GM's thread about nothing (56 Viewers)

Big controversy at a certain middle school in a certain Central California city.

At the 1:35 and 1:52 marks you can see the outside of a certain teacher's classroom.
What, you couldn't find a 4th nerd in all of Bako to help get them to Wally World?
I was not involved. And we actually sent 3 teams to the regional thing. We took 1st, 2nd, and 6th.
Way to make Coalinga, Caliente and Buttondale your #####es!

"Regional" was incorrect. It was the entire state. Thanks anyway, Moriono Vallejo.

 
My business that is surviving by the thinnest of hairs is getting a reorder of the low six figure job we are finishing up now. Strangely, we will probably gross 3x this year as last even though our full time staff has gone from 5 to 0. Anyway. So :banned:

 
This is a misconception. A woman who drinks white zin has ####ty tastebuds, which means she'll probably put just about anything in her mouth. That doesn't make her a slut. It just means she's more likely to do really naughty and potentially disgusting things, though they may all be with the same man. I'm sure if you present this newfound information to your cousin's wife, she'll appreciate the clarification.
:lmao: :lmao:

In a similar situation.. I drive a 2005 small single cab pickup. Lately been feeling the transmission acting up so I changed out the filter and fluid. That only cost about 100 bucks, but if other things start breaking down or the transmission goes out completely I'll just have to get a new car. Really hate car payments though..

12k for trade in on a vehicle with nearly 100k miles seems crazy. If you can really get 12k for it I definitely think that's the best way to go. That sounds unrealistically high though.
Shark move is to put 15k more miles on it then wedge it under a school bus.
:lmao:

Could you imagine if I really had nips like these? I like to think I'd find love.
:goodposting: 'S :lmao:

 
Pardon me for being Midwestern, but why in the name of #### would the washer/dryer go on the third floor?

I seriously can't even figure out how and/or why that happens.

Ideal = First floor

Acceptable = Basement

Barely Acceptable = Second floor

I was going to mock thr 3rd floor laundry, but for fu#k's sake that shouldn't even be an option. I'm actually angry about this, and I'm not even being conscripted for the heavy labor.
They must have a fat maid.

Did they make a volcano or a scale model of our solar system?

 
Just found out this morning that a friend's 14-year-old son was murdered. Not a close friend (otherwise I would have known when it happened three weeks ago), so no TPW needed for me, but it's truly awful. They are having the funeral Monday because apparently both the prosecution and defense had to be allowed access first to do an autopsy, so they only just now released his body to the family.

So ####### horrible.
So ####### awful. So sorry GB. :(

Yeah, this. Sorry. :(

 
Story on the murder

It's the Daily Mail so sensationalized, but my understanding is it's about right as to the murder, though wrong in some details regarding the family (they have been divorced for years and dad has been out of a job, for instance).

 
I just had a scam call my on my cell phone about a "free $9,0000.00 government grant" he'd like to have transferred into my bank account.

Does anyone know who I'm supposed to report these people to?
I've gotten a call on my landline 3 times that comes up on the caller id as "illegal scam"
If I had to guess which person here had a landline, you would not have been the name that first came to mind. Hey tanner !
First time in 10 years I've had one. The wife wanted it at the new place. My brain cancer is probably irreversible already though.

 
JFC :cry:

If you saw my FB post this morning, that happened about 3 miles from my house. Having kids can be so ####### scary sometimes. :(
Saw that this morning and got a letter from our principal as well. Had another talk with the boys when they got home from school this afternoon about this stuff. Sounds like there was also a sperarate attempt the night before at a neighborhood close to us as well. Sounded like the same scumbags.

JFC -- the world can be scary.

 
Okay, so I will try to make this very weird story brief, but asking me to do that is like asking me to be tan. I shall try.

Yesterday at work, a heavy set, older man with a jean jacket, large turquoise bracelets, giant white-man fro that would make Kev envious and glasses with tinted lenses that change with the lighting waddled into our office and asked to speak to the boss, absent nary a hint of pleasant nature.

The first person he encountered was my boss, who was walking out as he walked in, and thinking this portly troll with gaudy dress was here to solicit us, pointed right towards me and said "There's the boss right there!", a fun game we like to play upon any solicitor who walks into the office, whereupon the first person here who encounters him or her will point to the nearest person and say "THERE'S YOUR GUY". We are an office full of children.

