GM's thread about nothing (34 Viewers)

Just broke up with Non-Reader. Took only two texts, ironically.

She texted me last Thursday asking if I wanted to go to the Mavericks game that Friday. I politely declined, letting her know that I had my kids that weekend, and it just would not work out logistically. She got real pissy and short about it, and hadn't talked or texted me since. So I just told her we are not a match, she quickly replied and that is done.

Spent the rest of the night getting my Christmas tree and all the decorations out of the living room, watched Heat/Celtics and watching WBC (please don't get hurt Profar) now. All in all, a productive night.
what?

Hi, I am Homer and I have a drinking problem. :banned:

I have several pages to catch up on, but I vaguely remember being a total d-bag to somebody last night. Was it Sofa? Maybe Tiger Fan? I don't know, something about basketball. Anyway, I was also verbally violent toward several facebook friends, so don't feel special that I chose you to throw some drunken Irishness at.

So take my apology and shove it up your ###.

WHEEEEEE! :pickle:
all clear here GB

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...
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
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?

Homer - why the rush to go somewhere else? Yeah, you have the freedom to do so and can go anywhere but if you are happy right now, why not keep doing that until you aren't happy?
'Cause I can go tropical for a few months and come back here when the season starts up again. :shrug:Fall in the northeast is awesome...carry that into the holidays with family and friends...and then my choice is either four months of dreary/miserable/cold Long Island or beaches/babes/sunshine somewhere near the equator. Which would you choose?
Oh, i misunderstood. I thought you were talking about leaving Gatsby's for good. Aren't you in the middle of four months of dreary/miserable/cold at the moment? So you're talking about a plan for next year? DO you need to have a way to make money or are you saving some loot? I would offer this...1. Come to Austin as full-time Stoner Poodle Caretaker2. Volunteer for something in an impoverished area. I can certainly see the appeal of bartending at a beach bar in the Bahamas or packing around Europe having a beer in 15 different countries. But at least consider - for a moment - doing something for 4 months that will change who you are and change your perspective on the world for the rest of your life. Just a suggestion that I feel obligated to make to a person that truly can go anywhere.
Dude. Seriously.Why ya gotta be a downer? Let's talk about Homer-adventures, not building huts for desert-dwelling sandfarmers.
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: Jebus, I'm such a spectacular ###hole sometimes. :lmao: :lmao:
i love that these posts are within 2 minutes of each other
 
Job

company president called me today asking if she was going to hear from me. :confused: turns out she didn't get my proposal. So I resent. And we keep our fingers crossed.

Just got word that Stupid Ungrateful Hoor who quit just told one of her former clients she shouldn't buy from me "because he's really mean". You know what? NOWI feel like being really mean. She must really be feeling the heat to get this desperate but what are my options here?
How did you find out she'd said this? Did the client tell you?
The client told our customer service rep that she is close to here who passed it on to my Dad because she had to leave and I wasn't in the office.
I'm busy as hell but will be back later tonight. Should I get the Hennepin County Prosecutor involved? I'm not happy about this.
I think you need to do something to shut her up. Maybe a letter from a lawyer to scare her? Threaten a defamation suit?

Think I just negotiated a final deal for a new job. Owner is going to think about it and get back to me tomorrow, but he said he thinks it's doable.
Congrats fish!Hope it works out well for you! :banned:
 
Omgomgomg. I'm at a bar between the most awkward first date ever and my friend Kacey, who earlier shared with me that she is now in a relationship with a "guest of the state", who on her way to the bathroom struck up a conversation with a needy fat dude from the suburbs. ####, now I have to be a good wingman.
English - do you speak it?
Thank you. Glad I'm not the only one.
 
Ok, doing the "I'm beat but know you'll take care of my friend" move. Fingers crossed.
How unattractive is she that she needs your help picking up a fat guy in a bar?
No kidding.
He wasn't actually fat. I was embellishing. He was likely much smaller than the average GMTANer. I'm not sure she needed my help but it's been a long time since I've been a wing woman, and she e-mailed me after to tell me what a good job I did.
2400!!!Krista>you get any chocolates out of that old job?
Not any more. :fat:

So she had the sex?

