Boring Stuff About My Life

Thanks for the recipe!

My math is boring me out of my mind. I really really don't care about group theory.

I made the tiniest mistake that resulted in a VERY pissed off client.

I cried for 3 days.

2 Weeks Later I found out the client was also leaving us a result.

I cried for another 3 days.

I beat myself up over mistakes in this business.

This reminds me of my old job in terms of the client. I worked in project management in TO for new condo construction and one of our biggest clients (hint he uses a lamb for his advertising)had the most imcompetant staff in his office especially one of his assistants. She lost a bunch of cheques from homeowners that we had sent her and tried to blame it on us by cc'ing BJL (owner of the development company whom we were doing work for). Well me being as organized as I was sent all corresponding paperwork (emails, transmittals and copies of courier slips to show I had sent the cheques). I even went one further and called the courier company to find out who signed for it on their end. Needless to say, she got in big trouble. She was always trying to gaslight the f&%k out of us...she had a personal vendetta as she used to work for us and wanted to sleep with my boss..he rejected her.

The client that we had was a demanding ahole. He paid his people like ####### while driving around town in his Bentley and wearing $5000 suits, wanted to go the cheapest way as possible but charge homeowners a premium dollar and make a huge profit...complete Dbag

since we are talking jobs ....let me vent about my last one (yay)....so i was hired as a manager for an MBA program (humanitarian) since there was a problem with previous 3 managers (1 year they had 3, i might add) and the academic director. Well, first I was told that they did not have enough money to pay me the usual per year (since the previous managers wasted all the money they could....i am serious, i handled the finances afterwards) so I say ..."hey its humanitarian, I dont mind 15% less pay" then comes the....well, you wont have an assistant either, or marketing person or communications person or financial person....well, i like to be busy so sure i will take on all the responsibilities (including the cleaning btw...yah i know, i only did that sundays so nobody sees me).....so for 2 years I bust my #### from 5am till 11pm, all weekends, no holidays ...you know, thinking .....its for a good purpose. Turns out the 15% i thought was going towards things we needed for the program, the director took stating that since we have less staff aka only me he needs to work double. When I was leaving he says " well, i am sorry but you let people take advantage of you but thank you i got to relax for 2 years , oh and btw help me find a good candidate to take your spot and dont forget to speak highly of your experience". wohooo ....I learned from this....I hope !! But it still pisses me off that i was this stupid.

In a moment of pure shame, I admit I watched that terrible ICP Gathering documentary on YT for lulz. Well, that's time of my life I'll never get back.

Of course I did not forget.

i am definitely going to have a problem with how much of stuff i will need to make the right mix but i guess i can always play around with the amounts but can you give a ratio to how much of cream to bouillon for the sauce you use ?

The amounts for the meatball beef mix should be pretty good. For the sauce, I'd say maybe 2 parts cream to 1 part bouillon.

And I usually "test drive" recipes before I make something in a crunchtime situation, so to speak.

My pleasure. Let us know how they turn out. Actually boiling them in the bouillon makes cooking the meatballs SO MUCH easier. And remember! There's no such thing as too many meatballs.

If anyone has questions to me specifically, whether it's about meatballs or other things, I'd appreciate it if you quote a post of mine. I dont come to the VJ boards that often anymore, but I do get an email when someone quotes a post of mine. That's how I remembered about the meatball recipe. Or you can PM me.
