AD - glad to hear your Dad's surgery went well. I hope he heals quickly and the pain goes away.

Asshole rule in play. FO and D, while satisfying makes you the asshole. Offer up a tidbit or two of assistance, apologize that you really can't help him more than that without stepping on toes (or whatever excuse you can create) then point him to someone at the lab and let him know that they are 'more than capable'. Bonus points if you send him to The Minion and she f's it up.ArkieDukie wrote:Y'all will love this. I received an email today from a former coworker that I have, in the past, referred to as Blustery.

If you need an additional opinion, I will step up to the plate and volunteer. I wouldn't want you to overstress yourself.lawgrad91 wrote:It's a tough job, but someone has to do it.
I am attempting to find a 2013 firefighter calendar for the office, um, reading room. Who knew looking at all these six packs would be so stressful. I may have to lie down, or I may have to table the search until a little later in the year. Apparently more firefighter calendars need to be perused when they become available.
AD, the gentlemen from Houston are currently in the lead, along with the Firefighters of New York (not the official FDNY calendar). Both are raising money for burn victims.
We decided to table the job for a month or so. Several websites said their calendars would be out in mid-October.DukieInKansas wrote:If you need an additional opinion, I will step up to the plate and volunteer.

Blustery sent me data files; he wanted me to download them at this end and see if I could open them in a particular software package that we both have. I didn't outright refuse to do it, but I answered his question without even downloading the files he sent. I feel that I've already expended far too much energy on Pushy PI and The Minion. I very nicely gave him general technical tips and did not spend a lot of time on it. The software he's using won't upload Pushy PI's data files. I was really tempted to ask if the software has an automated BS detector.windsor wrote:Asshole rule in play. FO and D, while satisfying makes you the asshole.

Which is why I have dropped a bunch of people from my newsfeed (kept them as friends...for now lol) - and click on the side bar adds for <insert name of candiate that makes me want to hurl> and mark them as 'offensive' or 'not my views'...and I have been reasonabley successful in giving my wall a religion and <insert name of candiate that makes me want to hurl>-ectomy.bluebutton wrote:AMEN.windsor wrote:Random thought:

I'm not in a swing state and don't watch TV anyways and I still want to smack people--mostly on facebook.
Not everyone refrains over here. That is why we have an ignore button.windsor wrote:Random thought:

I am much happier with some 10% of my FB feed blocked.
What is so funny is that these people have no idea that the reason we're still friends is because I'm not paying any attention to their passionate postings.

If this were survivor, Windsor, you'd be one of the last couple of people I'd ignore of every member of this board.windsor wrote:I am honored that I am not 'ignored'CathyCA wrote:Not everyone refrains over here. That is why we have an ignore button.windsor wrote:Random thought:
