as much up here.

 

True on Napsy (not sure why nappy autocorrected to Napsy but I like it) giving them a $1k loan every month. I would guess he sees that money as a but of a bump because it trickles out and them lump sums back in. It's a fun illusion.

 

Will always blast a hotel ac. Keep it at 74 at home. Lady doesn't love it much cooler. Had I dated her 10 years ago, we wouldn't have lasted. She was a 78-79 gal. No way. We don't get a ton of winter up here but I like the windows cracked. Blood is thinning a little lately. Just so not used to anything below the 60s, 40 feels harsh