So the goblin stands over my desk and asks in a stern voice, "Are you the boss"? Thinking he's still here to sell something, I say "Depends, what do you need". He peers through his glasses at me, I can make out a mole on his forehead that could double as a space station or moon and asks in a deeper, more serious voice, "Are you the boss?" Getting a bit annoyed at this point, I say "Sure, I'm the boss. What can I help you with?". He informs me he is an officer with the IRS and is here about a missing tax file for our business. At that point, he realizes he's made an impression and asks me again, "So....are you the boss?" I quickly pointed to my CFO and told the IRS officer that he should talk to him and so he walked over there, opened up his brief case and produced a badge that identified him as an IRS officer.

Once we established who this intruder was, we listened to him as he told us that we failed to file a Form 1042 with the IRS for one of our hedge funds for the year 2011 and if we didn't produce this, he would have to write us up and conduct an investigation. My CFO gave him the number to our accountant and said he could take it up with him, but the IRS man said in his most dickish tone, "No no....I don't make calls. You make calls". So my CFO called our accountant and got voice-mail. When he hung up, he said he'd try to find the missing file but it could take a while. "No problem" said the agent, "I can wait". We pointed him to the conference room and he sat down. He absolutely REEKED of baby powder, leaving an odor trail that would entice Homer from several miles away.

I could tell instantly that my CFO was not going to track this document down quickly and having been a part of the 2011 audit and knowing what a Form 1042 is for, my mind started spinning. I raced over to my CFO's computer, did a search through his emails (which he archives) and found an email from our tax accountant clearly stating that the fund in question didn't have any dividend holdings or interest for foreign partners in 2011 and thus, no Form 1042 was filed. We printed this email up, showed it do the agent and suddenly, Mr. Gruff was Mr. Nice, said "That'll do! Thank you very much" and he left.

Nobody really said much of anything, but we were all a little puzzled. Why didn't the IRS send a letter or call us first? Sure seemed like such a small matter to begin with, why send an IRS officer out to our little office for this? Well, our accountant called back and said to us "That is very awkward, let me call the IRS". My boss told his wife about it, and she said "That is VERY peculiar, you need to contact the police!" (she's a bit paranoid).

Today, we took the business card he left behind and did a little Googling. Here is his linkedin page, where he states he is RETIRED. That's odd....why would a retired IRS officer come to our office. So we did some more Googling....HOLY CRAP!

There are dozens of Youtube videos of this nutjob. Guy must have been off his meds or something. We've called the police, the local IRS and the Treasury department to report this, though all attempts to file a report have gone to voice mail. The police were no help. Hopefully, we can follow up on this and get this guy to stop. What a whack job.

You want his number?

 
Is this the guy GM?

That is freaking weird. No way I give him anything though without verification from someplace. I was walking out of our office last week when some geeky looking younger fella' walks in at the same time. We rarely get visitors, only deliveries. He says to me "Hi Paul said I could come by and take some pictures. Is that alright?". I just ask Paul who and he says "Paul with the property owner". I say sure then call my Dad. He isn't aware of anybody supposed to come by. So we call the property owner and the guy was legit. We don't even have anything interesting to capture in photos. I just have a natural distrust of people. Kind of a running theme huh. :mellow:

"But what turned out to be a happy moment, ended up being a nightmare" :lmao:
Yeah.

Indian (dots, not feathers) parents can be a little high-strung when it comes to their kids and education. I'll tell you though...if every one of my students was Indian my job would be a cakewalk.
My wife is a violin/viola/cello teacher. About 85% of her students are dot Indians, about 10% east Asian, and there's just a few random white kids. Most of which don't last very long.

Speaking of science, there is some science exhibition up at the boy's school tonight. Just about to leave and both of them are covered head to toe in mud. FML :wall:

Oh and Mrs. SLB is up there working the thing so she isn't even here to help. :wall:

Gotta go :bye:

 
Free advice: when someone comes by looking for financial documents for your business and says he's from the IRS, it's usually a good idea to check on that before giving any info.
