Re: The cranky thread

 

Friday was going great! Then I got an email from my boss:

 

Subject: We need to talk

Re:: repeated complaints about the attiude of {your staff} (customers and salesreps). We need to have a come to jesus. Monday a.m.

 

I immediately raced over to his office to find out what was the matter. But I'd missed him; he'd gone out drinking with the sales guys. The good news is he'll be in a much better mood on monday. The bad news is now I get to stew about it all weekend.

Free pizza for lunch! And it's friday, for what it's worth.

Note to self: henceforth, when paying the bills, make sure you are using the checkbook corresponding to the account that actually has money in it.

 

Moron.

Resist the temptation! It's always better to aim for center mass, unless you know the target is armored.

Re: The cranky thread

 

Uh oh, the project is on a clear downward trajectory that will almost certainly terminate in a smoking crater. You can tell because the people involved are ejecting. Just hope I'm not caught in the blast radius--but cleanup will almost certainly be at least partly my responsibility. Fortunately, I'm much too tired to be angry today!

Oh, look, Bazza is incapacited from food poisoning, and contains both Death Tribble's quickening and his own. (ignites saber) Now I too will have Flaming Eye Power!

Re: Musings on Random Musings

 

As are the Raiders, believe it or not.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

 

One thing that I notice is that Automatic cars are now getting better gas mileage. Haven't looked into the reason behind that. Either they have gotten better, or the measurement is done differently.

 

IIRC computerization and improvements in torque converter hydrodynamics are causing this. But I still greatly prefer a manual, even over the good tiptronics I've driven. About the only time I'd really prefer an automatic is when I need my non-wheel hand to shoot back.

Re: The cranky thread

 

This impromptu con call has now lasted 90 minutes. I have said nothing so far, since I am mostly irrelevant to it, yet I must stay here to make sure nobody on my end promises something stupid. But oh, gods, what a stupid, stupid customer.

Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread

 

Pepperoni pizza.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings

 

I waste so much time with people calling me for surveys or wanting to sell me something or wanting me to sell things for them. Or more accurately, it's not the time wasted so much as the unnecessary interruptions.

Re: The cranky thread

 

Fire me boy!

Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread

 

Finally, instead of watching people talk about football, I can watch people, like, play football.

Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread

 

Fresh blacktop. No traffic. Metallica on the stereo as you fling through the turns.

Re: The cranky thread

 

Sick again. Fifth time this year. Kid is sick too, hoping for no barf tonight, fingers crossed.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

 

You mean that when it's not in the sink, your kitten speaks to you?

 

BTW those were designators for Shadowfist, above, as if anyone cared.

Oh yeah, why is that?
