GM's thread about nothing (12 Viewers)

In the spirit of recent thread events, here's high school bentley. Three notes about the photo:

- That chick apparently wasn't into me

- This represents 70% of my graduating class

- Despite appearances, I didn't go to a "special" high school

You had 15 kids in your graduating class?

14. I was 2nd in the class and half of me wasn't in the top 10%. The tall guy in the glasses on the right side was the valedictorian. Then he went to art school and discovered acid. I think he's a street person now.We were a K through 12 single campus with 78 kids in high school when I was there. The whole town only had 200, but we took kids in from some of the smaller towns in other parts of the county.

 
Ingenuity.

Because you can't buy booze on Sunday in TN because God and Tebow would frown upon it, Mr. krista made the following just now:

Brandy

Generic gas-station-brand fruit punch drink

Mike's Hard Lemonade (they sold it to us at the ghetto gas station)

Gummi worms

It's delicious.

Guster> :hi-five:Fish> I'm both proud and frightened for you.On a side note, I don't get how some of you can blackout from alcohol alone. I've never been able to drink enough to have total lack of recall. Now, mix a little something extra in the mix, and sure I've woken up in strange bathtubes. But just drinking can't do it.

I've blacked out from alcohol alone while drinking alone.Suddenly I feel so sad.

It sounds like you are close enough to these people that you could be up front (to a degree) and tell them you think you need a sabbatical. You've been there since HS and just think everyone would be better off if you left for a year or two. Maybe that way the door wouldn't be shut when you return, horrified at what the American workplace has become.

Yes I'm very close to them but a sabbatical is not in the cards. The last manager that put in her two weeks was escorted out the door (in an office of 25 people) because our "higher-ups" didn't want her messing with any accounts. And anyone who quits will not be approved for re-hire. Trust me, I know it is beyond stupid but that's what I've witnessed in the past 12 years.Plus if I were to take an actual sabbatical I couldn't float it. 2 years into our house, new car, baby on the way....It's either all-in or fold :shrug: :kicksrock:

It sounds to me like the lady escorted out was not nearly in your position.These guys are saying you are in line to be the cheese. They've known you a long time and there seems to be something there beyond employee/employerIf it looks like you need to leave- at least make the pitch to them. They know you will be required to do other work in your time away (and you will do it in a different field/industry or whatever for them to feel comfortable about your client knowledge), and let them know you will stay on until they are comfortable with whomever you train to cover for you during your absence. :shrug: I do not know all the nuances of your situation, but it sounds like you have built up an amazing reputation there and maybe that will help it play pout in your favor. And even if they decline and you leave, you would have parted on terms where an amicable re-engagement may be in the future.Good luck, friend

Was there a shin-dig at the speakeasy when you got one in your hometown?
 
I'm working my way through some of my hotel minibar bottle collection. Crown Royal, Jack Daniels, and a couple of Finlandia down. Pouring a couple tiny bottles of Puerto Rican rum I picked up in '98 along with some ginger ale.

6.5You're kind of mixing up historical eras/slang here.

You know, I don't think Cleveland is quite as good as they were when they had LaBron. Kinda glad I gifted these tickets away. There's some pretty bad NBA teams out there.

could you have a sit down and talk about laying out a specific track for your future and talk about money? explain that you think you're worth more than you're currently getting paid and want to make sure the company feels the same way and you will be compensated in the future for it :shrug:

My toe if ####ing killing me. My wrist hurts. My left knee has some type of burning sensation.

Man, I hate getting old. Tanner, how did you do it?

 
Think we're buying another house in Nicaragua; entering into a contract next weekend.

Houses in Nica all have names, I suppose since they don't have addresses. The one we're buying is called Casa Almendro ("almond" in Spanish). Any good shticky or non-shticky ideas to rename this one?

(The other one was bought we called Casa Camila based on my best friend/cat of 18 years' name. :bag: )
