I Called In Sick Today

[The Ocho 972]

I agree those personality tests are a bunch of malarkey!

[Napa Lite 3,281]

I could have told you everything that the test said without wasting my time doing it or the company's money paying for it.

hurt words hurt jubi

 

 

and napa, you are right to be angry about the trash can incident. it's like the person did extra work to be more lazy, and inconvenience you at the same time. similarly I was also pissed off on the way home from work this afternoon. some asian retard was driving in the left lane, and of course he would go from 50 to 70 every 10 seconds or so. he did that for maybe 6 miles or so before I could/would get over in the right lane to pass him. when I passed him, I stared him down the whole way (bitch was scared you know this) and of course as soon as I got in front of him he got over into the right lane. god damn fucking faggot.

 

oh and I should mention that he turned out not to be asian. he had some asian sounding shit on his license plate and some I heart japan or some shit kind of sticker on his car, but when I passed him, normal white dude. guess he was playing the part.

So me and the non-owner roommate rotate months of garage space and whoever has the garage has to take out the trash for that month. This is my month and today was recycling day on top of regular trash, so I put out both before leaving for work.

 

I get home and as I'm driving up I see only the blue recycle can on the curb still and assume one of my roommates decided to be half lazy and put only the trash can in the garage for whatever stupid f'n reason and so I'm getting a little pissed as I've complained about them doing that before. Either do them both or none. Wtf's wrong with you.

Well, I get up to the driveway and see its even worse. One of them moved the trash can and just left it right in from of the door blocking my space. So I had to get out, move the ****ing trash can, go to the curb and get the recycle can, put it in the garage get back in my car and then park it and then go back to the curb to get the mail.

 

I am so GD pissed right now I'm almost shaking.

 

That's what you get for doing your part. I hope you learned your lesson.

[Ron_Mexico 4,238]

First, I was mostly just pushing your buttons. Second, my comment was directed more so at your statement about the cost of everything going up while paychecks do not. Which has gotten worse since Jan 09.

 

Totally agree on the rest though.

 

Oh, I isn't think you were too serious. But I took exception to your starting point of the fall as Jan 09. That's just silly. The Dow was a shit storm in 08 as we're plummeting property values. Bush was bad, Obama hasn't fulfilled promises to fix it.

 

Daily show is a must watch if you ask me, which you didn't. I absolutely love the way he uses the politicians own words and clips to refute what they are currently saying by simply showing what they have said. He abused Mitt on how he will do all of these things and has yet to say how he'll pay for it. If that guy gets elected, he'll be another Bush. Spend spend. Possible more than Obama. We shall see.

 

But yes, I knew you were poking me, I can appreciate it. I won't call you mean and get butt hurt like SOME PEOPLE around here.

 

That high, huh? Even without having any experience?

 

This is how selfish I am. My bro from works wife had their kid today and he's got his calender set that he'll out of the office until next Tuesday which means he won't be around to sign my birthday card when it goes around and since he'll be having to get home to the kid he won't bring up going out for drinks to celebrate either and I'm certainly going to do that. And not that I want to celebrate my birthday because I think it's mostly bs but I wouldn't mind going out for drinks, but again, I'm not going to do that. This baby is really cramping my style.

 

Use your bday as an excuse to get girls to come out to the bar. "Hey, getting a few drinks for my bday, you should come." Women are so narcissistic about their own bday a that they'll love to come out for yours. Booze em up, set em down.

Maybe the garbage guy came before the recycle guy. So when he got home, the recycle bin was still full yet the garbage can was empty. It's two trucks down here. Not excusing the poor job of putting it away, but just trying to add some context.

 

 

 

Got back last night. Food and wine was okay, very expensive though, and I don't care for most European beers. Ate at Le Cellier, which was fantastic. Rest of the trip was fine, but Disney certainly isn't my thing. Glad my parents footed just about everything, because it's a god damn waste of money. Good time with the family and nieces. Guess we'll have to get together the next time I go down!

 

Dude, that is your future. Kids effing love that place. And what's worse, from what I hear, watching them absolutely light up when they see Mickey is what makes you come back and piss away tons of money on that place. That's what my buddy tells me. Although, he lives in FL and gets the annual pass, making it a little more cheap.

