LLPOF: The Re-Beginining
Yes, LLPOF is back. And he has wasted no time in pissing me off.
LLPOF: Can you dial in this weekend and…
Me: I won't be here this weekend.
LLPOF: I know. But can you dial in and do [shit he could do if he didn't think he could pawn it off on somebody else.]
Me: I'm flying home for my sister's wedding.
LLPOF: Yeah but…
Me: I will be with my family this weekend. I'm not working.
LLPOF: Well it needs to be done.
Me: And you can't do it…why?
LLPOF: I was here all last weekend.
Me: So was I.
LLPOF: Well I'm going to be in Tahoe all weekend.
Me: Bring a laptop with you.
LLPOF: Fine. Be selfish.
The joke's on him. I was already selfish before he even walked in.

Am I missing something, or can I not find a clear translation of LLPOF anywhere? The ultimate link leads to a 404, and there are simply too many hilarious things it could mean for me to make a logical guess.

First LLPOF story: http://ambernight.org/archives/2006/02/09/137
Some links are broken because I changed blogging software awhile back and never got around to fixing all the links.

Nobody where you work knows you blog?
Although I don’t let anyone at work know about my blog, I carefully avoid talking about my co-workers at all in case they do find out about it.

Only one person I work with knows I blog, and he’s a close friend. I also refrain from talking about people who I would care about if they saw it. Even with my sister, everything I’ve said about her, I’ve already said to her in person. “Chet” also knows exactly how I feel about him.
I suppose I’m sticking my neck out with regards to LLPOF. People have been fired for less. But I find delicious the idea that LLPOF would go running into my boss’s office whining that the idiot I’m referring to is him.

Thanks for the clarification! I would have prefered one of my many off-the-top guesses, like: “Ladies Love Pissing On Fred” but I’ll deal with the harsh reality of LLPOF. Next time he talks to you just start screaming “rape!” at the top of your lungs, it should work and/or bring help.

Amber, could you at least dial in and describe the wedding cake? Some things take priority over selfishness and cake happens to be one of them.

When he says “dial in”, is that just the bizzare habit people have of referring to any form of remote access as “dialing in”? Or do you actually work in the 1980s?

Let me get this straight. The guy is going to be in the mountains where he will most likely have no connectivity. You will be at a wedding for what? Let’s call it 8 hours for wedding + reception because it’s your sister but prob less. That gives you the rest of the weekend that you could do whatever it is that needs doing so the guy can go camping with probably his family. Is there any reason we should think you aren’t just being a bitch to be a bitch? Based on info provided this is the only conclusion.

@Joe: This cluster isn’t connected to the internet, so if you’re remote, you have to dial in. It’s not as bad as it sounds, since it’s just a simple text terminal connection. It is an encrypted connection though, which brings us up to the late ’90s I think.

Hunter must be LLPOF. Creepy.

Based on the info provided by LLPOF, I’d say this is the right decision… now if he said he’d have no connectivity, that’d be one thing, but Tahoe has lots of nice resorts and things where they have phones and probably even wireless internet. Its not like he said he was going to be backpacking through the Rockies or something…

Hunter: Have you ever been to Tahoe? Considering what Tahoe is, why would you assume he would be camping rather than at one of the resorts? Also it’s a wedding, that means more than just the bride and groom and the scheduled gatherings. What if Amber wants to hang out with the rest of her family, and…I don’t know, make waffles that she’s never made before on a waffle iron that doesn’t exist.
Krones: Will you please go back to blogging now and then? Pretty please with lady bugs and gum drops.

I was at my niece’s wedding over the weekend, and I couldn’t even find the time to “dial in” to Amber’s blog, much less do anything work related. NOBODY should be expected to have any spare time to do anything else during a family wedding (and I can’t wait to hear Amber’s wedding story). As far as I can tell, Amber does not work for LLPOF, so she has no reason to take orders from him.
Awaiting the next fanboi comment from Hunter..
