So I've got a FB friend whose baby daddy is getting out of jail after three years for armed robbery. She's talking on there how she's going to do a surprise video with her kid seeing him like they do the soldiers coming home from war.

I mean, I get it. Her kid is like, 5 and doesn't understand all of it and will be excited to see her dad, but something about doing that in these circumstances just rubs me the wrong way.

Forgot to mention, a spider almost killed me this morning. I got out of the shower and grabbed my towel hanging on the rack, opened it up and prepared to do my spider towel shake when I noticed that bastard clinging to my towel. Luckily I was able to get him before he got me. I always shake my towel thoroughly before I use it. GF's of the past have said I'm crazy but this is the reason why.
 
I need some help. Have to call a part time employee under me soon about terminating. Not sure how to word it, and what to say. Boss gave me a quick rundown, but any of you have any other advice?
 
Went to Bachmann's Garden Center this afternoon and picked up a new girlfriend. Here she is all safety buckled into the Boxster. Kind of a quiet gal, just repeats "I am Groot" a lot.

Did you take the car pool lane?
 
My interview went pretty well. Only bad thing is that I'm in school full time through the end of the year and they are looking to hire someone soon. But he said they regularly have openings for these positions so I should keep an eye out for another one. He said a lot of people work full time and work on their Master's part time.

In other job news, I was offered a part time grader position in my department, so now I have a part time job that I can do from home or wherever.


Sounds promising. I had an interview yesterday as well. Went well, as expected.
 
Well, to be honest with you, the past couple of days I've learned that a lot of people around here have trouble detecting sarcasm, parody, jokes, etc. Your thread about Netten, my fake open letter yesterday, and surly dissecting the grammar on your joke about comic sans makes me think that RTV must be operating on a different wavelength from the rest of the site.
well this is awkward, since I kind of thought you were serious with that. Granted, I just looked at the title and I think the first paragraph.

Yeah, I guess it did start sounding serious (except for the obvious Roads and Sam E. Richardson), but by the time you get to my virtual season tickets or my cyclone garden gnome predicting the future, it should have been clear.
 
People are just so angry right now. I have no idea how ANYONE could take my thread of moving Netten to defensive end as a serious one. Through about the first paragraph of yours I kind of thought you were serious, but by the second one I knew what you were doing.

I mean, I get it, people are mad about football. I guess personally, I'm going to wait to judge, as an FCS game and a rivalry game aren't the two best games to be able to judge a team, but even after that, I'm not going to be upset to the point that I'm just spewing vitriol all over the place about it. But that's just me. I suppose in my early 20s I was like that, but I guess this is an example where getting older isn't a bad thing.
So this is more liberal artsy (I was an international relations major, so sue me), but I think part of it has to do with how you view CF. I see it as a public space, so I act about how I would in public (meaning I don't scream, rant, or throw tantrums on here). When we lost to UNI I was ******, but I wasn't going to post a lot of here about it. I think some of the people who really go off the deep end view it as a more private space so they're more willing to scream, rant throw tantrums etc.

Also, they always talk about how law school changes how you think, and I've started noticing it. I told a classmate I'd buy his ticket for the game from him and then was thinking if that would be a unitary contract or a bilateral contract. and then I got very sad.

Just read it, and I couldn't believe I missed the best parts! I stopped two sentences too early. :no:

That might be part of it, but having seen people at sporting events and in general public, I think some people are just morons. My neighbor screaming at his daughter over softball, people losing their **** in the mall, some people are just jackarses.

yeah, you're probably more right
 
Mostly just no show, some performance issues


no experience, but I feel like this makes it easier. If you've already discussed the no shows and warned them about it, I think something about 'we've discussed xyz issues last month/whenever, and unfortunately this has not significantly improved and we have decided to let you go."


Pants fires people though, he probably has a method.



Which I assume is "hey you, you're fired!"
