you could always take him with you. is your office close to center city? just roll to the restaurant right after work one day...have some drinks and grab a bite. then you're done and you won't feel guilty.

1. The Cosanza (née Jeagler) never takes another day off work
Or
B. This guy get called off to Afghanistan :shock:
wow. i don't think he's getting called over there, at least for a long ass time.
so basically you are telling me i have no choice but to cancel my honeymoon.
good lord. why do people have to be so generous with their gifts? don't they see how much they can screw over the gift reciever's life?? i was really looking forward to mexico....f#ck

ah, tough one dude. well, this guy thinks you did his work for a couple of weeks. he might be acting a little too thankful, but I wouldn't sweat it.
so is your wedding over the holidays? hopefully you are going somewhere cool for the honeymoon
EXCELLENT IDEA....You never know you may not have a lot in common buy your wives could.
Know what's more excruciating than going to a dinner with a person you have nothing in common with? Going to a dinner with someone you have absolutely nothing in common with and now you're screwed even worse if the women get along. No way out at that point. Pure. Hell. Jeags, and no offense to the person giving this advice, but this absolutely not good advice.
none taken. :oops:
"...And I fight back in my mind. Never lets me be right.
I got memories. I got shit so much it don't show."
You've made it clear that you reluctantly accepted the $250 then had verbal diarrhea about paying him back when it's your turn. You have to get out of that, and fast. Otherwise you're setting a precedent that will be unworkable in the future (i.e. do you have to gift him every time you take a vacation? And what's a vacation versus a couple of days? If you take two days, is the gift certificate the Olive Garden for $50? One day is Arby's for $20? And "cover me for two hours while I get my oil changed" is $10 at McDonalds? "I'm going to the bathroom, can you grab my phone if it rings? Here's $1 for a package of Skittles from the vending machine.")
I think you need to say to him, casually, "Hey, about the $250, I do appreciate your gratitude, and I thank you for it, but I think it could get awkward if we were to fall into a practice of gifting each other every time we go away. So thank you for this, and let's just move on."

Well if you have never had to gracefully endure a dinner with someone new, different, unpleasant, then, perhaps you are not a man.
Its not about that.
Its about turning it on its head.
Dude, that was so generous, but we are in this together, you watch my back, I watch yours, no thanks needed.
Lets eat and drink well together.
fucking hilarious!!!! Could only happen to Jeagsy!!!!!! jeags thinks to himself, "man this is awkward, I didn't DO what he thinks I did. Damn, how do I get out of this? I know, I'll give him the same thing . it'll be PERFECT!!!!"

how was the dinner?
haven't gone yet. have res for couple days after xmas. this place is always booked up.
Enjoy dude. Butcher and Singer is fantastic. You been to Barclay Prime?
There's some douche around here who lived there for dinner when he was in town for the Spectrum shows. Paid by his father. But, yes, BP is sweet.
Apparently, that is where one Clifton Phifer Lee had his victor dinner. :thumbup:
Yeah, I know who you are talking about. Dude that takes shit talking to completely unnecessary levels. Great place though. By far the best steakhouse in Philly.
That's cool. It is also where Jeter, Minka Kelly, Jorge and his wife dined while Raul Ibanez was taking in a Pearl Jam show.

so now i'm out $250 bucks and i'm forced into having an awkward conversation with him every time i go to the printer (he sits right next to it) because i always feel like he's waiting for me to tell him about my glorious dinner that he paid for.
I don't know you and I don't him, but I doubt he's waiting to hear about the dinner. He gave you that gift because he was grateful for you watching over his stuff. Maybe you didn't do it great, but you did more than would have happened if no one had done anything. Sounds like he has a tough life what with going off for active duty frequently and trying to juggle it with a challenging job like you guys have. Do what you said you'd do (give him some $250 thing for watching your accounts while you're gone, because you said you would), and then next time when you watch his stuff again, remind him that you're each just helping each other out an he doesn't have to give you anything. In a way you're helping the country too, since your helping make it possible for him to serve. I don't know if that helps.

you committed to returning the favour..........you must stick with it unfortunately. but tell him from now on you guys are "even", no more gifts, it's just par for the course. if he tries to give you a gift next time around, flat out refuse, and don't take no for an answer.

Wicked smaht, mistah.
Wonder if he's regifting you something he'd been given. :think:
when it's your turn, make a donation in his name to the human fund
:wave:
I mean, aren't we all?
with the repeal of don't ask don't tell, maybe so :think:
It's money for people.
Its not about that.
Its about turning it on its head.

Either that or send him $250 bucks worth of katz's salami when he is on duty.

10 pounds of katz's meat will make him the most popular guy in the platoon-if thats what NG units are called
