DIS Dads DDC XVII - Leap year edition

[tutter99]

So, the review went well. 2 of the Sr. Managers could not make it so that made me relax a bit.

So I can untie them now.......I mean, gee I wonder what kept them from making it?

 

[that's nice]

Interesting moves by my Bears. I think Brandon Marshall could work out great so long as he can stay out of jail.

Errrr.... he just was accused of punching a woman in a NYC nightclub.

Just finished talking to a coworker who got back from WDW on Sunday, I was pretty excited to hear his thoughts because he and his partner are big Disney fans. I've been to their house and they have display cases filled with vintage collectibles.

They had been going on a lot of cruises the last few years so it had been 6 or 7 years since their last visit. In a nutshell, he was pretty disappointed with the trip. They stayed at the Port Orleans and said the pool was disgusting, it seemed like they tried to cram everyone into one area of the resort, and they came back to their room at 5:00 one day to get ready for diner and mousekeeping was just getting to their room.

He said they really enjoyed Epcot and AK but said the monorail closures, the refurb walls, and ride breakdowns at MK just kind of killed the magic for them and on top of that he said it was way dirtier than previous visits and there seemed to be less staff cleaning up compared to other visits. One example he gave me was they saw somebody dropped a milkshake as they were about to go on POTC and after a 15 minute wait and the ride time, it was still laying there in the walkway when they got out.

He has already gotten a call from guest services who apologized and told him it is one of their slower weeks when they are getting ready for the busy periods during spring break. I don't know about you but I think I would be kind of ticked if the reason a company gave me for sub par service was basically we were getting the place ready for people who come after you.

I almost asked this guy a few months ago to transfer his booking over to me so I could get the commission, glad I didn't!

I appreciate the apprehension

I hate te 4 guys at a table and me sitting there across from them like a firing squad.

Or the nut house. The man has serious issues. Typical of the Dolphins. Trade for him and give away two second round picks, trade him away for two third round picks. Hopefully for the Bears is works out. Maybe he won't drop as many passes as he did here. The Phins are dropping further down on Peyton's list. Bitter, party of one.

See above. Forgot about the wife stabbing him.

Wednesday ownage.

Thanks!!!!
So if UCONN makes it to the second round, we placing a wager on the game?

What's the bet?

Did your new iPad arrive yet?

Nope. I guess I have super slow shipping. Fed Ex had it in Beijing last time I checked.

No raise though. I'm in sales so my raise comes from selling more

Anybody need adhesive or foams?

Congrats on review. Foam what?

Yea, happens to me all the time. If you got it, you got it.
.

Felt good all day.

Morning Dads!
Chefs was one of the best meals we had our last trip.."

Good to know. I'm looking forward to it now.

Just got back from run and saw your "sexy and I know it" moment. Now I'm ready to head out and see if I can get a wave of my own.

You can do it.

Is that you in the middle with your arm around Millard Fillmore (or whoever that is)?

Yes, me and Milly go way back... to 1994

Coincidently, I had my 6 month review today. Our annual performance reviews are in Sep, but they do a 6 month in the middle for some reason or another. I didn't even realize it was that time of year until I was called into the boss' office. It went something like this:

Boss: We need to do our 6 month performance review, do you have a few minutes to come into my office?

Me: Sure

Boss: You're doing a good job, I have no problems with the work you're doing, do you have any questions, comments or complaints about any co-workers or anything going on here.

My Internal Monologue: Well, I could complain all day long about you, but that probably isn't a good idea

What I actually said: Nope

Boss: Ok, thanks, can you send ____ in, please?

I'm still employed

Nice work.

I love internal monologue's

 

[Goofy + 3]

Thanks guys. I'm just extremely frustrated I'm having to deal with this stuff this soon. It was inevitable - just didn't want to have to think about it for a while.

Doctors have been slicing and dicing bits and pieces of me for this kind of stuff since I was a kid. As long as you have regular Dr visits and know what to look for, you'll do fine. But i agree, it's a bummer to have this to worry about. On the upside, I've got plenty of cool scars! (But no cool stories to go with them).

Fellow Bears fan here.. I don't like that move at all. He's a distraction and suspension just waiting to happen. I think the window for the Bears is closing rapidly if it's not closed already. We're the 3rd best team in the division. I don't know how we make the playoffs at all in the next few years.

 

[ClearScreen]

So far, we only have 7 owners in the Yahoo Fantasy Baseball League. We'd like at least 12.

If you played last season and want to play this year, please register ASAP. THe on-line draft is Monday, March 26th at 9:30pm EDT.

If you would like to join, please PM me immediately so I can invite you to the league.

It was a lot of fun last year and good for some trash-talking material.

Yeah, I took the free shipping. I got what I paid for. There has to be a joke about foam seals in there. When I can order some, I'll gladly send you an order.

Boss: Ok, thanks, can you send ____ in, please?

Isn't it sad when all we hope for is to remain employed. I envy all those smart enough and willing to work hard enough to own their own business.

[thheaton]

You can do it.

That's the video. You never know, I show up at one of these Dis Dad's conventions and there is booze, you may get to see a live version. Good thing smartphones with video camera weren't invented in my drinking days.

Well, I was sitting in the car. So, they only saw my pretty face.

He sounds like a real winner... I do a mid-year with my direct reports, but actually use it as a tool to talk through things going on with them, the department, etc. I find it's helpful almost all the time... Sounds like this guy's just going through the motions...
