Hello BT Superfriends,
This is txlandlord. I created a BT account for my construction manager….txcmanager.
He is a great guy.
Say hey, and though I hesitate to ask (because of all my routy friends on BT)…give him an idea of what it is like to be a BTer. Try to welcome him and make him feel welcome and at home. Don’t worry, he can get routy with the best of us.
I have sung the praises of BT to him for some time now and gave him a new laptop for Christmas. He is now up and running.

Txlandlord? we don't know no Txlandlord around here. You must be at the wrong forum.
That is about what I expected, especially from an NY foreigner.
I can't help it if you have not learned to read yet.
you are really showing a lot of confidence in your manager to expose him to something this exotic and addictive!

That is why we have good subs, who need minimual supervision.
We listened and viewed some early Rolling Stones, Ricky Lee Jones, Joe Satriani, and the guitar battle between Steve Vai and the Karati Kid (Ry Cooder playing for KK) from the movie Crossroads this AM on Utube.
Sampling of the business meeting that fired us up:

It is good we are not working for someone else, we would not be fired up but fired.
My new CM is already spoiled.

Even though he is a former frame carpenter (see rez thread "they are lining up at the door" and my suggestion) don't let him in the Woodshed yet.
Now is that txlandlord speaking or txcmanager, it's going to be hard to keep track of who's who ;-)
We be gonna keep you guessing. Aside from that we expect foreigners to be confused.

Carefull, some the foreigners ain't so foreign <g>
Bambam is over to the Sabine (but on the good side); Timby is up north of DFW; tomt226 travels over much of the state. There's more, I can't find my cheat sheet that includes former handles and semi-lurkers . . .
Oh yeah, start 'splainin' to y'r boss you need a raise and some time off. Just tell him you agreed to buy the first round in the Tavern before finding out how many drinks that is <g>. And, "I signed us up for a Fest. What's a Fest?"Occupational hazard of my occupation not being around (sorry Bubba)

33491 post. Are you speaking from experience? If you are speaking as a big brother to a younger brother about the BT Addiction Blues, I think TGNY is already hooked.
I'm going to work for you so I can get paid for doing this BS;)

I'm going to work for you so I can get paid for doing this BSCome on down, based on your "experience" we will furnish the knitting needles, yarn, rocking chair, blanket, hot soup at lunch during the winter and lemonade in the Summer.....lots of lemonade in the TX Summer.
How 'bout a megaphone so I can aggravate the neighbors?

You will need a megaphone and a 4 wheeler, that way you can drive the 2-3 miles to get close enough to the neighbors home where they can hear ya.
The 4 wheeler may be out of budget, but we have a horse you can use .
That's OK, I have saw horses up here;)

So far kinda seems like the strong silent type._______________________________________________________________
I wonder where my get up and go went
So far kinda seems like the strong silent type.
I've done all his posting to date, setting him up on BT. He was working today, went to clean up the truck after work but will be over for steaks and to watch the College National Championship game this evening.
So it was you who was being cranky with me, why I oughtta...
Sorrry NY, you know we love you. The steaks are ready, the frig is stocked and I am out of here. I did invite a former employee and great friend. He is 7'2", but does not eat THAT much. He was a last minute invite for steaks and the game. txcmanager had to go to choir practise first, but he is on the way.
The wife spent most of here life in Palm Beach, so I guess we will be routing for the Gators. They have a "long row to ho" against the Buckeyes.
Peace out.
Enjoy the game Tex, just teasing ya. If I didn't live so far, I'd invite myself over for a beer and one of those steaks ;-)
Great steaks and a great game...if you are a Gator fan. I loved it, especially after all of the Ohio State talk. I did not realize Ohio State was 0-8 in bowl games against the SEC. SEC speed is hard to defend against, but the Gators also kicked butt.
Ny'ah, now--me first, if there's pay in't. (Going back to some one thing I've maastered after all <g> . . . )Occupational hazard of my occupation not being around (sorry Bubba)
Me? no? ................

Yep....denial....that is a clear indication of a serious problem.

Hello dude, Welcome Home!
Is your boss really great or what?
LOL
Looking forward to getting to know you. Does he let you play with Softplan too, or give you the drudgery of counting the money and firing the labour?

Does he let you play with Softplan too
He will be getting his own V13 key soon. In the meantime, I am fixing up an old computer with V10 where he can practise.
or give you the drudgery of counting the money
If I let him count the money, he may want a raise....not realizing how much my wife goes shopping.
and firing the labour?
He already wants to fire more people that I do....maybe that is good.
I told him he could be the good cop......tell them tx only does two things....drink coffee and kick butt, and if he has to make the trip out here to the site, he has finsihed his coffee.
txlandlord... txlandlord... Oh yeah, I remember him now!
He's the guy who keeps emailing everyone asking if they are 13 or 14 y.o. and if they like men in raincoats and dark socks.
Rebuilding my home in Cypress, CA
Also a CRX fanatic!
Thats him!
FREE CAROLE
(This hasn't worked for anyone else....but what the heck.)
So, you've bought him a laptop AND signed him up for BT? Guess you'll be firing him soon as he'll surely be getting virtually nothing done because he's too busy screwing around on here.
When you're this good, EVERYONE wants a crack at you!

Well make up your mind. Which is it.
