uhm...Dalas...I got a call from Kimberly Winter today...she noticed that I'm subscribed to your clips on vimeo and she said if I happened to watch any of them that I should have you give her a call...

wow this is now one of my fav clips on vimeo, really well done

i am a cingular customer though i'm afraid

"Touch base"... I hate that expression!

It's pretty standard practice now to be ejected from the office as quickly as possible for any reason. One way to avoid getting fired is to get a job in France where it's difficult to be fired. Remind me never to start a business in France where, if one is fired, he can incite riots, sue his employer for wrongful termination, then win or lose he could/did/dude,noway incite more riots.

Dalas, please don't incite a riot and get sent to prison. I know you would meet more "friends" as mentioned above, butt we need your view on the world and more pretty clips like this one.

You'll find a better job. Good luck. BTW, my boss gets one year salary plus all benefits for a couple years when he's fired or quits for any reason. Deservedly, though.

This reminds me of the imaginary conversations we'd have between you and your boss when you quit.
boss: "dalas you've shown up hours late to work every day this week"
dalas: "I'm not late, that's just how I roll"

You greenie, you

I get really anxious listening to this clip. I hate getting nagged in general, but for some reason, nagging voicemails are much worse.

Most anxious moment: When she said she left a message with your spouse. AAAaaaaahhhhh!

That arboretum looks nice, though.

cingular sux

fascinating

Kimberly is a bit dim and persistant huh?! love the story untold, "it's kind of important!" ha ha, what could possibly be of any importance compared with time in a beautiful park on a beautiful day, Under-Managers do not like it when you fire them, it turns their futile little world so upside down. VJ net, no offence but the word used was "gay-riffic" not gay, it is a word that does not really exist and so must be taken in an ironic and humourous way, nothing about dalas seems disrespectful or offensive.

I was working in a kitchen once during a busy saturday with few dishes and no dishwashing KP to help (very unhygienic) So I took off my apron and walked with the under-mutterer muttering some waffle or other behind me about responsibilities. These kinds of people suck. A super film. A decent human being.

way to go!!!

This is a really good clip. This reminds me of a song by The New Deal called Exciting New Direction.

Yeah...hi...it's Bill Lumbergh again. I just wanted to make sure you knew that we...uh...did start at the...uh...regular time this morning.

Yeah, it isn't a half day or anything like that. So if you could get here as soon as possible, that would be terrific.

Breath-taking. Beautiful, refreshing. This clip is just wonderful. Thank you, dalas.

i used cingular for several years in college, because my school gave me this discounted deal through them. but they sucked big floppy donkey dick*, so i switched to t-mobile.


*please, no offense to donkeys and/or people who suck dick and/or people who suck donkey dick...it's just a colorful figure of speech.

victory! i've blown off jobs more than i care to admit-- and gotten phone calls kinda along these lines. this is a great way to show what is actually important, and how great it is to tell the world to fuckoff every once and a while. thanks!

Whahahaha.
Really really funny.
I hope you had a great time with your girl!

See how kind folks act when workers leave.

You missed out on a Cingular hug.

Ok... another great piece of video. I love the fact that there is nothing other than the voiceover of the "sincere" team manager trying to show concern for Dalas when it is obvious the structure of the employer employee indentured contract has been broken. The otherwise peaceful, silent imagery mixed with the turmoil of the matrix trying to latch back on to the soul of a free spirit who has broken free.

outstanding.

Assuming you won't every need a rec...Beautiful!

this is in my top ten fav vimeo clips!

What a striking way to tell that story. Great vid.

Pardon my ignorance, but what did Kimberly do to deserve not having her call returned with a simple "I quit"? I see all these accusing comments of how she doesn't actually care, how you not showing up to work isn't really an emergency... If you disappear from work without a word, I'm not really sure what people think would be better for a manager to do. Not call? Not care? Just replace you and move on? Obviously all I know of the story is those voicemail messages, but those are my thoughts on this video.

Ooh What is happening? Are you leaving your job? What's going on?

- Nahh, just needed audiomaterial for my Vimeo video ;)


ps. I still love your beard.
