GM's thread about nothing (34 Viewers)

[Bogart]

GM, if you happen to end up in Dallas on 4/4 and have time to kill, I'm off work and planning an all day Dallas brewery tour at three local places from noon until late.

This needs to happen. And I need to film it.

Why is flying so ####### ### #### mother bull#### ####### expensive? eat a ####, airlines.

All I want to do is go to Jackson, Mississippi. Not Paris, not Istanbul, not Tokyo, not Saturn. Jackson ####### Mississippi, the hell hole of the south, a breeding ground for giant cockroaches and ignorance. That flight should be free. The state should subsidize tickets for people actually flying into it because I assure you, once I land, I'll drop good money on your liquor, your gambling and probably some pretty dumb impulse purchases. But #### you, airlines. #### in you the ear. And #### you the 2,500 miles it would take me to drive there one way. And #### you t-shirt makers who promise on a deliverable and then back out at the last minute. #### you not in the ear hole but the eye hole.Ban me.

Jackson isn't exactly a major hub... Might have better luck looking at Memphis, although even that might require a stop through Atlanta.

Yeah, I know. I'm just venting. I'm flying to Dallas and driving. Take that, airlines.

When is the trip?

4/4 - 4/8

Guess I'm confused. I found 545 tickets for those dates, with United I believe. The Dallas rt is 350, so if 200-ish more, and you add a rental car cost and a 12hour roundtrip driving?ETA: Yeah, 1 stop, United 4/4 to 4/8 PDX to JAN $549

I'll look. Been pricelining this for weeks now with little luck finding anything < $600. Southwest to Dallas was $300 last night and hotwire Rental was $75 for the four days. Again, just venting. Frustrated.

Southwest flies to Little Rock. Wouldn't that be closer?

A little bit closer (about an hour each way by car) but I know folks in Big D, so can see them before heading east. Drive from Dallas to Jackson can be done with eyes closed. Seriously, it is the flattest, straightest drive you can imagine. Wonder if they still have drive-thru daquari (sp?) huts off the 20?

You know, it's a very interesting dynamic in my life when I'm far more interested in partying with Dallas guys I met off the internet than I am in seeing some of my Dallas friends I've known since the early 80s.

Now this is the story all about howMy life got flipped, turned upside downI could have saved my money and bought a LexusInstead I became the prince of a town called Austin TexasIn west Youngstown born and raisedIn the bar where I spent most of my daysDrinking, smoking, listening to The BossContemplating visiting some dude named "Cos"When a couple of guys, wanted to pound me to smushSo I squared-up to both and gave them a pushThen I packed up some vodka and carton of smokesAnd moved in with the stoner poodles at Albert Oaks...

MacArtist, hang in there. The world's changing. Sucks you and wife have to deal with the ignorant end of it, but I'm pretty much in awe of your guts.

They sounded off to us. Not sure how much of that was them and how much was us just being exhausted, but we left after about five songs.They were great the other times I've seen them though.

You need a bachelor party like Bill Gates needs a loan.

Sorry to hear, MacArtist. People are dumb sometimes.

 

[MacArtist]

I'm a Christian but I don't understand the whole gay marriage thing. The bible has a lot of stuff in it, and most Christians do a terrible job following most of it. But for some reason many of them/us get fired up about gay marriage and know chapter and verse...but can't even name a single book that talks about love and conpassion and acceptance and having a heart open to helping and healing others. It's bizarre.

Me either. Drives me nuts. One thing that's for sure is that it's pretty pointless to talk with them about it. The angriest I've ever seen my Glen Beck loving father-in-law get was when my wife dared question him about it. Came up when we were discussing her cousin (his niece) who got married to another woman in Canada.I don't want to get in in much of a religious debate here, but the other problem is that they're largely wrong. Outside of Leviticus (which has all kinds of absurd stuff that we choose to ignore), homosexuality doesn't really seem to be any worse than any other kind of extramarital sex. And I'd love to see those folks judge themselves by this standard:

The sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, passive homosexual partners, practicing homosexuals, thieves, the greedy, drunkards, the verbally abusive, and swindlers will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Do either of you Austin Gents know a guy in the t-shirt biz? We had a vendor back out on us at the last minute. Scrambling.TIA.Also, Mac - your package should be there any day now if it hasn't come already. Look carefully in the deck of cards I sent you.

It hasn't come yet, but can't wait to get it! I'll let you know when it does. As for the vendors, you have to be kidding me! Hope you can get the files from them at the very least. Let me know if you need anything else. Xo.

Hey guys a friend of my daughters at college has cancer and is doing a fund raising marathon.

Here is a link to her fundraising page

If you could find it in your heart to make a donation that would be awesome. She's a great kid and has been through a lot. I'm going to post in the FFA as well, but thought it would be good to post here too.

Thanks!

