OT: Afino's 2012-2013 Lockout-Ending OT Thread

[wilson1379]

I'll be sitting on my couch watching hockey for likely 14 hours or so whilst drinking beers and eventually yelling at the TV. It's been too long.

 

[cybresabre]

I actually set it up so both monitors are staring at each other , causing a spacetime distortion while they both watch each other for the same email.

It's been a long week.

True, the monitors' gravity does indeed distort space-time. Here's hoping they get back to you so it's not hanging over your head this weekend!

 

[Jim Bob]

You needed to have changed the date part to relieve some mutual tension

That would go against the advice of my lady coach.

Thanks!

I almost hope that they wait until like next Tuesday. My boss is a good friend, and I always told him that if I was looking, I'd let him know. He's been on vacation this week, so I didn't have a chance to tell him that the interview was scheduled, since that happened Monday. I'd almost not want him to come in Monday morning and have me tell him I'm leaving right away.

Hey guys...Guess what

Didn't take my suggestions

When was the interview?

 

[SackTastic]

When was the interview?

Wed afternoon. I'm aware that I'm looking for this WAAAAAY too early, but it's a great opportunity, so I have ants in my pants about it.

Yeah, I know that feeling. I'm always annoyed when I don't hear back within a few days, but for most companies it usually goes a couple weeks out before they have a decision. The only time I heard back sooner was when I left an interview and before I got home they left a message on my voicemail extending a verbal offer.

 

[SackTastic]

Yeah, I hear that. I've read elsewhere that this company will sometimes FedEx an offer packet too, but I dunno.

I interviewed with 5 people in 3 hours, and the 3 of them that were managers asked about start dates and salary, so I took that as a very good sign.

Maybe it will come as a nice Monday morning present.

EDIT: I actually just got some information that the CEO is reviewing every new hire, so I definitely should relax a bit. :p

I still love you the most.

I'll always be GirgsAndGrigs...in my heart.

However, i had to change my name, to end the lockout.

But any good lady coach will tell you to grab your bat and get back in the box for another swing or two

That's a very interesting new leaf you have there...

I've been good with only an occasional relapse

Tonight: going to try longhorn steak house with the gift card my boss gave me for Christmas
Tomorrow: running errands, relaxing and possibly taking the family to a movie

Need a date?

 

[Old Navy Goat]

So I've had my hopes raised and crushed in the same phone call. The girl I had fallen madly in lust over called and said that she missed me, wanted me to come to Vegas and see her. She asked if I still had her picture frame...which fricking goes off with that damn song every time I turn the light on or off in my room. Well as the conversation continues it ends up that she's still performing and doing quite well in Vegas, much better than San Antonio; so I'm happy for her. Then she casually mentions that she's been doing some AV work, so it put a damper on my desire to see her again.

 

[BUCKSHOT]

Las Vegas !

 

[Mike McDermott]

Need a date?

Sure.
I'm not a cheap date though.

Operating the boom mic, perhaps? Maybe she's doing some post-production work?

 

[*Bob Richards*]

So.....you guys come here often?

 

[cybresabre]

So.....you guys come here often?

"...would you like to?"

 

[Mike McDermott]

So.....you guys come here often?

Some of us too often.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Some of us too often.

Was playing board roulette to post in a random OT thread. Here I am.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Some of us too often.

Aren't you supposed to be picking me up for a date?
