GM's thread about nothing (4 Viewers)

I officially feel old. I have been out of my blood pressure medicine for about 5 days. I let it lapse all the time so now the wife stays on me about keeping it filled. I hadn't gotten it refilled because the doc wanted to see me first to make sure the dosage is still right. Fine. Appointment is set for Friday.

I went out of town last week and ran out on Wednesday morning. Monday I woke up with a splitting headache. Last night I went to bed with a headache and my eyes were hurting. I thought it was because I was exhausted and had been using a smaller computer screen than normal. Checked my BP this morning and it was "how are you not dead yet?" level. Called the doc and got the refill in advance of the appointment so that I don't die before the Vols play again. Oof.

 
Upgraded my team in my 12-team PPR $ league with a few trades this morning. Nice to be able to solidify my playoff run.
Better go take a nap after all that work.
Schtick aside, setting waivers is an absolute pain in the ###...especially when the league is only a $20 entry fee. Here's what I had to do this morning:

Conditionally drop Giants D/ST, NYG D/ST to WaiversConditionally add Panthers D/ST, Car D/ST from Waivers to Bench

Move will process on the morning of Nov 21 (ET).

I just stopped there, b/c if I was being thorough, I'd set up all sorts of other scenarios in case I didn't get these guys :shrug:
Maybe stop playing in 6 player leagues?

Considering taking Thorn and Guster to a place with a das boot like that guy has in the background. Need to check them for lip herpes first. Actually, better just do a full cavity search.
Das boot evokes a Rain-Man-like "HOT WATER BURN BABY" reaction from me. :hangover:

I once burped and accidentally threw up about half a boot in a toilet there once. Surprised the hell out of me.

I was playing anchorman or flip cup or some such team thing where the losers had to finish a boot after a loss. oof

 
Sweatier Vests had better watch out for the power back combo of Marcus Thigpen and Kendall Hunter. Add in no starting TE and they should be ####ting in their boots.
You can start your whining to us about lineup troubles when one of your players ends up on IR. Besides, Manning and Romo should be good for eleventy billion points again.
:shrug: Kyle Rudolf, Leonard Hankerson are on IR now I think. And I am pretty sure Montario Hardesty was on IR when Homer drafted him. You have 4 guys on IR, and I think Marc Mariani was injured when you drafted him.

I apologize for all of my contributions in drafting our team.
Yeah, good thing we went with Fitz over Demaryius Thomas. :P I am pretty sure going with Daryl Richardson as our #2rb was my fault though, so that evens us out I think.

Just don't allow the conditional part. Pick a player to try and get and a player to give up. If you don't get him, try again tomorrow for another player. Instead of inputting 15 waiver requests to try and get your bye week TE fill in.
You can do this on ESPN? If you, you may have just blown my mind

 
Went to the visitation tonight for my buddy's daughter. What a horrible, surreal scene. The mother sat next the casket the entire time, stroking the girls head, and was (understandably) a complete mess. My buddy seemed very touched that 6 of us made the drive, although it's only a couple hours. They were divorced and the daughter was living with him and he has no idea what prompted this. The hardest part for me was that all around the funeral home were hundreds and hundreds of pictures of her smiling and looking very happy.

No thoprawishes need for me, thanks, but if you are the praying type please keep the family in your thoughts as they have three other kids they need to be strong for.
####. So awful. Will do.
 
My co facilitator and I got spoken to today because our boss thinks we've been letting the team drink too much during the session. 10 people are averaging 2 bottles of wine and 6 beers a day. Apparently they don't want our work to be known as a place for teams to go get drunk and do good :shrug:

 
why do I always seem to get stuck people at Starbucks that seemingly have never been in one or even a coffee shop? today the dude in front me asks the barista, what drink has more caffeine, an iced coffee or a shot of espresso.

 
Well, that was a classic jinx. Got a call from Cal's school a couple of hours ago, he's on ISS tomorrow. Otherwise know as In School Suspension.

Apparently there was an incident where he accidentally dropped some Uno cards and one of them hit some girl in the face. Because of this, a teacher told him he lost recess. He tried to explain his side of the story but didn't get anywhere. This didn't sit well with him so he told the teacher she should just get out of school and his life. Then he runs into some kid that accused him of peeing on the floor of the bathroom out in the hall. They have him on tape pushing the kid up against the wall. Twice. Then the kid walked backwards all the way to the Principal's office, again on tape, because he was so scared of getting his ### kicked. Things escalated further when later he said he just needed a baseball bat to take care of the teacher that too recess away.

No, he didn't learn these things from me. Stupid genes. :kicksrock:

:(

 
So I'm applying for an assistant general counsel position for a tech company who does online ads essentially. I really have no professional qualification as my experience lends itself to real estate, construction, property etc, but this is the kind of thing I am looking for really. Something that interests and challenges me. The application asks for my favorite law school class, whether I'm and apple or google guy, why I want to work for them, how tech affects my day to day life, and to describe myself in 140 characters. They also want my LinkedIn and twitter handles. I'm thinking of semi shticking up these essay questions with video game and movie references. I feel like giving them a look at my actual personality and interests gives me a better chance. Based on how they present themselves and how these questions are worded, I think it may give me my best shot. Thoughts on shtick to serious ratio?
