Quick parenting analogy here:Angrywife : Lexapro :: bentley : boozeCoincidentally, the first 1.5 bottles of the wine our ad agency delivered this afternoon appears to have been consumed by someone in this house.

 

[kevzilla]

Really?

"Crisp medium-bodied" yeah, sounds about right.

I guess we'll have to ask the 22-year-old about the "subtle and unique hop aroma".

 

[kevzilla]

Ever think about something you did and recognize that you probably just made the worst decision of your entire life?

Yes. And I'm going to keep doing it until she realizes that this is probably the worst decision of her life as well.

OK, this has to be the POTY. :boozesnort:

 

[Tiger Fan]

And that first dad seems WAY too eager. Like he's been waiting for a break like this for a long time.

Exactly. Way creepy.

bagger pimping out his sister creepy.

That was really appreciated, though. I think he was just proud. Freight train of boobs coming your way.

I went indoor skydiving for our firm Christmas party today. That was freaking cool!!!!

Gotta say I went to the best Christmas party ever for Go Daddy. On the field at bank one ballpark, free booze, food, taxis, for 5000 people.It was an american theme, Statue of Liberty in the middle of the place, a new orleans area, mini Vegas with free blackjack, poker, Craps. Live music from 2 country guys (not my style), cheerleaders, godaddy girls, etc.Throughout the night they gave away so much money. He started with $500 named off about 30-40 people, $1000 another 30-40, then more live music, $2500 more people, $5000 more people, more music. $10000! more people. It was incredible. They slowed down at $10,000 how fast they were reading them off. Usually throughout the night it was a new name every second or 2.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GectGB5srsA&feature=relatedToward the end of the night there were rumors about a secret tourbus outside.All of the sudden BAMhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcvaYqw_H5Y&feature=related20 feet away from the stage you could sit at a table with a drink and enjy your almost private concert. IncredibleEnd of the night bussed to the hotel, tons of people, ton of fun, found secret pool on the 4th floor, yada yada Back at the room around 4am for a bunch of I was blown away

Guess they treat their folks really well. They always have excellent customer service every time I call them

My stuff will require directions, which I plan on drawing up in crayon on construction paper.It's so complex I had to text Gadzooks for help. He suggested sending pics of my holy rooster to GM. I did. He never responded. With some people, there just ain't no pleasing.

huh. so the day after our firm Christmas party and year-end reviews, including promises that we were staying in business for years to come, it gets announced that we may be shutting our doors in March.strangely enough, this actually makes my bad decision-making appear to be a little better.

You're being very coy with this whole bad decision thing

I've had a long day. One of my best friends told his wife he's leaving her today. My firm may be shutting down. I have 3 3000-lb boilers being disassembled on the 27th floor of a high rise building, with a contractor that just realized that since the building is in litigation we can't just stick them in a recycling truck, and they have nowhere to put them.Some of you know some of the backstory on this next part from a chat a while back.I have fallen hard for my paralegal, who is married. She feels the same way (apparently for a long time). We've worked together for years, so we've spent more time together than we have with our respective spouses and families. She knows everything about me (yes, even the knuckles stuff). She doesn'tWe have not done anything physical. I'm not going to have an affair with her. She may get divorced; she may not. There are kids involved; in fact, our daughters are friends. If anything were going to ever come of this, one of us would have to quit. Also, since she revealed her feelings to me a few months back, I've had trouble working with her. I've decided to quit my job, even though I may never have the opportunity to be with her. Either way I can't keep working with her. I'm a sap.

Damn. I don't have a magic pill to make it all better, but I do have beer to offer if you're in the area anytime soon.

Same goes for me. If you ever make it South, Neverland's gates are wide open.

I'm hosting our annual "Blazers Season Ticket Draft" today, sponsored by "Chipotle Mexican Grill™". There are 5 of us in the office and I get the #3 overall pick. Draft is serpentine in nature and no Tigerfan, this is not PPR league.

Those of you who have had the honor of playing fantasy basketball with me over the years understand that I know very little about this NBA sport. In fact, I'm not sure who the major draws are this year, so if you have any thoughts about games I should target, feel free to give me some advise.

Obviously, the Heat and Lakers games will go 1 & 2, so I'm looking for the 3rd best game here, then any other games you guys think would be good match-ups.

Thanks and bless you all!

Sorry to hear man. I'm trying to come up with some advice, like try riding it out for a while in light of the news, but I really have no experience in this department.

-fish-, g'luck to you man.

thanks. funny how quickly things change. given the fact that it looks like my firm's doors are closing, quitting now isn't all that bad of a thing. since it gets me away from her, it also lets that problem solve itself. she'll either shake loose or not. if she does, great. if she doesn't, at least I won't be seeing her every day and it will be that much easier to just move on.

