Just got contacted by an out of state firm in my field that wants to open an office here and is looking for someone to head it up.

Meeting the managing partner for drinks on Friday.

GL with the meeting. and drinking.I assume this could be a great opportunity?

Potentially. If it's right, I can make more money and stop commuting while at the same time getting out of a firm that's going to blow up within the next 6 months.

Daughter went to Fla. this morning for a regatta. She is a coxswain and to communicate with the rowers she wears what is called a cox box (Homer don't start). She sent the following text to me and the wife this morning:

Her: Just got a pat down by security and they rubbed my cox box with a weird stick.

Wife: Gross

Funny sense of humor those two :lmao:

How do you talk about this sport with a straight face?
Click to expand...
I can't. I tell everyone I have a petition started to change the name. You have to have a sense of humor to be able to deal with it. It sucked when she first started because people would say "she's a great cox!" I would just look at them and not say anything.

As far as the sport, it's actually pretty fun as everyone has a giant tent set up and cook out all day long. The other good thing is for college. Women's crew makes up a lot of the Title 9 requirements and most D1 programs have 20 scholarships to give out. They split them up amongst a lot of girls.

Is there more to it than yelling "stroke" every 1.6 seconds?

 
My wife loves to handle wildlife. Did some illegal manatee touching this morning. Saw a couple dolphins too, but we couldn't get close enough to potentially lose a finger.

I forget what the topic was but on local radio the other day this guy was talking about how he kept playing with this manatees belly button and it kept following him around so he'd keep tickling it

He told the guide and they told him manatees don't have belly buttons

Yes much more. They steer the boat with a cable. No one ever yells that either. Port, starboard, a whole bunch of stuff I can barely understand. Knowing the wind, currents, where your boat is in the pack etc. First time I heard my daughters voice was a recording she left open on the computer. I never would've known it was her either. She has a great resume and was recruited. There were proud father moments watching her take calls from different colleges. Also looking at her be recruited page and seeing all the D1 coaches looking at her page and bookmarking it. If you are a girl and are small and smart, I'd highly recommend giving it a try.

Neither of us finger-banged the sea cow.

I spent 5 minutes last week trying to figure out how to turn off/dim the lights in my summer school classroom before I finally realized that half of them were skylights.

 
My work partner and I have been left out of some training required to get the bonuses were contractually promised in October. We received the first installment, with the second to come after the training that apparently started without us a few weeks ago. I have remained calm, but assertive. So far.

So he was a man in a boat touching a little man in a boat?

 
I've refrained from posting about the many, many, deaths that I continue to unintentionally cause, here. There was a "service" for one of my GB's yesterday though that really has me sadder than I expected. Particularly for somebody that was 82. The "service" was at the bar in my old hood.

I'm posting about it here because I thought the GMTAN'ers could appreciate it. Jim, I always called him Uncle Jim because that's the kind of guy he was to me. He was an expert engineer for McDonnell Douglas and was able to retire at 55. He spent the next 27 years doing pretty much the same thing every day, at least until the final 5 years until his body couldn't handle it anymore. He woke up, golfed, and then went to the bar. Every day except the winter of course when he would skip the golf part. He was a heavy smoker at 3 packs a day. That's what he did though and he was happy. He was in our FF league until a few years ago when he bowed out. He told me he was rooting for me to win last year, even over his own blood nephew who was a really close second. That's my Uncle Jim.

What's really strange is how much I was thinking about him last week when I was on vacation. It kept going through my mind that the way I spent my days must be a lot like what it feels like to be him except instead of golfing I fished every morning. What I didn't know is that he was in the hospital that whole time, dying. He didn't show up to the bar on Monday so the bar owner knew something was wrong. So one of the other regulars went by his house and found him lying unconscious on the floor. He would die a week later.

He will forever be an inspiration, a reminder, to say fuck it and live life they way I want. What makes me happy. The bar will never be that same. I'll miss you Uncle Jim.

Thanks in advance, no need for well wishes. Again, it's a short version of somebody's life I thought you would all enjoy.

Live for today is my motto

 
Best thing on reddit today:

Q: what happened at the worst party you've been to?

[–]

At a birthday party for a 4 year old in my neighborhood, we (the parents and I) caught the clown masturbating in the kids bedroom holding a picture of the mom

Last word in that sentence could have been SOOO much worse.

 
Was just checking out what I thought was a 40-ish-year-old MILF at the 7-Eleven

I chuckled as the clerk asked her birthday when she was buying cigarettes and she said 1981 :mellow:
