Browser tab shtick opportunity wasted. Though I did have a proninja link still open (and unread). Drinks two and three are happening at the airport. Feel bad for frozen ifriends as I escape 62 degree dallas weather for 82 degree cancun weather.

I announced my daughter being successfully conceived after 4 years of fertility treatments in the Deadly Animal Draft. Years later, I started a thread about my wife leaving me a week before Christmas--GM, Cappy,Ditkaless Wonders and some others pretty much got me through that week. Had there been GMTAN back then, those would have just been posts in here.I got fired after 13 years with the same firm...after telling my GF and my ex-wife, GMTAN found out before the rest of my friends and family. I'm probably in for some version of this for the long haul. By the way, GM, I'm in Portland overnight next Wednesday, after happy hour with some of the people I'm interviewing with.

Shouldn't be too hard to head out to Monterey and gobble up a few thousand acres. I could kick in a few racks, if it means getting in on the ground floor.

Well that sucked. Did my driveway. Helped my neighbor. Lent the blower to the new guy that just moved in last week. Told him I would be drinking beer, take his time. He says I would join you but I gave up beer for lent. I'll have whiskey. Think I'm going to like this guy.

I'm ramping up the job search again (had not looked at listings in a few weeks) and saw a listing today for Deputy General Counsel at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Dream job. I'm unlikely to be considered qualified given I haven't done a lot of arts-related work, but might as well throw in a resume anyway.
Meanwhile, the Rye Brook guy is putting on a hard sell, which I have to admit feels very, very good. E-mailed me to tell me how excited the CEO and rest of management are to meet me.

Forgot to mention the flashy penises (band name).I did try to highlight things that wouldn't show up on my resume, like my volunteer work giving legal services to starving artists (I didn't describe it quite that way) and my former Board membership on some hoity-toity (GM sp?) arts organizations in Chicago. I was also an editor on the Journal of Law and the Arts in law school. I didn't mention I did my note on said journal on phone sex.

Who'd of thought there would be excessive drama when you get 15 women together, but you never know.There was lotsa drama after the Austin soccer team (the new pro team, many of whom are staying at AO) lost their first game last weekend vs. Texas A&M.
And evidently some things were said that cannot be unsaid and most of the team were fired.
So the owner has a match Saturday against the Monterrey Mexico team here in Austin and is at least a dozen players shot. The owner is super savvy on the business end of things and has sponsors flying in and it would really suck if she had to ancel.
So I spent all afternoon making alls in search of anyone who knew an in shape ready to play soccer woman who would be willing to suit up and give it ago on Sat at noon.
This may come as a surprise to many of you, but I don't usually hang out much with 20 year old soccer players, so its taken a couple of layers of networking to find the bodies we need.
Bentley's in my rolodex and sure enough he hooked me up with someone who knew someone.
There's a chance we may field a team in time.

Class Update:We're in a writing lab doing an exercise in description. They have to pick an image or Youtube video and describe it both objectively and subjectively. Crazy Outrageous Student raises his hand, calls me over to ask if he did it right. "Maybe you should read the description, then see the clip," he suggests with zero guile.So I read his description....of two sweaty people in an hotel room having sex. 
Thing is, it wasn't a gag. He thought it was totally appropriate.

Rent from Hertz, don't take the insurance. It's a REALLY easy drive to Playa.We went with a group of friends and one of them ended up doing most of the planning for our trip. Evidently she had the idea that since there were people all over the airport offering car rentals, it would be easy for us to get one once we go there.Do not do this.The seven of us, and our associated luggage for a one-week vacation, eventually (after about three hours of dicking around with shady rent-a-car guys) ended up crammed into an old Astrovan that did not have a working A/C.It wasn't my rodeo (and we were the only guerros) so I just went along with the group, but if I were doing it again I would go through a big chain before I just showed up. Get the insurance and make sure you've got everything ironed out ahead of time and you should be fine.Good info so far.Next question... has anyone rented a car in Cancun before? I wasn't planning to, but it's ridiculously cheap ($9/day). Are they going to make me a drug mule or something? My sister and her family will be in Playa, and driving there myself sounds better than paying for a 40 minute (each way) cab ride.

Still going.[asking a used car dealer about the difference in mileage between when he got a car one month earlier, and when he sold it]
"So that works out to about 20 miles per day for a month. Does that mean that you drove that car 20 miles every single day?"
This deposition is making me homicidal.
This attorney is two steps short of re tard ed, and he's stumbling forward. My stomach's growling and all I can think about is a martini. And I had to have my ex pick up my son from school and take him tonight so I can finish this damn thing tonight, which means I've spent one night with him since Sunday. FML

The questions are so ludicrous or so poorly posed, I have to object seriously, and it's 2-3 objections at least I could state to most of these questions. I've interjected plenty of pointed, sarcastic comments, but at this point I've got to let this moron finish and it's best I largely stay out of the way.Meanwhile, I've got the FFA, Facebook, texting, a court reporter who was probably cute 15 years ago, an overweight middle-aged Egyptian-American witness, an incompetent white boy defending him, an even more incompetent, pompous and obnoxious Asian attorney asking the questions, and a 27th floor window that's looking more and more attractive to me as a potential exit.I've never been in a deposition, but are there ways to amuse yourself (other than posting here) like interjecting ludicrous objections or some such?Still going.[asking a used car dealer about the difference in mileage between when he got a car one month earlier, and when he sold it]

I just hope my old law partner is still at work downtown for me to grab a drink with (he probably is as he's a night owl, but he may be busy).
Thanks GMTAN for keeping me (relatively) sane!

I can't even imagine doing that. It was my disgruntlement working in a law firm that led me to being an artist. It was 1991-3, and I was working for this public sector law firm in Sh(P)alo Alto. I had been working as a lead researcher, because I could read fast and summarize well. I used have log onto this wacky, pre-internet WestLaw system that cost the client like $90.00 per hour plus my time. At that time, in CA, you didn't have to have a law degree to practice law. If you passed the bar, and practiced with an attorney, you could practice some law under something called "reading law". The partners were encouraging me to do that because I was a billing machine.Then 1 weekend, I was full in the middle of some similar stupidity that you were, and I thought: this is stupid. I hate this. I am 22 years old, I have no wife, no kids, and I am in a job I hate that will only get worse- for the money.Still going.[asking a used car dealer about the difference in mileage between when he got a car one month earlier, and when he sold it]
