no, if i were a US banker, i would have printed 50 million shares with a tripple A rating given by a friend, based on the forecast of the winnings of the entire pot worth 27 million. Then i would have sold those prior to the lottery day...
And the day after i would ave just said, no worries, i got 50 million more of those shares, hold on, these are pure gold... And i would have ran to the printer, and looked surprised when the printer calls the cops for having payed him with a bunch of shares from the initial batch...

Then i would have called the govmint to bail me out.

nah, that only happens when one says things like "liberal pinko commies" or "right wing neoconfused rednecks"...

Bankers are a free for all

Well since there is no rest for the weary, and the holidays are over it is back to work. Or at least back to the place where I go to try and make money. Since 2010 is the year of Rick I am going to get a few things settled there today. My boss is gonna love me

sounds like fun. do you mind my asking what you are going to settle? personally, i hate confrontation. which isn't to say that i won't do it, but by that time i am usually so pissed off that the outcome doesn't even matter to me.

Well lets see, First off, I want my 10%back. The excuse for the across the board was times are tough, we all need to tighten up. Yeah buddy if I get any tighter I am gonna pop. This reduction was enacted to get someone to leave the shop, someone who was on a set salary. Well it worked, the high dollar ripoff artist left a few months ago. Since then the boss has hired a cleaning crew (these are non productive people in my industry) and bought himself a new car. I want my 10%back. I don't mind the long hours, hell I don't know any other way, just pay me.
I don't like confrontation either, it usually does not end well, so I wait till I am calmed down before I open my mouth. Well today is good enough for that.
They realized a while ago, that if they can hear me then they are safe, it is when I am very quiet that I am pissed, I haven't said much at work for about a week. They know what is coming. I am also the top producer there so I am not worried about getting fired. (although Va law protects my boss and not me)

This was a nice weekend. From about 3 years ago. A bed and breakfast just on the Va. W.Va border. That place is awesome, all the stores (all 3 of them) close at 7pm and nothing is open on Sunday. The town is called Monterey.

Morning, guys! Hope you all are enjoying a benevolent beginning of 2010. Sorry I have been absent so much lately. I have been counting money. Not to be a heretic, but the new Ferrari 458 looks preeeetty sweet!

Morning men,

Damn, vacation's almost over....
Two weeks flew by, especially when you don't do all the things you were supposed to...
Good thing I did some wrenching...
Stijn, any idea when you could come over??? Still need to remove the fan and shroud and some small things underneath, but that's about it, I guess...
Let me know.

Now that is cold, Stijn is trying to catch up with you and you are going to ask him for help to stay ahead of him.
I like it.
