GM's thread about nothing (29 Viewers)

It seems like everybody in here is a lawyer. Any sales people at all? I know y'all sell in one way or another but actually going out and drumming up new business?
I'm a buyer in a procurement organization (B2B). I can't stand most sales people, but really learn to appreciate the good ones.
I do no law and sell very little. Instead, my day at the office looks like this: Should I paint that weird/ stupid mixed up chameleon thing, or get to work on my page with Nelson Muntz and the rock 'em sock 'emDecision: probably to both
 
I have been using nylon bags for years too, and it always bugs me when I need to run out to the store for something and forget to bring one with me. To be honest, I wouldn't mind paying a small 'tax' for a plastic bag (even though I recycle these also). I almost always refuse bags if I don't have one with me.
We use them sometimes, but I have a wood burning stove and paper bags are the perfect fire starter. I always want explain this to the disgusted faces of our hippy grocery clerks when I ask for paper, but never do. Call it masochism or schadenfreude or just plain being a ####, but it cracks me up when they're convinced I'm out to piss on the world with my paper grocery bags.
If only they knew you were going to convert them to airborne pollution.
Burning wood is airborne pollution now?
In central California it is. We've got some terrible air here because of the valley we live in (among other things). There are days when you aren't allowed to use your fireplace. See this.

You don't sell the steak...you sell the sizzle!Does that help?
Not exactly what I was getting at but thanks. :lmao:

Hey Bob...do you sell rolls of laminating sheets? I came into the workroom this morning and found this.Looks like someone turned the machine on to warm it up but also hit "go" or "laminate" or whatever before walking away. I guess when they came back to see what looks like 40 feet of laminated sheets with nothing in between them they just took off. :lmao:
:lmao: That's a costly mistake.

:lmao: I don't know if I shared this story, but a few weeks ago I was in Target, and I look down and realize I've been pushing around someone else's cart for five minutes. Instead of trying to fix the mix-up, I just left it there and walked out of the store.

I bought a reusable bag. Even kept it in my car to remember to use it. Guess who never remembers to use it? :bag:Also, I like the plastic bags for dog poop pick up on walks. What are people supposed to use when they put an end to plastic bags? :confused:

You need to wash those things pretty often. Good luck with your diseases.Personally I would like to see paper bags only. They are easily recyclable and user friendly. They had it right the first time.

Damn it anyway. I was supposed to be taking a marketing guy out to lunch ant one of my favorite restaurants at 11:00 and he just canceled saying he had "car trouble". Sure. :rolleyes:I'm as tight as a drum here and was really looking forward to this. Going for a massage at 2 instead.
Still pissed about lunch yesterday. Took a friend to Houlihan's and ordered the scallops with asparagus risotto. They bring me 4 small bay scallops with about an ice cream scoop of risotto. It was barely an appetizer. So after lunch I went and got a turkey sandwich from Panera. It was only then that I realized we were right by a great cajun place and we could have gone there. :wall: #firstworldproblems

They have 85 locations, guy. I just sent them some feedback. :mellow: I WANT MY SCALLOPS!!11~!MILOSH!11!
 
I drove to Seattle Thursday for a conference and then back Friday morning. I stayed with a buddy and we played poker and drank beers and smoked stuff until 2am. So when I woke up at the crack of 9 to head south, I had a little hunger brewing and the need for some grease. The drive back SUCKED. Torrential rain the whole way with heavy traffic. Every time I passed a truck (there were millions of them, all going 70-75) in the left hand lane, my visibility was reduced to nothing. It was not so fun.So I stopped a few times along the way. First, at Starbucks for a much needed caffeine fix. It was 10:30 now and I was dying for some food, but I had no idea where I was. If you've ever driven south from Seattle, you'll note that its exits are virtual mazes that make no sense and confuse the ever living hell out of everybody who dares exit. I tried to find a breakfast spot, but kept getting spun around, gave up and limped into a McDonald's Drive Thru. Whatever, at this point, I was ready to eat my hand. I pull up, order up two sausage egg and cheese biscuits only to be told that they no longer serve breakfast. It's not even 11. Well, I'm boxed in now and I didn't want to just order nothing and wait, so I ordered a Big Mac. I haven't had one of those in 10 years at least. I thought it would be enough to satisfy me. They look so big on the commercials. Yeah, I was done in like 4 bites, with lettuce, seeds and sauce spilled all over my person. Navigating the Highway of Hell with a sloppy burger in one hand and a coffee in the other was fun.Okay, so that didn't really fill me up. It just made me angry. So I barrel down I-5 furious at the world when all of the sudden I spot a familiar orange glow in the blurred distance of my windshield. Is that.....IS THAT HOOTERS!?!?!?!?!111 :excited: :excited: :excited: My car literally jerked off the road, parked itself in the lot and ejected me into the bar section where I learned at 11am, I was all alone in the most depressing, forlorn looking Hooters I've ever seen in my life. The girls looked like the worn down hookers from Deadwood. But, I was starving and I hated the drive and, well, BOOBS!!!!I ordered up some wings and a beer and read the free Seattle weekly reader. The wings were atrocious. They were also served to me at about 900 degrees farenhiet (I'm not even gonna try), so my first bite destroyed the top of my mouth to the point that I'm still playing with the loose hanging skin a week later. I still finished, as I often do, but man was I disappointed. The End,Guster

How do you like your scallops?
 
Photo my neighbor took of the alleged perp's vehicle.

Sleuth Neighbor wanted to place a GPS tracking device on the car so we would know when he's approaching, but neighborhood association president talked him out of it. Surprised he didn't make molds of the tire tracks and match them to the vehicle.

I declined to participate in last night's stakeout, wanted to watch TV. Perp didn't show. Reign of terror continues.

 
was posted in the "This is funny" thread back in November but needs to be here too. It's not funny so much as just oddly awesome.

You can see how this fiendish criminal mastermind has eluded capture through his efforts to remain inconspicuous.

Hooters wings are atrocious.
Yeah, bad. Real bad. I guess I never really ate the wings when I used to frequent the joint in my miserable first marriage. Beers were always good. Found a good babysitter there. :bag:
:lmao:
:lmao: GM, did you ever get your SB winnings?

 
Can't a plate be made out from that pic and, y'know, forwarded to the police? Instead of the Batman business?
Yeah there's another shot of the plate itself. The head of the neighborhood association (a lawyer whose husband is - no kidding - an FBI agent) sent them to the investigating officer this morning. She had been waiting for a couple of days at the request of other neighbors who wanted to catch him in the act. Now that the cops have this info, I'm sure they'll go throw a scare into him and stop him from doing it anymore, but I don't see anyway they can prove it was him and get him to pay restitution (not so much to our neighborhood, as to the Rec Council, whose baseball diamond he shredded).

A two year break, nice. I was telling Mrs. SLB last night how when I was a younger man I used to laugh at the older guys being like Gil. Now I feel like I'm slowly but surely turning into him.

You know... modern cell phones has GPS now. HTH

Well, the break was dipping my toe into entrepreneurship (suck it, GM), which flamed out badly.I loathe what I do, which is why got into broadcasting/future voice over work. I feel like Ol' Gil virtually every day.
