mkporwit Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Yeah, I was going to say that this doesn't look like the Richland skyline... As for drinking now versus drinking later... I take what I can get... at least the prospect of drinking later keeps me from flying into an uncontrollable rage at the lack of a drinking culture at Yahoo... no wonder our stock's in the shitter.

sobo Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 I don't know how you feel about it, and it doesn't matter to me personally cuz I don't own any stock in either of them, but I'm glad that you guys didn't sell out to Billy G.

builder206 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 the lack of a drinking culture at Yahoo... no wonder our stock's in the shitter. You just violated that law that sez you can't post bad stuff about your employer. Now Yahoo will fire you and you'll have to sue them for like a gazillion dollars and when you get your $70,000 settlement you can go climbing for a couple weekends. That reminds me, I haven't asked you for awhile if your rack is for sale. Is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkporwit Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 No, it isn't. I'll spend a couple of weekends this month on rock, even if most of it will be teaching small party self-rescue. I'll at least get to plug some gear at the Climber's Rendezvous the 19th and 20th... and maybe at Tieton either the 26th or 27th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm way too low on the totem pole to have any real opinion about this. There was a lot of resistance at Microsoft to this transaction -- probably as much as at Yahoo, if distributed inversely. At MS the management wanted it and the troops opposed it, whereas at Yahoo the management did not want it to happen whereas I think the troops were kinda ambivalent. There would have been a bloodletting at MSN if Microsoft tried to merge the two... Besides, at the rate the stock is dropping, in three months Balmer will come back and offer Yahoo $25/share and it will seem like a great deal... at least I'd get a pro club membership and discounts at the company store out of that... I need a drink... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 I hear that Ballmer guy is a real corporate raider, a la Gordon Gecko. Is Climber's Rendezvous gonna be in Spokane? I'll be near the Tieton on your weekend, but not in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
