I'm really not, for anybody just tuning in. That was the airplane I was requesting.

You can always say what that song would have been. No worries about spotlighting. For me it’s probably Puppets or One.

I know my pick and there's definitely a non-zero chance I get sniped, too. 

Are we making mixes, or has that gone by the wayside given the amount of drafters and the removal of bands from the list for scarcity's sake?

JFC, Eephus. Did you load the dice with "let's see who can ruin Uruk's draft" mojo? 

 
So, this is what the forum is like at 11 p.m. ET on a week night. I'm not usually around during these hours.

A coworker of 26 years got fired today. We had our differences over that time, but she & I were the last two executive-types left from our original company (mergers upon buyouts upon more mergers). She's my age (59). She'll be fine financially, as she & her husband are loaded. But I'm a little concerned for her otherwise - for as long as I've known her, all of her self-worth was tied up in being a mom and with her job. Kids are long grown and out of the house. And now, no job. She has plenty of friends and activities outside of work, so I hope she embraces those.

This has basically been a coup by a sister company once the last merger happened. They've systematically weeded out all management folks from the other companies. I've got a big, fat target on my back - they don't like me at all (my increasingly unfiltered big mouth doesn't help), but they are also afraid of me because none of those people think they can do what I do. The only thing keeping me there is health insurance, otherwise I'd be gone. I floated a test balloon last fall when I took a 4 month leave to handle some personal stuff and didn't miss being there at all. But, like I said, at my age having good insurance is a real thing.

So, here I sit doing shots of vodka and wondering why Eephus kept simey in the draft against her wishes.

Music drafts are usually where we go to get emo. I suppose given that everyone on the board is in this one that'll be less so, but your point is noted.

You should see me after ten shots of air to my lungs.

(That's an emo song about a guy who can't even talk to a girl when she walks by.)

You're like ten shots of air to my lungs
The plane crashed one day, and there you were among the wreckage
Blaming me for everything, including all the metal shards in my post-hardcore
I love you and hate you all the same time for just being alive...

(cleverly done hardcore breakdown)

Tell it, Uruk! This is indeed what it's like among the late-night and West Coast miscreants. Hwarf. 

Belonging to both is even lonelier, though you're often posting when I'm going to bed, so there's some company that wraps itself around normally uncommunicative times, even. Isn't that heavy? 

To the substance of your posting, I'm sure she might have thrown herself into work, but I've found among retirees (I know some) that they throw themselves into different things and are just as fulfilled. So there's hope for that. As for your situation, I don't have much to say other than good health insurance is a huge deal. Best of luck with it. You probably think you're unfiltered, but you seem to always have a good grasp of the situation. I hope the target on your back is a small one and not a "Bummer of a birthmark, Hal" variety.

Don't you get up like three hours from now?

Sorry about your colleague.  That whole situation blows.  

And :lmao:  at the bold, which I was wondering, too (but without the vodka).

Just Eephus expressing his thoughts about all things just, I assumed.

Nah, not everyone would get that joke that I’m posting over.  It’s a reference! He’d understand!

I ended up retiring at age 59 after turning down a relo to Northern Virginia. My self-worth was always more aligned with my family than my job but I honestly thought I'd miss working more than I did.  I enjoy walking the dog and listening to music much more than delivering services to a business that didn't know how to use them and thought they cost too much.

There was no ill intent in leaving simey on the draft list. I copied and pasted the list NV compiled a few pages back and she was on it.

:lol:   Normally, yes.

I've already called out for tomorrow, though. #### 'em. I've got $14m in upcoming work in my pocket. Probably half of that will go away to competitors if I do and the other half will be beyond all but maybe one coworker's ability to handle. Not that I'm indispensable - I'm not, and this company will go on long after I leave - but they don't know enough yet about what I do and are making very little effort to learn. Plus, I don't tell them #### and make things seem more mysterious than they really are.

My old boss texted me about the firing and let me know my new boss would be calling me about it. Old boss had to tell new boss he might want to let me know what was going on since the lady that got hacked & I had worked together for so long. It apparently never occurred to new boss on his own (not surprising). I didn't answer the call and he left no message. A bit later, a generic e mail blast came out that she was no longer with the company. 

 
I think this format should work well for themed mixes.  I'm planning to come out of the draft with a playlist that I'll listen to again even if nobody else likes it.

I was just funning you, my friend. Actually, I was funning simey more than you, so she will probably kill me now.

Major  :thumbup: on your first paragraph.
