Wife's rockin' the Winebat shirt tonight.

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."

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:

You've gotta be wearing a sweater vest to get away with this, right?

Not today. I haven't even brought out the vest yet. They keep asking me to dress down. Owner wears shorts and flip flops.

I was just telling Mrs. SLB about how cool Dylan is to hang around. Then she tells me about his soccer game last week that I missed because I was taking Cal to the doctor. He was playing goal and there was a goalie kick. He ran up to the ball to kick it, stopped short and yelled haha. So awesome..

Your little guys are awesome. I hope mine grow up to be that cool.

As cool as you are, I don't see how they don't.

I think Cos has an open room for you two at AOETA: F'n CQ beat me to it

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!

GLLL GB

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

Glad to hear you are doing better GB.

Should I upgrade to first class? I'm about 60% sure I should.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Should I upgrade to first class? I'm about 60% sure I should.

Do you like drinks, extra space or looking down at the coach section like so much cattle? Of so, first class is for you!I'll be making a stab at this for ye olde derbyhole.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Should I upgrade to first class? I'm about 60% sure I should.

Yes.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

You stopped playing WWF with me. :(

I did?

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Should I upgrade to first class? I'm about 60% sure I should.

I did?

Yes. Loser challenges for next game, right?

They do?

Yes. Loser challenges for next game, right?

They do?

You beat me first game, I rematched. I beat you second game, you rematched. I beat you third game, I assumed it was on you.

That's how I have always played.

Yeah, but you're a cheating *******, so I abandoned the series.

Too busy to do laundry this month?

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Lol

Unfortunately not. I think she cleaned out the closet and found it in there somewhere.

I understand. I can't clean out a shoebox around here without finding UHEM or Wine Bat paraphernalia.

Screw you, Aaron. I am a lot of things but I am not a cheater at word games.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you are.

 

[General Malaise]

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

Two words, friend. Epi Dural. Hook it up, hook it in.

 

[General Malaise]

how do you cheat at Scrabble/Words With Friends? or better yet....why? Zooks and YSR - not cheating. <-----------------------------

 

[General Malaise]

I asked the anesthesiologist for some epidural when he was plugging that wire into my wife's spine, but he wasn't as funny as I thought a guy wearing a NY Giants scrub hat should be.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you are.

So after the first match you won, where I rematched...you had no issue.

When I won the second match and you rematched..no issue.

When I won the the third, I'm now a cheater? I hate to tell you, I'm not some typical moron that posts at FBGs, sunshine. I might be a little bit smarter than everyone gives me credit for.

Aaron, don't be a whiner. I'm up 2-1. Keep playing.

Seems a bit defensive as no one brought up you being some dolt.

Just keep your ATEMOYA for special occasions.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Should I upgrade to first class? I'm about 60% sure I should.

Stay classy, guy.

 

[General Malaise]

Who doesn't like a good atemoya in the morning with their cereal?

 

[strykerpks]

My wife took no drugs. Wants to go natural for our 2nd (if and when)

The doctor took me aside and asked me if he could "use her in motivational talks" for other women. She never swore, she never shed a tear, , she never screamed. She gripped it and ripped it.

My wife is tougher than me and I'm not ashamed to say it.

 

[strykerpks]

I think I owe about 8 moves in WWF. Sorry people I play slow and don't care when I play. I'll do it in the morning. Maybe

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Jesus, I didn't realize you needed a hug over this.

 

[strykerpks]

Damn, apparenty I just conceded to Imp, Homer and Tre. Sorry. I got sick of notifications and nudges so I turned them off.

Anyone want to play me?

 

[strykerpks]

But I do respond to Draw Free.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Jesus, I didn't realize you needed a hug over this.

You accused. I know you hate the idea someone can beat you so either play a few more or admit I won.

This is exhausting. I didn't request a new game. Feel free to do so if you're so inclined.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

But I do respond to Draw Free.

Awful "game."

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Good god.

 

[strykerpks]

But I do respond to Draw Free.

Awful "game."

You mean my terrible finger drawing of the sphinx isn't "Drawtacular"?

 

[Mr. Pickles]

But I do respond to Draw Free.

Awful "game."

You mean my terrible finger drawing of the sphinx isn't "Drawtacular"?

There's just no point to the game.

 

[strykerpks]

There's just no point to the game.

But if you get it right, it's "Drawpendous!"

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Of all the people who would whine, I never thought Pickles would go the YSR route to accuse me of cheating. Funny how neither made the accusation after they won a game.

I thought you were cheating then too. I was just better than your cheating efforts.

[UniAlias]

I'm glad Homer is here now, I was getting uncomfortable. How's your head nipple doing?

 

[Homer J Simpson]

I just performed surgery on myself.

This character has popped up in the last few days, and being a greasy hairy Eye-talian, this sort of thing comes up every few years at some point on my body. This time, it decided that dead-center of the forehead was the perfect location. Happily enough, as a bartender in front of hundreds of people this weekend, it's not like anyone will notice! WOOHOO!

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?

Didn't end up having to go to Pimplepopper M.D.

But this creature was more than a pimple...it had a personality and a voice and everything. It was an entity. A force. We battled to the death and Homer arose victorious.

 

[Homer J Simpson]

I'm glad Homer is here now, I was getting uncomfortable. How's your head nipple doing?

Apparently my update was timed well. Thank you for your concern.

Oh, and I'd pay good money to be in Cincy this weekend. :kickrock:

 

[Homer J Simpson]

I am currently experiencing a dilemma of sorts.

I've been on my best behavior at work and only had a couple of beers at work while I was closing up, and am on like my 4th or 5th at home. I'm just getting to a good level of drunkenness and am inclined to keep it going. But I haven't eaten anything today, so I'm kinda starving. Also, I didn't sleep much last night, so I'm kinda tired.

Option 1: Keep drinking...but I have a lot of #### to do tomorrow.

Option 2: Eat tbe wings and Caesar salad I brought home from work...but I've been dropping pounds and trying to stop the late-night eating.

Option 3: Just go to sleep...but I'd be lucky to fall asleep in the next couple hours. Plus, I'd miss a potential Imp meltdown.
