Hi all!  Long time no see.

Got a new job.  Coming to San Jose next week to train.  Who's up for a beer?

Also bought a house today.    8)   [sm_buddies] [sm_beertoast]


What did I miss?

Not as much as we missed, apparently!

Hey, congrats on the house!!

I'm definitely in for a beer.  Where will you be staying and training in San Jose?

Thanks.   

Hyatt House by the airport and the company is on Orchard Pkwy.

 ;D

Yeah, I've been busy.

Cool, what days/times are best for you?

Ok, I'm here.  I'm at Hyatt house on Montague and Agnew in Santa Clara.

Class is Mon. - Sat. 8 to around 5 I'm guessing, so pretty much any evening that works for you.

I have to go into Franny today with the class to do tourist bull*feces*, not the least of which is a visit to The Rock. 

hate X 11ty.   >:(  I have better things to do.

But, I have to do it, along with a bunch of ass kissing.  I'm already in trouble.  This class started Thursday, but I couldn't fly here until Saturday.  They were expecting me in the morning, and I got here about 5:30 then blew them off for dinner.  *fudge* 'em  I was tired, and half in the bag.   ;D

stroh dags you bastard

It just so happens that I'm going to be in Sunnyvale tomorrow for some nerdy thing at 6pm. It should be over around 8 to 8:30. :)

I'd join you for a beer, but you're in the wrong country...

That may work.  I have to stay after school tonight to make up for the *feces* I missed.  Don't know how long that will take.

I'll let you know.

 ;D  I'll make it down there one of these days.

Ok, don't know what you guys are up to, or able to do, but for tonight I'm going to head next to the hotel.....There is a Red Robin.

I'm not too familiar with Santa Clara other than the convention center, so maybe dys can suggest something. If this thing doesn't serve pizza or something tomorrow, I'm going to be starving afterward so I could go for a Red Robin burger if you don't mind going there two nights in a row.

Whoops, I missed this yesterday.

I'm free every evening this week I think, so just let me know.

Sounds great to me.

Ungh. OK, I have better clarity on my schedule now.

Tonight is probably too late and Thursday is out.

So I can do Wed, Fri, or Sat.  What time are you free in the evenings, stroh?  Do you have dinner with your class?

LOL  No prob.

Dinner, no. 

They are all corporate sales geek sycophants who do dumb *feces* like come back to the hotel, get together to mate with all of their i-whatevers, then change clothes into anything that has a name on it, then run(please), work out(even more), try to kiss more ass, ask about going out to dinner, including wine choices, complain about the take out sushi(Really?  Really?) [sm_disgust]

Sorry.  No, I'm free after class.  Let me know.

gleek, if tonight doesn't work for you, no prob.  Let me know.  I know it will be getting kind of late.

I am here through Sat. too without plans.

I'm still at this event. i didn't know it would go so late. Maybe later in the week will be better.

no prob.

I know a nice sushi place, pretty good wine selection.  Maybe we could grab some takeout and then hit the gym?

Just kidding. How about this place below?  1/2 price burgers on Wed.  I can make it anytime tonight.

Unfortunately tomorrow's Happy Hour special is pitchers of Bud, MGD, Coor's Lite.  Tonight's special is margaritas.

Tonight isn't a good night for me, since I came home so late last night and the kids were acting up.  [sm_anon]

I might be able to do Friday night. BTW, there's also Dave & Buster's (http://www.daveandbusters.com/), if you're into that sort of thing.

Yeah, it's probably easiest to plan this a little ahead of time.  Friday works for me.  Either place works for me. Any preferences, stroh?

stroh, how's Friday?  Any team-building dinner/drinks planned that night?

Friday is perfect.  D & B works for me.  Or any place that is close for you guys.  I think we finish up Friday, so I'll let you guys know about a time.

Great!  [sm_beertoast]

Friday still works for me, but I just found out I'm now also available on Thursday if that's a better night for you guys.

Hey guys, we're thinking about the Milpitas Dave and Buster's, right?

940 Great Mall Dr.
Milpitas , CA 95035

What time should we meet?

They have happy hour and power hour between 4:30 and 7pm.

They also have an eat & play combo for $16 before 5pm.

I don't think I can make it there before 5.

I don't think I can eat that early anyway. I'm not that old yet. :D

Just let us know what time you get out. You have wheels, right? Or are you going to need dys to pick you up? (I volunteered him since I'll be coming from a different direction. :D)

LOL

 I just got out, so gonna change, drink beer, etc. then I'll be ready.  If dys. wants to pick me up that would be great, o/w I was just gonna grab a cab.

OK, I'll pick you up on my way.  How about if I pick you up at 5:30pm and we get to Dave and Busters at 6pm?

stroh, I'll send you a PM for more details.

We'll still have 1 hour for happy hour. ;D

leaving now to pick up strohdawg

That MMMOTI (again) kicked ass!

Thank you guys.   [sm_buddies] [sm_beertoast]

Where are the pics of stroh rocking out to Pat Benatar? ;D

Well if Stroh is back, looks like there could be a few laughs again. ;D ;D

Hi guys, its been a while, guess what I finally have broadband. :o ;D.....no more dial-up.

I have also joined the 21st century and have an apple Iphone, and thank God I have my daughter to teach me how to use it.

My golf has been suffering as I have been working full-time for the last year, but "I am looking for a new job now" so hopefully my golf will improve. ;D

 :o

Sweet!

Much humor to come.  Still stuck right now with the move, the new job and other various associated bull*feces*.....

But that stuff shall be fodder no doubt for the hilarity that will ensue. 

Count on it.   ;)

In fact I'm already pissed and "stroh-ly" annoyed by so much *feces* right now.........you have no idea.

LOL

I'm tipping you mean "pissed" but not in the "I've just drunk 14 beers pissed" sense??

Stroh last time on here you and the family were moving to Palm Springs??(is that the place?) Where are you moving to now?

I think he's moving from one house next to a golf course to another house next to a golf course. Both in the Palm Springs area.

Gee from one golf course to another, has Stroh scored a top job in Blader Industries. ;D. I am guessing the courses don't ice up im the winter in Palm Springs as well. ;D

 ;D  New job is pretty good.  gleek had it about right.  We're still here in the area.  We were renting a house and the lease was up when we decided we were staying here so we looked around and bought a house.  Also the new job influenced the decision.

You've know me long enough to realize I mean "both".   ;D
