DIS Dads The DIS Dad's Club IX - The Fastest Moving Thread Around

[FreezinRafiki]

Morning guys.

Just a quick question, we are going to SeaWorld Orlando for a few days next week and I was wondering if anyone had any must do's?

Eat fish. It's awkward at first, especially with all of the living fish looking at you with judgement in their eyes. But then you realize who's at the top of the food chain, smile, take a bite and say "you're next, Flipper."

While my current milestone of 100 posts is nothing compared to many of you, it is pretty big for me. As mainly a lurker on the Dis, I have learned a lot from everyone, and had many laughs. Heck I even got a side job that I know I am going to love from being in the Dis and posting every so often.

I am happy to share so many beliefs, such as the importance of family, with so many gentleman that call the DisDads club home. It have been a pleasure reading along with every one in the club.

There have been so many tragedies in the past years and the support that each and every dad offers to each other, in the form of prayers and support for each other is so overwhelming. I know that there is a place that I can go where no matter what my opinion is each and everyone of you will listen and offer insights without attacking anyone. Having such a diverse group of dads and to be able to have this amount of understanding and support is amazing.

It is amazing to read and share in what everyone has to share and I feel blessed to have a place to go where everyone genuinely cares for each other. It is an honor to be apart of this group and I look forward to many more years of sharing the love of family and Disney with you.

Don: I forgot to add my interest in some decals. I'd be up for a few (5-10) haven't figured out exactly but I would lean toward the 10 number for me.

Nice job James! I'm proud to be a part of the DDC. From lurkers to rare posters to chatter boxes, the DDC is what we make. And we make it awesome.

I just keep a lemon with you. If any of those fish give you "the eye" just hold out the lemon. They'll know what you mean.

My cousin got married in an aquarium on the NC coast, and they had the reception in front of the main tank. Before the wedding I looked at at the back of the aquarium and saw a bunch of seafood trucks. I'm not sure if they were unloading or picking stuff up?

It's called OCD...

To a true OCDer, it should be referred to as CDO - the letters are arranged alphabetically, like they should be. (I have a little CDO-like behavior for some things.)


*EDIT* Oops, I see Rafiki beat me to that one!

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Only an hour or so?

Slacker... you need to be up to two or so at the very least!

I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work

Please make sure you put a cover sheet on your TPS reports.

Thought I'd share a picture of my desk. 2 computers, 3 screens and a phone. Plenty of ways to keep busy, both productively and not so productively. Left screen is customer accounts. Laptop screen is on e-mail/DISboards/various other websites all day. Right side screen is live quotes from Chicago Board of Trade.

Which gets updated faster, the DDC or the quotes from the Board of Trade?

Dude....that is so wrong on so many levels..

Great post, James!

And the most important site is right smack in the middle where it belongs.

Woohoo! Just noticed I am single digits for our vacation...

Jealous!

IT'S C D O! In alphabetical order, like it's supposed to be.

Just a quick question, we are going to SeaWorld Orlando for a few days next week and I was wondering if anyone had any must do's?

A big must for my family are the various “Clyde and Seamore” Sea Lion shows. They are absolutely hysterical (especially the one that the do in the evening where they satirize and parody all of the other shows and attractions in the park). I usually leave that theater with my sides just aching from laughing (and as “King Kiser” would say: “You never cut funny” ).

I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read that.

I think between stopher1, awdwfan and myself we probably have the financey stuff covered.

Nah, you're giving me too much credit. I may have gotten my degree in Ag Econ, but my auditing experience wasn't financial auditing (more inventory and Federal regulations) and all I do now is watch commodity markets and buy grain.

I do take care of all my financial records for my farming operation, but all I did was set up a spreadsheet template once and all I have to do now is plug in numbers and make sure they don't turn red.

A good web presence should handle most of it - oh, and the following:

1) Need a federal tax id # (easy enough)

2) Someone (or a group of people) to "own" the company. I'm an employee, not an owner. I suck at ownership.

3) IATA (International Air Transportation Association) membership ID (details here)

4) CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association) membership ID (details here)

5) some sort of web presence with a form generating system that will dump the user's info to a database to enable profiling of clients and to enable multiple associates (fancy, schmancy) to handle repeat clients if the original associate is unavailable.

6) As I'm already part of a web-based business (current job #3 for me), defining roles is key. We'd need someone to operate as the "heavy" some sort of head management role to handle specific client questions. We'd also need an expediter who would transfer specific quote requests as they come in to different associates. In our business we have 4 designers who take jobs in a round-robin process. Whatever comes in goes first to our manager who delegates the job to us after an initial meeting, then we handle the client contact and manage through to completion. We have a google spreadsheet that tracks all current jobs and maintains all past jobs incase something comes up and we need to support one of those clients. There would also need to be one very trusted person to handle the books (and distribution of commission) or a couple to handle this role.

You know, if people were serious about this.
