“I “got” the message, and he’ll be getting his quote. I admired the guy. His quiet self-confidence and sly smile well communicated his message: “My corporation’s dick is waaaaayyyyyy bigger than yours”.”
And this is precisely the kind of bullsh*t that turns me off about the corporate world. I hate the d*ck swinging crap.
Can we just get the job done, can people just be straight forward and friendly and not insecure asses that have to project how much power they have? ACK. I just hate the corporate world!!
does anyone know why tomatos are so expensive? i try to eat a whole tomato at least every other day but ive noticed that tomato prices have sky rocketed!! and im not buying fancy pants tomatos either.. just plain ones.. i usually like the ginormous tomatos (beefsteak ones?) is there a difference? pesticides and stuff like that doesnt bother me, im more concerned about the price.. maybe it’s just the supermarket i go to? (associated on 5th ave in upper park slope)? last week i was nearly in tears when she rang up my tomato and it was almost 4 dollars, literally becoming the most expensive part of my meal!
My computer broke down before. Bxgrl, did you put a pox on it 🙂 ?
I was at the annual “big trade show” for my industry in San Diego all last week. I love trade shows: you meet your old friends and associates, hear the latest industry gossip, etc.
I had a memorable experience there. I work for one of the largest corporations in Japan, indeed the world. We are in the “Fortune 50” for sure. So, when someone asks us for a price quote for one of our components, it is no small matter. We usually ask them to supply detailed information on their volume forecast, and the application.
Weeeellllll, a fellow from Google visited our booth. He indicated that he was interested in one of our components. When I asked him for the forecast, he looked at me, smiled, and said “A lot”. When I asked him about the application, he again smiled and said “You don’t need to know”.
I “got” the message, and he’ll be getting his quote. I admired the guy. His quiet self-confidence and sly smile well communicated his message: “My corporation’s dick is waaaaayyyyyy bigger than yours”.
I jumped in some holy water rain puddles outside this radom church and feel much better.
Where I work, so many people take Good Friday off – not for religious observance either – that the whole company practically shuts down. I’m reassigned to a branch office in Sheepshead Bay.
CH;
I take it you don’t play poker?
cobble, have a drink.

Legion, that’s about the ugliest animal on earth.

I often said those very same words to my freshman year college roomate on Saturday mornings! He liked to live dangerously.
“I have no idea why the stock market is closed on Good friday.”
Cause Jesus died for their sins.