Pity bump

Just need to vent.My brother, who I came out to at age 22 and was seemingly fine has turned into a #####.1. Despite my being the "best man" at his wedding (in a dress) and ignoring the groomsmen behind me pleas to "Speak up", I remained silent. (His life, his decision. They just didn't like her and she was faithful). I never told him since these were his best buds at the time and I didn't want to get them in trouble. This was 10 years ago.2. Fast-forward to March 2012. My SIL's sister was living with her boyfriend before marriage. (I don't care, but pertinent to story). My wife and I were asked by SIL to shoot the wedding in Austin (we are in Dallas). We said, "Sure!" Did it for free, family and all. During reception, told brother that wife had asked me to marry her. No congrats. Not close. Was told by younger brother that marriage is between only man, woman, and God. I wanted to strangle him metaphorically by bringing up marriage in the Old Testament and in other religions where women are property. Unfortunately, the bride/groom dance started.A few months later, my wife and I got married in Mass. On the beach. Tiny wedding. Two on her side and two on mine. We threw a big reception afterwards with 1.5 month notice in advance. My brother couldn't make it because be had to play in his church band. Guitar. He could have found a replacement within 6 weeks. There was NO acknowledgement of our marriage whatsoever.3. I found our they were in prior to Xmas. AskedHim to come over to pick up cards. He shows up with a dip-cup yet rats me out as being a smoker to my parents (which I didn't do in front of him.)4. We get a letter In the mail about his mission trip to China, he is hitting is up for donations for his mission trip to China. A trip made under false pretenses. And he has the nerve to address the envelope as [first name] and [first name] when he knows damn well that her name And mine are hypenated the same. We made a donation to HRC in his name. Hope he "Injoys".

OK, I tagged along wth other people's thoughts last night because I figured they were right about whatever they were saying, and I couldn't make heads or tails of this. I've just spent some time diagramming and digesting it and wanted to say, with more knowledge this time, that I'm really sorry your brother is #### of ######### who is #######. At some point, I just wouldn't even try to have a relationship with him if he were my brother. You are more patient than I. Love the donation!!

Thanks, K4. I'm still so pissed. And I'm sorry it took so long to decipher. That's what happens when you mix a bottle of wine + FBG + iPhone + a furious MacArtist. I may go back later and clean it up.By the way, good luck on your new job. It's always hard leaving when you have a great team surrounding you vs. a crappy one.PS. I only talk to him because of my niece. She is five and adores me, and I adore her as well. I want to remain in her life. That's the only thing keeping me from tearing him a new hole on my page and tagging him in it so that everyone can see what a #### he is being.

I haven't talked to my sister in over a month. It's been...relaxing.

 

[krista4]

We are sad to announce today that Krista4 has decided to leave the company to follow her passion of posting in one specific thread in the off-topic forum of a fantasy football website. We wish her the best of luck in catching Furley in post count in the coming years. Krista4 will be dearly missed. YIC,Incompetent Management

Krista - at the risk of sounding like a d bag, I'm not sure I've ever seen a situation in work where the leaving party didn't overvalue themselves and the remaining workers didn't simple shrug ther shoulders, have a slice of cake, and go on with their lives. I think it's awesome that you adore your team. A lot of companies would be better with people that cared like you do. But I guess my (honest) question is this: why is you leaving such a big deal? Won't they just hire your replacement and six months from now the wheels will still he turning? Why is it more complicated for the pr guy than just saying "one of our senior people is moving on and we wish her well."?Not trying to be rude, just wondering what makes this different. The CEO of EA, a guy who lived and breathed that company for 20 years, resigned today. And his minions will show up for work tomorrow and move on. Just curious about your situation.

I left Kraft while I was in the midst of selling their pizza brands for $4 billion and buying Cadbury for $20 billion, and I was sure they would barely miss a beat. This is a very different situation, but when I tried to type it out as a reply, I couldn't avoid sounding even douchier than your post. I'll just say there is a level of loyalty and team orientation that distinguishes it.

Yes, I know my job sucks but my TEAM is incredible, and unlike any other job I've had I feel like I formed and nurtured that team. Going to be very, very difficult next week. The fact that we got through today, though, means I've finally taken irrevocable steps (well, mostly) to getting out.

Don't worry, don't they all have cancer?? They have bigger things to worry about.

Now THAT is funny. (Although also kind of sad--three of them do but two are very curable.)

Any of you guys into paleo, sustainable agriculture, organic farming. local food movement, slow food , permaculture, or aquaponics? We are hosting a couple of round table dinners in the next two weeks with some of the country's leading authorities n attendance. If you are in Austin or can be, let me know and I'll get you an invite.

Sounds really cool. I'm avoiding travel until I get my life figured out. :(

Hawaii? Brazil? Southeast Asia? Europe? South Pacific? The Bahamas?There's gotta be some world travellers up in this mofo besides Krista, so I want some input.

