C,

Guy call you something you're so clearly not - the thing to do is laugh it off. Anger lends the accusation credence.

Guess what was the one "social fluidity" strong point I struggled with from about elementary school onward!

Party was not at his house.

Taylor,

Guy call you something you're so clearly not - the thing to do is laugh it off. Anger lends the accusation credence.

I was ready to pounce. But Goldie didn't say one word for the rest of the evening. He went out *on a high note*!

C,

You're a man of unimaginable reservation and impossible restraint. Your self-discipline knows no bounds.

Honestly. I would not have been able to handle that.

God, I'm lucky I have no social life... I'd flip my wig at parties like that, with scum like that.

Was the party at HIS house? You might've said, "I hope you all enjoyed the party... after all, we paid for it. Isn't that right, Mr. Bailout?"

To which he'd respond ala Curb Your Enthusiasm, "No no! I paid for this party with OTHER money, not the bailout money!"

I have "friends" from my Ivy School who are Goldman alumns. Here's another nauseating anecdote for ya - one of my buddies from school married his girlfriend from our school. after school, they both worked at Goldman Sachs. At the homily part of the wedding, I thought I noticed that the priest seemed to make mention of GS quite a bit, and with a certain exaggerated "flair" - "GOOOOLDMAN.... SACHSSSSS" At the reception, one of our buddies claimed to count the number of times GS was mentioned - something like 27! Even the priest was caught up in it!

And this wedding was a marriage of two extremely wealthy families. The wife's family was the "new money" however. And even though one of the minor/ancillary "holdings" of the family is ownership of a Major League Baseball team, they were considred new money and the attitude of the groom's side was that they were slumming. Even though the wedding was well over $500k (so really georgeous, and we all thought tastefully done at that), the report from the internal groom's side of the equation was that it was all for show and tacky.

Anyway, my point for bringing this up is to tell you how I deal with it, because I am constantly confronted with the arrogance. I gotta hop now though. Gotta take the in laws to the airport. Saweet! But I will follow up with my method for dealing with the arrogance...... stay tuned.

I am sure there were a few Busch cans representing...I already left but a friend of mine called me to inform me that later that night, two semis showed up. I guess the owners prefer sleeping in their cabs instead of bring tents to camp out. You gotta love 4th of July cookouts in NH!

Anyone bring Busch cans?

Heck, does it even come in bottles?

BTW, I highly recommend yoga. It helps me *gather all the joy* I can....

Perhaps on second thought I should have keyed the dude's car on the way out. Next time!

C-Nut,

You let him off easy. If he was at the shin dig I was at this weekend, he would have found himself in the swine cooker until his internal temperature reached 150 degrees. This company deserves to be firebombed and all the employees including former dragged out of their safe social circles and introduced to the tar and feathers they deserve.
