GM's Thread About Everything/GM's Thread About Nothing (6 Viewers)

This “dub style” band is wearing thin.  

I don’t want any of this lover’s lament crap. I want something peppy, something happy, something up-tempo. I want something snappy.

 
I'm almost 40. I feel like wearing sweatpants to a bar would be awesome. I've got no one to impress

2007 drunk thread me would kick the #### out of 2018 me

In general things are better right now, thanks.  Other than the cost of housing CA is cool, and our neighborhood isn't quite as "Stepford" as we feared it would be.  Overall, we enjoy it.  Mrs. 5 still hasn't found legit full-time work, which is a drag (especially for her), but given how the last couple years have been I'm trying to look at the bright side. 

The job is.....complicated.  For the most part I really like the folks I work with, particularly the team for my discipline.  Some genuinely good people at this studio.  Very welcoming.  Unfortunately, they've also had two rounds of layoffs since I started.  Small ones, and I avoided both thankfully, but it has not made me feel great about upper management's ability to land contracts.  It also has made the studio start to slowly bleed talent (particularly engineers), as I think many are antsy.  A few projects are winding down now and if things in the pipeline don't start getting buttoned up in the next few months I assume they'll be making another round of cuts.  Fingers crossed that a big project we've bid on will be coming in soon though, which would remove a lot of pressure fo' sho'.

We still need to have a beer. We're about 15 minutes apart

Swordfish?  Is this a euphemism or do you mean actual swordfish?  I haven't seen that on a menu in years, and actually commented a couple of months ago that I missed it.

Mrs. O has a friend we codenamed swordfish.  Not sure about her sweatpants outings though.

I was in the wealthy suburbs of Detroit. One guy was in his 30s with a very attractive lady in jeans and a button down shirt. The other guy was in his 50s with an also attractive (but had lots of work) woman who was in jeans and a very tight blouse. I hate going out and seeing people looking like they just rolled out of bed.

Yeah, that’s ok if it were teenagers, but not fully formed adults.  I blame the swordfish.

 
I'll admit to having gone in bars in sweats before, but a couple of caveats:

1. I have no taste for fashion

2. These are places like the local Moose Lodge where, at any given moment, I can either be the best- or worst-dressed there.

3. I'd never do that going to dinner or even for drinks at a place that doesn't have a whole-house fan.

 
The swordfish is abundant right now off the East Coast of FL.  No schtick.  Not sure why they're catching so many right now but every restaurant in town has it fresh and cheap.

LOOK AT ME!!   :D  

 I mean, it's not, I own an island that I can't get to...but it counts  

stick around dude

 
There's a damned fly in my house that I've spent way more time than I'd like to admit trying to get rid of. I've used all of my nifty flyswatter moves - including the dreaded backhand double-swat - all to no avail. If y'all see a smoke plume on the horizon, it's probably because of that fly.
