Boobs and PBR
January 21, 2009Just a note: I love PBR.
And boobs. And tall leggy chicks. And shorter curvier chicks. And collarbones. And days where I don’t have to deal with BOAC.
I had a meeting with BOAC yesterday and I was explaining a need to ask employees why they leave our company so that we can attempt to fix employee morale and turnover rates, which were 53% last year. (We all know what they are, but this give us reasonable data, not just instinct). Of course we need this data by geographical unit, not just the entire company. BOAC said, and I quote: “I just feel like we are doing damage by trying to pull the company apart with all of your “measurements”. We need to keep the company whole, so people all do things the same”.
I tasted blood in my mouth. Swallowed hard and replied: “I don’t know what to say other than I don’t intend to cast unfavorable light upon any one division Director, but a problem in Milwaukee is not the same problem in Madison, La Crosse, or Eau Claire. By failing to pull apart the different units for statistical analysis we will only muddy the waters further, and therefore bury the problem. I don’t see your connection.”
Crickets. I think I heard the HR manager chuckle a little.
The moral? 80/20 analytics and logical thinking always outwits sheer stupidity.
Obama is the fucking man. Day one and he is already laying it down. Love it!
Did I mention I loved red toenail polish? And a great smile? And a vigorous appetite for making sweet love?
Off to “The Cities” for a two day business trip. Hope to catch a Wild game….just for Steve.
KLM Out!

Hey DB, what the hell is going on with the pound? I saw the dollar is the highest it has been against the pound in 7 years?

I think you should start a “Clutterbuck” cheer.
If I ever have to cheer against him, I believe I’ll go with the old standby, “Clutterbuck takes it up the ass, doo-dah, doo-dah.”
On your collarbones thing….I recently realized how much of a turn-on the collarbone is myself. I have no idea how it took 36 years to realize that. Probably because I always went right for the boobs, instead of taking the scenic route.

I love boobs too, but I swear it doesn’t make me a lesbian. Just odd, maybe.
*note to self: no photos of self in blog showing collarbone

Yeah Luna, Kona’s in Wisconsin….he hasn’t seen a bare collarbone (that he wasn’t related to) since August.

Technically I have, but only on fat dudes sans shirts at a Packer game.

I wasn’t aware that fat dudes still had visible collarbones.
I’m right there with ya on Obama! He’s not wasting any time, is he? :o)

Kona, I said “that you weren’t related to”.
