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.

I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE!!!

Lol, narrowed to about 6 towns anyway. Sounds like a chemistry teacher may have designed a really bad experiment

 

[GroveDiesel]

My wife's school is so unbelievably dumb. Robo-call this morning that they were having an early dismissal due to the storm. So they sent the kids home and I got there 15 minutes later to pick my wife up and head home. Only they then made an announcement that teachers couldn't leave until they made another announcement. No prior notice. No timeframe or reason given at all. So

This would be me just outside the office.

So ... they're talking about 20 inches of snow here, give or take.

Up to a foot or so, it's like "yea I guess I'll have to use the 4WD." Twenty though? Tough for the plows to keep up.

For real. Only 20"? *pffffft*

Take your 4-year-old out for bagels in it. It'll be fine.

Buffalo had 8 feet of snow a couple months ago. 20 inches is like a morning snack.

Bill Cosby was supposed to play here on Feb 12. "It has been postponed".

Full refunds will be given. Glad to know nobody is going to get bent over because of this.

 

[YSR]

at thorn and his fear of 20". Be a man!

 

[St. Louis Bob]

You did the right thing.

Thanks GB. This means more to me than you know.

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?

Who knows? Beekeeping? Boxing? Bocce ball?

The company we merged with really just bought the account list and employees. None of the assets or receivables were included. So I'll be working for them and I won't have to worry about anybody else but myself. I can't tell you what a relied that will be eventually after all of this sinks in. I've been supporting so many people for so many years. It's stressful to say the least. Plus it really is a good company with highly qualified specialists in areas like MPS (managed print solutions) that I can't currently offer. Plus a really nice furniture showroom, designers on staff and more. It will be good.

GL Bob. You need to blow off a little steam. Say, the first weekend in April?

I really miss Vegas but I'm not exactly making any long term plans right now.

 

[Thorn]

IT'S NOT FEAR YOU JERKS I'M JUST SAYING IT'S KIND OF A BIG DEAL. THEY'RE CLOSING LL BEAN FOR CHRIST'S SAKE

 

[St. Louis Bob]

The boys just got home from school so I told them about our place. Dylan really didn't care, Cal cried his eyes out. :(

ETA

After I finally got Cal calmed down he says "what am I going to do now? I wanted to work with you and PaPa."

Then "so you're going to be fired now right?!" I tell him no, I'm not going to be fired. He replies "yes you will! That's what big companies do! They buy little companies then fire everybody!!"

I don't know where he got that last one from even though in general, he's pretty spot on.

We haven't gotten any snow this year. Be safe GB Thorn.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

it really is a good company

Does it rhyme with Smoffice Fax or Doffice Mepot?

 

[St. Louis Bob]

Also, VERY SPECIAL THANKS to GBThorn for sending the NDA over to the acquiring company. He's the one that really got the ball rolling. Thanks my brother.

 

[shuke]

Quit being so afraid, dude. You'll be fine.

No, they are locally owned. I would never work for one of those big guys again. We'll be in the top 10 of largest privately owned office supply/furniture companies in the U.S. after the deal is completed.

You guys just don't understand. At 22 inches, Thorn will completely disappear

Pretty sure he gets a night with Pepper, right?

BTW They are one company now under OD and some activist investors are trying to get Staples to buy them. Lots of M & A activity in the office supply space these days.

sounds like a great deal for you... but must've been a bear to get to that decision. not having to worry about staff is golden though- nice.

Not sure who you're talking about. I love Mexican food, Italian food, Chinese food, African-American food (BBQ)...
