    Would you believe I'm 25 and have never had a beer or alcoholic beverage? Not religious or anything, just never had a drink. I'll make sure my first is watching a Rox game though

    LOL you can say that again. I guess they are right when they say opposites attract. I am the OCD have to be perfect in my head type and she is the eh, who cares type. If it works, then it works. It not, then oh well. She always says: "As long as the judge is smiling at me, I knows I will win"

    I can't believe he was going to get a bonus. Corporate America is warped.

    yeah, let's not give a bonus to the CSN executive who is in charge of a group that can't find a profitable deal. seems reasonable.

    You would think that in order to get a merit raise you have to do something that actually...merits it

    I was one of those "good little kids" who followed the rules, so I didn't drink until a few days after I turned 21

    I feel you... the urge and the curiosity sort of kicked in for me.

    OK, I think the derail needed to be over about 20 posts ago.

    Bankruptcy, partnerships where everyone wins no matter what, expected bonuses based on sub-par performances.....is this a sports network or an Andy Fastow SPE?

    If it's a weekend, let me know and I'm in! I tried to meet Pugs and a few others last year but never got around to it.
