GM's thread about nothing (15 Viewers)

[Gadzooks]

Successful 2nd date over the weekend with my friend's sister. We went out to dinner and then played in a pub trivia night fundraiser thing and then went to an after hours party and then ended up at the Gadzooks Love Lair. One of the best nights and the most fun I've had in ages. She is awesome and very funny. We spent most of the night laughing, I would compare it to being with GM if he was hot, had some color in his skin and had really big(ger) bewbs. We shared embarassing stories at dinner and I told her about the time I was 19 and while getting high with friends a confused Gadzooks deep-throated a bong (pretty sure I told that story before here) She thought that was hilarious and told me there was no way that was staying a secret because it was too funny. At the trivia thing, there was a question about how fast a chimpanzee can have sex and the answer was 3 seconds, I joked that I'm faster to which my lovely date shook her head and said "it's gonna be a long night, or should I say a very quick night".

I knew most of the people at the event and during a break I was talking to a cop who I sorta know and he was there participating while off-duty and he asked about the girl I was with and when I said it was kind of our 2nd date he said he could say something to her to make me look cool. Now he was already pretty drunk so he thought if he walked by and asked how my giant penis was doing or mentioned how I was recently voted the world's most unselfish lover, if that would help. I laughed and said I could probably handle things on my own. A little while later, there is a break and she goes to use the bathroom with the other girl on our team. She comes back and sits down and says "oh hey funny story, I just talked to your cop friend" and I thought "uh oh" and I asked what he said. She said "well first off, I didn't know he was a cop, please remember that. So he said, hey, you're on your 2nd date with Gadzooks right? Well there are 2 things you need to know about him but I'll let him tell you, so you should ask him about those 2 things" to which she replied to him "oh is it about smoking pot and deep throating something... cause I'm aware of that charming story". At that point the other girl on our team nudged her and told her that the guy was a cop and now he had completely puzzled look on his face. She said to him "ok then, good talk, gotta go". I kinda laughed and had this blank look on my face and didn't know what to say. She looked a scared and she quickly said "Soooo.... how about my boobs? Pretty nice huh? Are you mad that I said that to him? It's kinda funny. Don't be mad, I'll let you play with my boobs if you won't be mad. What are you thinking?" I replied "you had me at boobs...you had me at boobs"

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.

:snort:

About what it looked like. The fact that I walked about 10 miles this weekend WITH the sprained ankle has taken a very bad toll on my back. I had to change the way I walk and I wasn't going to let some little nagging injury slow me down. So now I've got a bad ankle AND a sore back. I'm pretty sure I'm the dumbest human alive right now.

 

[Mr.Pack]

have fun in Hawaii, Bob. Maybe jump into the pools feet first?

Maybe check the depth first?

 

[General Malaise]

lol at deepthroating a bong. I watched a girl do that at a post-party party at my house years ago. It was a riot. She looked a poisonous snake that was being milked for venom. We couldn't stop laughing at her. Poor girl. You doing it is even better, Zooks.

summary for the tl;dr crowd

 

[Guster]

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.

Thanks GB...That was definitely more stupidity and liquid courage...This was a bad step and slick stairs

Tore my rotator cuff because of slick stairs. Eight years later and I'm still not back to 100%. Hope you get back to full strength quickly, like before your next misstep.

Several years ago after exiting a bar, a friend of mine and I had to walk through a fenced area. The fence had a gateless gate (just a gap) but in my state, I decided that it would be better to scale the fence next to the gap and leap over the top. I did this and promptly collapsed to the ground. Spent the rest of the night hobbling form bar to bar and only discovered several days later that I had a tibial plateau fracture and a couple of sprained kneed ligaments.

Of course, I told the story about how I had done it leaping off the top of an 8 foot fence and then went bar hopping on a9broken leg. That rapidly changed when we revisted the scene of the crime months later and I saw the fence was barely 6 feet high.

I don't officially start my new job until Wednesday but I spent all afternoon there anyway. I went in to sit in on a second interview for another possible sales rep and helped the team decide that she was not a good fit. Not that she couldn't do the job, but I told them "if you've talked to her once and met with her twice and still aren't sure than the answer is 'no.' We want people that we can't live without, not people who applied for the job." Also talked to a potential customer just to get my feet wet and while the opportunity is not huge, it's a start and really got my wheels turning on how to do my job.

