Was that, like, a 2 hour notice?

2 hour decision, 2 weeks notice

orthodoc · 03-28-2013, 08:28 PM

Damn. Sorry, UT. Maybe a solo podcast?

Undertoad · 03-28-2013, 08:32 PM

Well the thing is, a solo podcast is always less compelling; a conversation is just much more interesting for the listener, than one person ranting about stuff.

orthodoc · 03-28-2013, 08:42 PM

Hm. But you write so well, I figured you'd do well with a monologue. Not ranting, more a series of vignettes. The material speaks for itself.

footfootfoot · 03-28-2013, 08:48 PM

Yeah, I agree with Ortho. You could do so much with your voice and your insights. One thing I really like about this thread is how you can go from Retarded or High, to sensitive and compassionate social analysis of your customers followed with a rousing rendition of WHY WE'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU FIVE MORE GODDAMMED DOLLARS FOR YOUR P.O.S. JAWN.

You have an elusive adjective perspective. Not unique.

Ah, shit. Sorry dude.

sexobon · 03-28-2013, 11:17 PM

So, how much did you get for your 2 weeks notice?

Sorry, ^it^ had to be done!

I get the feeling that just as "Alan" feels like he can't say no but wants to find a reason to say no, you've felt like you couldn't quit but found a reason to quit.

I think your instincts have served you well. Good luck UT.

That's a shame, but I admire your commitment to stand for your principles.

Undertoad · 04-01-2013, 09:45 AM

Dude: I got a friend, man, looks just like you, only a little bit heavier.

Me: Really? (pause) Well, tell him he's only the second best-looking guy in the world.

jimhelm · 04-01-2013, 11:41 AM

he's probably thinking of Seth Rogan

Undertoad · 04-01-2013, 01:42 PM

I get Michael Moore when I wear a ball cap.

Richard just called and said he'd be in Friday with a big payment.

Go Richard Go. I am rooting for you man.

It's 10 AM. A gentleman who can't really speak English has found himself in the sex toys section of the store.

Through universal sign language, I have explained what the "whacker" tool is used for, and what the "gun oil" lube is.

I have helped him to realize that the 8" black wang he has decided to buy does not need batteries.

And now, because my co-worker is being dense, I have to either walk to the other side of the store, or yell at him from 15 feet away: "DO WE HAVE ANY OPAQUE BAGS THAT CAN HIDE THIS GUY'S BIG BLACK DILDO?"

I decide to walk over. It's 10 AM. If it was 4 in the afternoon maybe I would shout.

Maybe you have covered this before, but the sex toys are new, right? You don't sell used sex toys, do you?
