Wow...I got used. Big time. Can't say I wasn't warned, but damn.

Dear paranoid co-workers-
Please don't call me to ask me if other co-workers within eyeshot of my office door are in their respective offices. Call or e-mail them. If they don't answer/reply, they're either A) out of the office, B) busy, or C) avoiding you. Whatever the case, calling and asking me isn't going to be productive for you and the waste of time irritates the hell out of me. Mmmmkay? Thanks! :angryfire:

Fox 45 teased the "O's new addition" with B-roll footage of Vladimir Guerrero and Justin Duchscherer. I get why because it worked. I watched. But it was cheap, bush league, and low-brow.

Could you have said no?
I could have but it would have been career suicide. It would have been perceived as me saying, "Thanks! I've gone as far as I ever hope to go in this company and aspire to absolutely nothing greater."
It would have been the kind of thing that, when I ask for a raise or new opportunities I'd be told, "Well, we gave you that chance back in 2011, but you weren't interested."

Traded...at least that's how it feels.
I got word yesterday that I'm being transferred from our downtown Baltimore office to our Owings Mills Campus effective February 1st. It's a step up career-wise, the change of scenery will be nice, but that's about where it stops. My personal commute just went from 10 miles roundtrip to the Park-n-Ride to 80 miles roundtrip from Northern Harford County to Owings Mills and back every day. The difference in gas money, the additional wear and tear on my car, and the travel time will pretty much offset the nice raise I got at the end of last year.
FRAK!!! :angryfire:

I won't need them. I've decided (and she's agreed) that she will never leave the house without me (that includes school).
And if you installed the hasp and padlock on her bedroom door and windows when she was an infant, she'll grow up thinking it's perfectly normal to be locked in her room at night.

Yea, I'm always getting, "Oh, you're in trouble in a few years"..My little girl is a cutie, though I'm a tad biased. See my profile pic, and you'll see thankfully she looks nothing like me.
I get that all the time, too. We should start some kind of over-protective fathers of daughters club. Up until a year or so ago, if you'd have asked my little girl, "What does Daddy say about boys?", she would answer confidently, "Boys are poisonous!"

I really don't want to get your "sympathy" for having a second girl. Yes, I am male. Yes, I like football. No, I am not the least bit disappointed that I will be having my second girl. My goal in reproducing was not to "have someone to throw a football with." I happen to be quite fond of the first little girl and quite excited about the second one. Honestly, if that's your response...just keep your comments to yourself...because it makes my task of keeping my response to myself much easier.
Da hell is wrong with people?!?! Is the person that offered their sympathy a Communist China government official?!?!
Congrats on the second girl!!!

Referees who want to decide the outcome of the game. Really? Saluting the crowd deserves an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty? :angryfire:
That was ridiculous. It wasn't a dance. He didn't jump. It didn't involve another player. There were no props. It wasn't premediated. It was a salute. Unbelievable.

I'd never heard of Small Faces prior to this post. I'm headed to iTunes to get more. Thanks Mike!!!

The Mrs. and I were at the White Marsh Macy's on Saturday night, when some jack hole comes running past us followed by about 30 Security guards. Then all these other folks go running after the whole parade laughing and cussing about "how f'n funny this is..." Then, to finish it off, some other jackoff finds one of the Security guards walky talkies and HE steals that!
Seriously? This is how the youth of America entertains themselves? Its funny that some dude robbed the store? Its funny that 30 people are running through the store and mall knocking over merchandise and possibly running into old folks or young children? Its funny to throw "f bombs" around in front of women and children? This is entertainment now-a-days? For real? I am 36, so its not like I am some old fuddy duddy (like Bob!
) but for God's sake people...THIS is NOT funny. This is stupidity at its best! Its also why I won't allow my kids to go out to the mall with their friends until they are much older! Its a damn shame is what it is!!!!This is why we moved from White Marsh to Northern Harford County. I'm not saying the kids are perfect, but my son's new friends and ESPECIALLY the boys from my football team would have viewed this event the same way you and I do.
We were at a movie at White Marsh and a fist fight broke out between two girls. The crowed erupted into laughter and about 100 people whipped out their cell phones to record the melee rather than trying to break it up or run for help. This generation...

This God-forsaken job market! :cussing: :angryfire:
What's your background?

If I see one more person write "Raven's" in their Facebook status..my god. RAVENS. No apostrophe.
Not to nitpick, but an apostrophe might apply when using the word 'Ravens'.
"The Ravens' defense will have their hands full this Sunday." Right?

