Last month I mentioned the horny names of certain beers made by Sweetwater Brewing here in Atlanta.  Well, Happy Ending Imperial Stout is now in bottles.  I applaud their ballsiness, but I wonder how in the heck they got away with putting this description on the bottle.  “Happy Ending is a huge dry hopped stiffy, for a full figured beer resulting in an ...

Well, my jerkoff neighbor (see 10/5, 10/6, 10/10, and 2/14 blogs for all related entries) put his house for sale yesterday.  He must be moving for 1 of 2 reasons. 

1 – His wife is pregnant with their second child so they need to move to a larger house. 

Like all of our "All Hands Meetings" at work, our overseas offices dial in to a conference call number.  This also includes the local employees who are working remotely.  Long story short – we were called into an impromptu company-wide meeting today.  The news was that our CEO had left for another venture.  The person giving the news was the CFO who has now also added the CEO title to his job description (with approval from the Board of Directors last week).  He didn’t identify himself when the meeting began to the phone listeners; therefore, after he had given a 1 ...

(Me): Hi, I’d like to make a reservation for Saturday afternoon.

(Lady): What time would you like?

There is a local brewery (Sweetwater) that makes some great beers and they’re also known for their attention-getting names.  The flagship beer is Sweetwater 420 and while they claim there is no drug connotation, I don’t believe it for one second.  More amusing are the horny names they’ve given some of the other beers.  When Georgia finally passed into law several years ago ...

The first was with a group of ex-coworkers who get together to have dinner at someone’s house every few months or so.  We’re all so “inbred” it’s gotten to the point where we’ve worked with each other for 2 or 3 different compa ...

Well, the Gods of Justice smiled on me yesterday and let me out of jury duty.  After last year’s 2 ½ week fiasco, I wasn’t quite ready to be a civil servant again.  Thankfully Dekalb County, unlike other counties in metro Atlanta, has a “One Day or One Trial” policy.  So if you don’t get called for jury duty the day you report, you don’t have to come back the rest of the week.

Now that the company I work for has consolidated its space from the whole 22^nd floor to half of it, we have a new neighbor on the other side.  Pay By Touch is the new company who inhabits our floor.  They are a firm that deals in biometrics – cool stuff like where you pay for an item by having your fingerprint scanned.  “Big Brother” concerns aside, it’s actually a neat concept but I don’t know if it will take off in the
