Also so like are you an alias? People want to know.

I just assumed Sweet Feet was Fuller.

 

[shuke]

Tanner, does getting old get any easier?

 

[shuke]

On my third cup of coffee tonight.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Giving this away at a white elephant gift exchange tonight. I forget who around here I stole the idea from, but thank you.

I doubt if I was the first one to do this but about 6-7 years ago I took a pic of myself in a green plaid sportcoat by the Xmas tree and gave it away at our work party (along with a $20 restaurant GC).It made the rounds the next few years. Finally the last guy who ended up with it gave it back to me at the end of the school year since he was changing schools. Pretty sure I still have it somewhere.

 

[kevzilla]

I had port tonight

Certainly gets the job done.

Sorry about the eye gout, Shuke.

Been waiting all night for someone else to say that.My dad gets those, too. He says they're actually beautiful, but irritating at the same time.

I gave Wilked a tshirt with a pic of me eating piazza on it for a secret Santa gift years ago. I also gave Jethro one of me holding a beer which he "lost".EDIT: That pic is epic btw.

Pizza shirt was one of best ever.For our office white elephant this year I gave a 6 pack of Miller High Life tallboys with this picture framed and autographed with "To my biggest fan. Keep livin' the High Life".

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Please note- All you stuckup 30 somethings too busy to take a call will not be getting a card from Uncle cos this year. I suck at keeping addresses. I only could find maybe four or five and one of them was Tanner's Middle school.

What was that about again? A thumb-drive or something?

 

[shuke]

Honestly never heard of an automat until today.

Sorry, the phone was like 8 feet away and I just didn't feel like getting up. It's ok though, I hate Christmas cards.

 

[Abraham]

Who hates Christmas cards? Especially when cos calls and says "I found these and decided to mail them out because it seemed like too much trouble to simply throw them away."

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Honestly never heard of an automat until today.

Horn and Hardart FTW

 

[General Malaise]

Honestly never heard of an automat until today.

What is an automat? Is that like a photomat for digital cameras?Also...itunes and DVDs? We get to the bottom of this one? I'm still perplexed.

 

[Josie Maran]

Honestly never heard of an automat until today.

Never knew they were called automats, but I've seen them in old movies and stuff.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

What's an automat?

Also, I throw Christmas cards out. Save the postage.

Had to Excite it....so it's a vending machine with sandwiches?

Oh my mother####ing god.

Going to kripple now.

So good that I'm going on vacation starting tomorrow, or...well, guess I shouldn't joke about workplace shootings.

[kevzilla]

Was going to hit the sack, but the prospect of Shukeling and Krippling at the same time...may stay up a while.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Biggest mullet in Shantytown.

I have a four-hour meeting on our debt agreements starting at noon. If I were going to quit, I really should do it in the next three minutes.

Guess I'll just try to work some shtick in somehow.

"Guys, if you let me bail on this meeting, I'd be forever....WAIT FOR IT....WAIT!...indebted to you all."

Give them the "Debt Agreement???" in your best Jim Mora/Allen Iverson tone.

All great ideas. Sadly the meeting was even more unbearable than I imagined, complete with GAAP humor. Not kidding. Worse than that, it was the best part of my day.

 

[bentley]

Shuke - Sorry about your head and stuff. Weren't you supposed to be in Austin this month?

cos - No missed calls here.

K4 - Can't wait to read the summary.

 

[Britney Spears]

Most of my Nebraska driving was during nighttime today so I didn't really see much of it. Currently in Omaha.

Driving two thousand plus miles is a great way to get ready for the holidays. I don't want to do anything or go anywhere for awhile.

What kind of food have you been eating on the trip?

only stopped to eat a sit-down type meal 3 times so far.Once was near Boise at a pizza place that was pretty good.

Then in Fort Collins, CO last night we ate at this place and it was pretty awesome. Had some mac and cheese loaded with bacon, some fried chicken and waffles, some steak & potatoes, etc.

Also went out to this place for breakfast today and it was phenomenal. Had a breakfast pot pie, some french toast, and a tasty beermosa.