I'm going to pretend you solicited my input. No on Hawaii--way too expensive. Most places in Europe will be too cold at that time; no reason to leave NY if you're just looking for chilly and gloomy. The Bahamas kind of suck. Would be good timing for Brazil, I think, unless the World Cup affects it in some way. Would be very good timing for SE Asia--you pretty much would miss the typhoon season. Also SE Asia is a place you could travel around very, very inexpensively. That would be my top choice--just so many cool places to go.

Sorry to hear all of that, McArtist. Good luck, K4

Thanks, and thanks SLB.Very awkward right now in that I haven't decided what to do. Love that fisherman story that was posted, BTW. But anyway, makes the announcement a bit awkward. Usually you'd see so-and-so is leaving because of great opportunity X. If someone is fired you get "leaving to pursue other opportunities". Mine we have to word more like the latter since I haven't decided, but without making it seem like I was fired. Of course, with my team I intend to tell the truth, which won't be a surprise, but for broader consumption it would be better if I were throwing some great job on there instead of being forthright and doing a "#### you" to the company. Our SVP of Communications has his hands full drafting this.

File this under "things you should not care about".

 

[krista4]

So, tomorrow I have to do the thing that gives me anxiety. We are flying to Arizona with the kids for Spring Break. No, vacation does not give me anxiety but flying does. Add in the fact that the kids are with us and it is a 3 hour flight and I am hot mess now. Any other folks out here anxious about flying? Outside of drugs and liquor how have you dealt with it. Any advice from K4 would be welcome as i understand she is a professional flyer - being in the uber diamond level elite level for airline rewards

Sorry as I won't be any help at all. I've never had an issue with flying. YSR is your authority here.

Sorry to hear all of that, McArtist. Good luck, K4

Well that makes perfect sense. Definitely worth it to be a part of her life.

 

[Bogart]

The Wiccan just texted me to let me know that her new boyfriend (the guy responsible for my FWB situation to end) is moving into her place in August and she could see them getting married shortly after.

So instead of being that guy that drives women into lesbianism, I guess I'm that guy that drives women into quick nuptials.

Fair enough. I wasn't trying to be a jerk, just trying to understand. In a roundabout way I was hoping it might make the situation easier on you. Of it is as you say then I'm sure the team will miss you. Good luck.

Is there a reason behind this 5 month plan?

His lease being up. Plus, she is a horder (one reason I broke it off), so she needs time to make space.

 

[charvik]

I feel like I had some homeresque reading comprehension, but what time period is he looking to travel?

If he's looking for sun, Southeast Asia would be fine in the winter, but finding a well paid bartender job, where he could get tips wouldn't be easy there. If it is in fact winter time, ski resorts are your friend.

Tell her you've got the herp

Better him than you.

If I were Homer I'd go to Ireland. Not going to be warm, but not cold either. Friendly people, Ryan Air is based there so cheap travel around Europe is possible, and the culture there, well it just fits.

Homer going to live at Albert Oaks? Sounds like a sitcom in the making.

Now this is the story all about how

My life got flipped, turned upside down

I could have saved my money and bought a Lexus

Instead I became the prince of a town called Austin Texas

In west Youngstown born and raised

In the bar where I spent most of my days

Drinking, smoking, listening to The Boss

Contemplating visiting some dude named "Cos"

When a couple of guys, wanted to pound me to smush

So I squared-up to both and gave them a push

Then I packed up some vodka and carton of smokes

And moved in with the stoner poodles at Albert Oaks...

Come listen to a story about a man overfed

A poor ranconteur, kept his bank account in red,

Then one day he was pokin some young cooze,

And up from his belly gurgled tacos and booze.

Puke that is, butt-up style, Projectile.

Well the first thing you know Homer's chased out of town,

Seems the mayor's kid was the one who almost drown

When covered in bile from her crotch to past her neck

Homer blew the scene and left for Austin Tex.

Cos House that is, Stoner Poodles, free bed and board.

Well now its time to say goodbye to cos and all his kin.

And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin' in.

You're all invited back next year to this locality

To have a heapin' helpin' of cospitality

Old hippie that is. fire one up, Kick back a few.

Y'all come back now, y'hear?

Ok, read back and found the date range, Jan 7th to May.

I would do a ski resort in Austria/Switzerland, work the bars hard and the waitresses/guests harder. When the season ends early April I would hit the Adriatic hard, squandering every cent on cheap booze and cheap women for a month, then head back to the summer season in the hamptons.

She just got tested. She already ruined the joke.

Amen to that. I'm just wondering if I should warn Non-Reader. The next one you meet is the one.

While that is true, I like what GM linked to much better.

Is there a reason behind this 5 month plan?

His lease being up. Plus, she is a horder (one reason I broke it off), so she needs time to make space accumulate more #### that she will then resent him for making her get rid of.

FYP

They should make a movie based on that. I think Dane Cook should play you.
