xp—that ist good one. hay alex you got the full vocal version of “seen yr video”? i would very much like to hear that, if so.
“Welocme back to the office! Can you see me when you get a chance?”
8[
do not want
allyzay have you ever dated goofy?
“why won’t she answer? ;_;”
^^^^^ alex’s joke is better
is this the incorrect instinct??
no absolutely correct. i didn’t answer calls from my parents for months when they got a new area code only because i didn’t recognize it. i never answer the phone unless i’m expecting a call from someone i who may not be calling from a number in my phone book.
i’m wondering if it is perhaps tony dungy, calling me from disneyworld, offering me a coaching position, and i am blowing my chances.
ok, if i thought this i’d be checking my phone every two minutes just to make sure i was still getting a signal or something. you have to answer now. are you up for special teams, strength & conditioning, or linebackers coach?
Try to breathe some life into a letter
Losing hope, never gonna be together
My courage is at it’s peak
You know what I mean
How do say you’re O.K. to
An answering machine?
How do you say good night to
An answering machine?
hahahahahaha! funnies!
ok i guess i’ll start answering my phone then
no don’t. i will just be a bunch of sad drunk clicks and whirrs
i mean it not i
sure you do
NOW the story comes out...
If I came back as a dolphin

U can cut off all my fins
But 2 your ways I will not bend
I’ll die before I let U tell me how 2 swim
And I’ll come back again as a dolphin
**clik clik**
ATTN MORAN: KILLER WHALE != DOLPHIN
UH THATS WHY HES SINGING THAT SONG U LITTLE BITCH
WHATEVER I AM NEVER SPOONING WITH YOU AGAIN
so guys
this is the meeting is just had
1an: so i’m sure you have heard by now about d4rrel
me: yeah, he told me himself on tuesday!
1an: well i just wanted to let you know some things (blah blah blah about a career fair and interview process and # of candidates etc etc). i mean, basically, we need to take some of the load off of you. you’re the only person selling any ads on the team, to be honest.
me: lol yeah i know you’d be fucked if i went on a bender or something (nb: i actually said this)
1an: lol yeah don’t do that! i’m serious, though. so, i would like to get you more involved in a lot of the higher level processes, i think maybe we need to get you in on managerial type stuff........
me: (thinking) DO NOT WANT DO NOT WANT BOXCAR BOXCAR NO NO NO PLZ SAVE ME SHAMU
1an: ...first, this is an admission of a mistake on my part. you’re going to be taking back over the c0ld spr1ng harb0r account, and i’m going to reassess the key accounts anyway, let’s see what we can do with that. i think you’d be a better fit for quite a few of them...
me: (thinking) HOW DOES THIS HELP EXCUSE ME BUT WTF R U DOIN
1an: ...also, the interview process is going to start on monday. i’d like you to be responsible for this, have you ever interviewed people before?
me: (dumbfounded) yes, at my last job, and at the radio station i had to do that too but neither were very professional places lol.
1an: lol radio station! cool. anyway, yeah, i think it’d be best to have you do this, so we can make sure the entire team is working with you, i think you’d be kind of supervisory...
me: (head explodes)
so i went to the korean and flirted for some free coffee to make myself feel better but it only half helped.
WTF DO I HAVE TO DO AROUND HERE? I AM ALREADY WASTING 98% OF MY DAY ONLINE AND SHOW UP HUNGOVER 73% OF THE TIME AND THIS IS THE THANKS I GET.
Cool Allyzay, congrats! Maybe it means more $$$
the thing is that those cat dollars are actually what i am being paid in here, mw

hey ZR to answer yr question from like an hour ago i have about half of BOINK!! but not the alt “Seen yr video.” there’s some other good shit on there tho if you ever wanna hear it, tho maybe nothing too essential if you already have, like, the acoustic “stairwell” version of “can’t hardly wait”
you can prob s0uls33k that shit pretty easily BOINK’s not hard to find.
wow, cartilage head really reminds me of the comics a guy I went to college with did