Come to find out that the company is the 2nd largest seller of Office 365 in the south and they have not once called on any of those customers for I/T services, so there is a long list of somewhat warm leads for me to start with.

Meeting with my partners tomorrow to discuss ramping the company down to have zero monthly overhead. Get rid of the office, move the salesperson to commission only and suggest she get another full time job, etc. While our sales have increased the last couple of months we still aren't netting enough to cover the monthly nut so I suggest we cut the nut to zero and they think it's worth exploring.

ASide from my wife being mad at me still about our finances, it was a good day. I just need her to hang in there for a couple months and I can get things turned around I think,.

One of the things I love about the hiring process here is the concept of setting a high bar. Candidates are all judge don their individual merit against that bar. If the bar is sufficiently high, you don't need to weigh one candidate against another, you simply ask if the candidate is good enough and make your decision base don that. No pooling of candidates for comparison and no need to make someone appear more attractive than they are because they were simply the best of an average or sub-average group.

The marketing director said, "we can't afford the kind of talent we need." AHEM. "Well, we can't afford two of you." I replied, "then we wait. We wait and hire someone that makes me scared i'm looking like I am doing a bad job." :gavel:

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.

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.

Plus, San Diego is a nice town to visit for a weekend...

Hey Uruk Hai's tumor: SPACE BATS!!!!

Space bats still working the magic here in Bali today.

I'll add some slight, potential good news here, which is that in addition to selling Casa Camila (closing scheduled for May 22--pleasehappenpleasehappenpleasehappen), I received an offer on my Memphis monstrosity today. Bad news is that it's really lowball...wondering if I should just reject it and tell them to try again or counter. It's been a while since I sold a house (company bought my Chicago house so I didn't go through it then), but I don't remember people coming in 20% below asking price. Is that usual these days?

FWIW, when I bought my first house (8 years ago) our initial offer was 15% below asking, and we landed on 10%. Doesn't sound too off I guess if it's a buyers market

Surgical supplies included a roll of gauze, a box of lancets, neosporin, antibacterial handsoap, toilet paper, a bottle of vodka, several beers, Marlboro Lights, and in case the lancets weren't good enough, a box of pushpins. And FYI, the pushpins weren't enough either and a paring knife was brought into the situation.

Anyway, I took a whole series of pictures at different stages of the event and was totally looking forward to grossing you all out. Especially the one with a pushpin sticking a full 3/4 inch into my forehead.

Took pics of that, and one of the massive blood loss being dribbled all over the sink, plus one of the bathroom mirror completely splattered with disgusting crap. Good times! But once things really started getting serious and I had gone through half a roll of gauze, I startyed to re-think things. It was so disgusting that it made me throw up.

So there you go. It was so nasty that it made ME puke...consider yourself lucky that I'm nice enough not to have taken video.

Will not be clicking any links from Homer in a while. But tell us, did it solve the problem?

Nope. Going to the doctor tomorrow.

The friggin' drug store didn't sell scalpels to civilians, and I knew that's what I'd need. Oh well, I'll spend a few hundred bucks for a professional pimplepopper, I guess.

What am I missing here? What makes your pimple so impossible to pop?

Holy #### this board is slow.

Joe and Dodds should consider the draft a trial run. The verdict is in: if they don't change this software by football season, this place will collapse come August.

It's not that bad

I just went to my first childbirth preparation class. I'd like to order a venti unpregnancy, please.

It's ok. Your body is meant to tear in sensitive places, hon.

We have a Wii. That Wii is in the garage where the boys play it. If I install netflix, can they watch movies out in the garage even if I don't have a cable feed into that TV? Would the Wii need to be synced up with our wireless router? Do I need a modem?

If the Wii isn't already "online" then, yes, it must be connected in order to use Netflix.

Pete's prayers are answered: me and my sweater vest collection have a real job.

Software co?

Managed service. I/t. Selling "hey, outsource your I/t to us". They expect me to grow in to the manager of new salespeople over time. I was able to negotiate a good deal where I get a fat check everytime I sign up a customer AND get residuals thereafter. Very excited.

congrats

It was a very dumb move, but that kind of racially disparaging remark isn't going to fly around here, guy.
