but I just felt like I didn’t really have anything to share.
I golfed on Wednesday and shot a 65. I had a chance for a birdie on the final hole but I missed it and ended up 3 putting to get a bogey.
While I was out on the golf course one of the guys was telling stories about how he gets told that he can’t say certain things on conference calls. He’s the type to just tell you how it is in very plain English and so he comes off as not being as corporate or stuffy professional as he should. Regardless, he was telling a story about how a certain product wasn’t going to be ready at the end of the quarter like the customer had requested and it was his job to call the customer and tell them the news. His response, “If I call them up and tell them that they’re going to f***ing shit pink kangaroos.” He immediately gets a text message from his boss that says “You can’t say that on a conference call.”
Anyhow, it turns out that the same product wasn’t ready by the end of the next quarter either and it was his job again to call them and tell them the news again. He says, “If I call them up and tell them that they’re going to be defecating pink marsupials.” He said you could immediately hear the people on the conference calls laughing and people hitting their phones for the mute button but the best part of it was that the Senior VP of operations was in the same room with him and right as he said “defecating pink marsupials” the VP’s coffee went out his nose and all over his PDA and the VP says “You can’t say shit like that.”
The girls have a school carnival tonight and I’m less than enthused about it because its just an excuse for the kids to run apeshit all over school grounds and get hopped up on sugar and be way hyper. However, I’m putting on my good daddy happy face and going because I can’t leave the SU with 4 kids (the two crumbsnatchers, wild man, and Juan T.) to look after and besides, there’s going to be pizza there. I’ll take the crackberry with me and surf the net while making sure the kids don’t hurt themselves or someone else.
P.S. If anyone is counting its been since Sunday night since I’ve touched the x-box or ps2. I played a couple of games of pool on the computer but that was only for like 15 minutes.
