Catsup Head Rides Again

[Toby]

No, Greg was not just asleep by the pool or he would have awakened when the beer can stacking happened and the camera flashes went off. He was passed out drunk. A 40+ year old man that does that on multiple occassions has a problem. Make all the excuses for him you want, but it's not acceptible behavior even in this business.

Before you can be respected you must first be respectible.

It doesn't matter to me at all. I hope he had a blast.

Toby if you have a problem with Greg then that is of course your business. If you don't mind me saying so though, you should give him a chance. I certainly wouldn't discount anyone for over partying once in a while or for the occaisional goof. It's the people who make stomping on others their lifes ambition that I think have the bigger problem.

You apparently have never worked 24 hours in a row or over dedicated yourself to a job, mission or goal.

Yeah right, keep trying to deflect the issue onto others. Classic denial technique.

Not really. Was just a statement. I work very hard, don't sleep, keep working/schmoozing, and end up drinking myself into a stupor... please explain denial...

You're denying that you have a problem and so is your friend and employer. Until that changes, there's not much point in discussing this further.

Oh ok I see what you mean...

Well if I have a problem, this isn't really the place to discuss it though it is a "public" forum and could help me according to the classic AA models and all that...

However that's not the issue with the statements, right? You are obfuscating.

It was a repudiation of professionalism and "proper" behaviour... not of personal behaviour etc...

Really, not on the same level...



But you are doing a good job for Gonzo, attaboy...

I worked 52 hours straight once and at the fiftieth hour a Syrian leveled an AK 47 6 inches from my face. Would that qualify as a hard day's work? I dunno. You tell me.

A Syrian? That's nuts! What battlefield was this?

Yeah of course if qualifies doh... i mean, this is not the same playing field at all though... sorry, me, I never whacked or swung on that level before ever.

It was at an airport. Not a war and he didn't want me to take his picture or a buncha released hostages. He was very persuasive.
