Steff

A spokeperson for the family said on CNN that they were there up until 10 minutes previous and let in about 30 minutes after. I can't imagine that anyone knew the exact moment she was going to die...

I'm getting it as soon as Howard's contract ends.

QUOTE(dmbjeff @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 07:59 AM) Hey Steff, if you still have the 4 lowers I would be quite interested. Drop me a line at [email protected] thanks. I wont know until tomorrow morning but if the boss doesn't use them there are only 2 left now as 2 were requested yesterday.

Sun, sprinkle, rain, hail.. all in a matter of 45 minutes. It was crazy..

QUOTE(T R U @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 07:04 PM) Dude LAY OFF the Paris comments... you find some way to haunt me in every thread like this with a Paris reference What can I say other than if the shoe fits..

Yikes.. hope they save some for next week.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 02:47 PM) Amen to that. I don't even think Wimpy was that great of a color guy, but he had great chemistry with Hawk. I miss those two together. Which is ironic because Hawk hated his guts.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 01:14 PM) I have seen much worse on that show, she doesn't even crack the top 10. I've seen worse at the grocery store. She doesn't crack the top 50 I've encountered just this week.

QUOTE(T R U @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 12:40 PM) Same here, Im gonna look to see if I can find a picture from the show to see how different it is... but ive never been a fan of her Her and Paris are neck and neck in the brain department race..

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 12:06 PM) Be like on National Lampoons Christmas Vacation... Chevy Chase saying to the people going into the conference room... "Hi, how are you? Kiss my ass, Kiss his ass" and so on.... That would be hysterical..

QUOTE(T R U @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 12:04 PM) what? Youve never seen Half Baked? No. Sorry I missed the joke.

QUOTE(T R U @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 12:02 PM) I would walk into the work place and go.. f*** you... f*** you... f*** you... your cool... and f*** you... im out Amazing enough.. I thought to myself.. what would TRU do.. and this is exactly what came to my mind.. :banghead

"Steff with the Less Fattening Centres." Eh.. I guess that's better than "Steff with the More Fattening Centres".. sigh...

Avez-Vous Un Steff? Good grief.. this day just keeps getting better and better.. :headshake

QUOTE(TheDybber @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 11:42 AM) Can you ask to get a piece of this deal? Or be an executive so you can? Not really.. the work is part of my job. If I was to be compensated it would be from the buyers.

QUOTE(TheDybber @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 11:19 AM) PS. Just remember, if for some reason a company had to lay you off or fire you, you usually don't get much notice. There is no more loyalty in business. Saying that, do what YOU are comfortable with. I totally agree with you guys that this is the way it is most of the time.. the situation here is this.. they are trying to sell off one of the divisions.. the sale is going to make 11 executives and 35+ agents millionaires x3... they need me to finish the project or they don't get the dilligence done. As well I am one of the "contacts" in the deal - not that I'll be cashing any million $$ checks :headshake I just know that if they were to fire me or lay me off at this point the deal would be set back by a year at the least and they are not about to let that happen. Greedy bastards..

I think I'm just going to give him a heads up that there's some personal stuff going on (rather than going to the HR department who is pretty much a joke around here) that may cause me to miss some unexpected time and not mention resigning. I feel that's the best way to cover all my bases at this point. Thanks for the advice guys.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 08:43 AM) I know a lot people who tried to do the 'right thing' and not burn a bridge by giving as much as a 3 or 4 weeks notice. Nowadays, when you do that some companies will let you go right on the spot. That sux because in many cases the person was still counting on those 3 or 4 weeks of pay. Suddenly they have a 5-6 week period without income. Personally, I wouldn't give more than a 1 week notice and I'd be prepared for them to bounce me on the spot. In doing that they would put themselves in a very bad spot. I understand whay you're saying, but in this instance I have the upper hand with projects in progress.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 08:27 AM) Steff, I know you want to spend more time posting on this board, but quitting your job is not the way to go... LOL... Mike suggested I become a BMac groupie for my new job.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 08:23 AM) After reading through this thread, I believe that you feel fairly secure in your professional environment. In other words, you have a good professional relationship and are in good standing with the boss and company. If this is the case, I think you would come out of this looking like a consumate professional that has no malice and the best interests of the company at heart. One little suggestion though .... I would change "I may have to resign" to "I may be forced to resign" as that would imply that it is something personal, but beyond your control. Just a thought. I'm extremely lucky here.. leaving - if that ends up happening - will be devistating. They love me.. I do anything and everything for my boss and the executives whenever they need anything.. work insane hours, weekends, etc... and while in the end it may not matter and they say eff you.. I'm banking on knowing my boss - and the companies habits (they tend to try to keep people like mad when they contemplate leaving.. and for the record this is NOT about $$ and I would make that crystal clear) and that they would not make a rash decision and fire me. But like I said.. I'm going to think about it for the day. Thanks Yas..

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 08:00 AM) I wouldn't tell him you are thinking about it. What if you change your mind? You will have put doubt in their ability to count on you...maybe. Agree.. it's a gamble. I wont make a decision to do anything until the end of the day.. so I have some time to think about it. Just wanted to get your guys opinion. Thanks.
