Sweats

My boss says he's got to go to a "meeting", leaves for 3 hours, comes back to work with a new haircut.

..........so did i

I've got a good feeling that winter soldier is going to eat NE as a snack tomorrow afternoon.........i expect absolute Pat destruction tomorrow and every game henceforth.

...........some of us still haven't

.........for me, it's usually only when Collinsworth is covering a KC game

I went car hunting yesterday (i hate it), but here's the conversation between me and the Toyota sales guy after i test drove a car..... me: alright, i like it, so let's sit down and throw some numbers around.......maybe a little negotiating sales guy: oh, i don't negotiate........the price of the car, is the price of the car. Toyota's basically sell themselves me: okay, whatever, buddy sales guy: okay, so you're going to need this and this and that and some of that and don't forget the sales tax and the tax for this and the tax for that and here's your final number me: yeah, i don't like that......if you can drop that price down a little bit and give me a little something better, then i'll sign the paperwork today sales guy: no me: no?.......just no sales guy: the tires are no good, i'll give you that, so i'm throwing in new tires. me: yeah but, you have to throw in tires anyways cause you need them to pass the safety inspection sales guy: yeah but, i'm giving you good tires and these cost $700 me: $700 per tire? sales guy: $700 for all four.......they are Toyo, top of the line me: i don't want Toyo.......i want Michelin sales guy: oh no, those tires are too good, so you'll get Toyo me: alright, i think we're done here........i'm headed over to Honda sales guy: Honda?.......those guys don't know how to treat their customers me: okay, i'm going to let you in on a little secret here, guy........we both know that the buyer always loses when buying a used car, it's no big secret. The customer just wants to feel that they've won something, we both know they don't, but they just want to walk away feeling like they did and not even willing to negotiate over a few dollars or give the customer at least a little satisfaction that they made a good deal is heinous sales guy: well, maybe we can put you into a car that's a little more in your price bracket me: you don't even know my price bracket sales guy: i'm starting to suspect your price bracket me: i'm starting to suspect that i should have started my day at Honda.........i'm out sales guy: okay, here's the deal of the day......i'll take out the tires and you can save yourself $700 me: but, you still need the tires for the safety inspection which comes out of your pocket, not mine. The cost of the safety certification is yours sales guy: ???????????????? me: ???????????? sales guy: ????????????? me: ........i'm going to Honda

Might be his worst game ever.........he'll be preoccupied thinking about a contract extension to buy Pampers.

I'm 57...... i started when i was 18, so that's about 39 years in this racket. I actually tried to retire when i was 52 but can't get access to my union pension until i'm 60, so i've got another 3 years to go, however, 3 years seems like a long, long time when dealing with idiots at work.

Wait till you get old, my friends........you never know what's going on back there UGH

Die Liga sollte auf jeden Fall in Erwägung ziehen, mehr Spiele in Deutschland auszutragen. Ihr werdet alle diese Freizeitbeschäftigung genießen... Ich befehle es euch!!!

I actually have two bosses, and both are a lot younger than me (which means very little), however, this is their first project, so they have absolutely zero experience and when an experienced guy like me who has been in the industry for almost 40 years tries to give advice, i get poo-pooed and disregarded. You see, these guys have something to prove and are constantly trying to re-invent the wheel and constantly trying to change the system or process. It doesn't work like that........a proven system is a time-tested proven system for a reason. It's all exhausting.

Ah, the dreaded poop on the desk scandal........that was actually about 25 years ago when i was the boss, so maybe my co-workers felt the same way about me then as i do about my boss now. Interesting........interesting indeed.

Simple question........do you like your boss? My boss preaches that we are a family, we are a team, however, he has zero sense of how working as a team even entails........my co-workers are not my family; they aren't even my friends (i have enough family and friends in my life). He's the type of guy who thinks he's the smartest one in the room and the type of guy who expects people to just sit in the corner and shut the hell up, while he's busy being a blowhard and building himself up with all of his self praises.......sort of like the 50's style type dad, where you only speak when you're spoken to and you better tell him what he wants to hear, whether the truth or not. Understaffed and pushing everyone hard, so he can get his bonus............ugh He kind of reminds me of this guy

Could you image the scenario where we "thought" we had a post season spot locked up and then it turns out that we missed the whole shebang altogether? Jesus, you think this place is a divine mess around here when we lose a game, imagine missing out on the playoffs cause other factors played out that no one saw coming. Wow........just wow.

I'm just throwing this out there, but isn't a Hussey a tramp? I know it has nothing to do with nothing, i'm just trying to get to the bottom of this.
