[Officer Pete Malloy]

I should get on this linkedin thingy.

 

[El Floppo]

I have a number of business ideas I would love to fund if I could find the right people to operate them: Drug/alcohol rehab, mushroom farming, distillery, etc. What I would like to do is find talented qualified people to bring in as minority partners to run the operation I design and bankroll. How would I go about finding such people? Even if it was to just hire them as employees, I cannot seem to find a way to locate who I'm looking for. You'd think with the internet and everything it would be easier.

Honestly, LinkedIn is where 90% of recruiting happens these days.

Are you serious? I didn't think anyone really used LinkedIn. In any event, I'm headed there now!

Completely serious. Haven't seen a posted job anywhere that was not also on LinkedIn and it is every recruiter's first stop for filling their pipelines.

linkedin, like many other job-listings, doesn't understand the difference between an "architect" and a "systems' architect".

Best thing you can do is find one posting that matches what you do and then use their "people who applied for this also applied for this" recommendations.

I'm old and tired.

I had blood work done Saturday. Good news is that my cholesterol is almost normal. Other good news is my AST was normal. Bad news is my ALT at 73 was not. I might be done drinking altogether.

What is ALT? Sorry, dude.

Liver enzyme. This is a moderate elevation, considering the high end of the range is in the 50s. It can get over 1000, but those people are in serious trouble. At any rate, Zooks shouldn't book a flight just yet.

I should take more than just February off probably. :(

I stopped last June for that and other reasons. I was pretty bad off, though, like waking up in the middle of the night to drink so I could sleep again kind of bad. I'm going on 8 months now. Lost 30 pounds. Working out. All that crap. I also want to eat ice cream constantly and I can prove my girlfriend wrong all the time since I remember things now.

In 1993, I was heavily into hard drugs, loose women, brown booze and heavy heavy metal. This wouldn't have crossed my brain wires on any level.

I don't think I knew that stuff. I just recognized the abbreviation.

we should all know a little bit about things we hate. and I definitely hated those guys.

Flight booked for DerbyHole.

Would have loved to make VegasHole too, but Vegas can be a dark place for me. A lot easier to manage that type of stuff with horses compared to 24 hour blackjack and craps tables.

IB, add kidnapping Uni to the Vegas agenda.

Had to buy the wife NKOTB tickets last night

You gonna unravle the mystery here or do we have to guess?

What's the mystery? That NKOTB stands for New Kids on the Block or why he had to buy tickets to such an event?

I didn't know what the abbreviation was for. Is it 1988 all over again? Why not type that out...I would have never guessed that, though I'm sure I could have copy/pasted into teh googles.

The USSR hasn't been around for a while but I still recognize the abbreviation.

Yup, USSR and NKOTB are precisely the same thing.

rocky IV would have made a lot more money beating the #### out of nkotb

I'm a little impressed these guys are able to still dress in tight clothes and dance like the Laker Girls at 40+. I get winded wiping my butt, so the fact they can still twirl around and sing without panting is hugely impressive. Remember when Axl Rose tried to sing live recently? Sounded like Pheidippides racing back to 26 miles to deliever a message.

Course these guys could be lip synching for all I know.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Bart Simpson: Who are those guys?

Homer Simpson: That's BTO. They were Canada's answer to ELP. Their biggest hit was TCB. That was how we talked in the seventies. We didn't have a moment to spare.

I saw him 5 (maybe 10) years ago and it sounded like Louis Armstrong singing GNR

No, I think one was a country.

I didn't know what NKOTB was either. I think maybe they came along a little later than my formative musical years.

In other news, I went to the doctor yesterday and they took my height. My entire adult life I've thought I was 5'6", but they said I was 5'5". I've either always been shorter, or I've begun to shrink.

Survived my meeting unscathed. Went 100x better than what I expected. 2 punches for sure, Tanner. WTH is up with NKOTB? Aren't they collecting social security yet?

I really hope "going better than expected" involved standing on top of a desk stripping down to your skivview while kicking computers, paper, pictures into a giant tornado of revenge-filled hate.

Well, depending on how much sleeping you normally get and when you get measurd in the day, your height can definitely vary day to day and from mor ing to evening,

The human head is so heavy that it compresses the spine throughout the day and makes you shrink. And if you have been getting less sleep, then you are spending more time each day with your head compressing your spine and you'll be shorter than times where you'd getting more sleep.