 

Loser update: I had a half day cuz I'm working Saturday. Got home at 1pm, had lunch, watched a show or two, took a nap at 3pm, and friggin slept till almost 7pm. What the hell? How does that happen? I guess 5 hours the night before didnt help. But now I'll only get 5hrs again due to long nap. Ugly cycle

most people would say the financial crisis started with the awful Sunday night/Monday morning when Lehman was confirmed dead. sept 18 2008, thereabouts?

 

15th, looked it up. I remember it pretty clearly because I was IMing mike as he was at his desk just watching shit go nuts.

 

anyway, the start date can be no later than that, but some people would say bear stearns (may) or even into late 2007.

[Ron_Mexico 4,238]

Where is that guy? Married yet? I miss him, miss his smell. Miss him snarkily dismissing conservatives with facts and...well, awesome sarcasm. He gave me boners.

[Ron_Mexico 4,238]

I have a cruise in late January. 10 days. I need to get ripped. Or at least be less fat, but we'll call it ripped. 100+ days away. Maybe I'll work out tomorrow.

I referring to your comment about cost of living rising while pay has not. And I used Jan. 09 because that's when Obama took office. Which is only fair when discussing what impact he's had since being in office rather than getting into what he inherited. There's an interesting link here that shows many financial numbers and the impact under Obama, if you care to look. http://factcheck.org...obamas-numbers/

****ing Raul

[Ron_Mexico 4,238]

[Ron_Mexico 4,238]

Wow. Double love.

 

I'm eating Raul.

I should bump VB's driving thread, but I am too lazy.

 

I was driving down a road today that is like a main road in between a bunch of neighborhoods. A 35mph road that a bunch of residential 25mph streets come off. So a somewhat busy road. I come to a stop sign and there is an SUV stopped about a car length from the line. The car in front had gone, but they hadn't left yet. I wait 10 seconds or so, while waiting 4 or 5 cars came up behind me. I honk. Nothing. I honk more, nothing. So I drive around the person and look in her passenger window. She is texting, parked at a stop sign. I look behind and even more people are having to drive around her.

 

I would hope that what she was texting about was really important, but its a text. She could have pulled to the side in 5 seconds and gone back to her text. And if it was really that important, she could have actually, you know, used the phone as a phone.

[Ron_Mexico 4,238]

I loathe people that are self involved, oblivious to the world and others feelings that have no courtesy. People that litter, people that speed up in merge lanes and create bottle necks, etc. I just want to tell them that they're awful.

[JubilantLankyLad 1,960]

I just want to tell them that they're awful.

 

That's what this thread is for!

 

Or rather, that's what this thread has become! I remember back when in the day, sickies made separate threads to complain about black people sucking up all the oxygen at the poker table and bad drivers and such.

[Ron_Mexico 4,238]

Yes, I'm still up dammit. I have to wake up at 6:30am. Argon

 

 

And Jubi, can this place sustain any new threads? I think not

[InternetExplorer 2,620]

mike is not liking his new job as much as he thought he would. I got very little in the way of details out of him. that's pretty much all I know since the last update. it's a crying shame that he's such a flake, but people change etc.

[InternetExplorer 2,620]

just stubbed my toe. Oxygen!

I feel like we've heard this before.

 

 

whoa TOO MEAN. but really, if there's any advice I can give at this point from everything I've done over the past 2 years or so, it's that it's all about diet. like 90%. you can run 10 miles a day but if you're eating 3k calories it doesn't do anything. during this last little stint of running I did, where I ran 6 miles at least 3 days a week and at least 3 the other 2? gained 10 pounds.

 

plus the more you exercise, the more you're inclined to eat (though every "study" I've read says this isn't true, I know damn good and well in my personal experience it is). so best advice? drop to 1,500 a day, all healthy whole foods (i.e. no bars, shakes, shit like that. good for packing on muscle but this is not your goal), no alcohol, no cheat days, and stick the fuck to it. last part is the hardest. this latest round I made it one full day. fuck not eating.

 

 

going out to have drinks with coworkers after work this evening. should be helium!

[Ron_Mexico 4,238]

Drinks!!!

 

 

I never slept more than 30 minutes in a row or 2 hours total. This should make today fun

[iZuma 766]

ron you should sleep more than that

[Napa Lite 3,281]

"Oh hey guys I have friends and stuff at work that will drink near me and stuff after work unlike you stupid loser idiots"

 

That's what you sound like Shake.

[iZuma 766]

oh, well, uh, yeah, you can come by too if you'd like. I mean if you want to. we're not really going to be doing much. probably gonna leave pretty early. but yeah, uh, you should stop by.
