"We Will Rock You" is blaring out of the marketing director's office. Preparing for a big sales force conference.

Next, I predict, "Eye of the Tiger."

i predicted fat bottomed girls

Patrick Bateman: Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke.

The same thing just happened to me, but I was at a bar and drunk and they were playing Steve Miller songs.

jesus fucking christ this effing problem set

i wouldn't feel so bad about consecutive 13 hour days if i had a couple of high lifes here with me. what would they hurt? i have spell check on this fucking thing.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 22:47 (seventeen years ago) link

they would hurt nothing, kevin. if there's one thing i learned at my old job it's that i was BETTER at it when i was a little drunk (which happened exactly once when i had beers with lunch)

― river wolf, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 22:49 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, i miss the public sector. ;_;

more to the point, i miss being the boss.

i remember going to the loan closing with US Bank and having them get kind of weirded out when our balance sheet showed we had over $30,000 listed under "booze". in hindsight jeremy probably should have named that something else. "entertainment" or "refreshments" or whatever.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 22:53 (seventeen years ago) link

hahaha

― river wolf, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 22:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd love a beer right now, but I'm totally not better at this job when I'm drunk. I tried it last week, after several cups of wine at a co-worker's going-away to-do, and all I can say is that detail-oriented work and giddy drunkenness do not mix.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 22:59 (seventeen years ago) link

crap what am i thinking?? dice-k is tomorrow. :/

"karaoke wedding" was a sham, there wasn't any karaoke in it at all!!

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 23:08 (seventeen years ago) link

dear turbotax,

oh my fucking god any particular reason why you put me into an endless loop of confirming my bank account during the closing "send my return" process just now?

sincerely and go fuck yourself,
ally

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 10 April 2007 23:15 (seventeen years ago) link

hey, don't badmouth turbotax. without them i wouldn't have been able to live beyond my means for a week in new york. my kidneys and liver may learn to hate it but don't you say anything bad.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 23:19 (seventeen years ago) link

uh dear district of columbia,

i was just told i was not legally entitled to file electronically due to some weird bullshit nonsense law you have made up. so, i did not do so. please to give me address this is supposed to go to instead of informing me that i should not mail something already filed?!?! what in the holy fuck. it wasn't filed, it says so on my internet computer screen. help?

again, turbotax, go fuck yourself,
ally

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 10 April 2007 23:21 (seventeen years ago) link

i can do my taxes myself on paper, i'm just being really lazy. and getting completely screwed over and frustrated because of it.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 10 April 2007 23:21 (seventeen years ago) link

fuck this, i'm not making any sense anymore, i'm going home.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 23:25 (seventeen years ago) link

dear beer,

thanks for helping me out you are a true friend - i was totally all "oh god where do i eat where do i eat i need to eat cuz i haven't eaten since yesterday but food seems disgusting right now" for like AN HOUR AND A HALF as i drove and walked around silver spring then wheaton then DC and then i eventually decided i didn't want any food at all, just some of you, although i know that isn't healthy. so now that i've had some of you i totally want PIZZA and that's what i'm going to order and then eat. thank you for your practical and useful functionality.

love,

ZR

no seriously turbotax can go fuck itself, I just got stuck in another completely different loop of doom and am having to file ALL THREE returns by mail. I look forward to receiving my refunds from VA and the Treasury sometime in late June.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Wednesday, 11 April 2007 00:21 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah that's around when i should be getting my refund from DC where i paid $578 despite not living there ever, actually

high fives

I'm glad that bot cleared up his non-schef identity b/c he was the one with whom i commiserated when i couldn't figure out my fucking dc taxes. Whatever you told me to do, tombot, it worked, b/c i ended up only owing dc fitty bucks or something.

note that i have not yet done our taxes. at least this year i only have to file two W-2 in one non-state.

― quincie, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 00:56 (seventeen years ago) link

turbotax suxx--taxcut is much better. except that you can hack turbotax to give you more than one state for free

― mookieproof, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 01:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Fender Blender pedal is so fucking awesome, yet none of customers ever buy one. This makes me sad. On the positive side, this means I get to play around with it whenever I get bored.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 03:51 (seventeen years ago) link

so does ally get on the computer and post and then get off and tom gets on and replies? or do they have their own computers? and if so, does tom go over to ally and be all "heh heh, look what I said on ILX" or is it just a secret surprise?

I am not trying to be a dick, I just wonder these things.

― jessie monster, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 03:55 (seventeen years ago) link

(i know i'm posting this as tom right now, i'm doing it because it's funnier this way)

generally what happens is, i post before going to bed, then go to wash my face and brush my teeth. while i'm in bathroom, he will come in and accidentally post as me on a nearly nightly basis. i am getting him back for it right now, i reckon.

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 03:58 (seventeen years ago) link

and yes, sometimes he does come over and be like "look at what is on ilx" and that usually gets a response that resembles this: o.O

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 03:58 (seventeen years ago) link

well it's good to know the cookies are holding on that long these days.

― jessie monster, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 03:59 (seventeen years ago) link

good to know something is

― jessie monster, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 04:02 (seventeen years ago) link

yo John re: FB, i am srsly interested, how would you describe it? i'm playing w/a frantone sweet right now which i am very into but i'm also interested in some "different" fuzz to throw in as warranted. it's sorta an octavey pedal too, right?
