Current Mixed Feelings

I try.

[Dalty]

You say it best when you say nothing at all.

PS- I love the way that, instead of rallying round Adam and giving support in his hour of need with livelihood challenges like this, we take his misfortune and spin it into him being a sub-standard cock smoker at a two bit dick sucking outfit.

It's just sooooooo Huffy Flounce!

[Corporal_Hicks]

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

I love Adam and wish only the best for him. I hope this is clear.

[Mal Shot First]

It's a dick sucking company? Sounds like a money spinner!

It's more of a meat spinner.

[Dalty]

Hell of a tan line!!!

I smell what you're cookin', and am happy to report that no matter what happens, I will not be forced to take a job at Dalty's Dick Sucking, Inc.

Oh and because someone asked, this job is with my landlord. If you scroll back maybe ten pages in this thread to last summer, I agonized over whether to take it or not. Clearly my agony was well spent.

[Dalty]

So you are an employee AND a customer?

Аdаm Ѕkоglund, CEO and Customer, Beej Club for Men

(I know it looks like I used Adam's real name, but don't worry. It won't turn up in any searches. I used a mix of Latin and Cyrillic scripts.)

[Corporal_Hicks]

Fuckin' and Suckin' since 1994.

[Adam54]

So you are an employee AND a customer?

Yuuuuup, so I have to thread the needle very carefully with this delightful woman so as to not anger her so much as to get me booted out of my apartment.

People up north are so compassionate and understanding.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

You'd think the average Minnesotan would be nicer. I mean, like, they're practically Canadians.

People up north are so compassionate and understanding.

Don'tcha know!

Conan O'Brien summed us up best when I saw him do his stage show here in 2010.

"This is my first time in Minnesota, but from what I'm told you people are very nice and very passive-aggressive, so I'm expecting a lot of sarcastic applause."

[Dalty]

So now you passively aggressively go and get a new job?

[Adam54]

That's the aim! If I can get the appropriate visa in place, will you hire me, Mr. Dimple, sir?

I need 2 senior business analysts and a finance business partner. What do you know about Risk?

No Goiter - not the board game.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

I've preordered Garth Risk Hallberg's City on Fire. I've read The Art of War and The Prince, and I think Game Theory is one of the eighties' best bands. Does that help my chances?

No Goiter - not the board game.

In what line of work are you, exactly? Finance?

[Dalty]

Pretty much.

[Adam54]

Then I know risk is something to be taken at every opportunity, particularly with someone else's money.

[Adam54]

The manager at the apartment job just called me with a question about an application I took on Saturday.

I sent her right to voicemail because

A) I've asked them at least a dozen times not to call me during the week while I'm at my other job.
B) As it's been made clear I can't talk to her on my days off from there, I've decided she can't talk to me on my days off from there.

Petty? Yes. But seeing as they'll get rid of me soon one way or another, I may as well go down swinging and having some fun.

[Dalty]

Then I know risk is something to be taken at every opportunity, particularly with someone else's money.

If only that were true.

Don't go getting yourself fired and having a black mark on your resume just to prove a point. The moral high ground can get you paid and find you a better job.
