I think I grilled the best steak I've ever made tonight. Ancho-coffee rubbed strip. It was amazing.

My dog loved it.

Truthfully, her meal was Rachel Ray dry food with some ground beef I cooked yesterday and the juice off the steak plate grilled today microwaved for about 20 seconds.

If I have to add steak juice, I think she's overselling it.

Just got done chatting with Rick Reichardt about the 1963 Rose Bowl....the respect for teammates and the game are really what impressed me of someone that played in the greatest Rose Bowl of all time

Got the ok from my boss to move cubicles to another area in the building. I have been in the same spot for 8-9
years and surrounded by women. A younger woman moved in next to me about a year ago and it has become
like a hen house around here with constant talking and bullshit. Anytime I get up from my desk I am walking
right through a conversation. There is also a 60yr old woman that watches me like a hawk and tries to keep
track of when I get in and when I leave. I think she is bitter that I am salaried and she isn't, among other
insecurities she has. Will be great to have some new digs, although I fully expect to see the older woman
walking by a couple of times a day to keep tabs on me.

It is a sad state of office life when your location within the office being changed is viewed as a positive.

I'm all about the small victories in office life here. I shouldn't have been content with it for as long as I had. It's frustrating how much
time people spent worrying and talking about what others are doing when they are not in any kind of managerial role.

To exact revenge, plant something with a noxious odor in that area of the office....or hire shakes to vandalize their cars.

At the place were my wife was previously employed she was put in charge of change management for what they called "re-stacking", which meant shifting the workspaces around. The first thing she did was change the name from "re-stacking".

Anyway, I was amazed at how much importance these people attached to their cubes. Just give me a fucking flat surface and a serviceable chair. My God, people are fucking babies.

It reminds me of when I designed the office layout at this company I was a partner in. Everybody's office was designed based on his duties/the needs of the business. The CEO had the biggest office right in the middle. He didn't have a window, but he didn't cry about it. The marketing guy had a big office with a couch because he had a lot of meetings on the premises. I worked closely with the guy who is now my partner in some different businesses so I shared an office with him, even though I was the number 2 guy in the firm and the one who brought in all the fucking start-up cash. I didn't cry about it. and it worked out well. That's how my partner and I got to be close friends and we've made a lot of money together in the aftermath of this shitshow.

I gave the sales manager the smallest office and the most rudimentary office furniture. This was based on the idea that his office was in the field. I swear to God, this motherfucker wept like a baby over the little office. Grow the fuck up. Is your self-esteem really that tied to the size of your fucking desk?

My first job had many status symbols. 8' cube walls vs. 5'. Whether your chair had arm rests or not. Metal Slimlines vs plastic. If the company was required to provide you an ashtray with the vacuum fan in it or not.

I see this stuff everyday. We've moved offices downtown and in NYC, and both had this kind of tension. Our suburban office is moving in May.

But the entire office culture is something to behold. The people who try to flip their screens when you walk by. Yeah I saw you were on Amazon, and I don't care. The entire bathroom is worse than a post tail gate outhouse, and I hear the women's bathroom is even worse. The people who listen to their radios too loud and the people who complain about people who listen to their radios too loud. The lunchroom refrigerators are a public health hazard and all sorts of mold and bacteria are accumulating in there. The coffee pot that is left on all day until it is burnt at the bottom. The person who just won't take the last bagel or doughnut, which then takes on a half life. Someone takes half, and then the next takes half of what's left, and so on. The person who shows up at 9:00 and leaves at 2:00 every day. The person who coughs all day. The person who sneezes all day. The Monday morning fantasy football "huddle" where everyone seems to have been screwed by some unforeseen play. We even had a lady who used to deliver the mail with surgical gloves and a gas mask.

And yet I smile every day when I walk through the office door. It's a second home.

Yeah there is a lot of complaining around here about that kind of thing. I don't care about size of my cube or where I sit, just wanted to get the hell
out of my current area. It took 3 weeks for HR to tell my boss it was ok for me to move. They had to make sure that the size of the cube fit my
job grade and wasn't too big.

A bunch. I was a business broker. We often bought ones we thought we could do well with ourselves. That kind of blew up when we took one of the companies public via a reverse merger.

I kid but if you weren't as you just explained I would say you had so many because you were, well, you know, bad at business.

Yeah, that was a big problem my wife had. The company had all these rules about the cube sizes based on job grades/duties. But then some guy who wanted a bigger cube would cry to his manager and the manager would go to bat for him on an exception. Pretty soon there were all kinds of exceptions and the people who got downgraded were disgruntled. What a fucking headache.

I like a democratic model. I never minded sitting out on an open floor next to entry level people even if I was a "big shot". In fact, I liked it. I am a man of the people.

Going public via reverse merger is almost always a recipe for disaster. It sounds like a great idea, but the compliance requirement of being public are onerous. And those doing it that way are usually in over their heads.
