the real alex spanos
Mikey pointed out the Shitty Tippers Database so I gave it a look. Here's a great one on Alex Spanos, the owner of the Chargers:
=======================
Tipper's Name: Spanos/Ownes the football team
Restaurant: Morton's of Chicago
Where it happened: San Diego
Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $890.00 / $100.00 / 11%
What happened:
He is rudest asshole in the world! He sat in the private dining room drank wine from his wine locker that is filled with cheap wine from the winery that HE ownes, Spanos Winery. He bossed me around like his his own private bitch in front of his family and friends who all had their noses shoved so far up his ass they couldn't even hear or see what an ass he was. Please ,Please go somewhere else! You are amongst the top ten wealthiest families in the U.S, go away!! Eat your steak at home you miserable, old, cheap, arrogant, hole of an ass.
=======================
Aside from spelling "Owns" incorrectly, I like this chick. Maybe I should eat at Morton's more often.
Yeah, and maybe my new job will net me 25 million a year.
I'm a Charger's fan, have been my whole life. I've never been a Spanos fan. I hate that prick, he's made so many shifty business decisions and held San Diego hostage that I've been hoping and praying that he sells the team, which he'll never do. Here's a great multiple choice question for you...
The Chargers will get a new stadium built in the city of San Diego when:
a) Alex Spanos sells the team
b) There's a massive overturn of the city council (in process)
c) Bruce Henderson chokes on a ham sandwich
d) They win a playoff game
e) All of the above
f) Never
Personally, I pick f). Donna Frye, who will probably be our new mayor, isn't prepared to give any concessions whatsoever to the team, and the teams' been pretty adamant on some sort of city funding. Love that chick, but seriously, there's gotta be a way. The last proposal looked like a decent tradeoff, with the team footing the bill for everything BUT the team gains ownership of the land it's on...of course, then someone thought...hey...but the city could use revenue from that land to solve all our financial problems...and then strippers could come over...and who likes football anyway...
There's enough people in san diego who want the chargers to stay, but there aren't enough people who want a new stadium. Tough position for the politicians whose every breath is dictated by the whims of the people. How do you get a team to stay when you have the oldest stadium in the NFL.
Chula Vista wants the stadium there, I think that'd be the best option for everyone involved. If the city of San Diego can't make a deal (and they should claim Chapter 7 anyway), I have no problem taking a trolley to the games in South SD. As long as they're still in the county.

don't lay me (off) like that!
I got my two week notice yesterday.
Apparently, the division I work for has been hemorrhaging money for 6 months. They just can't afford me anymore.
It couldn't have come at a shittier time, really. We're trying to find a new house to rent with a yard so we can have a dog...now, if I don't find a job in the next 3 weeks, we'll barely be able to pay our current rent.
Okay I guess a shittier time would have been before the wedding.
They're going to toss me a few part time bones after I'm officially gone but it won't last, so here comes the big question...
what do I do now?
Do I start my own business in hope that I can put together clients before we're totally broke? Do I beg my friends that have their own businesses *cough* joelle *cough* to pass some work along to me? Do I go back to cube life?
Legally, I've been working for myself for 3 years, contracting with the company that's letting me go. It's been great...working by the beach, and loving the people I work for. If I'm to be honest I did get a little too comfortable here and the thought of leaving for somewhere else is killing me.
Now the future's up in the air, and I can't just think about me, I've got a new wife and two animal plates to take care of. *sigh*
so what do i WANT to do?
shit, ask me tomorrow.
