heh.

I felt bad because I had no 3 ipads until I met a man who only had 1.

Jim. You think you should have 2, for your convenience, and dude shouldn't have 3, for his convenience? So you can keep one at your girlfriend's house so you don't have to lug the monstrosity back and forth? And your cohort is greedy?

Um, tell you what, let me help you out. Send it to me. I'd love one, but couldn't afford such a luxury. Or maybe give it to some lowly cleaning person in your office who doesn't even have a Sony Walkman? Hmmmmm?

I love you man, but really. Wasn't it you who called something "white people problems?"

yeah... i know... it's totally white people problems.

Am I greedy to accept a prize? this is a contest for the finance guys. there are 2 of us. he's got 2, i've got one.... As I said, I don't need it. but I'd take it. wouldn't you?

I mean, if you won free lunch today, would you refuse it because there are kids starving in the city?

No, but if my lunch were already paid for I'd pass the ticket to a coworker. I'm not taking it to the 'starving kids' level; your point is rather irrelevant. I'm not even sure on what level that was supposed to BE a point. It was like a classic point.

At this point, you're just collecting luxury items. Like if I kept winning hair dryers...why would I want 5 or 6 hair dryers? I'd give them to friends.

And by friends I mean someone at the Cellar named infinite monkey.

'Cause, I'd do just about anything for an ipad, even beg. :sadbeggingdogsmilie:



You know I'm yanking your chain a bit right? I don't really think there's anything wrong with your groove being scorched in the matter...it just tickles me funny bone a bit.

we probably won't win... too much bad mojo going on... but if we do... I want the boss to take it. If I wind up with it... THEN we'll talk about what you're willing to do to get one

I'll come work for you, I'm 2 seconds from walking out of this mess. I've never seen a more clueless set of people in charge.

I give us a couple more months before heads start rolling. My head isn't going to roll because I have documented EVERY single time I've been dismissed, ignored, berated...I get no help when I ask and I am shoved aside when I offer to help.

MY BP is through the roof and I feel I'm headed for a heart attack.

The newest bitch is making her people read literature on how to be a better follower. What? Servant Leadership anyone?

I can wash cars, really well.

I'd put you in the service department. You would be awesome at commiserating with people's problems when they come in with issues. You'd have them laughing about it, and they wouldn't even notice that we charge them $115/hr labor. You might even win your OWN iPad.

Being quite adept at talking students off the ledge (and often have them laughing) I think I would do very well in such a capacity.

I bet they say they can't fix it and offer us a paltry settlement
