Every once in a while, you can't have a win-win situation. For things to go good for you, they have to go bad for someone else. On these occasions, the only saving grace is if the someone else has some dispicable and disengenuous characteristics. Then when you win, it's not so bad that the other party gets the ass end of the deal.
Announcing...

Time Warp
It's been one of those weeks where you go to bed on Monday night and when you wake up it's Thursday. I have no idea how the time has flown so fast this week.
~
All I've been doing is staring at a computer screen.
~
Yesterday, I started at 6:00AM and then looked at the clock that said 1:30PM. What a freaking time warp!
~
"What am I working on????", you ask? Long time Peeps know that the answer to this annoying question is "None of your Freaking Business." Suffice it to say that I'm really glad that Nanepashemet Telecom came up short on the last two large procurements that we pitched, because the stuff on our plate these days requires our constant attention.
~
But I'm pretty sure that the current intensive effort will have a huge payback in the near future.
~
At least that's what the spreadsheet says.

Crucial Career Tool
Peeps.
Having a hard time seeing the screen this evening because I've been squinting at spreadsheet cells all day. But it was for a good cause and a worthwhile investment of the day.
~
My career advice to you is to learn Microsoft Excel Use it as much as possible and become as much of an expert as you possibly can.
~
I was an early adopter of spreadsheet software... Visicalc, Supercalc, Lotus123, and finally Excel which has emerged as the time tested standard.
~
Capturing my business and activity in an Excel spreadsheet has saved my ass and enhanced my career more times than I can count. It's one thing to think you know the status and trend of your endeavors, but when you have it in hard numbers, you can send the pretenders, phonies and detractors back into their corporate-speak bunny holes and move your stuff forward.
~
These days, knowing your way around Excel is the only way to carve up the mountain of data that major corporations throw at you just to produce a freaking invoice.
~
A crucial business skillset.

Happy Birthday Mike
~
He turned out pretty good, didn't he?
~
I'm wicked proud of him.
Joanne and I are blessed to have brought three good people into the world. Now it's their job to do the same thing with our Grandkids.

Scumbags and Payback
Ran into some scumbags at a local restaurant during dinner tonight. One thing about scumbags is that they sometimes have a hard time looking at you in the face. At which time, said scumbag also turns into your Bitch.
~
And speaking of Bitches.... Payback is one. You screwed with the wrong group of people.
~
So enjoy your dinner Scumbags. Payback is a Bitch and this is just the start.
~
Plenty of time left and a lot of territory to cover.
~

Poontang Purchase
All of you Peeps who have been asking me about this Secret Service Colombian prostitute fiasco.... what am I?... some sort of Hooker Etiquette Expert?????
~
Seems the Secret Service Agents who were sent to protect the President and the Secretary of State received services and disputed the bill. In Colombia, prostitution is legal, so a charge was made of snatching the goods... so to speak.
~
Since the goods that were snatched happened to involve some snatch, there's been a lot of consternation on the part of Northern Hemisphere moral legislators who wish to get to the "bottom" of this issue.
~
All I know is that in Colombia, you must pay for poontang when purchased.... period.

How easy would it be to plant a bug while a bunch of flat-tops high-five each other between 'OH' faces? Probably just left a tape recorder under the bible in the drawer.
Happy "Nucks"
Apparently, this group of White, Middle Class, Amateur Hockey Players who prefer to call themselves "Nucks" are quite content with themselves.
~
Congratulations "Nucks" on whatever it is you are so happy about.

Open Minds
So I'm driving back from New Haven, licking my wounds from the neighborhood meeting where I try to explain to the nice folks why a 125' tower would be ok near their homes....
~
Normally I take much more abuse at these affairs than was dished out last night.
~
And it goes without saying that a Mountain of a Man has thick enough skin to endure the wrath of the oppressed multitudes.
~
But even I can get a little down in the dumps, a couple of hours into a three and a half hour drive home.
~
Luckily, the Sox game against Texas was on the Connecticut affiliate of WEEI and I was able to catch the last half.
~
Course... Boston lost 18 to 3. I believe that this was my fault. I never should have listened to the game in my mental condition and obviously caused the horrendous loss with my negative mojo.
~
Youkilis struck out four times.... but that was Bobby Valentine's doing for daring to say that he didn't look right the other day. A BoSox Manager should never speak about what he actually sees to the open minded Red Sox Nation.

Almost Whine
You would think that dealing with big companies, who have many minions, each dedicated to a single task, would make thiings easier and more efficient.
~
Once again.... you Petulant, Posing and Painful Peeps would be woefully wrong.
~
It seems like even the simplest task involves layers of complexity with multiple checkpoints, and the task drags on for weeks... or months.
~
Meanwhile.... the poor schmucks who are doing the work...ie Nanepashemet Telecom and other hapless vendors.... get placed firmly in the darkness as resources grow thiner and thiner.
~
Does this seem like I'm whining????
~
If it does... that would be impossible, because a Mountain of a Man like me, doesn't even know how to whine. Although, if I did.... I would.... whine about this.

- Pisc saidApr 17, 2012 06:16 PMTheir job is to find grounds for delaying payment, and then to pay less than agreed to. It's unethical and effective.

As long as you whistle-while-you-whine, this p-p-p-peep, will keep-on-peepin’-on…
