What's scorching your groove today? - Page 59

jimhelm · 06-01-2012, 11:43 AM

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?

@glatt - snort.

infinite monkey · 06-01-2012, 11:46 AM

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.

classicman · 06-01-2012, 12:00 PM

I wish I had some of your problems.

jimhelm · 06-01-2012, 12:18 PM

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

infinite monkey · 06-01-2012, 12:28 PM

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.

Cars? He works in the finance department. You'll have to launder money, monkey.

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.

Rusted out Subframe

hope it's part of the recall.........

:::news in while typing, need to transfer it to Ford, should be covered.....:::

::Fingers crossed:: (that the engine doesn't fall out while I transfer it......)

monster · 06-04-2012, 09:44 AM

ugh, Ford can't look at it until tomorrow......

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

BigV · 06-11-2012, 08:25 PM

Sorry man. At the risk of being callous, remember ABC in that moment Airway, Breathing, Circulation. They're important in that order. Pertinent info and impertinent to say at this time.

Jim, my heart goes out to you man. You did great, you won't regret it. So sorry.

glatt · 06-11-2012, 08:29 PM

I was going to say that I'm glad you got so see him, but holy crap. Not like that. You did good though. It was very good you were there. I'm sorry he's gone.

monster · 06-11-2012, 08:41 PM

:no idea what to say:

so sorry.
