What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[dsheinem]

I added my first foe on the forums today.

who and why?

(and will you even see this?)

[BoneSnapDeez]

It's me and the feeling is mutual. Anyone from New Hampshire is my mortal enemy.

Twist: It was everyone. Now I rule the boards!

I guess I just had to vent things out last week and last night. Way better mood today.

Well that's good. Hopefully you can endure while looking for other things.

Good to hear.

And now I am about to say some stuff that will make you probably think I'm a jerk.

Wining and dining.

A lot of it lately, besides the fact some people don't respect the fact I'm fasting for Lent. But please realize I do understand people being all "wtf" when I tell them I'm not eating. It is a weird thing to do.

New job, although I don't start for about a week from now, has already been schmoozville. Canoodleville. Close to Bullshitville, first stop.

Don' get me wrong...I LOVE GOOD STUFF. But I'm also kinda of a strongly opinionated person who always looks at margins and will think things like "I could make this better, and for a third of the cost". Of course I don't say these things as people try to impress me, but Anthony Keidis said it well when he said "Unimpressed by material excess, love is free love me say hell yes".

(Anthony is delusional, and is obsessed with excess, but that isn't my point)

I've always said "The janitor is as important as the CEO" and I've always meant it. If the CEO is swimming in cash, you get a financial lift, and if the janitor is happy your toilet isn't covered in stains. That's balance.

People taking me out to "dine" when I'm not eating, and they're being gluttons and putting it on their company's expense account pisses me off. Doesn't piss me off to say something yet, but I'm stacking aces in my pocket.

Pretty sure most people can pick up what I'm putting down. Just imagine you find out your employee took out a client, spent nearly $200 on dinner, and the client that was supposed to be impressed didn't digest anything but water, and didn't create a relationship with a potential business.

Yes I'm confident and borderline obnoxiously cocky, but I often wonder why I'm running the divisions of businesses and not running THE business. One reason would probably be that I'd go through CFOs like Kleenex.

Tonight someone did something incredible. To keep it hush, I'll keep the details out of it as I don't want to possibly embarrass him. Or her. It's totally a her. Or is it?

In short, said dude or dudette asked "Is there anything I can do to help you get to an undisclosed location on an undisclosed date with an undisclosed amount of money?"

Heartbroken, I had to say "no" to one of the best guys (or gals) on the planet.

I hope mystery gal (or guy, I'll keep you guessing) knows that his (or her) act of generosity doesn't go unnoticed.

Wish I could be there, and thanks for understanding that sometime it rains $#!T on people. We'll visit asap and make it worth your while (and watch at least one episode of Columbo while hopping up Grandma on Old Style)/

Your post above made me laugh more than anything Luke. Sticking it to the man? Maybe I'm similarly cocky, because there's so many things around my work I know I could fix if I had the power. Total dead end though, and false promises (boss talked about my promotion for... a year? Suddenly nothing).

But phew I could never fast, call me the gluton haha. If I miss breakfast alone it's going to be a horrible day of feeling awful. Maybe if I gave it a day or something, but yeah.

It's kind of ridiculous too lately, but I've been getting in probably like 5 meals worth a day sometimes lately. I'm going to guess it's just with so much stress going on, three classes, work, and I've been on DDPYoga for almost a year now so it's not like that food is sticking anywhere. But yeah my appetite is a little over the top recently. Maybe you guys remember me talking about messing with my diet awhile back trying to figure things out, I'd say it's top notch at this point with no problems, I'm just literally using up the fuel so much and can keep eating forever even if it's good healthy filling foods. lol, who knows. Seems normal, just busy as crap and need the energy.

- Looks like I'll be able to finish chemistry in the summer and have 4 periods senior year.

- From what I've heard it's gonna be 6 weeks in hell.

- The Mail lady didn't take my package from the mailbox so I had to walk to the PO. She's usually chill about taking 1st class packages. Maybe there was another mailman today.

- The mailman showed up to the PO right when I did.
