What's Making You Happy Today?

[Russell Street]

Stop wearing hats.

 

[ter1413]

A client who I have known for years recently fell on some hard times and had his house foreclosed. He did what many people do in his situation, just ignore the problem while it ate at him. Foreclosure, to sheriff's sale, to complaint in ejectment. He was scheduled to finally be kicked out Jan. 27th. so he comes into my office yesterday with hat in hand. I put all my expertise to it and get a supersedes this afternoon at about 1PM. So he gets to stay in the house for at least another month or so. Hopefully longer, but at least the 27th date is not eating away at him.

TL;DR - When you get legal shit in the mail, don't ignore it. Talk to a lawyer right away.

 

[Arnathor]

You'll get nothing and like it.

Okay, we got a Ted Knight over here.
It's easy to grin / When your ship comes in / And you've got the stock market beat. / But the man worthwhile, / Is the man who can smile, / When his shorts are too tight in the seat.

 

[Arnathor]

I found my hat again. I lost out coming out the back door of my flat and some neighbour laid it up nicely for me outside. Except now I'm mortified to wear it since it has been outside for a day. The last time I lost this hat was at my club and weeks later, unbeknownst to me, I walked by the coat rack and saw it hanging there.

Lucky hat.

This happened to me yesterday! My hat is super lucky!

 

[Arnathor]

I'll be going to a hockey game tonight, $3 beer night, both make me happy, Hamilton Bulldogs vs Toronto Marlies, plus I'm going to visit my sister and see her bulldog, Mona

 

[Fwiffo]

Marlies? Did I just pass by the Marlies stadium?

I just finished a bottle of wine. Let's liquor up before I head further west. William's Landing.

 

[Arnathor]

You are a Torontoian?

 

[LelandJ]

My old tailor brought prices back down to normal, my last conversation with them and taking a few weeks off seems to have fixed the problem for the moment.

 

[Fwiffo]

You are a Torontoian?

I was born just a stone's throw from Yonge and Wellesley so I would stake claim to it yea.

 

[Fwiffo]

Cleaned up my parents' home so they can return at the end of the month from their snowbird holiday.

I am going to finish up errands at the flat. I have the limo waiting at 1700. Flight is at 2000. I picked my business class seat to Germany. Because Munich has a pony airport I get an extra Sunday to adjust to CET on the company's dime. Taking carry on only - hope my tumi bag can hold it. Have to take the best kit as my bosses in Canada have arranged for me to meet the top executive in my area - one below the board.

Weight loss is slowly working - need to pick up momentum.

Hey Fwiffo it's good that you have broken your vow of silence.

Have a great trip

 

[Fwiffo]

Cheers. I just bought a $25 piece of sea bass to indulge in before the airport. Why is it so expensive here?

 

[Thruth]

Why is everything so expensive here? Low Canadian dollar, GST, small market.....

 

[Arnathor]

I shovelled my sister's driveway, then both of my neighbours. I feel like a good person.

Good thing you are not in Boston or NYC, that good deed will kill you

 

[OfficePants]

Bunch of pussies.

 

[Thruth]

I ain't shovelin' shit. I'm probably going to stay in town at a hotel tonight, then I'll have it plowed tomorrow. It's a fucking mess out there now.

how much snow are you supposed to get?

 

[Thruth]

Ridiculous

 

[Leitmotif]

I agree. I told God to stop the snowing but he is not listening to me.

Did you offer some good rum?

 

[MFDoom]

the shitter on my floor has been getting a lot of traffic from tourists (other floorz). So I took advantage of some temporary discomfort to make sure than anyone who uses it for the rest of the day will regret it - or at least make haste to do their business and quit the premises quickly. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!;!!

 

[Fwiffo]

Mixed news. I was supposed to go to a dinner tonight with people at the workshop but I didn't get out of my meetings with one of the top executives until 1900. Dinner was 1800 and they left at 1730. By the time I got a cab to the city centre with traffic it was 1930. Anyway, I walked around and got Uber back to the hotel.

Stupid really.

The good news - I worked on a 2017 strategy slide deck and one of my slides is on the wall of the executive floor in Germany. I was pleasantly surprised.

Nice job

 

[MFDoom]

Flagged for brilliance.

I mean, once you consider the last time it snowed in the Carribean, it suddenly makes a ton of sense to keep teh rumz around. Snow-repellant

 

[MFDoom]

No no no, that would be the sacrificing chickens shtick, and you would arrive to the clubhouse with a bucket of KFC extra crispy

 

[Russell Street]

I agree. I told God to stop the snowing but he is not listening to me.

Silly, you have to ask. You're not the boss of Him now.

Oh, my little spin under the bridge was only embarrassing and caused no damage, so suck it black ice!

 

[MFDoom]

Did you have rum in the car?

 

[Russell Street]

Hah, the blizzard was a fizzle but all the weenies stayed home. I'm pulling a fwiffo being the only one in the office. It turns out it's not the job that I can't stand, just the people.

 

[MFDoom]

I'm glad I have many fewer colleagues and a picky boss.

Cheers mate. It's snowing here in Germany. Wettish snow so my hair's dishevelled. They salt and clear better here than in Atlanta though.

Some of the German women are hot. Some not so much. I was at a wine (not beer) hall last night and met a butch one who went on and on about meth, marijuana and heroine.

 

[Fwiffo]

Last meeting at 1700. Another 40 minutes and then I start getting ready to return. Trying to kill time here. Why is the y and z interchanged on German Keyboards?

Who was her heroine? Anne of Green Gables?

 

[Thruth]

I finally got the barn back into shape. After melting and evaporating 4-5 inches of ice that covered every inch of it as well as melting ice down to ground in and around the doors in the pastures.

took 6 hours last night to scrub it all down and get it ready for occupancy this morning.

Meet my new friend:

 

[Arnathor]

You have a barn?

I'm happy for tomorrow because I get to do breakfast with my boss at a swanky private club. I could potentially be bringing in $18,000 worth of photography for our studio which makes everyone happy.

What is that thing?

Did I spell it incorrectly? I successfully recovered from my mid morning dip again. But this time I used two glasses of sparkling.

 

[Thruth]

Indirectly fired diesel/kerosine/fuel oil heater. A "Herman Nelson" is the old school name. You blow heat through flexible ducting. 350,000'BTU's per minute. 42 gallons and runs for 12 hours.

[Arnathor]

I've fired an actual howitzer with the CF.

Hah, no bought it used. About the price of 2 Maftei bespoke (if the old man was charging the price if the women were in the shop)
