Or could be good enough to post this, go through 5 new hires, 1 meeting, 1 resending offer, 3 job repost, and 1 security issue since I got here.

So what have you done today?

Want to talk about it? How about I pick you up in my van, I got candy and a puppy?

LOL, you post here all day every day, except of course weekends and federal holidays, when are we supposed to believe you actually work?

Got all my promotions, run the 401k program for my office, hire over 100 people last year, etc... Seems I'm doing just fine.

Oh don't worry, you didn't let me down... I wasn't expecting much in the first place.

Get ready, I heard he is prepping his pick up truck and some chains,...

Anyone that is confused about the above post, see this link

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_James_Byrd,_Jr.

James Byrd Jr. was chained behind a truck and drug to death.

Shortly after my wife and I moved to Jasper, we drove down the road where James Byrd died. Its an eerie road that gave me a sense of uneasiness. Its a place I did not want to be.

When and if you want to meet new neighbors in Texas, a Barbeque and beer is all that is needed.

And I know how to cook.

The grumpy neighbor in the OP is just jealous that my pit is bigger then his sissy pit. This thread is not about loud music, or loud kids, its about pit envy.

OP, its ok to be jealous.

so many fvcken kids on this thread treating the Op like he lives in a slum.

just talk to the damn neighbor and act like your best self.

Wallstreet journal reported a number of years ago that Americans have far fewer friends. If you're going to live there, might as well make the best of it.

tension is necessary for growth. can't have a utopian society everywhere we go, can we?

It sure does, how does some pork ribs, sausage and boudain sound. The small chunks of meat in the top right hand corner are deer backstrap. That is a pork loin wrapped in the foil.

My question is mostly unrelated to your post, but I'm seriously asking, do people in your neighborhood really watch Fox News?

Do they know it's not actual news? Can you describe what these people are like? Do they ever talk about beliefs and opinions that are similar to what you'd see on Fox News? I don't think I've ever met anyone who watches Fox News, granted I don't meet a lot of people in general. But I live in NYC where people are generally educated. The only time I watch Fox News is when it's made fun of of The Daily Show or Colbert Report.

How is a promotion "yours" before you've gotten it?


I already got them and at the top grade of my scale. My position tops out at a 12 and I started as a 7. Had to take a pay cut when I started after I left the drug business.

What the hell is going on in here?

Its called "grill envy" or "pit envy".

Its when your cooking on your sissy gas grill, and look over at your neighbors pit on a trailer that is able to cook for 100+ people.

I think somebody is missing something here... did you even read the whole thread before replying??

as for OP 7/10 - better than average
