Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random

I'm a first thing every morning type guy since I typically wake up between 6-7 every day. I hate it when my wife has to wake up before me because all it takes is someone's alarm going off to tell my bowels to start preparing. Got to work 30 minutes earlier than usual today though!

Re: CUBE LIFE! Office Etiquette

Why did that person leave in the first place? Moved to take care of his mother. (That sounded ominous. He moved to be the primary caregiver for his mother.) Sounds like you're not happy his mom got better tbh. Seriously though, to me that seems like it would be less worrisome knowing that.

Is there a more unlikable coach than Dan Hurley? He was a real twit for his first few years in college, no real surprise he coaches the same way. I don’t know if that guy actually got kicked out but I love Pitino telling him not to leave. Yes mister d I realize Pitino has had his own issues!
