Tanner.

I am completely dumbfounded by the people who say they envy your job.

When you write about it I can't imagine much I'd hate more than that. But that's the point, the reason you NEED to be doing what you're doing. Most of us couldn't take it. Most of us couldn't stand dealing with much of the bull#### you do. In order to do that, you have to be dedicated. You have to be good at what you do. You have to care.

Sure, there are people in your profession that don't have that. Take my brother...please. There are people who are narcissistic or lazy or both or worse, and enter the field for the wrong reasons. And there are plenty of people that think you're overpaid or underworked or whatever. But do you think that's different from most other professions? I'm a lawyer, for chrissakes. We have Hamline graduates and others bringing us down, and we're only slightly above used-car salesmen on the respect scale. It's not to make light of your situation, but everyone hates everyone, when it comes down to it, often with good reason.

So when you get to what's important, to me it's that, as Donna Summer or Cicely Tyson said, the children are our future. By that, I mean that we are a country and a world full of really stupid people, and if folks like you leave the profession, we become even more stupid in future generations. As I get older and even less patient, if I have to get behind people who are even more stupid in the ATM line, I'm likely to become like the face-eating guy in Miami. And really do we need more non-consensual face-eating in this world?

Seriously, we need good people, smart people, caring people like you to do what you do. It's just about the hardest job I can think of, one that the vast majority of us couldn't do. Since as I understand it, you get about 16 months off per year, couldn't you use your down time to do something that would add to the family coffers in a meaningful way? I'd think where you are that there are such opportunities, or of course there's Nicaraguan real estate management. :)

 
My wife basically destroyed her ankle at her running class today to the point where by the time she got home she was basically bawling from the pain. I made her do a shot of bourbon. Now she's on the couch with an ankle brace and heat pack, but having a glass of wine and hasn't stopped talking in like 40 minutes.
Heat pack? Ice it, dumb###.
She's a big fan of the alternating ice/heat thing.

Is this unusual?

I spent way too long and way too many takes making a shot video for Bogart only to have the vid blocked by YouTube for copyright infringement :kicksrock:Tre > blog it up?I'm a little drunk now
:goodposting: :goodposting: :goodposting: This shot video was beyond epic. It had a little bit of everything.I had plans of my own shot video from the bar last night, but just about the time we were going to order shots, big weather came in, chased everyone off the patio and my group disbanded for their cars. Planning celebration party, part deux, shortly, which may or may not be at a strip club. Going to try and pull off a PG-13 shot video there as soon as we go.

:lmao:I was pouring doubles and I think it took 3 takes to make a good video. I was ko'd on the couch before 11. Be careful at the gentlemen's establishment. They typically don't like vids as much as we do. Congrats again

Dude just boarded the plane and headed straight for the bathroom. Spent at least 5 minutes in there and then came out with a somewhat worried look on his face. Needless to say, I'll wait til we land if I have to go to the bathroom

What if he pooped out a bomb?
 
Exciting times here at the office. A company-wide email went out this morning regarding phishing to about 120,000 people. Several people replied all and now were up to about 75 emails, half of them saying "I got that phishing email, too" and half saying "Stop replying all".

:lmao:If I ran a company, I would fire the idiots who can't figure out email and keep hitting "reply all" to say that a group email sent out to the entire company by mistake has nothing to do with them and to please remove them.

If you ever run a company hire me and I will do that for you. I will be like the George Clooney character in "Up in the Air". "Scott, the reason I've called you here is that you position at Long Division Inc is no longer tenable. Mainly because of your inability to understand the difference between 'reply' and 'reply all' and when they should be used..."

I am sure if he tells them "This for a bunch of guys on the internet" they will let him film a shot.

I am completely dumbfounded by the people who say they envy your job.
I meant, I think most people meant, the time off, not the job itself. I go insane after being around my own kids too long. I can't imagine being around 30 of them every day. I would be eating faces in no time.As far as the ATM, I've never done it but I imagine being the 3rd or 4th in line would stink.

:lmao: Our senior pictures were only accompanied by what sports or clubs we were involved in. Dickmittens left mine off.
