Yeah, I'm a big Organ Donor guy. Have been as soon as I knew I could be. After that, it's burn me up and scatter me around a race track, a pretty river and a few good bars.![]()

Follow @smokingroaches. He's not all pot stuff, some of it is brownie and nuts. He'll follow you back and say everything you twit is great.
I've been calling this 'soul burn' the last few years. you mean that's actually my liver?You guys ever drink so much that your liver actually does hurt? Maybe it's a little swollen and hardened too? Yeah, still talking about the liver.
Also, I think Alex Morgan might be one more tweet away from blocking me. 
G,First of all, thanks for writing me. Put up a blog post means that I added something new to my blog. In this case I rip on teh gopher football team (pretty standard) and then mention some of the new fall shows that I've watched. See link below.Hi Tre -

I had a doctor do a general blood panel recently. He told me my liver function was normal and I actually blurted out, "You're kidding."If the cumulative livers in this thread could somehow join forces, we could create a super liver.Scientists discover natural substance 1000 times harder than diamondI have a living will and an agreement to donate my liver to science.![]()

Attended my first Cub Scout meeting tonight.
We start with picking up trash around the school with the promise of learning about recycling later. Of course there was very little litter on the grounds which is a good thing I guess. After about 40 minutes of looking for trash (with every find resulting in a battle royale with cheese for the small wrapper or whatever) we gather back in the gym to share our finds. Right away this is what happens:
Kid 1: All I found was a cigarette.
Kid 2: SMOKING IS BAD! Kid 3 SMOKING WILL KILL YOU! Kid 4: SMOKING WILL MAKE YOU SICK!
Cal: My Dad smokes. (Turns to look at me, shakes his finger and his head as every man, woman and child in a 50 mile radius stares at me and frowns.)
Cub Scouts are fun!

Maybe sometime when I'm drunk and bored. It isn't all that entertaining. Secret credit card use, signature loans in my name that I was not privy to, battles with bi-polar/depression stuff, just a general needy jerk.tell me more.Sure.

You know you're the campus weirdo when that happens.Uncle Mitch?I work with this guy that is just a weirdo. We'll call him Mitch. 75% of the time he comes across as normal but he when he's off...he's way off. I almost think he's got some mild form of Asperger's. He's a nice guy but sometimes has a problem with personal space and not realizing when he's being inappropriate. He once told a younger female teacher "That dress looks really nice on you." When she said "thanks" he continued with "No, I mean it really fits you well...like everywhere...it just looks really great...I really mean that." I honestly think he was just trying to be nice and sincere but the girl was creeped out.So anyway earlier in the week there was some random dude that exposed himself to a couple of 6th grade girls about a mile away from the school. The police released the make/model/year of the car he was driving. No less than 3 people made a joke via email (to selected friends) like "Hey, I didn't know Mitch drives a Bronco?" Or "When did Mitch get a Bronco?"You know you're the campus weirdo when that happens.

Whitney: Whitney Cummings, who I think is also a writer on 2 Broke Girls stars in this one. This is mostly about her long term relationship with her boyfriend from what I can tell. (HAHAHAHAHAHA!) The thing is though (HAHAHAHAHA!) there's this awful laugh track (HAHAHAHA!) that makes you want to remove your brain from your head with a spoon. (HAHAHAHAHA!) 1/10, 3.0 rating.

Maybe so, but what are the drawbacks/benefits for each option?I was pretty much exactly in the same situation. My breakdown was:I have the choice of (1) quitting immediately (stupid from a financial POV), (ii) looking for a new job and waiting it out until then (but then I'm essentially lying to the new lawyer I'm offering a job to), or © slacking until I get fired (pretty much impossible). None of these is a good choice.
1) Good: getting out of a horrible situation, challenge, better mental health Bad: financial reasons
2) Good: more financial security Bad: boredom, possibly selling a colleague on something that's not true
3) Good: better severance, financially a good situation Bad: incredible boredom, potential for hurting reputation.
I'm oversimplifying of course.
I made my decision by realizing I could always make more money later, or by alternate ways, so that shouldn't be a factor. Remove the money factor and it was an easy decision for me.
Thanks to both of you for the advice. Update from today: spoke to my boss who knew I was livid. We worked the current matter out to my satisfaction--in fact beyond my expectations. I can and have made the offer to the new employee with no concerns that I'm pulling a bait-and-switch. Essentially the issue had become that at the last minute, he indicated a dual reporting nature for this new role, reporting to both me and my arch-enemy. I don't think dual reporting works in any circumstances, and certainly not in the situation at hand. I also have talked the new person into accepting our job over another that is significantly more lucrative on the basis of her being able to work with my team, which is a big difference as my group is highly respected and valued and the other person's is not. Anyway, boss agreed that the person would report only to me, AND he dropped several broad, unmistakable hints that my enemy is not long for her job (this is not the first time he'd alluded to this). I believe him.krista> not sure this is much help, but here's what happened with me:
Was promised partner in a boutique firm that makes an ungodly amount of money. When it got to be time to give me my share, they told me that not only was it not happening, but would never happen. They offered me a more than fair salary, but made it clear that I'd never get a cut, even though I'm the one that makes everything happen.
I did two things: first, I developed a ton of new clients with the intention of walking out the door with them. I arranged financial backing from some people I knew earlier in my career,and had it all set up to walk out January 1, 2009. On December 18, 2008 my ex wife hit me with a bogus restraining order, ended our marriage and destroyed any possibility of that happening. The separation/divorce pushed that timeline out 2 - 3 years. During that time the partners wised up and cut me off from all client development. As a result, I switched my mindset and work ethic to cruise control.
Unfortunately, I can't stand the way anyone else does things, so slowly I went back to leading everything. I'm now still not a partner, still a wage slave, but I'm running the firm, lead trial counsel, and have point on every one of our cases. They still don't let me meet with potential clients (although it happens from time to time). I'm now a year from being able to walk with at least half their clients, and working harder than ever.
If there's anything that I can tell you, it's that you can't just choose to become a "C" employee if that's not who you are. You'll still feel compelled to do the same quality work and work just as hard.
I was lucky that my dad had taken care of every little detail, down to every aspect of his funeral (from what songs were played in which order and by whom). I guess I know where I got my OCD, Type A crap from.Thanks andBobby, I love your attitude. I'm sure your mom is proud. I hope to be referred to as the awesome exwife someday.![]()
Oh, and GB a parent who 1) prepays their funeral, and 2) takes care of a ton of the planning. Just got off the phone with the funeral home director, and they took care of most of the big stuff years ago.
Hoping folks are getting some good takeaways from all this regarding having a Living Will and do-it-yourself funeral arrangements and solid estate plannings. It's a real blessing to your loved ones who are grieving.
You're particularly lucky that your mom had done this when this came so suddenly. It's an excellent reminder, one I need to follow up on, with respect to living wills in particular. Thanks for sharing that.Been trying to donate my organ for months. Can't find a willing recipient.PM Sent

Impressive.yeah I don't even remember posting that. pretty coherent for being that drunk.

I'm pretty fortunate. My new employer views me as an "A" employee, but in reality I reach that level two days a week.also, for the record, I'm very content being a "C" guy.![]()
