GM's thread about nothing (11 Viewers)

Headed to Corpus Christi tomorrow to kick off a media campaign around driving safety in the oil & gas industry. Going to do a few radio shows, interview with the local paper and then MC a luncheon for a bunch of our policyholders in the area. None of this is particularly interesting but I did have one of them dirty dreams last night about our PR consultant that's going on the trip with me. Somebody remind me to take it easy on the booze at the hotel happy hour tomorrow.
This reminds me: about three nights ago, I dreamed that a group of GMTANers was driving to Vegas in a 15-passenger van. Tre was driving, and I know that there some other great details that I tried to remember, but I lost them. The one thing that has stayed with me, though, is Homer asking me/the group, "so it's safer if the sex is only 90 seconds, right?"No ideas on this one.
Hey, it's kept me relatively disease-free for 25 years. :thumbup:

Oh and when Tre is driving, he just sips on big glasses of bourbon, right?

Homer is the Spotswood of sexual congress
I don't know what this means, but hopefully this Spotswood character is some sort of racecar driver. :drive:

 
And in the "My boss hates me" news, I've been on my best behavior the last couple of weeks. :grad:

Bartending while sober is still better than 95% of jobs out there, but it's not nearly as good as bartending while slightly hammered.

Driving safety rules (at least in our oil fields):

1. Don't back up

2. Don't back up

3. Don't back up
Those apparently might also do as PR consultant safety rules.

 
I've done nothing today and have nothing of note to add.

About to watch "Game of Dragons" and then the Mad Mens

Dark wings...dark birds.

:thumbup:
It's GAME OF THRONES! GAME OF THRONES! Dragons don't come in it until the last episode of the first season.

AND IT'S NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE CALLED GAME OF THRONES! It's a Song of Fire and Ice!!@#

You obviously never read the comics.

 
So $500 was mistakenly deposited into my savings account. I printed out the image of the deposit slip and took it into the bank to let them know. They said thanks and they would fix it. This was about 10 days ago and it is still there. How long do I have to wait before it becomes " bank error in my favor"?
Varies, but pretty much Never.
I'd like a second opinion.

Go back into the bank branch, but this time show them your Community Chest card.

An Indian Guinness World Record holder who attempted to cross a river suspended from a zip wire attached to his ponytail has died during the stunt.

Sailendra Nath Roy, 48, was performing the feat on the Teesta river in West Bengal when he suffered a heart attack.

Hundreds of spectators watched his last moments in horror.

In March 2011, Mr Roy was named a Guinness World Record holder for travelling the farthest distance on a zip wire using hair.

He worked as a driver for the police.

Mr Roy was trying to cross the Coronation Bridge over the Teesta river near Siliguri town suspended from a zip wire 600ft (180m) long at a height of 70ft (20m).

Hanging for 45 minutes

A large number of people had gathered on the bridge to watch the feat.

Witnesses said that Mr Roy appeared to make no progress after covering about 300ft (90m).

"He was desperately trying to move forward. He was trying to scream out some instruction. But no one could follow what he was saying. After struggling for 30 minutes he became still," said Balai Sutradhar, a photographer, who was covering the stunt.

Police said he was hanging for nearly 45 minutes before he was brought down.

Doctors at the hospital said he had suffered a "massive heart attack".

Mr Roy had arrived at the riverside on Sunday morning and set up the zip wire from the bridge with help from friends.

No permission

He was wearing a life jacket, but there were no doctors or emergency services on the spot.

Police said that Mr Roy had not got permission to do the stunt.

A friend, who preferred to remain anonymous, said: "His wife used to urge him to quit doing dangerous stunts. Mr Roy convinced her that crossing the Teesta river would be his last. Unfortunately, that became his last stunt."

In 2008, Mr Roy pulled the Darjeeling toy train with his ponytail.

And in 2007, his ponytail tied to a rope, he flew from one building to another in front of television cameras.
The rare instance where both spouses can say "I told you so."

Close the account and move all your money to another bank. When they contact you in 6 months RE:the error, tell them you believe they're wrong and to keep walkin'.
 
So my buddy had a BBQ yesterday...friends from college I don't see that often came out, great time was had by all...My one friend and I were up late talking int he backyard until about 4 AM when he went to bed. I went downstairs to my buddy's basement apartment to crash on his couch, and my shoes, a bit wet from the yard, went out from under me on the stairs. I;m talking comic pratfall, slip on a banana peel, legs out from under someone.

I landed HARD on my right side and ####ed my shoulder up something fierce. Then my head hit the stairs and opened up a cut about an inch and half long that bled like a stuck pig. I bled all over my buddy's stairwell and managed to drag myself onto the couch to pass out. Wake up this morning with a raging headache, a shoulder that doesn't work and a forensic scene that wouldn't be out of place on Dexter. Just blood everywhere.

Ouch.

