I meant, with Brick's right there, why would you go to Flaherty's? Of course Brick's has dumb bartenders. It'd be like a real-life "Idiocracy" bar!

WARNING: ALL BATTLE STATIONS GO TO TWITCHCON 1. REPEAT, ALL BATTLE STATIONS GO TO TWITCHCON 1 AT THIS TIME.

I ****ing lost ****ing bar trivia on the last ****ing question despite being up by 13 ****ing points.

I was pulling a Jeremy ****ing Lin. Half my team didn't show including the two de facto leaders, but I was ON ****ING FIRE. That ****ing question set was tailor-made for me. They had a ****ing question about Calvin Johnson's nickname for chrissakes. I even nailed the ****ing question about the "Surgeon's Photograph" having to do with the ****ing Loch Ness Monster on the ****ing drop. THE ****ING HOST CAME OVER AND GAVE ME A HIGH FIVE.

I was the Whitney ****ing Houston of bar trivia tonight. Unfortunately, the last question was Bobby ****ing Brown.

The last question was ****ing ridiculous. Put these advertising slogans in the order they were introduced from oldest to newest. Fortunately, we were up by 13 ****ing points. The max wager is 15, so the obvious ****ing thing to do is wager 3 points. Clinches a win if we're right, and even if we're wrong there's no ****ing way the team behind us nails it, right? WRONG. We missed it, they went for 15 and pulled it out of their ****ing ***.

**** bar trivia.

Been there, done that, in junior high News Bowl. That cost me a nice award.

Also, reference the infamous "Trivial Pursuit Challenge" incident in college. Res Life decided it would be a good idea to host a trivia competition, where the winning team won $200. We started at 8... and were playing Trivial Pursuit for 6 ****ing hours. We got second place against a whole team of dooshnozzles that were probably cheating. Our runner-up prize? The same Trivial Pursuit games we'd been playing all night.

And to get serious for a moment:

Learned that one of my fraternity brothers found out that 3 of his friends committed suicide, and 2 of them had entered into a suicide pact together, and now he's posting some survivor guilt ridden messages on Facebook. It was enough to worry me about him doing it himself. I hope he pulls through okay. Assistance with what exactly to do is appreciated.

ETA: Have already texted and messaged him on Facebook. He's not on Facebook, and I'm not sure if he's awake or not.

Did the same. He's been depressed a lot lately, and I don't know what to do either in this case.

Good Morning, MEUSA! :)
Hope you feel better.


Good Morning to the rest of tLodge! :)

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 144: (Lack of) Winter Wonderland

Morning y'all. Super dense fog out in the Houston Ship Channel, and nothing has been happening since about 11pm, so I got to head off early. Tough life, we played madden12 most of the night and got paid for it ;)

Someone should be talking to the folks he lives with/around- parents, pastor, friends. This kind of shiz is scary stuff. When I read that my first instinct is professional intervention either with or without the person's agreement.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!! thursday.
GO DHS!!
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 144: (Lack of) Winter Wonderland

Wow, it sounds like the plan for Saturday got all ****ed up after I went to bed. Am I to assume that we still want to meet up at Campus Pizza before the game? Also, I just realized, I don't think I really want to pay event parking to pre-game at the Campus Pizza. ****.

Everything went really well, they were able to stay with the laparoscopy (thought theyd have to fully open her up), and the Dr. says they got it all, doesn't look like it spread to anything else. :)*

Good morning, Lodge... coffee is on!
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 144: (Lack of) Winter Wonderland

'Morning, Lodge--
So, the situation at work keeps getting worse and worse. The GM, while not a bad guy at all, is getting ruder and more short with me as the days go by, and I don't know what is going on. So, rather than cornering him and asking, "Dude, what the fcuk is your problem?", I e-mailed him and the two owners asking for a six month performance review to address my progress. I'm hoping that helps things, because while I adore my job, I'm kind of at the end of my rope.
And, if it turns out it's not me (or a professional issue with me, I should say), then that really needs to be adressed as well because, really, I'm sick of it.

Good for you for requesting the review. That shows a lot of initiative. Would you have had a review with the owners and the GM anyway, even if you weren't having an issue with the GM? It's got to suck having a direct superior be such an ***. I thank my lucky stars that my boss is great. My annual review went really well the other day. She gave me the same performance rating as I got last year, which says something as our department was told that our overall ratings needed to be lower to fall in line with other corporate departments or some gobbledeegook. One member of my team left late yesterday for a vacation and her iggest client called my boss today asking where this person is. I guess she didn't know that my teammate was out and stuff is in process and needed an update. That's not good. She never said anything to me to cover anything. Or others on my team. My boss is really annoyed. I do not want to be nearby when she gets back from her trip.