I don't get why an upper division class for my major and minor will be sympathetic to late papers by cutting off a letter grade while a general ed class that has nothing to do with my major and career plans will not allow a late paper. I mean 12 hours late and I can't even get half credit. Whole thing is my fault and not the professor's but it would be nice to catch a break for once since I turn in the papers for the higher classes on time. Oh well, it's not the end of the world but just worried about my GPA some.
Short rant fail.

The way I see it, the shower is the safest place in the building if there's a fire. I say you stay right where you are!
Hi! Facilities Management nerd here.
If the building's sprinkler system engages, you'll likely lose most if not all water pressure to the shower head. It'll be even worse if the fire department comes and taps into a hydrant.

Strep throat?!?! Really?!?! In August?!?! Ugh...

Continuing my earlier rant, Headline News called me and wanted me to go on TV at 6 tonight. I got all jazzed and told a few people, and when we stopped searching they cancelled the interview. I hate you, HLN.
McNulty? Is this you?

If it is, I think you may have missed your calling. You'd have made a good spokesperson for an actual branch of the military.

Scottie, sometimes I swear you're a Hollywood screenwriter making this stuff up. I mean that in a good way in that you tell stories pretty well.I feel like this kid is going to go on to walk on and play one snap on senior day at Notre Dame or something.
LOL...my Facebook friends can check my profile (I posted it as my status). One of the boys that was next to him on the sled chimed in and said, "You gotta love Nolte!"
Watch that last name...he'll be a stud at North Harford High School someday. I talked to his dad tonight and he confirmed that it's who this boy is. He lives for football. He asked for the NFL Network for Christmas a few years ago. His bedroom (according to dad) is a football shrine. He craves football knowledge and knows how to play several positions (DE, TE, LB, FB among others) all on his own.
This season is gonna be great!

I was working a group of my 10-12 Jarrettsville Ravens on the blocking sleds the other night. They were getting a little sluggish, so I yelled, "C'mon fellas! Hit it like it stole your Xbox! Let's go!!!"
One young man, already in his 3-point stance ready to pop the pads and to whom my comment was NOT directed (one of my best players, hardest workers, and all-around nicest kids) said, "I don't have an Xbox, Coach." I said, "Alright, your Playstation then."
"Don't have that either, Coach." Mildly annoyed, I said, "Fine! Your Ipod! Just pop the pad! Hard!" He said, "Uh-uh, don't have an Ipod, either."
I said, "What do you do then?", meaning with his free time.
"I play football, Coach."

Nestor's Facebook statuses.
What a bitter person he is.
Why are you following him on Facebook? Just take a kick in the junk...it's easier to tolerate the discomfort.

My friends were driving to our summer class today when the car in front of them started swerving around, then stopped dead in front of them on the Beltway exit ramp and began shaking back and forth. After a few
moments, they realized that the driver was beating the living crap out of the person riding shotgun. They followed the vehicle long enough to get a plate number and called 911 to report it and the direction he was heading in. The dispatcher said they were sending cops out to chase the guy down. I hope they caught the jerk and whoever he was beating on is OK. Humans are really just awful sometimes.
When I was around 17 my buddy and I pulled up behind a pickup truck at a red light and immediately noticed a large man beating the snot out of his female passenger. I mean he was closed-fist wailing on her as much as he could from inside a truck. We jumped out of the car, (***YOUNG AND STUPID DISCLAIMER***) opened the driver-side door, yanked him out, dragged him to the ground, and started beating him. She came out from around the passenger side, busted and bloodied, and jumped on my back, started pounding on me, screaming, "Get off of him! Leave him alone!" I stopped swinging at the guy, jumped up, shook her off of me, and didn't know what to think. My buddy called the driver a few choice names as he picked himself up off the asphalt, told her she either needed to go to the police, a shelter, or the psych ward, and we got back in the car and left just as the light turned yellow and red again.
(By the way...if you guessed this all took place on Merritt Boulevard in Dundalk about two miles from the North Point Precinct, you'd be correct.)

It's been around so long it's like part of the family, and no one wants to see a naked flea when they come over. DUH!
And why would you want to get rid of a flea that stinkin' cute?

I got a 39 on my MCAT, so I now have a chance of getting into medical school. Yay!Congrats dude!
I could have been a doctor, too, if it wasn't for all those stupid Biology classes.

Politics in youth sports.
Pssh...c'mon, man. I was had, but I'm not THAT gullible.
Oh, yeah...I'm fine. I took the high road and it forced someone to back pedal quite a bit. Things might work out after all, but it should have been handled better.
