The Evil Dr. Longshadow

Math isn't any good when you're making up the figures to put into it. You have no basis of actual figures for it.

Coffee is not a narcotic, nor is it being sold in the U.S. as contraband and it does not turn people into zombies. So, trying to lump it in with crack isn't any different from trying the same with orange juice.

No, you're just not guessing my height correctly. If I were 4'8. It might be normal for somebody to be a third taller. At my actual height, the same person could find a career in pro basketball.

Taller than 4'8, Mack.

So, claiming to be a third taller than I am without knowing how tall I am.

Since when am I ever using crack? Coffee is way better. It doesn't make zombies out of people.

That explains Scoob claiming to be seven feet tall.

So, you're going to listen to Scoob, who suddenly claims to be seven feet tall. Good job.

Do you honestly believe that pace is unattainable?

The Hell I'm not. If you learn how to walk and use your watch, you might find out your own pace. Mine is a little bit under twenty minutes to a mile.

Scoob isn't seven feet tall.

Nice. But you probably still can't walk at a reasonable pace, or wouldn't be so quick to claim "bullshit" on mine.

Think what you like. It's quite possible on a thirty two inch inseam.

3.25 miles in fifty minutes.

Ever hear of Dave Ramsey?

Lunch, new shirt and a Skagen. Money leftover for other things.

And, you are aware that 401k accounts are erratic. Better pay close attention to where it's all invested.

What did I say? Did I ever indicate anywhere in this thread that what went on today or last night is not normal or that I should be in full panic mode over it? Did I even express any surprise about it?

I never worked for Trump either. Now, how's that big fat 401k progressing?

It's all quite normal for this time of year. Wait until late August if you wanna see the rest of it. You may just see another Hurricane Sandy clone.

Seveny eight degrees right now and I'm seeing idiots walking around in hoodies. Come on, save that for late October. They wonder why they sweat like pigs and smell like rotted onions.

I'm on the way for a very big plate of chicken salad.

Your workplace doesn't include managers who cut costs and feed their egos by firing people. Mine did. Anybody can do well when the weather is favorable. You don't know the ship until it's been through the storms.

One truth prevails at the casino. Firing people is managent's favorite thing to do. It feeds their egos and keeps their labor costs at a minimum. Can you successfully navigate that rocky rapid or longer than three decades?

That all depends on who you ask. Casinos have a nasty habit of getting rid of bad employees before they finish their first year. I've worked through nine department heads and a long parade of different supervisors. I've seen senior management and even ownershilp come and go during my time there. I guess none of them noticed anything wrong.
