someone tells you you're not "management material"? >:(


Time.. management.. maybe?

No, I think they're right Howard. You shouldn't be some loser ass manager, you should be the executive vice president!

In fact, I'm gonna give my man Michael Neal a call and see if he can hook you up with a $50 Billion portfolio up in Stamford.

...stupid PM limits kick in?  Nutter butters.

you get a sore inside your nose from blowing it, yet you have to keep blowing it so it just keeps getting worse? :(

Yeah, I've tried that but it's actually scabbed over and the saline wasn't doing much so I put a glob of vaseline on it (which, let me tell you, looks REALLY attractive ;))

That happens to me in the winter, I found something that works better than vaseline.  Boroleum.  You can't find it everywhere, some drug stores carry it.  If they don't you can order it from here...

The Borg rule.

DAMN!!!  You must sleep REALLY lightly.....there's no way I'd hear my phone if it was in another part of the house :o

DYHIW you can't go to a party because you have homework to do? >:(No offense, Howard, but you're not.  Many people aren't, it's not as easy being in management as it seems.  You have to be able to reprimand people, fire them, make decisions by yourself, keep control of situations, etc, etc AND keep your cool while you're doing them.


Someone I know told me that I'm not management material. :(

Someone I know told me that I'm not management material. :(



That person wasn't exactly lying, Howard.

I'm not trying to be harsh, but let's think about this logically, Howard.  You won't even ride the train from NY to PA by yourself.  Now how are you supposed to deal with being in a management position? 


It's pretty hard Jacks.

That person wasn't exactly lying, Howard.



What do you mean? ???

It's much too cold out and you can't even feel your fingers? :o

What do you mean? ???


She means that the person who told you that you were not management material was telling you the truth.

What do you mean? ???



Uhhhh, that the person was telling the truth?  You're not management material.  Not a lot of people are.

She means that the person who told you that you were not management material was telling you the truth.


I guess that person found out from that person's parents. ::)

Hell No.

The Borg are like Liberals.. they want everybody to be the same.

You should see what MY tests are like :P  They reference some obscure science paper I neglected to read and it's worth 60 frackin' points.  Thankfully I have a knack for BS :D

Luckily this was just a quiz and he throws out 1 question on each and our lowest quiz score.  I aced the last one, but couldn't keep all of the frikkin gobbledygook names straight so I tanked :(

I hate when I read the question wrong. 

On one of my finals last semester (multiple choice) I accidently chose A instead of B when I knew B was the answer.  I needed to slow down and pay attention.

Did you get a new mattress?  When we got our previous one, I had to go out and buy all new sheets because the ones we had barely fit because the mattress was too thick.  I'd also recommend a mattress cover and they make these things that you can put on the sheet (elastic with a button/hook thingy on each end) to keep it from coming off if you don't want to buy new sheets....

Goddammit he's back.  I don't understand how people can make so much goddamned noise while typing and sitting down and stuff.  The most noise I make is unzipping my jacket after undoing the velcro straps.  It's like he thinks this is his personal bathroom, I'm surprised he isn't running around naked singing showtunes.

ya, I've seen people like that...who cannot control their noise..no matter what they are doing.  My grandma is like that at the movie theater.....first she unwraps a piece of candy and all you can hear is the wrapper...then the ENTIRE time she is eating it....you can hear her moving the candy around in her mouth, bumping off of her teeth, etc. It's SOOO annoying! ::) ;D

Yesterday was the day that I had to refill my card to put money on it so I brought with me 40.00 cause the machine gives you 40.00 with an 8 dollar bonus to last me a month or so and then when I went to reach for my transfer for the bus my money must've fallen out of my coat pocket so when I went to put my card in the machine to fill it up,My money was gone so I asked an MTA person,a guy who looked normal guy turned out to be homeless and a few pure strangers If they could help me out but a lot of people snubbed me for 40.00 so I said to myself I'm going to walk home,I'm 33 and I'm not homeless so I'll refill on the weekend. ::)

I don't know about NY, but in Boston if you tell the person at the T you don't have the money they are supposed to let you get on anyway.  I thing they may ask for an ID and take your name to make sure you don't keep repeating the process.  The fact that you had a card at all should have been reason enough to let you get a ride home. 