Otherwise, it's been mostly fast food. Taco Time in Wyoming. Some Arby's (zooks>hi) in Nebraska. Every hotel offers a free breakfast buffet so had a bit of that along the way. Nothing too exciting. Been tough to find a Starbucks lately too so I've been drinking McD's coffee. It's weak.

We always have trouble finding good food on the road.

[krista4]

Oh krista. I'll get a VIBRO review up in the next couple of days. You wanna check it out before I post? It's gonna be all good.

I would suggest leaving out the word "midget".

Also "sex trafficking"

And dictate it to Julio.

Understood. Just what DID we call them before the Great War? Your memory is better than mine.

I don't need to read anything in advance. Just be honest!

 

[Britney Spears]

I tried to become Facebook friends with some of you who's names I recognize, in case you are wondering who the weirdo is.

I recognized the cute gf wife from your profile here.

Don't try to deflect.

I shave my head.. does that count?

This is what I've been doing when I forget to make it in the am. It's a dollar. #poorbastard

Guys, just swing by and I'll get you some via or something.

 

[shuke]

Shuke - Sorry about your head and stuff. Weren't you supposed to be in Austin this month?

Sorry, I was a few weeks ago but didn't bother telling you guys because I knew I wouldn't be free any evening. We had the office Christmas party at Dart Bowl. I had the "famous" enchiladas.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

The menu has gone way downhill in recent years. Only think worth eating is the breakfast. The French toast is stellar.

 

[Guster]

Shuke - Sorry about your head and stuff. Weren't you supposed to be in Austin this month?

cos - No missed calls here.

K4 - Can't wait to read the summary.

So did anyone actually get a call from Cos??

Yeah, those will cause problems in your toilet later. I hadn't been to Dart Bowl in years but we took JR there a few weeks ago because he wanted to bowl. He lasted four frames before he was done and ready to go home.

Before I forget, and because it's really important, I wanted to relay that Mr. krista has a colleague who is apparently a good chef but not very experienced, smart or worldly. They recently upgraded so that the paper towel and soap dispensers at the restaurant are automatic, which this guy has never seen. So Mr. krista and the sous chef convinced the guy that, while you put your hands under the device, you have to simultaneously shout "PAPER!!!" or "SOAP!!!" at the the relevant machine. For a few days he just stood and shouted at machines in his deep Southern accent until the head chef noticed and took pity on him.

I need to work something like this into my work shtick.

I did get in a well-placed "that's what she said" today but I'm not sure anyone understood. This is what happens when you have a boss that, I'm not kidding, watched the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader reality show called "Making the Team" in order to get management tips. I really mean that; that's what he took from it.

 

[krista4]

My faith in my 6 year old daughter's future is starting to look bright. After years of Hannah Montana, Katy Perry and Justin Bieber, she is starting to sing along with my music in the car. Her current favorites are 'Madness' by Muse and 'Sympathy for the Devil'.

My son begs me almost every time we're in my car to play Arcade Fire.

Now that is cool.

Sooooo................hire lots of young chicks with big boobs. Sounds like a sound plan to me.

My business is falling apart. I've spent 4 years building something and this ### #### fixking economy is going to kill it.

Oh look, another beer!

we convinced my old receptionist that we had upgraded our copier to voice recognition. she must have yelled "10 copies!" at the thing for 15-20 minutes before someone took pity on her.

 

[krista4]

I'm worried about Krista.

Which reason?ETA: I'm assuming you meant me.

Abe - I totally agree that it's a terrible time to be in business in this city.

Austin should expect solid economic growth and a healthy economy in 2013 and 2014, according to one leading economist.Angelos Angelou, principal executive officer for Angelou Economics, delivered his annual economic forecast Dec. 11."We pride ourselves on our forecast and not overshooting our numbers, but I cannot help, given the economic development here, and through the efforts of the city, county and state, but be very bullish for the next year," he said.Angelou forecast the Austin economy would add 29,000 jobs in 2013 and more than 30,000 in 2014. The strongest growth areas would be in business and professional services, leisure and hospitality, construction, education, and health services.He predicted that the unemployment rate would drop to 5.2 percent, the lowest it has been since 2008.

Neat. Our business is throughout the country. So this is of no help. But thanks for the concern.