top clip, alex, I see you get a starring role 1:20 in
this was what it sent me to next
wow that shoe is giving birth to a kitten!
oh man i heart fattey kitten!!
QUE??
UH WTF WITH THE THUNDER
WTF WAS THAT NOIZE
yeah that was crazy loud
oh man that would rule so hard if that was what the noise was
Ally, was that the classic trick where they try to make it sound like they are going to give you more interesting work and get more involved in the processes and all they end up doing is throwing more work at you?
yeah it seems to be the case. i mean, i don’t want more interesting work, i’m happy with what i’m doing theoretically, i just want to get paid for it. i’ll gladly take on their stupid psuedo promotion as well, but not if they’re going to keep paying me sub-par wages compared to other people here, and if they’re not going to commission me on the shit i’m doing. :(
i am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bored right now btw
guys, seriously, ghost rider this weekend?
YES OTM YES
dammit I am in atlanta this weekend ;_;
ally, exactly, they should compensate you accordingly if they’re going to make you take on supervisory role! you shouldn’t have to be fighting with hr just to get a paycheck, wtf.
my thought is, first thing that needs to happen is the employer actually starts keeping some of their promises.
i’m kind of struggling with this myself, it’s like, we are short staffed and i’ve had to take on more work & more difficult than my job description really says but it’s university grade-level pay scale, there’s no freedom to give anyone a raise until yearly review time.
maybe you should just explain to bossface that if he wants you to do more shit the best way to go about it would be for you to quit right now and then come in tomorrow or sometime next week for a job interview with him for the open supervisory sales position at which time if he so desires he can make an offer of compensation appropriate to your role and responsibilities.
show me the fucking money should really not be such a hard concept for businesspeople to get their head around.
yeah that is basically the way it worked here, like you have to wait for your “yearly” reviews we are on a strict pay grade system we’re a non-profit etc etc.
e-mail from my mom:
Why are there crows? :)
UH
That is a tough question, because there is no good systematic approach to the genus at present. Generally, it is assumed that the species from a geographical area are more closely related to each other than to other lineages, but this is not necessarily correct. For example, while the Carrion/Collared/House Crow complex is certainly closely related to each other, the situation is not at all clear regarding the Australian/Melanesian species.
The Neogene fossil record of crows is rather dense in Europe, but the relationships among most prehistoric species is not clear. Jackdaw-, crow- and raven-sized forms seem to have existed since long ago and crows were regularly hunted by humans up to the Iron Age, documenting the evolution of the modern taxa. American crows are not as well-documented.
reading the craigslist apartment listings makes me want to shoot myself in the head sometimes. i wish i were rich.
tombot otm.. Ally does your nonprofit have a supervisory position open so that they could just move you to that job instead of going “oh no we can’t raise your pay until june”
they have a ton of positions open in my dept but none in a higher capacity than mine per se.
what a pain. maybe it’s a matter of.. if they really had an incentive to make something happen & fight the bureaucracy, they could, but they’re hoping they’ll be able to get you to do more work for the same pay because it’s too hard for them to fight bureacracy, amirite?
yup basically.
^^^^cannot wait
ok it is showing at gallery place and in georgetown, which would be preferable do you think? gallery place is more convenient ie there is a metro there but georgetown is nowhere near the mci center.
you guys seeing that on sunday?
that is what we’ve been trying to say
maybe? i’m brunching with someone on sunday, and then there is country night, but there’s probably room for ghost rider in between those things.
my sat afternoon is pretty damn open too, i think.
I won’t be here, but I would second gtown not being near MCI center and also I always gotta rep for CHADWICK’S.
i can’t get to g’town easily at all ;_;
but i’ve been meaning to go to levi’s store? :/
i kind of prefer saturday myself and also if i go to georgetown i can go to kiehl’s and waste all my money again so another point for gtown
also yeah haven’t been to chadwicks in ages!
i usually just walk to georgetown
those burgers are so awesome
also the option of a fries/onion rings side mix? THE JAM.
