That cartoon made me laugh hysterically (followed by a paroxysm of hacking) because it is essentially my life. I have paperwork on the left side of my desk that explains the paperwork on the right side of my desk. They told us we were going to be paperless within five years back in 2007, but then I get a memo telling me that the average employee here prints 10,000 pages per year. Where DOES it all come from?

Steps to obtain sports agency internship:

(1)  Begin the email with these very important words:  "Dear Mr. Pelinka"

(2)  Write a few gushing sentences about how smooth his jumpshot was and how you are extremely jealous of his hair

(3)  Profit (unless it's an unpaid internship)

Tomorrow, I am working the Detroit City FC game (at 1 PM, everyone should come!), then heading up to Mt. Pleasant to celebrate my cousin's 18th birthday at the casino.  Sunday, finally get to relax.  It's been a crazy past week, I'm looking forward to some down time.

Congrats! I hope you now know that your weekends, and really weeknights, will now consist of wedding planning.

The great thing is, she already told me that if I say "I don't have an opinion" or "I don't care" about something... she's cool with that.  Plus the wedding probably won't happen for another 2 years, so we have time to save a little more dough.  But thank you for your congratulations!

What I realized is this is probably the most important day for your fiancé. Just let her do her thing and all is well. Agree with whatever she proposes. I always laugh at the guys who try and give their $.02.

So hot.  Milk was a bad choice.

But seriously, word to the wise, even if you don't care, act interested and provide some insight, but avoid being opinionated. Also, she's gonna freak out, you will probably fight a couple of times (usually over the cost of something and the guest list).

As BucksFanXC said, even if you don't care, pretend like you do.  I have been planning my wedding for the last 8 months (Beach wedding in Traverse City in August).  There are many aspects I don't care about as long as the wife-to-be is happy, but I still pretend to care for her sake.  The conversation goes something like this:

Fiance: What do you think about the centerpieces?

Me: Which one do you like?

Fiance: The square ones with the purple flowers.

Me: Perfect, that's the one I like better too.

First, I love these threads.

Secondly, I did all my hard manual labor last weekend, new storm door, poured a concrete step, landscaping, organize my garage. So this weekend I'm hosting family. My grandparents are coming up to meet my daughter for the first time, she's 3mos old this week. The new step will allow my grandmother to get in and out of the house more easily I hope. I always tell my wife, gotta get the chores done in summer because once football season starts my Saturdays are spoken for.

My mom and stepdad come over, mom takes the baby for hours on end without getting frustrated when she cries, etc. and my stepdad helps me with my projects. It's win/win. Although my wife gets all jealous when the baby doesn't cry for my mom or gets pissed when my mom only tries to teach her to say Dadda. But you take the bad with the good I guess. How old is your little bundle?

She's just now 4 months old.  And we have a 4-year old too.  He's an energetic little dude and she likes to keep me up at night (I do the nights).  We don't have family nearby so I'm jealous of you.  We had a lot of company for help the first month and the sh-t got real.

Yeah, between my mom and her mom we have help nearby. I don't have to do nights because I work and my wife doesn't. But she is going to go back to work within the next month, so we'll see how that goes. She already sleeps better at nights, not quite through every night yet though.
