GM's thread about nothing (27 Viewers)

Great tweet from Dave Chapelle (retweeted by Tre):

"Congrats to Lebron James for getting engaged, his fiancé now leads the family with 1 ring.”

 
My GB bet me $50 on O/U 100 yards passing for Tebow. I took the over.

For the record, Dave Chappelle is not on Twitter

So I've worked at the same company for 12 years, since I was 21. I started as a part time dock worker while going to school and now my current title is Corporate Manager of Warehouse Operations. Fancy title, I know. Another manager was my [psycho] sister's best friend. I was hired by our current VP of Operations, whom I played softball with at the time I was hired. I have numerous personal connections within this company. I make decent enough money, but not FBG money. I also have incredible job security. I have been told by the owners that I can/will be corporate president in 25 or so years if I continue on my current track..

That said, I've been unhappy there for quite some time. I want to apply to another company but am hesitant to even submit my resume. It might be a step down, title-wise but I may need the change. How do you folks who change jobs pull the trigger when you're personally invested?

 
First 30 minutes were spent this way. I paid a bill, I wadded up the bill, I threw it on the floor, baby took it and played with it. Had about 10 wadded up pieces of paper. Enthralling.

Now what?

NFL: why couldn't you just adopt the NCAA overtime rules instead of this asinine system you have now?What wacky overtime rules. :crazy:

Why not just say, "If the first team scores a field goal, the opponent gets an opportunity to tie or win" instead of two minutes of BS?The rule is fine
 
Well, very soon, I'm mixing up his supper and hoping to lay him down for a 14 hour nap. I was able to get him to fall asleep last night on the coast WITH his mom and my wife there, so the dry run was a success.

Does anybody play online poker anymore?

Couldn't help it. Low hanging fruit has always been my favorite.I sent wife and SIL to the Blazers game tonight and offered to take my 10 month old nephew for the night. Let them have some fun; give my SIL a break. She's been going nonstop with her son since 3am on Friday morning...her son has been mostly very good, but he is teething and had a rough first night out here. Plus I'm hoping for a double team later.

Would you be satisfied if they changed your title to "Jesus Christ of Warehouse Operations"?
 
I lost $150 on the games today before going to a fraternity alumni pre-BCS party thing at one of the local bars. I had forgotten that I bought a square before the season in this crazy season long football squares thing. Ended up walking out with $600 which I will put towards my ticket for the game tomorrow. No way I'm not getting in there :banned:

Meh, I'm 32. That would mean I would have to die this year right?

Your memory and title will be eternal. The sacrament of christ would be cheese from here on out.

It sounds like you are close enough to these people that you could be up front (to a degree) and tell them you think you need a sabbatical. You've been there since HS and just think everyone would be better off if you left for a year or two. Maybe that way the door wouldn't be shut when you return, horrified at what the American workplace has become.

Yes I'm very close to them but a sabbatical is not in the cards. The last manager that put in her two weeks was escorted out the door (in an office of 25 people) because our "higher-ups" didn't want her messing with any accounts. And anyone who quits will not be approved for re-hire. Trust me, I know it is beyond stupid but that's what I've witnessed in the past 12 years.Plus if I were to take an actual sabbatical I couldn't float it. 2 years into our house, new car, baby on the way....It's either all-in or fold :shrug: :kicksrock:

Honestly, with a new baby on the way I saw you stay. Uncertainty is a son of a birch. Revisit these thoughts in a few years if you can.

yeah good point. Better have a solid offer before jumping ship.

I am goign about this on the sly right now. I'm struggling just to submit my resume. If I get an offer that's a whole-nother round of doubt.ETA I was just asking how people seem to change jobs willy nilly and never give a second thought to their former employer. I have time and extremely close ties to my current employer.
