DIS Dads DDC XV - We put the "FUN" in dysfunctional! Christopher's thread...

[DisneyFed]

I'm finding the discussions about the childish behavior of coworkers very interesting. Five years ago, when we started expanding the team here we had to go out and hire a lot of 'kids' fresh from college. We now have a workforce in the office, most of whom are young enough to be my kids. For the most part they are good, hard working professionals, but every once in a while you get a flashback to what I'll call a "Ferris Bueller" moment. As in, why do I have to have someone check my stuff before it goes out. It's time for me to challenge authority around here. And this from someone with around 5-6 years under their belt. I think the culture of 'give them a trophy for just showing up' weighs heavily here. I want to get one of those spanking paddles they used in Animal House for just such occasions. But i'd imagine there's a regulation against that sort of thing.

It's like having an argument with your wife then realizing she's the only one who "gives you some"...

BWAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Afternoon guys,

It is absolutely gorgeous down here. High 70's, no clouds and a slight breeze.

On the news right now, they are searching for an escaped prisoner from a work release program. Rode off on a bike. He is in handcuffs and shackles so I don't like his chances. Must be an interesting experiment riding a bike in handcuffs and shackles.

75 here...nice!!! Heard about the prisoner escape...guessing he was unsecured

Afternoon starting out rough...*AFTER* catching a bunch of fraud on my Check Card, I got a call to pick up DS with a 102 degree fever!!!

In regard to the fraud, the three $200.00 purchases to the same Coral Gables, FL Walgreens was a clue

Much easier to fix these things now than 15 years ago though.

Grrrr... this is one of those battles that DW and I have. I am an "A" person while she is a "B" person. We've come to the agreement that whoever changes the roll gets to decide the direction. Guess who changes it the most

Ugh, I hate stuff like that, give 'em hell! Also hope DS feels better soon. Audrey gets them so often I think they know her at the clinic by name

 

[trennr]

I'm an A guy myself.


Hi nemesis!

hmmm...may have to switch my vote to B now.

Howdy... Nemisis...if you ever find you TP installed wrong...just know...I did that. (maniacal laugh)

Gentlemen...at my work place today we are having a debate of the utmost importance...I would like you to vote...

Option A (over the Top)

Option B (off the Back)

I can state for the record that I have field-tested both of these options, and found no discernable difference in performance.

Found out when I got married that "A" is the correct way, however.

Just received an email from Disney about a new site they launched... Disney Baby

"Visit our new site created for parents of infants - or as we like to call them "little characters." You'll find inspired ideas like capturing baby's first smile, throwing an unforgettable birthday party and more fun tips"

 

[AirGoofy]

If I could figure out how to swing it I would move down there. Never understood why the "snowbirds" did their thing every year, but once I passed 45 I saw the light.

I'm with you. We don't have the mountain snow drop offs like you do in Eastern Ky, but we still have homes on one lane gravel roads. Hard for the school bus to get there.

Option A (over the Top)

Over the top should be only option.

Interesting Don't have a PM for this... is this approved?

You can add. I'll pm you specific dates, but I think it is Mar 30 to 4/4?

and

"Get off my lawn!!" j/k

While Captain Jack Sparrow may make a more fitting human mascot for this group, I'll vote Clint Eastwood as well. I liked Gran Turino. I have seen all his westerns as well.

So, DDC Convention, 2013 - WDW, 2014 - Cruise and 2015 - DLR?

Please just put one, not DL in the summer so I can go one year.

I want to get one of those spanking paddles they used in Animal House for just such occasions.:

Barry's wife gets the cast iron skillet after him. My wife prefers taking the paddle to me. Or, perhaps I've shared to much ......

I don't see how there's even a debate.

Option A

A is the correct answer.

If anyone answers B, the terrorists win.

While I'm more of an "A" person myself, I will not "refuse to use" if a hanging B is my only option.

Follow up question: Crumple or Fold?

Imagine what level of ticked off you'd be if the guy spent $600 a Bass Pro Shop on your card!

Hope G-man is feeling better soon.

Isn't it amazing that we learn that we've been doing everything wrong just by saying "I do". Sure is quicker than 4 years of college, but much more expensive.

Holy peanut butter!! Missed an entire thread! And Just checking in on page 60. I'm Slackin' big time.

Afternoon guys,

It is absolutely gorgeous down here. High 70's, no clouds and a slight breeze. Come on down and I will break out the grill. Actually all this talk of burgers, I think dinner tonight will be 5 guys. Sorry Stopher but I love those burgers much better than IaO.

Got a confirmation email from the TA on the Roatan trip. Looks like it is all set up. No eating bugs (or Ginger and Mary Ann). Can't wait for that little trip.

On the news right now, they are searching for an escaped prisoner from a work release program. Rode off on a bike. He is in handcuffs and shackles so I don't like his chances. Must be an interesting experiment riding a bike in handcuffs and shackles.



You should not insult 9 YO little girls like that.

For the record, Mary Ann!

Grrrr... this is one of those battles that DW and I have. I am an "A" person while she is a "B" person. We've come to the agreement that whoever changes the roll gets to decide the direction. Guess who changes it the most

Thankfully DW is an A person as well, so we don't have that kind of battle in our house... though I will say, that our big battle is when you get to the end of the roll and use the last of the paper...

...do you take 5 seconds to think of someone else and put on a fresh new roll, or is it all about you and you leave it empty for the next person to deal with?


Me? I will take the 5 seconds and make sure the next person is ready to go. DW... no. She will leave the empty roll on the spindle and walk away.

That drives me crazy.
