Ugh. That ####### blows SLB. So sorry for your loss. How far away are they? Is a cab or someone dropping you off a possibility?

Sometimes I think I like too many people. I don't know. I love all of you #######s. Maybe there's a trend here.Anyway, how about that local sports team!

33 miles. I could make it work, have place(s) to stay but she thought it best if I come by tomorrow morning after they identify. I'll be there. I have to tell you, I'm in shock myself. I can tell because I'm typing and not crying.

Sorry, here's my favorite Pope joke. I can tell it bettter...
The Pope just finished a tour of the East Coast and was taking a limousine to the airport. Since he'd never driven a limo, he asked the chauffeur if he could drive for a while. The reluctant chauffeur pulled over along the roadside, climbed into the back of the limo, and the Pope took the wheel. The Pope then merged onto the highway and accelerated to over 90 mph to see what the limo could do.
Suddenly, the Pope noticed the blue light of the State Patrol in his side mirror, so he pulled over. The trooper approached the limo, peered in through the windows, then said, "Just a moment please, I need to call in."
The trooper called in and explained to the chief that he had a very important person pulled over for speeding. "How do I handle this, chief?" asked the trooper. "Is it the Governor?" questioned the chief. "No! This guy is even more important!"
"Is it the President?" asked the chief.
"No! Even more important!"
"Well, who the heck is it?" screamed the chief.
"I don't know, sir," replied the trooper, "but he's got the Pope as his chauffeur."

So sorry SLB. You've had a tough run. Sucks for such a good guy.
Feels cliche breaking out the cliches (I was going to edit this but figured I'd leave it because, it's like... deep man. F'n booze) but it's true that what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Everybody has to deal with death at some point in their life. For you, it's been too much, too young but later on in life when it starts to weigh on everybody, you'll have a better perspective on it than most, I think. Not much comfort in that now, I suppose.
Hang in there.

The wife and I are sending Ts & Ps to you Bob. We're having a rough day here too as one of her students committed suicide today. As the school social worker she can't show the emotion until she gets home, the students need her. So she was in rough shape by the time I got home from work
Then she had to work a Leonard Cohen concert tonight at her 2nd job. The hits just keep coming
I hope the last 2 sentences got a small chuckle at least.

Worst month in sports. When I watch spring training MLB I feel like a convict trying to get off to droopy boobies in National Geographic.
Ack. Sorry to hear Bob. Chin up as best you can.

Although I don't really care about college sports at all, TBH. I didn't go the traditional route through college (spent six years in the Army then worked full time to put myself through school), so I missed out on the whole "experience". I wish I could get into it... folks really seem to love it.

When my son was about 2, we were eating at a local pizza joint. I took him into the lou and noticed one urinal was really low. I was excited, so I showed him how to use it. After he was finished, I turned around to wash my hands. As I'm washing, I hear him ask, 'Daddy, what's this?' I turn back around to see him showing me the urinal cake with a big grin on his face. After I dry-heaved for a second, I smacked it out of his hand, washed his hands 13 times, then went back to the table and emptied a travel bottle of hand sanitizer on him, up to his elbows.Good times.

So sorry, Bob. Hopefully, you really don't think this stuff ##### this thread up. I'm sure nobody would have a problem anytime you need to vent.

LOL at the urinal ice melting contest.

I almost whizzed on a kid next to a urinal last night. For work we had a big giveaway night at a minor league hockey game. A co-worker's 10 year old son was "helping" us and he ended up hanging around with me most of the night, I bought him a pretzel and then we went into a crowded men's room and I told him to stay close to me.......and well, he almost got too close.

Yesterday I weighed in at 158, which is the heaviest I've been. I'd like to say it's due to the new diet and workout program I'm doing, but I'm pretty sure joining The Beer Spot is 4-5 pounds responsible. Viva la cervezas, mofos!

Decent start... the layout is clean and formatting is consistent. I would get rid of "references available upon request" and make all of the bullets begin with action verbs. Don't repeat your actions... You have "Organized..." twice and "Assisted..." twice. Rewrite these.Under "Audit Intern" your "gained experience" sentence is missing a bullet. I would also rewrite that, removing the phrase "gained experience". It's superfluous.
"Built relationships" doesn't mean anything. Did you play a pivotal/leadership role here?
What were the results of your investment strategy? How did the fund perform when you were manager?

Thanks guys. Just got home. I've had WAY too many grown men crying in my arms lately. (Make your own jokes.) I think Dylan/Hendrix had it right. Life is but a joke. I hope with every fiber of my being that there is something better on the other side.
I think I've told this story before but maybe not. Mrs. SLB didn't hear it until last night for the first time and she knows, well as much as she needs to, pretty much everything about me.
When I was 13 I got this dream job at a baseball card store. I was in there all the time and I knew my ####, mostly, I wanted to make money. So he hired me on to help him out on a part time basis. Needless to say, there is a lot of down time in such an enterprise so we talked a lot. His outlook on life was that we are in hell now and the only way we get to move on was to be good otherwise you keep getting reborn into this world. Sort of Hinduism I guess. The place wasn't close to my house so my Mom had to drive me there. So when I got my license I would pop in from time-to-time to say hello. I stopped in when I was 17 to learn he died of a heart attack. This guy, Bill, wasn't overweight or anything in the least either. RIP brother Bill. More and more I think that he was right.
At the very least, when I left my GB's were laughing. I can't even tell you what I said, I was on autopilot. At least they got to laugh today for a little while.

You're a good man, Bob. I'm glad you made it there, as miserable as that was. I think you helped make a difference, and I hope part of that was helping to remind everyone of the good times with your late friend.Thanks guys. Just got home.

Thanks my brothers.I just came back to say how much I love all of you guys. I really do. You all help remind me that there is a lot of good in this world.Also, I had lunch with a client that looks a lot like our little YSR. She said she hates her husband and wishes she was divorced. She hugged me hard when we left. Pretty sure I could have made out with her. Homer<
