On the radio this AM I heard two things I did not know. One, how could I not have? And the other, how could I? Anderson Coopers Mother is Gloria Vanderbilt. WTF? Did everyone know this except me? Gloria Vanderbilt had a lesbo fling in college? This came to light during a tandem interview they were doing for the book they co wrote. Prior to the interview Anderson didn't know either...and he's gay. I'm so confused. And, no this is not an April Fools thing. I have no real focus. I had my hair cut yesterday which made my week. What little stupid thing makes you giddy? Or April Fool your hearts out.
I did know that his mom was Gloria Vanderbilt. I thought this was common knowledge?? C'mon now, shegirl!! The only thing I know about her is that she designs jeans for older women. However, I feel like she has more significance than that but I just don't care enough to google her. My horrible cunt of a boss was in Europe for a week and everyone was under the impression she was only going to be in yesterday, and then out again today. Lucky for us, she was here this morning. We all thought it was a cruel April Fools joke, but nope. She actually showed up. I'm just glad she left at noon and we can all breeze easy again. Does anyone else have that one person in the office that makes everyone walk on pins and needles? The mood of the whole building changes when she's here. It's bizarre to me how ONE person can have such an effect on so many.
Yep... fired her last week. Took almost a year to engineer it, but it finally happened. Everyone started humming the same song...
Typically a boss who has no idea what they're doing, treating anyone with a different opinion or effective idea as an intellectual inferior. Someone who does not comprehend or value the amount of work, time, or effort their employees put in. One of the best days of my life is when corporate came in to fire that morbidly obese, rude, dumb, piece of skunky cunt trash. I hope she chokes to death on her own gunt. My simple pleasures: money, tits, cheeseburgers. I am hitting a joint today with a grill that has 40 years of seasoning. You can't buy that kind of ingredient.
Ugh. You have NO idea how much better this office would be if she could be fired. However, she's a shareholder, brings in a ton of money for the firm, and none of the other shareholders care enough to do anything about it. She's gone through 4 assistants in 2 years because she has no problem calling someone a "fucking idiot" to their face.
I'm with Tricky. I thought everybody knew this. Although, I figured it was more common for most of the people on this board not to have any idea who Gloria Vanderbilt is.
Getting filthy cheap deals on outdoor gear. I am overjoyed over this backpack I just got for $20, as it'll hold the same amount of stuff and carry it just as well as a Duluth Pack that costs several times more. I have this love/hate thing with Mills Fleet Farm. Love the deals, hate how I end up leaving with way more shit than I intended to.
I knew that running 'shine was a thing related to NASCAR and its roots. But, tobacco? http://www.sportingnews.com/nascar-...st-nascar-xfinity-tobacco-smuggling-drug-bust I didn't even know tobacco smuggling was a thing. Can you Canadians not get cigarettes and Copenhagen easily?
I have a feeling it's a tax thing. I went up to Canada in the late 80's and had to pay $4.55 for a pack of smokes when they were like $1.25 in the states. I can only imagine what they are now .
Hell, smuggling tobacco across state lines is a big thing because of the taxes. Probably a lot less risk than trying to go to Canada, too. When I worked at a convenience store I probably spent about 25% of my time doing stuff related to accounting for and keeping track of the cigarette inventory. The tax man don't fuck around.
Here in Eastern Ontario, value brands go for about $11 a pack and the brand name brands sell for $13-14 a pack. I can drive 20 minutes and cross the border into New York and get them for less than half the price that they cost here.
My brother smuggled tobacco into his welcome-unit, but he's an Army Reservist and they were on some sort of restriction at the time against tobacco, and he did eventually get caught. He'd ask my dad to buy him some tobacco pouches and some dental floss containers, and my dad would fit the pouches into the floss containers in just such a way to be shipped without questions asked, but dumbass brother had to ruin it by selling to someone who blabbed where he got it from. Funny story, though.

Today I went down to the Sprint store to re-negotiate my contract, and ended up getting their "New iPhone for Life" plan. I now have a 6S; it's my first smart-phone, and it's going to take some getting used-to, but I guess it was inevitable.
Over $11 for a name-brand pack, so many smokers here drive to the native reserve where they're a fraction on the price. In Port Huron its $20 for a 40 oz bottle of Rum. One mile across the river in Sarnia that same bottle is $57. A magical line somehow nearly tripled the price. The LCBO is a rip-off monopoly.
