THE Bill Gates????? :eek:

Good morning Lodge. Working from home today. Beautiful day here. I bought a table and two chairs bistro set for my balcony a few months ago and today I'm using it. I have a power outlet out here so I've got my laptop out here with a cup of coffee...not a bad way to work today! Heading to Fenway tonight for the Red Sox game. Looks like the weekend will be kind of a washout. I want to cook and normally I would do that on Sunday after I food shop but it looks like Sunday will be more humid and the last thing I want is to have the oven on. Maybe I'll food shop tomorrow and cook. Won't be a pool day.

Yes, that is the one. :D It's from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Evening. VP visited us today. DHeadBoss gave a tour of the main building and my building. Good God the corpie speak from DHeadBoss:

VP: You enjoy this position, with the isolation and all that?
Me: It's perfect. "Here's the work, get it done." Ok, I'll get it done, boom, done.
DHB: Brent's a self-motivator, he has a level of expertise in all of our areas of how we conduct our business.

VP: It's good to have people who know how everything is done, that's valuable, and you (referring to me) seem to have a good grasp on that.
DHB: Yes, Brent's been with us for many years, what, 17? [yes] He takes direction well, along with working with the team [at the main building] when needed. He is well-versed in all of our practices and policies, and is an asset to the company.

Note to DHB: speak in plain language, like the VP. Don't dress it up.

But yeah, the VP was shown the numbers of all the workers at this branch, and was impressed with what I do. :) Felt good.

Did he assure the Veep that he would "vet" your numbers? Maybe analyze your "chargeability" to clients? I see no mention of "value-add" in there.

He's a total fraud. :D

The VP speaks plainly because they feel comfortable enough to do so given the present company. Your boss, their subordinate, does not. I wouldn't hold it against them.

Based on other stories I've heard, yes. You have every right to call this person a dead head. I just don't think this is one of those times.

D isn't for "dead" it's for "dcik." ;)
DHB always talks and acts like that, though. He is the cliche of corpie-speak/action. If any sort of action is needed, just turn to page (x) of the Management 101 Book, and don't forget to use all the buzzwords that are currently in vogue. ;) He only started doing this once he became management.

Morning, Lodge.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 196: Spam, Spam, Spam

Good afternoon Lodge folks. Going to take advantage of the somewhat cool weather today and cook. A couple of months ago my friend’s mom walked me through how to make one of my favorite Greek dishes. I ate the last of it last week so time to see if I can do it on my own. Wish me luck!
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 196: Spam, Spam, Spam

So the traveling Vietnam Veterans Memorial is in front of the MN Capitol this weekend. My wife and I were driving home around 1AM (after getting my parents at the airport) and decided to swing by. Very impressive, almost as moving as the actual memorial, and well worth the stop especially considering we were the only ones there.

Well, I wasn’t able to re-create the dish. The bechamel sauce never got thick so it didn’t really solidify. Had a piece for dinner. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t what I hoped it would be. I’m going to let it sit the rest of the night, then cover it and put in the fridge to see if will solidify overnight. I’m so bummed.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 196: Spam, Spam, Spam

Evening (morning?) Lodge.

Started the day at the Mediterranean place for a special brewery event with a buddy, then ran into a couple other buddies I didn't know were going to be there, then another buddy happened to be in town and joined us, and an afternoon became an evening, then a night, then a late night. Tons'o'fun. Seems to happen when we go to this place. :)