 

[Tiger Fan]

Secret Santa stuff will be mailed tomorrow. Fair warning, it's not going to be 4 lobsters. About 80% schtick and 20% thought behind it. I think the 20% is pretty good, in fact I wanted to keep it for myself.

Mr. Pickles is really really good at Words w Friends.

I bet he makes most of the words up.

I've been thinking about this. I could ride it out a bit, but I'm not sure what good it would do. I'm completely out of my element here. Obviously the best thing for me to do is just forget about her, but that's pretty tough to do when I spend 8-10 hours a day with her. Even if she does end up getting divorced, I couldn't be with her if I worked there. Either way, I think I need to quit. I can't believe that this is what I'm basing career decisions on.

I hear that poker cornholes with FBGs help with these things ,s good luck!! You're in a tough spot now, but things have a way of working out for the best

I'm going to do what I do best. Drink heavily and surround myself with younger women. I'm not sure if this will solve my problem, but it just feels right.

Meh. Didn't you want to move on anyway?

true, but I wanted to do it on my terms, with a predictable client base and funding in place. I also wanted to do it at the right time. I basically just allowed my decision to be made for me. I'm not sure this is the best time for me to be starting a solo shop. I suppose I could try to make a lateral move, but I'm almost unemployable unless I bring a book of business with me, and I don't have a big client base that would leave with me right now. I should probably focus on marketing myself while I still have a paycheck.

Sorry to drop this here, but I figured this was a slightly hidden area with possibilites for lots of good answers. I considered making a thread, but didn't want it out there forever.

My friend is married with a kid, and his wife is currently pregnant. I've heard it's ok for woment to have a glass of wine occasionally while pregnant, but from what I understand, this witch is drinking a bottle of wine at times, and he also has good reason to believe she's popping perscription pills as well. I wouldn't doubt if she's smoking weed as well. He's talked about divorce since even before he was dumb enough to get her pregnant the first time, but now he has progressed to the point where he contacted a lawyer.

She knows about him contacting a lawyer about divorce. The lawyer instructed him no judge would sign off on a divorce with a pregnant wife. She says she gave the doctor instructions he was allowed to contact him about the pregnancy, but the doctor will not speak to him apparently due to HIPAA when he has tried talking to him about her substance abuse outside of her being present.

What are his options? The main concern I have is the kid on the way. He is concerned as well. He knows what she's doing to their kid is possibly criminal, but he's getting stonewalled when trying to bring it to light. He's in counseling and has already staged a sort of intervention with her parents involved, but she's still continuing her actions.

I'd like to help him out, but I have no clue what advise to give. There are those moments in life you wish you could make a different decision, but one of those for me was the day he called me to announce his engagement. I knew it would not end well then, but congratulated him instead of berating him as I should have. Instead, I called our other friend to talk about the things both of us should have said to him that day.

contact DFCS?

Sorry Jeep, but not sure there is anything you can do there.

Your friend needs to talk to his wife about this and be stern. If it's as bad as you portray it, he should talk to a lawyer, and document everything. But, not real much you can do about this. g'luck to you

 

[madhatter]

I NEVER answer my landline. It's either something like the above mentioned donation seekers or the Marines trying to recruit my kid (bonehead sent away for a free t-shirt and duffel bag and now they won't leave him alone).

Once in a while, it's an ####### from the FFA.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Damn Jeep... Not even the Muppets have an answer for that.

 

[jplvr]

Yeah, I keep thinking there must be some sort of legal action he can take, but considering abortion law (I've always been pro abortion, for the record), I don't see any legal grounds for someone stepping in because of damage to the baby as it's "her body." They're getting divorced in a few months, I'm pretty sure, but the main concern is the unborn child.

I think he's doing all he can, but I was sitting around tonight wondering if there were other answers.

Damn Jeep... Not even the Muppets have an answer for that.

Let's lighten things up with a Portland cornhole.

Just got tickets on a one day SW airline flight sale for $57 each way from Austin.

Wife & I will fly in Jan 25th late a get a room at the airport.

Go into town 1/26 and get a 4-5 star hotel thru 1/30, then head back to an airport hotel so its easy to catch our return flight morning of the 31st.

Wife has some family there I can tolerate for a oit and I am hoping we might get to see the Maiaise family . The rest of the time we'll just hang out downtown and act like we aren't living beyond our means (thanks Priceline ).

SO anyone up for some debachery and cornholing downtown Portland the weekend before the SUperbowl?
