GM's thread about nothing (10 Viewers)

Stuff

Tomorrow is my first day at the new job which means today is the last day at the company I started. I've decided not to be sad about it and instead be happy today and finish as well as I can. I am excited about my new job and think I can do well for the company and for myself. It's a "Xbox in the conference room, beer in the fridge" kind of place and I think the service offered is valuable to customers.

Things at home were bad yesterday. My wife had another bout of "how could you sink our life savings in to this thing?" but by ysterday afternoon she had thawed some and made dinner and didn't bring it up again. I am excited that the personal and financial stress this has taken on me and on our marriage will start to go away over time. She is upset that I have this great new opportunity but will still have to deal with our company although she understands why we can't simply close. I'm meeting with my partners tonight to discuss getting our expenses down to near-zero so that every order can be profitable. We haven't been able to string together any consistent profitability each month because our overhead has been so high. Even with me off the payroll it still needs trimming.

I had typed out a bunch of other stuff but closed the window on accident so - good news for you - this isn't a Guster-length post. Summary: I'm excited for my new opportunity and thankful that as bad as things have gotten, I'm on my way to keeping them from getting worse.

Great news. Very happy and excited for you.

Update: it's now 11:25am and boredom starting to set in.

I have papers to grade, but only got to sleep last night at 3am after popping both nyquil and chugging some depysum (sp?). Woke up at 7am to come to VW (not WV). Am still tripping balls, of a sort.

The FFA lunatics got boring real quick. There's only so much larry_boy one can stand.

Time to fire up Civ IV, I suppose.

Or go for a walk. To Walmart.

:unsure:

Follow up confession - Back when we first got married, Mrs. CC was really into Victoria's Secret matching satin bras and panties. I was really into Mrs. CC being into these garments. So I found her VC catalogue and decided to order her a few pairs. I don't know if every call is like this, but I was transferred to a young woman with a very English accent. No cockney or Scottish, but pure aristocratic Received Pronunciation. :wub: I ended up calling back 3 times making dummy orders, just to hear her voice. Sure, I felt like Rat in Fast Times at Ridgemont High buying all that film from the camera girl, but wow that voice. I was in love.

Why are you trapped at a VW dealership? Do they not offer pickup and drop off or loaner cars?

times like these remind me why i don't want to switch lives with SLB. you live an awesome, amazing life with lots of friends and relatives and people that care about you, but one of the downsides to that is that you open yourself to more tragedy than you otherwise would. i'm sorry to hear about your loss and hope that your trip is full of happiness and distractions

There was actually a blog post on the front page of Hacker News yesterday called "Confessions of a Call Girl" where a college student who worked at an ecommerce call center wrote about the experience. One of the funnier things was she said they would get weird guys calling in and the call would be something like..."I need to check on my order status from a website." "Ok, what is your order number." "Ooooh....you sound like a dirty girl. I bet you are a dirty girl....tell me how dirty you are...." and on and on. She finished that part by saying that whether she was a dirty girl or not didn't matter because the caller would likely not like the fact that she was hungover wearing sweatpants, cramming a pop tart in her mouth, and laying her head on the desk trying to take a nap." Was pretty funny.

 
Thanks guys. I didn't know his older brother but feel horrible for my GB. His health was already deteriorating before this latest tragedy.

Good news is we are in Dallas and the flight attendant comped us four bottles of Absolut. Don't know why but it was awfully cool of her. Lou Brock is also on this flight for you sports fans.

 
TPW, SLB. Hope your GB finds some peace and comfort being in the company of others, including yourself.

P.S - Sorry about your seemingly never ending stream of free crap

Thanks man. I've purposely have avoided posting depressing #### lately but this was just too incredible to not share. Plus I was posting here when my phone rang.

I should have. Loudly. Just to see what she'd do. But alas, no, I was too mesmerized to think of it.

They were all out of loaners. They offered to shuttle me somewhere, but I figured why bother. The only place around here I'd go is the gym, and I wasn't about to hang out there after my workout. Might as well stay here with unlimited free crap coffee and good wifi.

:shrug:

It's not all that bad. The waiting area is A+ all the way. Cushy leather seats. Big screen TV (on CNN, but whatever), a desk for my laptop, etc.

Makes sense I guess. Was a shuttle home not an option?

 
They get paid great money (for a college job) and what's the harm in getting your perv on. It's not like you ever meet these creepers.

She said it was $10/hour with no perks or benefits at all. I guess that's not awful considering its pretty mindless, faceless work. But when I was in college and working I had jobs good for meeting girls or getting cool benefits.

:lmao: You caught me editing that post. The first part mistakenly read "I had a vag in college," when it should have read "IF I had a vag in college."

I might have misread, but didn't your friend do (non porn) operator service or something? I was talking about working as a phone sex girl. They have to get paid more than $10 an hour.

 
Update:

I'm in the VW dealership's small computer room, and I have a nasty case of non-stop farts. They stink. Personally I like the odor, but I've always loved rolling in my own filth.

I don't think the other guy in here likes it. He just moved to the farthest computer away. :lmao:

Oh, yeah. Not a friend but someone that put up a blog post I saw. I imagine phone sex is worth a lot more, yes. This was for a call center that handled phone support for a huge ecom company. Some of the stories were funny, like an older man who called and said, "I'd like to order this white toaster I'm looking at on the computer." "Uh, okay, do you know the model number...?" "#######IT YOU STUPID #####. ITS THE WHITE ONE! ARE YOU DEAF? WHAT ACCENT IS THAT ON YOUR VOICE?"

I have a friend who worked a summer as a matchmaker.com operator in the Dominican Republic. She totally needs to fire up a blog of those memories. The crap she'd hear people complaining about. Not getting laid. Not getting a hand job. Not getting a free dinner, etc. It was like she was the customer service arm of a lousy brothel.

 
I've never been on one of these big 7 seat across planes. This thing is huge. There's also an old lady sitting in front of me that had two mimosas and is #### faced out of her mind. :mellow: :lmao:

Mrs. SLB has vicodin on her person. I can see that in my future.
