To be fair, I think he knows how, he just doesn't have a license and hasn't driven in a long time.

Dang, I hate being fair, it takes all the fun out of it....:(
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #154: Olympics

Good morning Lodge. We have our department summer outing today at the New England Aquarium. Don't need to be there till 10am. It's over at 2pm. I'm going to go home to change as I have a work event at 5:30 and will need to change. I think I will head into the office for an hour or so to check emails, etc. And I have tomorrow off. The weather here is beautiful today. Should be a fun day.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #154: Olympics

Ah, its a beautiful morning, something is just different this morning. It is like we're all in a better place because it is a certain time of the year, but I just can't put my finger on it. My mouth is watering and I'm not sure why.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #154: Olympics

Mornin all! Been a while since I've dropped by... hard to believe we are winding down summer!

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #154: Olympics

She asked, “[Clown], Einstein’s on five, right?”
I replied, “Five is the lakes.”
“What?”
“Every floor has a theme. Five is the lakes, four is the rivers, and eight is the scientists.”
“You’re no help.”
“Why?”
“I just want to know where Einstein is.”
“It’s on eight, with the scientists.”
“Well who can remember that?”
“They’re pretty famous scientists – Newton, Galileo, Einstein.”
…

As some background, the conference rooms in my office are named after MN rivers, Great Lakes or famous scientists. The woman asking me these questions has been my department for 32 months now (I remember the day because it's turned out to be a black stain on all of us). For the first two years she's been in the group she'd been assigned to a project with me that had twice weekly meetings in the Einstein conference room. I still can't believe that she graduated from the U of M's Carlson School of Business. Actually, I can't believe she graduated high school. She must have sucked a lot of dicks along the way.

But Goldy, she only has 10 fingers, and taking her shoes and socks off just isn't compliant to dress code.

I applied for a travel approval to go to Scotland again, in case I have to go. I gave the customer some pretty specific instructions on what to do, and I think if they follow them, all will be fixed, but who knows at this point. I'm about 99% sure that this whole problem that they're *****ing about is a problem with them doing the procedure wrong, but that's not going to matter here soon.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #154: Olympics

And now I'm working with a project manager who needs to be clubbed like a baby seal. She's taking the initiative to contact our outside vendors and just has no idea what's going on. It's one thing to be wrong, it's another to be completely ****ing clueless and make the entire project team look bad.

yup. I know that situation all too well.

Just today I sent an internal e-mail about an issue, making sure it was internal only, and then it gets forwarded to the supplier. Now I know why a this person is usually left out of the loop. Problem is, it's a process she should be included on. She just needs to learn when and what to share with customers and suppliers, and what can be taken care of internally.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #154: Olympics

My niece just said good bye to her two closest friends as they left for college today. She's staying local. These girls have been best friends forever. I feel for her and want to cheer her up somehow. One of them is going to UVM so when BU plays up there I told her I would bring her with me so they can visit.
