GM's thread about nothing (29 Viewers)

[Samuel L Bronkowitz]

I've met Larryboy. I win

 

[Mr.Pack]

So I had my first interview for this Chicago job today. The interviewer flew down from Chicago this morning, met me for lunch for about 2-1/2 hours, and then flew back to Chicago. It went extremely well, and she already has invited me to the next round of interviews up there.I really don't know what to do.

Shoot for the moon.

I think we need to get together and discuss this definition of "win" that you have.

 

[General Malaise]

20 minutes after I finished my soup and sandwich (Tri Tip sub and Crab and Wild Musroom chowder), someone comes in from a meeting with a giant box of Jimmy Johns sandwiches that were leftover (whole sandwiches, untouched). I pretty much have to have one even though I'm not hungry, right?

Be rude not to.Kind of felt that way yesterday at Blazer game. Club Level = all you can eat and last night, they were serving smoked turkey, bangers and mash, cajun gumbo and about 3-4 other main entrees I never got around to. But despite throwing down a plate full of pretty tasty food, I went back for a hot dog later. Didn't really have room, but how do you pass up free hot dogs?Oh, and I also grabbed a bag of jelly beans and ate those.

I'm holding out hope for the Upstate NY Cornhole Zooks and I discussed once. We could have it at some crappy casino like Turning Stone. He could grab Thorn, and meet me and Bakes and maybe Homer for a night serious drinking and shenanigans.

I know it won't happen, but a man can dream.

Yea, I still have some family up Tasker's way. Next time I head up there we should meet at Duff's or the Anchor Bar. I haven't been to either in ages and miss me some Buffalo wings and beer.

this is worth reading if you're really bored and drinking

You know I read that I loved the ending but was I thought he really could have made the story a lot shorter. The first 2/3 weren't necessary.

The guy likes to write

I emailed this story to a few co-workers and friends. Our head trader finally got around to reading it today. Judging by his reaction, I'm guessing he found it a touch amusing.Yes, that is his real laugh.

wtf is that painting on the wall?

I think they call it 'art'. Boss's wife decorated the place. I have no idea. I don't ask such questions. So long as the checks cash, I don't care if the walls are painted in human feces.

It looks like its a painting of floor traders? That's why I was asking. Never seen an oil painting of that and was curious. I guess your office is where they would hang one if it existed.

Well, there's definitely a theme involved as there is more than one painting in this office with this same motif. However, these people are not traders....they look more like patrons at a bar or party. Boss's wife is artsy fartsy, so she does all the decorating and will sometimes slip into our office and 're-arrange' things or 're-decorate'. I don't think she cares that the 5 of us could work in a forlorn garage and be fine, so long as we had access to real time quotes, internet and a toilet.

I gave up keeping track of cornholers when I saw Tigerfan was beating the snot out of me. He wins.

I'd be afraid of listing them because I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings by leaving someone out.I did list them once. I don't know if I left someone out, but I felt bad anyways at the possibility.

 

[Gadzooks]

How do I post to the GMTAN Titter feed thingy? I can read it but I don't want to post with my name in case the government or Mr Ham reads it. I'm currently pre-gaming for a big Chamber event that will involve booze, a pig roast and me possibly Strykerpking the 22 year old (I'm assuming everyone knows that "Strykerpking" means making sweet sweet love in a bathroom) The group texting takes too long for me to figure out.

I'm sure I left some people out too. My memory is for crap.

None of the rest of you got to cornhole with the mumujersey TM, so I still kinda feel like IB and I are winning.

 

[Mr.Pack]

So I'm finally finishing up my degree online through UT-Arlington. For some reason, none of the science classes I took transfer directly to UTA, so I'm taking freshman biology this semester. The whole first chapter is an overview of science. It spends a ton of time talking about science and religion and how they're not necessarily in conflict and how some people are scientists and religious and some people are scientists and atheists and it's not that big of a deal. I find this very weird. I went to high school in a small town in Texas and took biology at UT-Austin. I don't remember either of those classes needing to address the topic. Have the religious wackos protested to the point that this actually has to be covered in college classes everywhere, or is this just a quirk of this course?

Holy crap, I'm doing the same thing