DYHIW you get tickets to the Celtics/Nets game because you like Jason Kidd and Paul Pierce, and Paul Pierce is injured and sick but tries to play any way, and Jason Kidd sits out a bit because the Celtics are on their way to their 17th loss in a row so you might as well not waste Kidd on a group of guy that don't look like they have ever played off of the schoolground.  They only good play on the Celtics is Dontel West who looks like he may be a biggie in a couple of years  :)

Yeah,I had no money on my card and they told me to tell a policeman but I refused cause I didn't want to bother the police for just 40.00 so I wound up walking it home,It wasn't that bad of a walk.

Howard, you were asking complete strangers for $40?!  No wonder no one gave you the time of day; strangers aren't just going to hand over that amount of money to someone they don't know.

If you want strangers to give you money, you gotta start low.. and also, have kind of a sales pitch.

Say "Hey buddy, can I borrow a dollar, Jimmy Carter said he send his goons after me if I didn't give him $20 by the end of the day!"

My sister almost got pulled over a couple nights ago. We were driving down Old Milton after stopping at the QT for something to drink, and she's doing about 15 over the speed limit.  I'm telling her to slow down, just as we see a cop driving down the road in the opposite direction.  He puts his lights and sirens on, she starts FREAKING out, and pulls over to the side of the road....turns out, he was chasing someone else. 

She did the speed limit home.  ;)

Uh...a couple weeks ago I got pulled over on the HWY doing 70 in a 55.  So the guy asks me where I was going and why I was going so fast.  I told him that I was going home and just lost track of my speed.  So he takes my license and goes back to the car and does his thing.  So he comes back to my window and says, "I don't know why I'm doing this because I've been writing tickets here all day, but I'm gonna let you off with a warning on this one."  Whew!!!  I was so happy and promised him that I'd watch my speed and I drove slow the rest of the way.

^ Holy crap!  Did you show him your boobs or something?

I keed I keed.

^ Holy crap!  Did you show him your boobs or something?

I wish I had boobs to flash when I got pulled over :P

You bribed your officer?  :o

I just kinda stood there and nodded as they reamed me for speeding.  I had just left from dropping Jess off at home and was motoring home so that my parents wouldn't yell at me for staying up so late.  Apparently somebody phoned in my plates just south of San Jose and we were damned near in Pleasanton by the time the cops finally pulled me over.  I was on the phone with Jess and then saw the lights behind me and was like "Whoops."  Pretty sad. 

I even wrote a parody about it :D

Gross!

Howard is not being facetious in this case.  In some countries, farmers feed ants lots of spices and honey, which are stored in their abdomens.  The abdomens can swell up to accommodate lots of these substances, and when large enough, can just be twisted off and coated with chocolate.

Sounds gross.  Never tried it.

Yep.  It's my favorite kind - it really does "taste more like fresh roasted peanuts."  ;D

I saw that.....I immediately went and checked mine.....it was Jif ;)

DYHIW you get chilled getting out of the shower and can't warm back up? :(


I usually buy Jif but Peter Pan was on sale.  Just my luck.

when you feed you son a peanut butter sandwich yesterday and the day before that and then you find out it's being recalled for Possible Salmonella Contamination .  :o :( >:(





Yeah, my jar has been recalled too, but I've already eaten out of it, and I didn't get sick, so I'm guessing it is alright.  I still threw it away anyways though.

He didn't get sick either, thankfully.  I just want to know if I'm gonna get my money back!  ;D

... you never seem full and are always hungry.  :P

Supposedly you can send in your jar lid with your name and address and you'll get a refund, although I don't know how they would know how much to pay you if you don't have the receipt from where you bought it.

I'll send my lid back if I don't lose it before then.

