Quote:It's possible the attendant accidentally authorized $20 to the wrong pump. Or someone swiped their card and didn't cancel out for some reason. Regardless, someone else paid for that gas and was not happy about it. I would have walked inside and asked.
I would have said they mistakenly put money on the pump, but I really wanted beer,
Today I was paid, I set a date for the official purchase of my apartment and right now I have a single malt. Today was a good day.
Quote:I've had a groin pull, and that's no groin pull if it radiates up into the abdomen.
Quote:Were you engaged in physical activity that would cause it? If it just appeared for no reason then I would get it checked out.
Quote:That sounds like a hernia.
Mild abdominal strain. All good now.
I get to go to another meeting in 15 minutes...for a whole 2 hours. Man I hope they don't cut it short.
People that cut meetings short just don't understand the emotional let down that occurs when that happens. Nor do they take account all of the massive productivity that takes place in a meeting.
I like the meetings we have where we discuss what we're going to discuss at our next meeting...those are fun.
You guys meet me at 2 for the pre-pre meeting where we'll dialogue the agenda for the 3pm pre-meeting to qualitize and value engineer the 4 o'clock meeting before tonight's board meeting.
We must work together...there's no other way you would know that.

Quote:True story.
At my old job, I had an email chain saved for years. It was a proposal by a lower level supervisor that in order to prepare for the Plan Of the Day meeting, that Engineering should have a planning meeting prior to the Site wide meeting. He was informed that there already was such a meeting as the Engineering Plan of the Day meeting was made just for this purpose. He responded back within four minutes with "well then we should have a Plan of the Plan meeting". He named them PoP meetings.
I got invites to PoP meetings for the next 10 years.
Apparently, a "plan of the plan" meeting made sense to those people...
I don't miss those days at all. Although the meetings with food and beer were always pretty good...

So you had a daily meeting to plan what everyone was going to do for the day?
Quote:So you had a daily meeting to plan what everyone was going to do for the day?
No, it was pretty much a meeting to plan for the meeting to plan for the meeting to plan what everyone was going to do for the day. The problem is, the final meeting happens at the end of the day.

Well, it was that way before the internet too, although it does seem that each generation of teenagers gets even more disrespectful and bolder then the previous generation.

Other than the fact that the day just started, I'll agree.
Well, I've been at it since 6:30...So I only have 7 hours to go.
