It's the WE Happy Hour Thread for 10/31!! H5's if your week was as bad as mine

[Wretched Excess]

Disturbance, distemper, and disorder.

WHAT an awful week.  I postponed the go-live date of a high profile, very expensive project.  the blowback wasn't as bad as I expected, but we have to get it done before the new year, because it is in the 2008 budget.

I am looking forward to you people helping me to fix the end of my week, so you had better get busy and start being your normal amusing and interesting self NOW.

*whew*.  ok, I am better now.

so, what are y'all up to tonight?  anyone have tons of trick or treaters?

[Wretched Excess]

and I am seriously giving out bonus H5's if you had a shittier week than I did.

My week wasn't to bad.  Had a pretty grumpy night the other day, that wasn't helped with my computer trying to kick me in the nuts.

I called my wife, and she said we're getting bombarded with trick or treaters.  We bought about 5 pounds of candy or so, and she was pretty sure it wouldn't even make it through the 2 hours of trick or treating they have on base.

[franksolich]

I don't mean to disrupt anything, and I'll just stick my nose in for a minute.

We're only 118 comments away from making the October numbers for conservativecave correspond with what I had projected.

So close.....but not there yet.

Please comment, folks, either here or elsewhere on conservativecave.

Now back to the regularly scheduled program......

Probably not as bad but the normal frustrating stuff,been in the job for 8 1/2 years and am ready to move on.
Personal and national economics are a bit of a snag though.

Captain Morgan seems to be helping tonight though and after working in the morning am leaving tomorrow evening for a week of golf in the Pinehurst area of North Carolina.

[djones520]

I'm making as many inane posts as I can Frank.  We'll get here.

I caught the thread about your computer troubles.  I had nothing useful to add, although I did have a few suspicions . . .

we need . . . schad.

we need . . . schad.

She's probably out trick-or-treating with the kids.

I'm sure she'll show up, I hope in time to get some comments in before midnight.

went to work dressed as a giant yellow banana, with the "stem" dangling between my legs and the other stem on the top of my head
was at work five minutes and had an emergency..am clearing an airway and opening up oxygen tanks dressed as a giant banana!  resident is fine, was a little minor episode...I on the other hand am thankful I didn't have to do a full code dressed like a banana, can you imagine coming out of a heartattack and seeing that?

Ooops, I misread your post.

chin up, carl.  the best job I have ever had, and still have, came in the middle of an economic downturn.  smart companies see a downturn as an opportunity to ramp up in strategically important areas.

embellish the resume, and shoot it out some more.

It could have been worse. You could have been working on a heart attack patient and been dressed as a devil or an angel.

That was just like the icing on top of the cake.  I don't know why, but I was just in a pissy mood that night.  My puppy pissed on the couch, then on the living room carpet, followed by my son having a huge shit session, then I go upstairs to get onto my computer to relax a bit and it just starts beeping at me...

Not a good night.  The rest of the week was pretty good though.  I'm getting back into shape, settling in here pretty well, already advancing well in the job, and all in all just really glad we made this move.

Perhaps will find something of interest in NC,going to look around a bit while there.

Wait until winter comes, jones, you might change your mind.

Missouri being a southern state, I have no idea why they have such cold winters, winters one would expect to see in North Dakota or something.

Oh, I forgot; you grew up in Michigan.

So you know what it's like already.

I suspect that you had it on upside down, dear.

My Halloween was pretty much ruined.  As I said elsewhere, I had plans to join a group of CR's for a ghost tour/pub crawl in downtown Savannah this evening (in costume, too).  I was all ready until I got the phone call that it was officially cancelled.   

So here I am, sitting here in my costume (minus the itchy wig), talking to you guys and drinking some Blue Moon (my room-mate left for the weekend, so this morning I picked up some beer ).   

My work schedule sucks this week.  My hours are being cut in favor of slackers (folks who have received pay deductions for how poorly they treat customers are getting more hours than I am, who just got another raise  ).  So glad I bought that beer (and candy too).

yeah, you were in a pretty foul mood.

but you are back in the USA, pal.  count your blessings;  your vote won't get dropped in the floor someplace because it came from an APO.

put your wig back on, and take yourself to the happenin' bar in town.  blow off the first few guys that hit on you, and take it from there.  you have GOT to trust me on this one;  I am a professional.

SCHAD IS IN THE HOUSE!

Cold and snow don't bother me Frank.  We lived about 20 miles inland from Lake Michigan in NW Michigan.  Lake Effect snow was nasty wicked.  Then back in Japan, we averaged about 120 inches of snow a year.

I think I'm better off just sticking around here.  If I'd still gone out, it would have been much earlier and with people I know. But since those people wouldn't answer their phones.... 

 I usually do not leave campus after dark if I'm alone.  So I'll just kick back and find a movie to watch this evening.

well, don't compromise your safety, of course.  but an escorted girlie in a bar that looks like she was confident and sure of herself is an alpha-male magnet.  (even if you have to fake it )

[franksolich]

Well, with Schadenfreude here, we might make the last 85 we need.
