my Boss said he hopes my parachute doesnt open!!!
jazzjumper replied to linny's topic in The Bonfire
Unfortunately not all bosses get good boss training. Going to HR is an option, but I don't think a lawyer could help just at this moment. However, you've given him the power to upset you and make you sick to your stomach. You need to reclaim that back from him. I hear what you are saying, but the question is are you just venting or do you want a possible solution? Bottom line is to call anyone on crap like that the moment it comes out of their mouth, but do it respectfully. If you blindsided him, then apologize, but also mention that blindsiding you back is doing the same thing that has him so upset. You might also mention that if your chute doesn't open, simply breaking your legs would be lucky. What he is wishing upon you is death...is this supposed to motivate you to work better or not blindside him in the future? Challenging what someone says respectfully will either bring them back down to a civil level of discourse or send them completely over the edge. If you get fired because of that, then HR or a lawyer is quite a bit more appropriate. Bottom line is, do you need this job more than the boss needs you doing the job? If so, you are at a disadvantage. I would start looking for other options. No matter how good she looks, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit! -
The link worked for me. Been there, done that, going back in September. Nothing like getting shot at to make you feel alive. No matter how good she looks, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit!

Wow. Nothing about what Reagan Jr. wrote wows me. It's just an attempt to mitigate his father's legacy and swing votes to John Kerry. This election is about removing Bush, not about electing Kerry. That is why the left will lose. Of course, much of this is my opinion as well. No matter how good she looks, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit!

I had two cats live (brother and sister) to 16/17 years respectively. Cats can go from 12-20 years...so 13 isn't young. No matter how good she looks, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit!

Why -- because there is no possibility of disagreement without the mass media? Give me a break -- do you really think so little of other people? Me, for that matter? It is just possible that there are intelligent people out there who disagree with the RNC platform, and who agree with the DNC platform, at least enough to vote for Kerry over Bush. Wendy W. Sure there are enough intelligent people. It's not the intelligent people who sway an election. It's the sound-bite types who don't listen to both sides of the street...the media influences these types the most. Twice Bill Clinton was elected so it is perfectly feasible that Kerry could also be. However, Kerry is much further to the left, and has so little of the political savy that Clinton possesses. The reason Kerry isn't getting traction is because this election has become a referrendum on Bush, not a vote FOR Kerry. The majority of the media spins towards the left...but now that FOX News and talk radio have become such a force, the left is screaming bloody murder that there needs to be balance. What they mean is talk radio and Fox need to go away so they can have their monopoly back. One more thing...just because a person is intelligent, it doesn't mean the are necessarily correct. Even if they are correct, the electoral process could also provide some interesting twists. No matter how good she looks, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit!

Conservatives are losing? Really? Looked at the CBS/ABC poll numbers lately....LMFAO! Conservative tactic #1: When the opposing candidate is trying to implode as fast as he can, please step away from the blast radius. No matter how good she looks, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit!

Threw away? Hmmmm, I think rent as more of a throw away than a house payment. I move about every three years and am on my 4th house. So far, I haven't lost money on a sale yet. My ex wife did... If you sell for exactly what you purchased it for plus commission, you've basically rented. If it's more, than you made a little money (cause you have to live somewhere). Just my O No matter how good she looks, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit!

So, it's the speech's fault, not Dean's? Don't you mean Dean sabotaged himself with his little scream? Dean stepped on his air hose, and the media was just reporting the gaff (albeit over and over and over and ....) Dean is awesome, he's real, he's hilarious, and he's too short to be president. I wouldn't vote for him because of what his ideals are, but you gotta love a guy who is himself, regardless of what that self might be.

By the way, the Kerry aides screwed him... http://www.floridatoday.com/!NEWSROOM/localstoryN0729KERRYPHOTOFLAPS.htm 5th paragraph down. "...Furthermore, NASA spokesman Bill Johnson said the Kerry campaign asked that the pictures be taken of the senator's unusually up-close tour of the Discovery and that processing be expedited so reporters could have them...." Can't help the Republicans for crushing this softball in to the shitty seats. Self-inflicted wounds... No matter how good she looks, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit!

The reason the Kerry camp is worried is because the Dukakis crowd said "the tank picture ended his presidential bid." They are looking for an excuse since they aren't getting the normal VP announcement and convention poll bumps. Frankly, Dukakis' ideas ended his bid, the picture was just an symptom of the problem. This is the same with John Kerry. He is a 4-term senator, and he still can't figure out this whole media thingy, even when the media is a willing accomplice. He is surrounding himself with dupes, leftover Clintonistas who don't have near the top cover machine they had in the previous administration. 95% of the bad press Kerry gets is self-inflicted, and the rest I'll grant you is probably republicans with an ax to grind. Welcome to US politics...all's fair. No matter how good she looks, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit!

