Dominated 2 drafts last night. Thanks Rud!

 

[Limp Ditka]

I think for one of my FF team names, I'm gonna use "The Diary of LisFranc."

Thanks. I thought it was clever.

Have stopped what I'm doing twice today and just started laughing because this popped in my head.

I try to use up all my likes every day, so by the time you posted this I couldn't like it, but

I wish I could come up with team names half as clever as that

GM - talked to a recruiter today about a job at Nike (who I was actually interviewing with when I took my current job)

Nike employees love Nike. The pay isn't the best, but the benefits are outstanding. The campus is awesome and you gotta love a place where you can just bump into famous athletes on a daily basis. Plus, you get 50% off of anything Nike sells, which is pretty sweet.

Including cole haan?

Yup, including Cole Haan. I have a sweet pair of tassle loafers I wear almost as much as I wear my fancy watch.

Anyone here ever drank Brux "Domesticated Wild Ale"? Jesus it's bitter and, to drive the nail home, ####### $17 for a pint.

But, I swear by all that is holy, I WILL finish it.

Maybe mix it with Pappy's?

Wait, what? I don't keep up like I should but you work for Nike? Friends and Family program for those Cole Haans? Black penny loafer, no tassles please (they don't pack well ...)

Incredible. I would rather watch soccer on TV than go to the gym right now. But then I look down and yep, I'm still a fat ####. So it's 30 minutes of interval hell on the elliptical for me.

Is your gym without TVs?

Whoa.

I missed the BL news last night (congrats), but am now seeing the posts here and in the movie thread (and who knows where else).

BL, I can't give you legal advice, so the following are just my thoughts as a former executive for two public companies: delete those posts and plead with everyone else to delete those where they've quoted you.

I realize you must be giddy about finally getting an executive position after all your years of hard work, but here are some problems:

1. If your company is public, and there was not an 8-K filed or a press release issued before your postings (I have not seen one yet), you've caused the company to violate the SEC's filing requirements as well as Regulation FD.

2. Many of us know your slave name, and finding out where you work should be very easy. If any of us were to trade in your company's securities based on the information you've posted, you could have insider trading "tipping" issues.

3. All public companies are required to have a Code of Ethics. I haven't looked at yours, but I 99.9% guarantee you have violated it (this would violate every Code I've ever seen).

4. All public companies are also required to have a separate Code of Ethics for people working on financial matters, which I'm sure you are covered by. Those Codes tend to deal with disclosure and accounting controls so might not be relevant to the situation, but you might wish to check.

5. I'm sure the company also has an insider trading policy, which could have been violated as described above.

6. You might have violated any confidentiality agreement you've signed with the company.

If there HAS already been an announcement or 8-K, then some of these concerns go away, but you are likely still in some trouble as I doubt that the CFO "reeling" or the controller committing fraud and running off to Greece as you've described are really the disclosures that your corporate communications and investor relations departments have put together.

You might consider going to your GC with a mea culpa to try to fix this whether or not the posts are deleted. Having the posts deleted of course does not take care of the Reg. FD or insider trading issues, since the information is already out there. The good news on FD is that you can somewhat "cure" a violation if a public announcement is made immediately or promptly (depends upon whether the non-public disclosure was inadvertent or not), so it just might be a question of accelerating disclosure timeframes, which won't make you popular with the communications, investor relations or legal folks, but at least could fix that situation. That's why it might be worth talking to the GC now. You could try the "I haven't been an executive before" excuse, though these rules apply to the rank-and-file accountants, too. As CFO you'll of course be subject to more scrutiny, though.

Of course, you could just roll the dice and hope that nothing bad comes of it, which is the most likely scenario. If I'm remembering the "Drifter said my wife is ugly" spat correctly, though, I know you have a few detractors around here, and as you found in that situation the internet doesn't hide you as well as you might hope. Someone could very well take screen shots before posts are deleted, too.

Sorry to seem so dire, but public disclosure laws are serious business.

You know, I've wondered about this and am glad the mystery is finally solved. Private company with <50 employees? Now I know why you ignored all of this. By the way, they don't list a CFO on their management team on their website--you should have them update that now!

Survived Yukes second birthday party today. Expect cute kid pics on Facebook later.

Currently drinking copious amounts of beer on the porch with the old man and watching JR try to disassemble the battery powered Gator Yuke got for his birthday with a screwdriver and a rubber mallet. Quality parenting.

I knew the minute I walked in that place that I needed to choose a bedroom where the door didn't open on the pool. Not because of the layout of the house, but because I'm a clumsy guy and knew I'd be drunk. I'd have drowned the first night if I stayed in the BR closest to the kitchen.

I wondered why you had stayed in the smaller bedroom up front! I like the one by the kitchen as it's the quietest one. Between that and having the fans and A/C and my white noise machine on, I almost can't hear the marching bands.

No, I don't work there but I know plenty of people who do. I've been lucky to score passes to the employee store a few times and its a trip. If I go again, I'll ask for orders. Hard to walk out of there for less than $500 even with the half-off discount.

Not at all, but none of them have NBC Sports Network. I worked around it.

One thing I've learned about having a smart phone is that you shouldn't email your employees with action items from the crapper unless you really want them to know exactly what you're doing at all times.

Do the emails say "Sent from my iToilet" at the bottom? I'm shukied.

 

[Hawks64]

So had a nice almost day drunk going, came inside my house to start making dinner. Next thing I know I can barely move, completely ####ed my back up. Can't hardly move, can't even walk straight right now. Not a clue wtf I did.....man this is not going to be a good night or weekend. Was planning on smoking a brisket and ribs tomorrow and have people coming over. Tomorrow will be brutal. FML.

I'm pretty sure that my admin who sits right outside my office knows whether I'm in there or not if I'm sending her an email.

Sup gang. I'm lit.

Big day tomorrow. FF draft at my house, Righetti and the fellas coming over for a round of golf, some beer, some steaks, some stogies, some magic football. Should be a good day.

Hope all my iFriends in here are well. Just passing through.

For serious. I was worried about stumbling out of the door and into the pool (white peoples' problems). Actually, my plan before I got there was to sleep upstairs, but a broken-down body killed that.