What they usually do is send you a coupon for a free jar.....like you'd really want to buy another one of the same brand right away ::)

I've actually done something similar before, but it was a complaint with some razors I had bought.  I can't remember the brand, but I had bought some razors that didn't shave very well.  So I e-mailed the company and told them that I had tried their razors and I didn't think they worked well at all.  They sent me a check for $5 and change...more than I paid for it.  I think they just took the average price and sent me that amount.

I'd much rather have that.  All I've ever gotten is free coupons :-\\

When they changed the formula for the Diet 7-up back in '98, I e-mailed the company, and they sent me a coupon for a free 6 pack of Diet 7-up and a t-shirt advertising their website.  ::)

YES!!!  I hate that. One time there must have been a bunch of defective bags because just about all of my bags ripped on the bottom as I was carrying in my groceries. 

you have no choice but to walk in the street cause there's a mound of snow that's hard as ice and you can't get around it? >:( ::)

Mine usually roll around the back end of my Expedition so when I open the tailgate to get them out, they fall all over the driveway (and since our driveway is on an incline, they usually end up in the street ::))

....you accidentally set your alarm for x:xx PM instead of x:xx AM...and you end up oversleeping by about 20 minutes. >:(

....you can't find anything to eat for lunch?

the snow refuses to melt until there's a rainstorm.

Are you guys holding the pouch wrong?  ???  I got pretty good at making the straw and pouch work...granted, it is a pretty crappy design on their part :D

You suck a lollipop unknowingly giving it a sharp edge...and then you cut your mouth on said sharp edge

you try to thread a needle like 20 times and you keep missing?? >:(

That annoys the HELL out of me.  I used to sit next to someone in my advertising class who did that and it drove me up a friggin' wall.



DYHIW....you don't get the job you interviewed for?  It's okay though, the guy I met with was really nice and said that he'd pass my information along to some people in marketing/advertising because he felt bad.  He said someone who was as creative as I was didn't need to spend all day at a desk taking quotes and filling orders.

It might be a blessing in disguise because it sounded like you weren't too enthused about the job anyway when we last spoke about it, which means that if he does have connections that gets you into an even better job...well, there's your silver lining :)

I think yada, yada sounds worse than blah blah blah


I totally agree with you!!

My mother-in-law says "yada, yada" and it drives me insane.

It's a bit of a bummer to get turned down, but that's part of the process. Eventually, you'll get matched up to the best job for you. Perhaps it is good that you didn't get it since you are capable of doing much more than menial office duties and would rather be using your skills. Hang in there, keep stepping up to the plate and you'll get a big clutch hit soon.

DYHIW when you're washing your car cos it's such a nice day, then  halfway through it starts to rain?  Then when you get back to it and you're hosing it down, you notice that some child has left the back window open just a tiny bit... >:(

DYHIW as you clean house, it occurs to you that you are just rearranging items and that tomorrow it'll be back to being a wreck again. 
Help, I'm drowning in clutter.

you just can't win a relationship battle. :(

I keep watching those organization shows, hoping that one day I'll get inspired to throw masses of stuff out.  But I come from a long line of packrats and it's hard to throw stuff out that "one day" I might need or get rid of something that I paid "good" money for.  Obviously the cat doesn't do *her* part in helping me organize!  >:(  Blame the cat, that works.  ;D

It starts to snow again.. :(

you go to a dinner buffet and whenever your partner is finished eating (but you aren't and were planning on getting other stuff) you feel pressured to go now that they are done.  I guess it's just the cheapskate in me wanting to get my money's worth so I always end up eating massive amounts of food (which isn't good for my diabetes anyways)..  lol  Nevermind, guess I'm just blowing off steam.  But I'm still thinking about that damn Bourbon Street chicken that I want more of...  :\'(

you have to go to a job interview in the rain  ::)


I went to one once when it had been blizzarding.  My high heels (I had to change in the elevator) because I wore boots to GET to the interview.  Then when I do get there, the lady says "Oh I just assumed you wouldn't be here in this weather, so I just scheduled some other things to do, have a seat over there and I'll clear some time to interview you."

Two hours later, she finally interviews me, and by then, I'm a nervous wreck.  Needless to say, I did not get the job.  ;D
