I must be the only person who doesn't follow that pics thread. I just know Tbone as the guy with the Costanza avatar here.

Yeah I just thought he was a regular dude.

 

[krista4]

Sorry, cos. Good property managers are hard to find. :( Want I should send Julio up for a while?

You might have said it but I missed it--what happened to the nice folks you had down there managing during coshole?

 

[Britney Spears]

Sorry to hear, Cos. Probably for the best that they are gone. Sounds like they couldn't handle the job.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

RIP cosphone. Those dead chickens will probably get some use out of it.

 

[cosjobs]

my vacation blah, blah

This morning the new managers quit.

Jeezus, that sucks. Sorry, man.

thanks, it sucks but better now than wasting a month training them and having to start over when they quit in four weeks. I'm glad they approached my wife this morning with this rather than me. She's been a manager for a long time and when they hedged in its not working out and wanting to talk about it, she replied that she did not want to spend any more time talking about it, pack up and move on down the road. I would have tried to patch the problems and tried to power thru.

Thanks for the offer of Julio, but you need him and i have too many Spanish speaking staff already. The other couple I had were nice, but big time stoners who weren't really into the work thing.

Sorry to hear, Cos. Probably for the best that they are gone. Sounds like they couldn't handle the job.

you are correct. Its for the best. it still sucks, but not as hard as it would later

RIP cosphone. Those dead chickens will probably get some use out of it.

I am not getting the connection, but I am now the reluctant owner of a $650 iPhone. I really would have preferred the $300 Galaxy 2 I buried at sea, but they no longer sell them.

So have our wifi router in the second story but am finishing the remodel on our basement. Should I run cat5 cable from the second level to the basement while I still can?

How hard would it be to fish it after drywall goes up?

Absolutely, phone, cable and speaker wires too.

At worst you will never use them, but they will be there if you need them.

Harper's Index of Stu's Bachelor Party Estimated intensity level of Stu's hangover this morning: 11. Estimated number of venereal diseases contracted by the wedding party: 2. Estimated number of times someone paid for sexual contact: 9 Chances "oops ####" happened: 22% Estimated number of different controlled substances used by the party: 5. Most frequent: cocaine. Most openly used: marijuana. Most secretly used: rohypnol. Estimated number of cigars smoked: 22. Chances a hooker/stripper stuck one in her v@#ina: 48%. Chances Stu smoked it afterward: 98%. Estimated number of times a woman put a pair of panties on Stu's head: 2. Chances at least one pair was sopping wet: 64%. Chances at least one pair was sopping wet with chlamydia: 34%. Chances someone in the wedding party did lines of coke off a hooker or stripper's breasts: 78%. Chances barnyard animals were involved in a hooker/stripper's performance: 47% Chances a hooker/stripper quoted Melville while performing: 1.24% Estimated number of porn flicks watched before going out: 2. Chances one was a gag flick involving she-males: 57% Chances a severely drunk member of the wedding party quietly wept for Stu's lost bachelorhood: 92%. Chance the future Mrs. Stu will one day hear 100% of what happened last night: .0000001%

After hanging out with a few of Stu's "strip club buddies" I can verify that much of this is probably accurate.

What's over/under on number of bachelor parties stu will have?

[Crazy Canuck]

So what exactly does a property manager do? I could use a new career. Does it involve the maths? Or do you just make phone calls and swat at illegal laborers with a broom?

Probably not that hard.

I ran rg6 and speaker already. Not going to do phone as we don't have a landline.

I like box pressed cigars better than the round ones.

And crown royal is so much better than jack daniels.

I meant in general but I just had a nice 5 Vegas Miami boxed press cigar. The 5 Vegas cigars are reasonably priced too.

I joined the staff 10 years ago. Other staffers contribute more these days. They are moving forward with the staffers that offer more content than I do. In years past I have provided a handful of articles, some training camp reports, and game recaps. It's all good.

None that I know of in at least three years. Like I said, it's all good. But I'm a commoner now. Where is the bathroom down here?

Joe and David are great to work with. They are easygoing and let their people do their thing, which makes the site great. It was time for them to move on from having me around. Truly, I'm glad to have been involved early on and will wear my staff sweatshirt with pride.

Wow. So what is next? Are you going to ramp back up quickly or take some time off? How are the funds? Really feel for you - wouldn't wish this on anyone. Did this gig pay much of anything in the past couple of years?

Went to the neighborhood gym tonight and it was closed. So I'm at home drinking a bottle of cheap red wine instead. Also I drink in remembrance of GOat Herders who died for our sins.

And if things get bad, I'm sure MOP would pay top dollar for that sweatshirt.

Sure, it pays fair for what you put in. The rate per page is excellent and I have a talent for churning out quality text content faster than anyone I know, so it worked out well. But my personal troubles have nothing to do with my work here or the generosity shown to me by joe and Dave. I would have loved to have stayed on staff, and with a note of "hey, we need more from you" they would have gotten it. But the staff is enthusiastic so they shouldn't have to ask. Like I said, I'm glad to have been a part of it for a decade and know Fbg will grow well without me.
