Where in the World is Bob Saget?

[meyeet]

OT: I miss SpectroMagic!!

 

[JenniferS]

No, he's still here (PeterAlt).

Peter got mad? That's unusual for him.
He takes a lot of abuse. Especially over those "monorail footers".

Someone posted asking if anyone knew about a pile of dirt near EPCOT and the sarcastic responses started rolling in. Some were brilliant, to be honest. OP got mad. Threatened to leave. Not sure if he did.

I read them too some were comically brilliant. I think we've all at times asked things and the humor wins.

It does crack me up when members have so much to say to others yet can't take it in return. A small portion have to be coddled and treated with White Mickey Gloves and if that doesn't happen they are so fragile that they have to leave or 'ignore' members. I've had plenty of members on this forum and others say something stupid and most members are adult enough to move on others not so much. Yet they are entertaining with their convictions. I am always impressed with the general lack of maturity in similar situations that persist in embracing petty slights. So much fun.

Great for giggles though.

So continuing the accents discussion, why do some singers have such strong accents (Irish, Australian, Southern) but when they sing there is no hint of it?

That's a good question. Some singers' singing and speaking voices are amazingly different. John Fogerty for one.

Just the difference between when you sing and when you speak. Even Americans sing differently than they speak. The vowels are formed differently. You would sound ridiculous talking and forming vowels like how you sing. Some do choose to emphasize their accents. Julie Andrews, for instance, maintained a strong British accent while singing. Most, however, choose to drop it.

So, the owner came into the office on Tuesday night (my day off) and G. got to talking with him.

Pumped up what a good job we had done selling out so quickly, that hopefully Phase II can open and sell out quickly so that we can move to the next big site (let's call it Apple, for now).

Oh yeah, he says, Jennifer and I have earned Apple. We blew this site out, and we can blow Apple out too. We've EARNED Apple, he said at least a dozen times!

I already know we are not getting Apple. Blowing out one site and earning a truckload of money pretty much guarantees that the next big site goes to someone else. DUH!

Anyway, the Boss (Sales & Marketing Manager) asked me to figure out how much money G. made on this site.

Get this:
He didn't type a single deal.
Didn't get a single one signed.
Did zero brick selections or amendments.
Left early more often than not.
Did not go to H.O. even once.
Did not present a single deal.
Did not negotiate a single deal.
Did not deal with any of the guff from the Builders.
Would not return phone calls.
Could not return emails.

He basically worked as my "Support Staff", as he has in the past. A position which pays $150/day.

Instead, as my full-fledged partner, he earned $2200/day worked. And he thinks we've EARNED Apple. Geesh!

 

[JenniferS]

Sooooo ... did we pick a theme?

Whatever happened to our rapper names?

This is who I pictured as G when you described above.

Except G is Scottish, fair-skinned, and 75 years old.

Bit of a hustler though, 'cause I'm pretty sure he has an under the table deal with a Mortgage Broker that has mot been designated by HO.

G. Is the founder of Rent A Swag?!

 

[JenniferS]

Loud Formal.
Wonder if Son #2 is considering this look for Prom next week.

$2200 a DAY?


Can I have his job? I'd be out of this abusive and toxic relationship/housing situation and on to a great big beautiful tomorrow in no time flat where people don't throw coffee tables at me.

 

[meyeet]

s..l....o......w d..a....y

you all go on a picnic and leave me here at work?

 

[JenniferS]

Funny thing about Prom.
Son #2 is taking the same girl that Son #1 took last year.

Probably because of Loud Formal.

That's what it worked out to.

Now we will be off for a few months.

(Well, I will be. G. is off permanently, although he doesn't know it yet.)

 

[PUSH]

I have an interview tomorrow morning!
