GM's thread about nothing (29 Viewers)

[Dr. Awesome]

Sometimes friends just show up. I've come home to friends just lounging or having a drink and playing cards or a video game. I don't mind it at all as I've made it clear they're always welcome as long as they don't trash the place. I'm 30 years old and a single guy. No need for me to not welcome friends. It's almost always a welcome sight to see one of them. I'm usually up for something, am the ringleader of the group, and have a location that's pretty central to most everyone.

The room had no lock on the door so I had built some Rube Goldberg device to make it impossible to simply open. You really needed to force it. She didn't even know what was in there as I tell most people it's my office. She was simply being nosy. I should have seen this coming. She really is a nosy person. I shouldn't leave a steak on the floor then yell at the dog when he eats it. I do appreciate the kind words but nothing is happening to me tonight. There's no danger. I assure you all that's not an option. The worst that is going to happen is an agitated stomach and a headache that is approaching migraine levels.

Dana Delany. I always thought she was smoking hot and seems to have held up OK. Tie between the other two. Never thought either one of them was great.

On a positive note, I wish I was one of your friends and lived near you. You're 30, single, a doctor, and live the home life of a college kid. Except for nosy "friends" and a tortured past, you're living the high life.

damn my buddy just shot me a text and said that we tipped the taxi driver with taco bell burritos because we were out of cash for his tip on the return to the hotel.

your story just went from nearly epic to epic.

This morning on the way in, saw one of those rear window decals of the deer head and antlers in profile. Except the ‘deer’ was the ‘9’ in local area code 904. And the “numbers” were painted to look like the confederate flag.

Not surprisingly, the vehicle in question was a Chevy pickup.

Yee-ha.

I saw a bumpersticker the other day that said "You could probably drive better if your car phone was UP YOUR BUTT".Car phone?

It's Oildale.

Oildate shtick is mine

Tanner ever sent you an Oildale University t-shirt?

That is absurd, Dr. A. Consider changing the locks on your house? I would certainly feel justified cutting ties with this woman in your shoes.

Change the locks and cut off all contact with this witch. Punch her in the face if necessary. Especially if she is wearing your shoes as well (I think I missed that part).

With a room like that (which, as a guy who also has a seriously effed up past, I completely understand needing), why would you ever give keys to the house to anyone but the people who live with you? Seems odd to me.

But I would change the locks, and after discussing with this woman both the purpose of the room and how her violation made you feel, I would slowly go about re-sanctifying your room so you can (eventually) feel comfortable in there again. I also wouldn't just cut this woman from your life. She will likely interpret that as confirmation of her craziest fears and *could* involve an outside party. Just stay in contact, but slowly distance yourself from her until she's out of your life.

You married, GB? If so, I hope she's in the loop and knows about the room or this could get much, much worse.

Positive karma your way, Doc.

And also call the cops on her if she doesn't return your journals pronto.

[rant]Background: I'm the longest standing employee at my company, 15 years and running. I've brought in some people/friends over the years who have continued working at the company to this day. One my roommates from college and his wife have been working there 10+ years. He's the VP product development and she's in charge of HR/accounting. Our investors have had some other legal issues outside of our company and have brought in a new CEO and board over the past 2 months to get the company more organized and structured so they can try and raise some VC money. Well the new CEO is old school from the 80's and he's clashed with our culture which has been "dot-com based, startup" after all these years. To make the long story short, he let my friend and his wife go yesterday and it was a bombshell to the entire company. I can understand some of the reasons why, but it's just a bombshell after all the #### some of us have been through over the years and we all have nothing to show for it, except being employed. Since the new CEO took over my pay has been cut 20% and I've been working harder than ever.Nothing else to add....just needed to rant. Pretty #### day today.[/rant]

Wow, that bites.

 

[Mr.Pack]

Wow dude.I have nothing to really offer except prayers.Hang in there GB.

[General Malaise]

at the last three pages, except for 'hack. Sorry, hack, that sucks.Your notebooks may indicate that some months ago I was told that partnership wasn't going to be in the cards at my giant law firm. Today I got an offer to join a small biotech company as their director of IP. The paycut isn't as fearsome as I was afraid it would be and I am THRILLED that I don't have to bill hours in the new gig.

Congrats!

I was just thinking of coming in here to say you're doing the lord's work in that thread. It's sad to me a couple of the people that I otherwise adored just becoming sad PSU apologists.ETA: AaronFan also doing great work there.ETA again, Chase Stuart is one of those reasonable alums you're looking for.

Due to recent phone woes, I'm considering changing my current Google Voice number and handing it out to everyone as my "final" number. I have my new area code picked out, and the one I've picked has a decent selection of numbers available.

I need suggestions on a fun 4-letter word for the last 4 digits of my number. I have number combinations starting with 2 all the way to 5, so I'm limited to words starting with A-L.

Keep it clean, please.

1. You should probably delete this one and hope anybody that has quoted it all does the same.2. You need to talk to your professional asap before you do anything else.3. Don't give people keys to your house. Ever. Unless they are mom or something. Just don't do it.12. Take a deep deep breath, don't drink right now, walk away.6. Profit??

The Occupy New Orleans crowd made its way in front of my building this afternoon. Standard protest signs and American Flag....and to top it off. Rage Against The Machine's "

playing so loud I could hear it on the 18th floor. Couldn't ask for a more stereotypical protest I guess
