The question is why was this a surprise? Tommy should
realize by now his interpretaion of "reasonable" is quite
different from anyone elses.
Also, why was it a problem? Is't tommy bringing in $12,000/
month? Why bitch about a $250 dinner bill to celebrate your
80th birth day?

Even treating himself to his own birthday, tommy is
miserable.

so sad.....

The menu is available at:

$250 is not unreasonable for a fancy restaurant.

I think that we are all aware of Tom's financial situation,
and spending this much on one meal seems extravagant.

Personally, I don't spend extravagantly on restaurants since
I want to use my retirement money for other purposes. No
problem spending $40-75 per person occasionally, but $125 per
person would not be something would feel happy about. Eating
at home I spend about $3 per day per person and I don't
skimp.

What is it that you think you knolw about my financial
situation? Since I have just given a toital of $60,000 to my
brothers as gifts maybe you ought to listen to Liebermann
telling everyone that the car I bought was for twice what he
claimed it was worth according to Kelly Blue Book. After all
there isn't anything that Liebermann doesn't knoiw about
anything and you believe him. Liebermann even told everyone
that there was no water behind the dam at the mouth of Cull
Canyon after I said that it had been replaced with loose mud
and he called that a lie even after I published a picture of a
sign saying "Keep Out - Deep Mud".
>
Seems to me that you all hate being part of life's losers,
rather than appreciating what you have. Liebermann has his
welfare, Flunky has employer to happily scew every day,
Slocomb is happily a blowhard and Krygowski who knows nothing
about medern bikes can tell us that people who do own modern
bikes should never have a problem with them. But, those who
can, do, and those who can't, teach. And those of us that
became well to do, doing, can laugh in your faces. Your own
deep state has shown you what the think of you by making your
retirement pay worthless.

Steven, that was both mean and uncalled for. Please allow me to
appologize. It is difficult to be polite when you're constantly
being attacked by the likes of Liebermann, Flunky and
Krygowski. It would be fine if these people could actually know
much about bicycling but only Flunky has a passing acquaintance
with modern bikes and he will scream exactly the opposite from
me despite having the experience to know better.

As soon as you publish something that's right, I'll agree with
you. FWIW, I agreed with your position on helmets, from both a
safety and performance perspective.

You've shown us that you do not have the capacity of knowing
anything that is right or wrong. You must like being a dumb ass.

Lol...from the guy that thinks:
- you can ride a dent out of a top tube - "light lines" is a
common term for fiber optic communication cables - PWM is used to
test cables - campagnolo makes special pre-stretched shifter
cables - Your knees interfere with downtube shifters - everyone
needs to look down to shift downtube shifters - everyone
accelerates from a stop at full power - trump saved the obama
economy - aluminum oxide is flammable - A metric screw with a 4mm
drive means it's a 4mm screw - the covid vaccines have killed more
people than the virus

The very fact that you are trying to pretend that you actually know
something and can  pretend to make a joke out of it shows just how
stupid you are.

You're the only joke here tommy. Meanwhile, everything I posted
above are real claims of yours that have been repeatedly proven
false.
>
correction - You didn't claim that campagnolo makes special
pre-stretched shifter cables. You claimed that campagnolo makes
special _non_ stretch shifter cables...equally as false BTW

OK, I guess it's good that I wasn't hired for QC then. (Besides the

And any company that would have a boss coming by and see you
watching a bicycle race and asking you who is winning shows that
you're working at a NOTHING company.

Or, It's been a successful company since 1936 with no signs of
slowing down _precisely_ because they understand there's more to the
individual than just a body in a chair. Just yesterday during a
staffing meeting our CEO reiterated that people involved in the
interviewing process should be looking at the candidate
holistically, not just on their vocational qualifications, and that
we should promote our work/life balance philosophy (we currently
have several openings due to some retirements and new product
initiatives).

It's a pity you never worked anywhere that took an interest in what
tommy did outside of the office. Perhaps because they realized you
were an asshole that wouldn't last long anyway.

lol...nothing was misrepresented. You made the claim, and stood by it,

This was the product we were producing when I was the test department
manager. In addition I also visited numerous customer sites and handled
field services issues. In the ten years I worked there, no one ever used
the term "light lines".

The fact is that you believe that if you haven't heard a term it
doesn't exist.

No, I research these things, dumbass. The reason the term doesn't exists
is because no one uses it. To this day, the only reference to 'line
lines' you have produced is a lighting system for a laboratory
microscope, not a telecommunciation application.

But then you're a ghost worker who will be discovered with the increase

I'm not a 'ghost worker' you ignorant twit. I go into the office every
day, and have done so except for a short period when the pandemic
emergency was declared. Unlike useless lab techs like you, we were
declared essential workers because we maintian part of the gas and oil
industry infrastructure.

You were never more than an engineering tech who tried to take credit
for everyone else's works, which is why you kept getting fired.

 Flunky believes that if he denies something that it isn't true.

Sorry sparky, that's your schtick, not mine.

Poor
little cry baby working for a pitance.

poor tommy still doesn't get the concept a "perk".
Gee tommy, during yesterdays project management meeting we digressed into a 20 minute discussion on the impact of Pat Gelsingers resignation on the semiconductor market. It had nothing to do with anything in out project list. Should we all have been fired for the collective waste of 2 hours of company time?
My boss stepped out of a meeting this morning because he had to settle an issue with his car insurance.
Last week our senior firmware engineer had to take two days off because his child was sick and couldn't go to daycare, and his wife was on a business trip.
It's a pity you were never in a company where you were treated with any respect as a person, though I can certainly understand why.