Self medicating with some V&V (Vodka and Vicodin)

Happy Sunday!
Couldn't help but think of your hallway tumble in the hotel. Feel better, gb.

Only on the island, gb. Also, 16oz glasses of straight Maker's Mark are a scary thing. I think I took about 4 months off of my life this past weekend. Not sure if I was getting my liver up to speed for derbyhole or if I did serious, long-lasting damage. Right now I'm leaning towards the latter. Turns out when the sun comes out for the first time in 6 months and you're on an island where your tab is $26 after drinking from noon to 2am you tend to put down A LOT of booze.

On Friday there was a series of "feats of strength" type lifting of people where I may have SLB'd my spinal column as well. Saturday I fell in love with playing "Night Moves" over and over on the jukebox. I thought it was hilarious, but I don't think many were on board with it. It's a slight improvement over my old go-to of "##### forget it" by OFWGKTA.

I'm going to try and get as much sleep as possible in preparation for this weekend.

 
So a quick little update on the whole ear thing. Something is seriously wrong, still having hearing issues (comes and goes), but on Friday started this dizziness that makes it feel like I am drunk a lot of the time. Can't focus, at times I have struggled to find words, very weak and tired. Saw the doc on Friday and am supposed to "rest". Starting to get a little concerned with this whole thing. Have a msg into the doc and he's supposed to call me back once he gets into the office.

Good luck, buddy.

I mean

GOOD LUCK, BUDDY

 
My boss announced today he's quitting. So right now we have no CEO, no CFO, no President of our largest business unit, and soon-to-be no General Counsel (his last day is the same as mine). I've known for a while that he was leaving but couldn't tell anyone. I knew if he left I would be offered his job on an interim basis. The only job worse than my job is his job. Thank god I'm leaving.

Anyway, the chaos continues. The company has become absolute madness.

I, however, am currently getting paid to be on Borneo. :pickle:

Hey, you know who else drank too much and injured himself this weekend? THIS GUY!

Did I injure myself falling down a flight of stairs? No.

Did I get into a fight and injure myself in mortal combat? Not even close.

Well how about something like a car accident or maybe fall from a bike? Nope and nope again.

Oh, I know, GM...you fell off a curb or tripped, that happens? Sure it does, but not to me.

So what happened, GM? Oh, I was just walking along a busy Portland Street with two of my old friends from high school/grade school (one up from Dallas visiting, the other lives here now) and in my very altered state, I thought it might be a great idea to try and scale a wall of a hotel that had some rocks jutting out of it, like a rock wall you might climb at a fancy gym. I ran to the wall with great speed and in my very best Spider Man approach jumped on to the wall, grabbing the first stones that I could, only to realize that I'm far too old and fat to be able to scale walls of hotels and made it about 7 inches off the ground before falling and landing awkwardly on my left ankle, which is now badly sprained.

I made the mistake of telling my wife this story, so every time a neighbor or a parent of a player from our soccer team or a friend or ANYBODY asked why I was limping along like a guy in dire need of a cane, she would turn to me and say "Tell them, love...tell them what you did!" with a wry smile and a gleam to her eye. What's worse is that my sons picked up on it and so when we were going out to eat for a post-soccer victory pizza, they said to be sure not to choose a restaurant with any sort of rock walls. Funny guys.

Tl,dr I'm a moron of highest order, I outrank any of you morons, even TUP. I not only stayed out until 2am Friday night, but 4:30am on Saturday night, limping around the entire way on a bad wheel with the true grit of a drinking champion.

 
Day 2 post fall - Still feel like I've been hit by a truck...Shoulder definitely took the brunt of the injury...Head has stopped bleeding, back and hip are exceedingly sore...Was lucky to avoid serious injury...Didn't get much sleep last night as every time I moved the pain shot through me and woke me up...I hope tomorrow will provide for some more relief and mobility

While not on the same level as Disco Stu, my buddy Mike from Dallas ain't too far behind. Guy's always had a way with the ladies and this weekend was no exception. We were in line for beers (SUPPLIES!) at a concert and the lovely gal behind us (a fellow out-of-towner from San Diego) began chatting him up. By the time we reached the front of the line to grab our beers, they had exchanged information where she swore up and down she would not text him, not call him but would send him a real letter...that's her thing. She likes to write letters. I know it's not on par with a fingerbang to the butt in the backseat of a sedan, but when you're 40 and slowing down in life, a pen-pal with a much sexier younger lady is at least something. :thumbup:

Tre-up, No-Tre & GM, it's nice of you guys to have sympathy accidents for me. We leave for Hawaii tomorrow morning on my first "healthy" trip since my now famous dive. I must have said to myself 50 times the last couple of days "now don't do anything stupid". We'll see.

ETA Oh yeah, Austin. :bag: Kind of nuts here.

Is there still an option to request a page number to 'jump to' in a thread? All I see are PREV and NEXT. I used to could put in the page number and go there. I'm sure it's still there and I just can't find it.
