I yelled at an employee a couple years ago. I mean, lost my collective **** and screamed. He deserved every bit of it and more. It brought the place to a dead standstill and instilled a pretty decent amount of fear in everyone else about making me mad. So, that's good.

He should have been fired for insubordination. He was so stupid that after I yelled until nearly hoarse and then went out of the parking lot to pace and throw punches at the air, another supervisor had to tell him to GET THE **** OUT OF THERE and go to where he was supposed to be working before things really got out of hand. (folks run multi-county territories - don't just report to an office) The new supervisor of that unit has made sure that he does not come to this location.

I just picture in my mind you out in the parking lot doing air punches Dwight Schrute-style from The Office.
 
Has channel 13's John Sears ever smiled? Dude has a bad case of "permanent ****** off face."
 
Five-two and one quarter!

Truth is I hit 5'2 in 5th grade. There were big basketball hopes for me and then I stalled out. (I was adopted as a baby so it was a guessing game as to how tall I'd actually be) Then during my freshman year at ISU I grew a quarter inch.

I also yelled this week at a City Council meeting. I tried not to, but it didn't work out. On the upside, the vote was reversed as it needed to be.
 
So I went to the grocery store for 2 or 3 things, ended up with a cart load of stuff and forgot 2 of the things I went for in the first place? Kccloneitis is the clinical term I believe.

And no, I will not make a list. Guys with lists in grocery stores look defeated. "Pride" and "self respect" should be on their precious list.

Oh well. I may not have bread for sandwiches tomorrow, but I remembered a six pack for tonight!

I grew so much between 10 and 12, I remember hitting 5'2 and thinking wow, I am going to get so much taller at this rate! I grew 1.5 inches over the next 6 years. :cry:

Does this city council meeting happen to be archived online?

:wink:

I was 5' by fourth grade, 5'10" by eighth grade. 1/4 inch each year in HS.

Here's another thing about being a tall kid. I went to Great America at the age of four for the first time. I was tall enough to ride The Demon roller coaster. (2 loops, 2 corkscrews...pretty "wild" in the early 80's) I was also able to go into Bugs Bunny Land and play in the ballpit and whatever else there was. Next time I got to go to Great America, I was probably 6. Too tall to go in Bugs Bunny Land.

...and as for you, may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your scrotum!

At least you have your priorities in order.
