Fack. Are you in Chi-town for a bit? I'm back in Boston on break - grinding out my last take-home due tomorrow night. I'll be in CO from the 22nd through the 3rd though...

So Truth, I await the details with baited breath.

WTF are you doing eating bait?

No real drama, just a good deciscion and mature conversation with my boss, followed by a supportive conversation with my father. Tricky part is that they are one and the same.

I'm not moving.

I have no clue what I am going to do.

It's snowing somewhere.

That's all I got.

Ha! Your artful dodges of the "family business" questions now make sense...

So you told your dad that he didn't have the balls to fire you?! That is ballsy, to say the least...I guess that means there was no naked christmas party on acid.

Go git sum!

**phUnk** · 12-12-2004, 11:05 PM

Huzzah!

**iceman** · 12-12-2004, 11:21 PM

I say kill the old bastard before he has a chance to change the will.

**CaddyDaddy77** · 12-13-2004, 12:08 AM

Best to you and yours.

Was a bit interested reading the post prior on your job status, and the damn near, "I'm out of here!"

Hope it works out for you, if it came to a point there was likely a reason to be moving on. I quit a family run a year ago, very hard to tell my Mom and Aunt, partners, that I had enough. But am much happier doing so.

/find your own way, good luck to you.

That's all I got.

That's all you need.

It's time to start having some fun.

**Big E** · 12-13-2004, 06:55 AM

Good luck, mang. Gotta be hard having that convo w/ dad when he's the boss too.

**mr_gyptian** · 12-13-2004, 09:02 AM

fuggh, that has to be hard as hell. I am in that situation (my uncle is the head honcho). not a conversation I'd like to have.

good luck.

my suggestion, go to Armitage and take a long hard look at some lincoln park MILFS.

**Tippster** · 12-13-2004, 10:22 AM

Excellent ...errr... NON-work, Mang. Enjoy your time off, and good luck finding that which will float yer boat.

**Woodsy** · 12-13-2004, 01:45 PM

hey mang, good luck wherever your endeavors take you, if that includes UT gives us a call......

**bad_roo** · 12-13-2004, 01:47 PM

Best of luck. You seem a pretty capable guy so you should be able to figure shit out.

**truth** · 12-13-2004, 01:51 PM

Life is cool sometimes, my Mom just sent me this:

Thought you could use this right now....don't let job decisions come between
family. There are lots of jobs but you only have one family. I love you,
Mom

THE MAYONNAISE JAR AND COFFEE
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar..and the coffee...

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes." The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, " I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things-your God, family, your children, your health, your friends,and your favorite passions-things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else-the small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal." Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand." One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend." Please share this with someone you care about.

I JUST DID.
