AG totally met Atrios tonight, thanks to Brandeis!
He's super nice and it was a lot of fun.
You can be jealous of that and that I got a webcam at work to play with. I have become the official blogger and superuser of the organization.
Yep, swimming pools and movie stars!

you should check out skype. it's free video calls skype to skype, and it's the main way I stay in touch with the office in atlanta. face to face conversations from states away! for free. very cool.
ReplyDeleteI heard that Atrios stands seven feet tall if he's an inch, and lightning shoots out of his eyes.
ReplyDeleteDammit.
ReplyDeleteI remember the whole having a job thing. You feel valued, and people sometimes buy you lunch at the indian buffet. Sometimes people yell at you, but other times you do something great and they give you a parking space.
One time there was this customer who was totally mean to my CSR and I told him to take his business ELSEWHERE. My boss was mad, but I stood my ground and said we don't need that crap no matter how much revenue they represent. We agreed to disagree on that if I promised not to fire any more customers.
Jobs can be pretty cool
Now I read blogs. I don't put on trousers, sometimes for days at a time. I drink coffee in the morning, good earth ice tea in the afternoon and scotch whiskey in the evenings. I listen to NPR or music until 2:30 when PTI comes on. I like Tony Kornheiser. He has a job...
mikey
I still haz a job, mikey.
ReplyDeleteIf it was fun, they wouldn't call it work.

I don't have a job either,mikey.
ReplyDeleteI have a business.
I'd rather have a job. But until then, occasionally I can do some work that someone will pay me for.
But occasionally they don't. I've got a fair amount of money tied up in deadbeat clients. Want to come up here and convince them that it is in their best interest to settle up?
I'd LOVE to, but I'm wondering if the whole lack of trousers thing might reduce my effectiveness...
ReplyDeleteI believe a large collection agent without pants is SCARIER than one wearing them.
ReplyDeleteMakes him seem... eager... to go that extra mile. as soon as possible.
"Look at me. Don't look down there, look at ME. I'm going to explain your situation very clearly. Look down there again, asshole. Go on. Look down there again."
ReplyDeleteYeah, I can see how it might be an effective approach...
