HA! Withdrawal?! The show was on SUNDAY night! You're not supposed to start januaryjonesing until next MONDAY!
I am SO gonna miss wrecking all the surprises for myself by reading the posts on Monday before I watch the TiVoed version - I can NEVER stay awake passed 10 anymore. #rogersterling
I agree 100% with this. My dad was a lawyer for 35 years and absolutely hated the last 15. He was always grumpy, never liked to do things with the family, and was, in general, a real prick. Now that he's retired he's MUCH more laid back and actually fun to be around.
Only one problem. That last 15 years he hated being a lawyer? That was my childhood. Thanks for that, legal profession. #rogersterling
Glad you posted this! I know its not directly relevent, but I have some new plot ideas that I thought of after the recap post:
Don's new company does the publicity/advertising for Henry Francis' boss' 1964 re-election campaign! I think it was NY Governor Rockafeller.
The original Sterling Cooper will shut down. When Don fired Sal, he said that losing Lucky Strikes will close them down. Well, they lost Lucky Strikes.
@Island of Misfit Toys: They're being absorbed. Basically all that means is that McCann-Erikson bought their accounts, and can choose to fire or keep the people working at S-C if they want to. They won't go under, but McCann-Erikson just won't have as many accounts as they thought they'd get. #rogersterling
For what its worth, Cooper's explanation of retirement is much more accurate to my grandfather's experience than the one pictured above. Not about the dying yet (Thank God), but the swift deline of abilities post-retirement? Totally. #rogersterling
@CherriSpryte: When my dad retired, he went around fixing things that weren't broken, breaking them in the process, so he would have to fix them. He broke my watch and ruined one of my rings when he tried to hammer it back into round. But he was happy.
He went back to work part-time, though, and then he died. #rogersterling
@girlleastlikelyto: Its definitely a "your mileage may vary" sort of thing. My grandfather also didn't retire til he was 78 - I think if he'd retired earlier, he'd've developed hobbies and things (even breaking and repairing things), rather than "sitting and watching Fox news on super-high volume on a gigantic flatscreen TV", which is pretty much what he does most days. #rogersterling
@Zombie Ms. Skittles: Big Love in early 2010! So, just get through the holidays, and then you can trade '60s smooth one-liners for prairie chic poly-drama. #rogersterling
I've always kind of wanted to paint murals on my walls, so this really doesn't strke me as odd. In subject matter, maybe. But I'm totally jealous that he has those giant walls to do whatever he wants with.
My future surgeon bf made me a gin and tonic last night without me even having to ask for one. With two lime wheels, because thats how I like 'em. I much prefer that to a gilded palace in Texas. I would be in the market for a nice chateau in France if the bf does well.
On the other hand, I think this man may have a little too much time on his hands. And may love god a little bit too much... Those frames of godly themes are intense.(And sparkly!)
My father is a surgeon and while he doesn't go around creating art tributes as he's still working I have to say surgeons are a bit odd. Perfectly nice and everything but prone to type a behaviour.
