I Called In Sick Today


Recommended Posts

so the first day after it snowed, the roads were a little dangerous for a Camry, so I rode with my roommate. today, it was 8:30, 15 degrees outside, and my Camry had ice and still snow on it. so I rode with my roommate again. the girl that we suspect wants to date me happens to be walking out tonight when we were. gave me shit for being so lazy. I have been thinking about it, it just seems silly not to give it a shot, or at least befriend her. I guess I'm going to start emailing her tomorrow.

and after 3 days, he is risen!

If you are paying $20 for a haircut, I imagine people assume you did it yourself anyway.

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

If she's already making fun of you, it's probably okay to speak to her.

 

 

NAPA: That's a fun track, I'll have to give it some more listens. Most of Pusha's stuff isn't very good, with a few really good tracks mixed in amongst the mess. Without Pharrell doing the beats, he just ain't the same. Kanye is capable, but making music is probably like the 23rd most important thing to him right now, so I doubt he'd get a whole album out of it.

Skyped with 2 angel investors today.

Had porn open in a second window.

 

I know a guy whose dad was a producer on a certain Rodney Dangerfield flick. The stories he told about Rodneys coke use were almost hard to believe.

 

Today, I put on "I Don't Get No Respect" record which was released I think in 80 but recorded in 69. His act didn't have the bombast it did later on but comparing his 69 set to what he did on Carson n the 80s, you realize just how ****ing wired he was when he did the Tonight Show.

Frau, why is title important? You could put "Assistant Toilet Cleaner" on my business card if you were paying me 6 figures.

 

 

I'm bout dat check, boss"

 

I especially dont understand why the company would care. I would give someone the title of King if they wanted it. I don't give a s***, as long as you're a good employee.

 

You want to be CEO? Ok. Now go make that ****ing blizzard.

I'm worried about this company, Tilt. There is a reason most companies don't hand the reins to an unknown person and then not provide accountibilty for him/her.

 

Maybe you hit the jackpot though. It sure seems like it.

 

I have zero concerns about the company. And I was not an unknown. Six out of the eight territory managers all worked for the same company at some point so we all either knew or knew of each other. The COO, the one that first reached out to me has a stellar reputation and everything he's worked on has turned to gold.

 

To Rons point, the owner is who I report to and his philosophy has been to hire proven people then stay out of their way and let them do what's made them successful.

 

As long as the payroll checks keep cashing...

 

And also that the car/credit card arent in Tiltys name.

 

First check has been cashed and the car and gold Amex are decidedly not in my name.

my roommate wanted 'senior' in front of his current title, and my company shot him down saying "we don't do business that way" insinuating that they don't sell personalities when it comes to who is making investment decisions. they then immediately gave that exact title to someone else in a different area of the company. I was delighted.

Brvy's not lying. He said that exact phrase to me.

 

Brvy let me sit in on an interview once and the kid was giving your typical BS interview answer about something and Brvy stopped him and was said something to the effect of "look, I know you don't want to work here forever. You don't need to lie to me about wanting to work here awhile when you know you're graduating in a few months. I just need to know if you'll show up and work hard when you're supposed to". I about lost it.

 

 

 

Do we need to send authorities to do a wellness check on Essay? That was an AP level beating they took last night.

 

 

THERAFLU ONLY

 

Did you not like the last Pusha album? I thought it was one of the best of last year. I still listen to it on occasion. And Kanye's been doing a lot of producing lately (like four Big Sean tracks! Big Sean!! And even more miraculously he didn't suck on them!). I really like this new song though.

 

Also, on a new rec league basketball team this year. Team name is "Ball Don't Lie". We got jerseys and everything.

The title I want is still in play--they are also interviewing consultants, and in all the conversations and flopsweat, they've told me one of the possibilities is

 

I do the work

I get the title "blizzard maker"

I probably don't get the money I want

Org brings in "senior blizzard maker" within six months, and I have new report

 

From my pov, I'm expected to do all the work, not all of the pay, with the promise of having my balls cut off in six months.

 

RM, I think the title will help with next gig.

This is definitely accurate from the employee's point of view.

 

I also agree with you on your general disdain for where this seems to be heading. It's bullcrap that they know that you can do the work but won't give you the job.

 

I don't get that.

 

You need to start putting in apps.

I actually only listened to the last album a couple times through. Unless I come home Sunday night after a few strong beers, I don't usually subject the wife and child to loud hip hop in the house, and I have a 4-5 minute commute, so there's not a lot of time on there. I've had to work to get the RTJ going, but I missed out on a lot of stuff from the Kanye crew over the last couple years. I'll try to give...My name is my name (?) another shot or two.

 

Church.

Preach.

 

I'm blessed (thanks brvy!) in that I can listen to my iPod all 8+ hours I'm at work because I don't really have a lot of human interaction and so I listen to a lot of stuff. And also I can go home and put on some music while I just sit around in the living room in the dark. I usually listen to music the first four hours of the day as I'm waking up and then podcasts in the afternoon. It's a nice system.
