GM's thread about nothing (29 Viewers)

lol @ rude's summary. Promised we'd only stay out til 12 last night. Got home at 1:45. Have to go to a school play this morning and then drive to Seattle for a client meeting. Daytime fish hates nighttime fish. He's a selfish ### that does nothing but drink, spend my money and hang out with women of questionable morals, and then leaves me sleep-deprived and hungover.She does not look like Krista.
This was another night out with the stalker chick?
While the description is probably fitting, you f'n broke my irony meter, rose.

Sooooo hot.
I want to know more about this.
:unsure: I hit next and now I'm led to believe that Krista and Homer share this 'album'

Mean no disrespect. Just wasn't expecting to see kiddie pool time.
This is how I know where I rate.Fish 3- El Floppo 0

eta: and I am pretty ####### psyched about finally learning how to use this multi-quote thing.

So this is the quiet outtake? Where is the rest of it? Was this part of your audition reel for A Different World??
As a dedicated lurker to this wonderful thread, (maybe one day I jump in the fray) can we seriously get some backstory to this video? What in the world is the music? Is there a full video? No pervy here :ph34r: ...just really fascinated by the whole thing.

Been watching you the whole time, but never felt the need to post until one of the females posts a video of herself shaking her booty. What's the story here? Can I get more?j/k man. You're probably just a big fan of 90s pop.

:bag: ETA: :lmao: Yeah, reading again there is just absolutely zero way of asking more about that video without me sounding absolutely and utterly creepy. But I assure you fine people my motives are as pure as the driven snow. :thumbup:

As usual, I am just popping in to pad my post count.

25 days until I roll out of here, not that I am counting or anything. I have been sleeping like crap lately and even thinking about posting is a mental challenge. I have been here over a year and my internal clock still flips every chance that I give it the opportunity. At least the hijinks here remain top-notch, always something good to read between naps.

I don’t think I have mentioned anything about it previously, but my decision to retire from the military in 2013 has wreaked havoc on me being able to lock down my next assignment. It looks like this might finally be resolved. The winner??? Lemoore, CA. I have never been to Bakersfield, but I imagine that Tanner rules over a paradise comparatively.

SWEET! FBG Gator lives a lot closer to Lemoore than I do. And FTR Bakersfield is 10-12 times larger than Lemoore.

What isn't? Not that small is bad, but Lemoore is special. Worst duty station I have been assigned to (I have been pretty lucky though). The golf course in Hanford had excellent military rates the last time that I was there and driving directly east or west can be rewarding. Not many places are isolated enough to allow F-18s to burn holes in the sky night and day.

Had to google it because it sounded dirty without the Casino part...call me disappointed. Yes I have, in fact I have put a few moments thought into camping in their parking lot since I will still be paying for my house in Oregon while down there.

That's more than I can say for Eagle Mountain (the Indian casino over by Porterville). They don't even have a motel nearby.

You may think you know everything, but you don't.
I don't even want or claim to know 0.1% of that garbage. I do know that obsessively calling/emailing someone that wants nothing to do with you is psychotic.

Hey look, it's 2008 again
 
Krista, what if you have a conversation with Zac and tell him the whole thing? The situation he's putting you in, etc. Normally I'd say just torch him, but you're getting out in two years, right? At that point, what does any of it matter?
This is all I'm yellin'...if it's a "friend", tell them they're about to get ####hammered...
Krista, what if you have a conversation with Zac and tell him the whole thing? The situation he's putting you in, etc. Normally I'd say just torch him, but you're getting out in two years, right? At that point, what does any of it matter?
things can change. two years can turn into more, so why limit your own growth by keeping a dead beat?
I guess it depends on what K4's plan is, or if it could change.I still say explain to him the fix you're being put in, and what he thinks the best way of going about it is. Were I Zac, a heads-up would be best.
Well, you could also say it doesn't matter in 2 years if she gets rid of him, but the next 2 years leading up to it will be much smoother.
If he can't do the job, the guy knows it. He should be at a place where he's competent and able to do the work - he'll be a lot happier, and so will everybody else. Getting this guy gone will be doing everybody a favor, assuming he's able to find other work - and if he's your peer currently, even if he's not very good at his job I assume he won't have trouble finding other employment.

If I were taking over authority from someone who was on the way out, the last thing I'd want to do is have to be the person responsible for canning the guy. Will you have Zack's direct reports underneath you? Are they loyal to him? Is there anything to worry about there if they perceive you to be the reason he's gone? My gut tells me this is your boss's problem, and not yours. I understand why he wouldn't want to deal with it, but if there's a concern that it would affect your team, that should be a bigger concern than him not having to do something tough.

The internet is awesome. I work at a bike shop, and I can give advice to a fancy lawyer person. Probably bad advice, but still.
...and I drop in after everyone's gone to bed. Wtf got into this thread tonight?

Krista> looks like the advice here is pretty unanimous. Tough to do, but not nearly as tough as letting someone go who works their ### off AND is great at what they do. A year of having to do that for my last employer drove me to my own disgusted resignation. Letting go of someone who isn't up to snuff is much easier, IMO - but still sucks of you like him personally. You know that he's failing in his current role but, as difficult as it may be in the short term for him, you will be enabling him to find another opportunity where he can be successful. Then go home, drink a few bottles of wine and relive your dancing glory days.

Nice vid, btw. :pickle:
This multi-quote thing is awesome.I don't feel like I can tell my friend what's going down, because he is fairly emotional, wears his heart on his sleeve. Don't think he'd be able to avoid getting upset and talking to the boss, which would really cause everything to go south for all of us.

Based on all of your advice, I'm going to tell the boss that I think he needs to put the guy on a PIP now if he truly believes he "isn't go to make it", which were the first words out of his mouth yesterday. Sometime while he's on the PIP the change in reporting will be announced, with changes probably to take effect Jan. 1. That will give boss plenty more time to work through this, and if he's not already gone by the time I take over I will see how it goes, but given that he will already have been PIP'd by then it really won't be seen as blood on my hands, I hope.

In the meantime, I've very little doubt that Zaque will come to me to talk about his situation. I can advise him as I normally would, which has generally been to try to find another job. He has not been happy at the company for as long as I've known him, and the PIP might actually inspire him to make more efforts to find another position, which is always easier when you're still in a job.

The point about the other people moving over to report to me is a good one that I intend to stress with the boss. They will have some loyalty issues anyway (though I get along with all of them), which will only be exacerbated if I'm seen as getting rid of their boss.

You can always count on Pickles to dredge for corpses.
 
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: at the other Krista videos, the Different World stuff, SLB's and Frosty's wives, etc. I can assure you that that video is the only one of me on the internet. I think. :unsure:

I'll post an explanation in a little bit.

 
And because I feel guilty about bringing this thread down when it had been very entertaining today, I hereby offer you this incredibly embarrassing and cringe-worthy version of my white-man's overbite dance from the late 90s.
Is that a velour top?
Velvet sweater, and damn did I love that sweater.
[*]Fake Mod> Your summary was excellent with the exception of not including that awesome K4 short.

[*]YSR> You absolutely must blog more. Include pics of hoarding and tacky decorations.

[*]Krista> You're one incredibly interesting, amazing woman.
Thanks. I think. :wub:
