GM's thread about nothing (87 Viewers)

[St. Louis Bob]

In about 6 hours we announce to our employees that we sold the company. Sorry if I've been even more neurotic, depressed and checked out the last 4-5 months than normal.

I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight. The HJ a couple of hours ago did nothing. Ambien was taken an hour ago. Nothing.

wtf you sold your company?

Yeah, I know right?

 

[St. Louis Bob]

Good news is everyone will keep their jobs six months minimum at their current pay. It's still going to be difficult to look people in the eye, particularly my relatives. It needed to be done though.

 

[cosjobs]

Okay... I just tried to walk and drugs have kicked in. Still not tired though.

You need a road trip. Meet me in hot springs this weekend and let's play the ponies.

I'm already considering taking my first day off since it will be the day after SB. We'll see how that goes over.

Believe me, there is nothing more I would like to do. I'm in for another year minimum though.

Kind of came out nowhere huh. Going through a whole range of emotions from horny to lust.

Oh yeah. It's sb weekend and you have eternal family commitments.

Oh well. The next weekend I'm going to Houston for rfw's opening. Next weekend dallas for sp's book of Mormon. How about this Saturday at Oaklawn. You can be back Sunday for all your fancy superbowl parties.

Cheer up, moneybags.

I only own 8% of the company but will be getting a nice payday. It's unbelievable to think this company we worked so hard to build over the last 13.7 years, is going away. It's going to crush my boys too.

Whole lot of dream-killing going on lately. Sorry stlb and cos.

Thanks GB

[Frostillicus]

You did the right thing.

 

[Osaurus]

We are among the *confirmed* Vegasholers, but our original 7:10 a.m. flight was canceled, and we were put on the 10:50 a.m. flight instead. Then today we got a notice that the 10:50 was moved to 10:10 a.m. So by April, god knows what time we'll actually be arriving.

Typical airlines.

Colombia = drug cartels, hot women

In my defense, this is the first I've heard of this.

Colombo = capital of Sri Lanka and also formerly a frozen yogurt brand

(just to close the loop)

 

[El Floppo]

Bob had a company?

No idea what went into it, but considering the mental anguish I go through over deciding between two good jobs, making that decision to close up shop would've Damn near killed me.

The hard part sounds done- Gl and congrats Bob!

Any idea what's next?

Bell Transportation. Look for the "VIP Airport Shuttle". Internet only.

Our local high school had some sort of lab accident this morning. Evacuated the school, few dozen kids sent to a local hospital to be checked out, Philly news there, fire trucks, hazmat, the whole thing. Good times.

With fuel prices where they are at currently, this seems feasible.

Easy Tiger, a 6th st. bar is offering 32 flights of pappy 12, 15 and 20 year old for $50 each this tuesday. Tickets go on sale at 5pm tomorrow. Seems like a lot of trouble and a lot of money.

Yes, but that price includes the soda of your choice. Right?

I'm at a Mexican joint for breakfast. They are having a 2 for 1 special. I tried to order two breakfasts to participate, but was told that there had to be two people at the table. I think maybe my civil rights are being violated here. If only there were some attorneys around here.

Again, there is only one sofa worthy of diluting any bourbon: Mexican coke.

This thread is in serious trouble if I'm going to carry it this morning.

Sorry, fellow Lion.

ATTN Tanner: My brother is a middle school teacher (black sheep of the family) and had his classroom evacuated for a fire set by a kid who was trying to charge his e-cigarette through this computer, which set his computer on fire, which set his desk on fire. Apparently e-cigs are all the rage at this middle school, which is insane.

We only confiscate a couple of e-cigs a month as far as I know.

Did the kid know not to actually try to light the e-cig on fire?

Probably not. It's not an exclusive school like where you are.