I didn't think of that, but aren't Bobways belly flights? I've done SB on my belly, it's wholly unruly (and maybe even dangerous to others near my airspace.) However, we could do a hybrid Bob-way safely. I'll drop you the line. No matter how good she looks, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit!

Paiger at SGC wanted me to bring Sponge Bob out to jump at the WFFC so we could do some Sponge Bob-ways. Sponge Bob is my tandem buddy, and an excellent sitflyer. The reason I sit fly with his is because he SUCKS on his belly (and I'm sure he will on his head as well.) Having all unruly cotton on your belly might be the reason. Paiger also thought this would be a cool way to get a Sponge Bob Squarepants # as well. Here is what you do: Find me at the WFFC (try the SGC or Dropzone.com tent) and tell me you want to jump with SpongeBob. You must dock on Sponge Bob in flight (and not leave any marks or blood trails on the tandem master.) Extra points if you can pass something to me in FF related to Sponge Bob. Why should you jump with SpongeBob? 1. It's free (only your jumpticket) 2. It's safe (I've never hurt anyone in freefall...at least there are no witnesses) 3. You'll get a cool video of yourself from the tandem master...nice wide angle shot. 4. It's different, and you'll get your SBS number. 5. I won't have to jump alone! I'm sure my SGC friends will remind me who has jumped with Bob already (I know of Mark, John, and Eric., maybe Wrong Way..someone else help me out here.) Anyway, the numbers start at 10 and go up. I have SBS-1. Paiger is the honorary SBS-2 (holding if for her until she docks on me this year as we both moved away from our home DZs). My SGC buddies get the 3-9 because I'm sure they've jumped with him. Find another Cajun Chicken and another Rodriguez Brother and we could do a three-qualifying dive (just rember to flash the gang sign in flight.) We'll see you at Freefall!

Okay...on 3, I'm going to jump and give you the peace sign 1/2-way through my gainer. I'll go back to belly to earth and pitch. Got that? Now, don't screw up the shot of my first base jump! No matter how good she looks, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit!

You should a confirmation letter in the mail, and sticker and patch... I registered on the first open day and got mine a week later. No matter how good she looks, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit!

Well, sure, the people who aren't happy with ultimate results in an election would have that view of things. However, a quick study of US politics from say 1960 on shows that attitude is a complete and utter pipe dream. The fact is the winner in a presidential election does take all...regardless of their self-proclamations. I'm sure Clinton's, "...first black President..." and Gore's, "...I invented the Internet..." comments were ever view as anything other than cynical. I'm sure it would be very reflective of the people if any president were to consider everyone's feelings before he made a decision, but then he'd never get anything done. The US Federal Republic system is about representative government, not majority One a person is elected to Congress, Senate, or President, the founders envisioned them doing what they thought was best for the country...not the rolling tides of public opinion. What the founders envisioned is unarguable, since it is so well documented. Whether what they envisioned is correct or not (or is what the US people want right now) is an entirely different discussion. No matter how good she looks, someone, somewhere is sick of her shit!

I'll grant you that he used the correct word at an extremely undiplomatic moment (taken out of context.) He did say ..."crusade against terrorists..." not Muslims. Does that make him a moron? I don't think so. What damage did it do to our relationship with Arab nations? Little to none...but who cares anyway? A moron got us in to Vietnam. A moron took us off the gold standard. A moron got caught with his pee-pee in an interns mouth at the oval office. A moron drove his car of a bridge in MA with a nurse in the passenger seat, got his own ass out of the water and did nothing to save her. A moron didn't approve Bradley fighting vehicles in Somolia, resulting in the deaths of 15 of my breatheren. A moron used his posistion as the former head of the NSA to pilfer SCI (code word) documents from the national archives (and then admitted it.) Another moron hired this guy for his campaign. That moron fought in Vietnam, came home and demonstrated against it (directly resulting in the deaths of US military) and is now running for president. I guess it's a free country and you can call whomever you like a moron. But at least have some sense of the word...I mean just because the guy doesn't speak well on the fly, and has a Texas accent, he does have a Harvard MBA (no easy chore.)

To put it in more simple terms, the crusades were a series of military expeditions where Christians killed Moslems because they believed in a slightly different invisible man. Oh, so we went over and kicked ass because they are Muslims or because they are terrorists? I'm sure he was referring to the first bolded response.

Yes, too bad Gore didn't realize that the president isn't elected by a majority of personal votes, but a majority of electoral college votes. Total Bush/Cheney electoral votes: 271 Total Gore/Lieberman electoral votes: 266 Gore majority: -5....woops, that would mean (OMG) Bush really won!!!
