OT: The OT Thread: Work sucks. Dogs don't. (Warning in post 368)

Anybody have experience trying to turn the table on a supervisor and putting them in a bad position? Like, say, I tell him that I know he's trying to get rid of me to hire a friend, and that I'll leave if he puts it in writing that I was laid off with a 6 month severance package?

As an aside, I heard today that his post-retirement plan is to work for a company that just "won" a bid to do work at our place. Certainly a quid-pro-quo would be doubling down on assholery, wouldn't you say? I'm so sick of this mofo.

Do you know his manager? It might be a case of talking to them. Or if you really wanna be a dick, go to the new company and say that this guy is an unethical f*** and see if they’ll pull their offer. Or point out to whoever is hiring this company that they’re bringing in an unethical f*** and it would be really bad look for the firm. You’re a bunch of ways, just depends on the relationship with management up the line.

There's no one above him, unfortunately.
 


This one hurts. I was the biggest ECW fan you could imagine, regularly staying up until 2 in the morning on a school night just to watch the TV show on MSG and Sabu was a major reason why. Seeing him live for the first time after begging my dad to go out to Middletown in 1996 is one of my fondest memories ever as Sabu and RVD vs The Eliminators tore the house down and I still have a piece of the table Sabu put Perry Saturn through in that match.

He's been active, too. Not like in a physical way, but making appearances. Still, this is maybe the least shocking wrestler death in a while.

He just had what was billed as his retirement match last month.

Of all the wild old ECW guys you expected wouldn't reach old age I think Sandman is the only one left.

Struggling through a hangover. I'm too old for this shit.

More importantly - I am idiot. A giant idiot.

I was just telling my wife how many people are detroyed by hangovers the next day, and I can down 5-6 drinks and be fine the next day. I don't think that's a good thing, though. My wife reminded me it's because I have more training than others, haha.

It's definitely the worst thing I do health wise. Other wise, I take good care of myself.

Randomly found these today. Hopefully they’re good or else I wasted $5.39

You definitely need to have those consistent reps to stay in drinking shape.

I stopped drinking over 25 years ago. Part of it was that I was in such good drinking shape that it became dangerous. Like blowing a 0.09 and feeling perfectly sober dangerous.

Yeah. I usually do 10-15 a week. It seems each decade I age, those numbers decrease atleast. The good news is, when I drink- it doesn't need to be excessive. I can kick back a whiskey on the rocks or two for a night and be good. My father, on the other hand, has always struggled with only having a couple. Any time he drank, it was always 6+.

I suppose we all have our vices!

I was like your dad because I started drinking in a fraternity in college. So, it was almost a competition.

That did not transition well post-college...

The good thing was that I was a "problem drinker" and not addicted to alcohol. So, it wasn't hard for me to go cold turkey.

Gave up drinking for Lent. Thought I'd have a problem (craving). Thankfully I did not. Lent is over, I'm back at it. Too effin hot here already, and summer heat isn't here yet. Supposed to be low 90s on Friday.

By my weather station, we've had 15.6 inches of rain since Friday. That's ~40cm for you metric fans, and a little shy of one cubit for you folks using old testament antedeluvian units. Friday 0.4", then 1.29", 2.95", 6.33", 4.66" today. I was trenching the swale in front of my house this AM (hence the heat/sweat reference in 1st paragraph) to get better drainage flow through the neighbor's culvert, and a dove brought me an olive branch.

Wife picked a great time (early Sat AM) to go to the desert of PHX, AZ. Nephew's collegiate graduation, chaperoning and "ubering" her parents, then on to Vegas for 2 days of gambling in the dry heat. They won't see 15 inches of rain in two years combined.
