GM's thread about nothing (11 Viewers)

[Abraham]

How pissed off should I be that an employee I fired in April of 2011 disconnected from me on linked in last week and now has a profile saying she worked for me until the end of 2012 and accomplished a bunch of stuff that she never did. She is a thief and a liar and considering the trouble I'm having with the business, I'm rubbed the wrong way for some reason that she's using it as a prop for her otherwise ####ty résumé.

I feel your pain GB.

Speaking of Germany, I found out something interesting about my ENT. This guy has a thick German accent and frankly quite awesome. He cusses and yells at the nurses, in a funny way, and isn't afraid to say it like it is. He's about 70 I guess. Anyhow, Mrs. SLB told me he grew up in Argentina. Interesting.

 

[kevzilla]

How come they have all black guys and Bryant Gumbel as the break down people?

They had Doug Gottlieb last night. He pointed out that he was there for "much-needed diversity". He's not there now.

Are you sure he's only 70?

He might be a few years older. I do know he makes frequent trips back to the Fatherland because he told me so. He also likes to ride his Harley. ETAJust checked his healthgrade, he's 77.

It's nothing "bad", just dishonest. For example, she says she was named "sales rep of the year" for 2010 and we don't have awards like that. Says she consistently exceeded quotas, which she didn't have. Says she generated business from 100 new accounts when in two years she received pos from maybe 6. Under her side business (a handbag company) she talks about opening a successful retail establishment....which she did in an office space I was paying for that was supposed to be for our work. It wouldn't hurt anything to let it go. And I would rather not talk to her again anyway. Just makes me mad that she thinks it is clever to deconnect and think I won't notice all the profile changes made right after. Hey moron, I can still see your profile since you are connected to all of our other employees still.

Out of the loop but congrats Krista on the life change. Sounds amazing.

Hating my job a bit lately and can understand. Just back from Puerto Rico. The whole time there I contemplated was I could move the family there and start up some remote business or patent practice and never return to my regular life. I'm way too risk averse to do it; that's the rub.

Speaking of rub, I recently discovered Tiffany Thompson and lord is she hot. (Not the singer, but the,um, actress).

Sometimes it feels like this world is spinning much too fast. It is in those times I take comfort in the fact that Mr. T is still Mr. T.

On the other hand, he DID vomit three times in the car on the way to drop him off. He also sh-t all over the carpet in her car. I think he used to work with K4.

And thanks for your positive outlook on my feng shui friends. You're really

People with kids can understandably not take a leap.That being said, if you wanted...1. Rejected an offer for a crazy-lucrative one-year assignment in NY for a company everyone wants to work for.2. Have the crazy-lucrative Houston issue to stay many months with all-expenses paid and a big salary.3. My job will pay me crazy hourly salary to do what I was doing except the managing people part that is PITA.4. Friend to whom I mentioned #3 says his firm would love to have me and has a practice of "establishing" satellite offices. Would pay a lot to have me fill in on big projects when they need something.IN sum, if you wish to make this crap work, it'll work.

Are you sure he's only 70?

Are you sure he is not a Nazi that hid in Argentina and is now living in the US under an assumed alias?

I have plenty of whiskey,vodka & beer if you want to come over. Mrs. SLB is going to sleep and I'm bored.

I finally got around to trying out the magical cryogenically treated razor blades. I usually run through blades pretty quickly and the quality of the shave deteriorates to the point that after the third shave or so the blade is pretty much done and I end up hacking away at my face. Not only do Bob's blades last longer (just threw away the first one and I'm right around the one month mark ) but my goodness, it was the closest, smoothest, bestest shave I've ever had. Magical indeed

What's this now? Link and/or directions?

 

[Uruk-Hai]

I hate that he has to be so isolated for the next two weeks. He is already going nuts up there even though it is an entire room to himself. (Second office room)

One of my ex-wives and I owned a horse farm. 20 stalls, plenty of acreage, indoor riding arena, etc.. (look at me). Anyway, having cats in a setting like that helps a lot as mice & rats can run wild. My wife got a line on a group that would rescue cats from demolished buildings in DC. We had two kittens delivered who were, for all intents and purposes, feral. We had to isolate them into the tack room for 2 weeks to ground them.

My link I don't use shaving cream and do my face and head every day. One razor lasts me a month at least.

Sadly, that's even over a decade too late. I considered contacting them and asking for my own promo code to give referrals so they would get a discount and me a couple of bucks. I'm thinking a 3-3 split would be fair.

My GB that has taken a job at the Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati just called. :stufficantmention:

Anyhow, he's a short stocky bald guy that looks like somebody you don't want to #### with. He's a pit boss for the craps tables. You cincy degenerates tell him I said hi, he know about you and would think it's funny.

Do you have a sportsbook account or an ability in some way to play baseball player props? Like, Descalso NO run -170 kind of stuff?

Colindate:

Had a 2nd interview today. It went really well. I feel a lot better about the possibilities moving forward than I did after the first interview. The head of their US operations told me I'd be moving forward in the process next week.

And I'm sort of dreading going in to work tomorrow because it's the first day working under the guy I really don't want to work for. I'm starting to think this job opening at this time might be a good thing. Now I just need to figure out how much $ to ask for.

Edit: They might want to pay me to fine tune my Spanish (read: undo a decade of neglect) and I might get some international travel out of the deal in Mexico/central/south America and Taipei.

Pro tip: When in doubt, ask for more.

I tried that last week and didn't even get a counter.

Did you do it with a rebel yell?

Was "half again as much" an unfamiliar expression to anyone else? If not, please help me see how it's an upgrade over saying "50% more". TIA.

Do you also have trouble with meeting me at dark thirty Friday week?

Yes, yes I do.

Is your problem with the vernacular or the possibility of buttsex?