Shockingly, that is not how women view success in this regard. YSR needs to back me up here. ;) (Also, I don't think so. But maybe soon?)

:mellow:He asked her out for crumpets...?
 
The proposal includes me working where I want, when I want, and being accountable only for results.
That sounds like a dream job to me. :thumbup:
Yes, but is that the job you've actually been interviewing for?
Nah, Abe is ahead of me in that regard.And just to make Abe's head explode, I'm right now reviewing a seven-page Q&A they've prepared about my departure. :lmao: I will agree that that is overkill. Also the final question, which is "what do we do if the media contacts us?" :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: I can guarantee, and will post chet-money, that there is not a soul in the media that will give a good ####### about me. To answer immediate question, I still haven't a clue what I'm doing. When I have all the options in hand, I'll post a GMTAN-only poll to see WTF. I liked the fisherman story a LOT, though. WTMF am I doing continuing with this stuff?

K4 - if I had real freedom, no kid (although I wouldn't trade her for anything), supportive spouse, a way to not go broke either through savings or whatnot, and I was in your position I would:

Buy a one way ticket to Nicaragua. Sleep late every day until I forgot what an alarm clock sounded like. Drink good coffee all day until it was time to drink good booze. Surround myself with people and get to know them - everyone is interesting if you shut up and listen. And id write - a blog, a journal, a novel. I'd write things id want no one to see. I'd write things id want everyone to see.

Then id pack up and head back to the USA, landing wherever. Rent a car and get on the interstate and drive around looking for what's interesting.

I used to dream of being a rock star. I used to work hard to be one too. And I always imagined coming "home" from a tour and going somewhere random to find inspiration for the next record. Just checking in to a hotel in Del Rio or Tampa or Reno or wherever and strumming a guitar in the dark waiting for the next great song to emerge.

Eta - I equate an alarm clock to being a slave to someone else's schedule. I've used one about five times in the last five years since I started my business, mostly when we needed to get on the road for a holiday function or whatever. I'm so broke I can't see straight and my entire life is bordering financial ruin, but I'm never using a ####### alarm clock again. Peace be with you, and may you never have to report to someone else's clock again.

Well, one thing's for sure. It will definitely receive extensive coverage on the company's social Intranet that I've read all about.GLGB Krista

I love you.Well, OK, I don't, but we use that a lot lately, and it's the only way to express to you how much this post means to me.Seriously. Thank you.

I haven't used an alarm clock in 3 years, 9 months and 20 days. Or, to put it another way, since the day JR was born.

OMG, I totally need to Yammer this up.
 
I'm pretty sure that as men (and YSRs) that we have to solve your problem now rather than just letting you vent.

Life is too short to make yourself so terribly unhappy because of stuff like this. All these people may leave and the may find themselves in happier situations as a result. If your company sucks so bad that you're the only reason they can stand to be there, they probably should also go.

ETA - Which is exactly what I would say if there was a relevant post that anyone made right before I posted this.

Krista, it looks like you removed your super-me-focused post, but you don't have to do that. You can vent here. And if Kacey is still looking for a fat guy from the suburbs, hook a brother up.

Thorn>I was in Vegas for six nights. Last night, I think my liver consulted a divorce attorney while I was unconscious.

Hypothetically, I might have felt too me-focused, vent-y. But thank you guys, hypothetically, anyway. ;)kev, she'd be lucky to be with a guy like you, and you'd be lucky to be with her. Seriously just a couple of lovely people.

It didn't happen. My flight kept getting delayed, then was canceled. Then I transfered to another flight, which was delayed. By the time I got here at 9:30, they were both in bed. :shrug:
:kicksrock:
Night #2. A text to both them an hour ago went unanswered. :confused:
Disappointed!!!
 
Sorry Shuke. Missed it.

When I hadn't heard from you by 10pm or so, I figured you were busy tonight.

K4> If you moved to Panama or whatever permanently or semi-permanently, would you miss your American friends? Are there things that you'd be itchy to come back for?

 
Ok, so this girl tonight...let's call her Sally...because that's her name. She's currently getting her MBA and a master's in International Policy. She speaks Spanish, French, Portugese, Arabic and Farsi. This chick is a brain with legs, yet luckily has horrible taste in men. :thumbup:
