Do you have some mundane piece of bullshit you just can't help telling people about? Perhaps you did something completely banal this weekend and insist on vomiting a story about it onto the internet. Maybe you have a very strong opinion about something that everyone else on the planet couldn't give two shits about. This is the thread where you can tell us all about it! Why clog up the board with more threads when you can post here and be absolutely, positively certain that No One Gives a Shit! Gone are the days of wondering if anyone will respond to your idiotic babbling and meaningless drivel. We won't. Why? Because No One Gives a Shit!!
I'll go first:
I took a nap in my hammock this weekend. It was nice.

I went to this restaurant in Tacoma, WA called Southern Kitchen. Tons of tasty comfort food. I highly recommend it, if you are in the area. I got a massive food coma and damn near fell asleep on the drive home.

I thought I made that quite clear in the first post. I don't want to invade the conversations in TOSAT with meaningless interjections, so here we are. This was intended to as place where people can post up mundane crap as they sit in their cubes bored to death without wanting to have a great big conversation about it with the concerned members of the DMF.

This morning I had to have a crap as soon as I got out of the shower. That just doesn't seem right. And I wasn't completely dried off, so the seat was wet...
I hate dumping after the shower. When you're all clean. I always get back and wash my ass again. Nothing beats a fresh ass.
Oddly, I just want to hop on my bike and race the hell out of here so I can get home and do some gardening. Weird.

the past few days i have been taking about 8 dumps a day. they aren't just the ones where you let a little out and feel like you're not done, these are the sit back and relax for a few min afterwards because you feel so relaxed dumps.

By the way, you can give a shit all you want. What you can't do in this thread is post up and expect anyone to give a shit about what you posted. If someone gives a shit, okay, but no coming in here and whining about what ever pissy little thing is sticking in your craw and demanding sympathy and validation. No going on and on about your little personal drama and yelling "look at me! look at me!" hoping for attention. Just spout off without expecting something out of anyone, because the chances are, no one gives a shit.

I've never overpaid. I don't like to.
Now that I think about the refund for windows, the large school credit, and the capital gains carry over.....the difference isn't all that much.

Oh, and did I mention that two days after removing said materials and leaving me with a gutted house, the one behind me caught on fire and the firemen busted my front door in to make sure no one was in our house and that our house wasn't burning down. No one was home and they proceeded to pack up their stuff and just leave, no note, no "hey your house wasn't broken into, it was us"...just busted open the door, left it wide open and peaced out.

Friday night. I found myself at Safeway buying dessert. As I'm heading toward the checkout, I spotted a brunette looking at magazines. I made my toward her lane. I looked up and found the checkout light was turned off so I passed. As I walked by, I saw the gentleman she was with. He looked up..as he was unloading the cart with his son..it was Alice Cooper. [laugh] As I walked outside, I saw the family unloading the groceries..
into..

Saturday afternoon. The s/o and I were driving home from the dogpark. We made our way through a parking lot in Scottsdale. I saw a Saleen parked next to a Ferarri. As I was driving closer, a strange looking vehicle fired up and started backing out. A brand new Bugatti! :D I looked around and saw a Pantera parked next to a classic Lambo and a hundred other beauties lining the parking lot. We were supposed to stop and get lunch but I had to hear that thing..along with a black Ferarri..out on the open road. Amazing how those two sounded together as they rocketed away at the light. I caught up with the Bugatti as he was turning. A 21-22 year old driving a million dollar car! ???
Today..Easter morning..I sit and wonder.."what if?" What If I stayed in the Air Force?
I could've retired today with 20 years. 4/4 makes me think everytime it comes around. I wonder where I would be if I had only stayed in. ???
Nothing to dwell on though. It's a gorgeous day outside! Time for a ride!! [moto]
I cleaned the toilet and the bathroom deckand the kitchen deck. It was a great morning. Now doing laundry. The perfect day for not giving a poo.
I smoked a big fat cigar on my patio and pissed off a neighbor by asking him to get his roof drainage fixed because I was anemic all last summer from the damn mosquitoes hatching on his roof.
I am taking Greta to the dog park
My dog rolled in horse shit, then jumped in my truck [puke]
I am taking shots of Tequila in honor of our fallen family member, Alejandro Pedro Menedez (a chihuhuaha) who passed on to heaven two weeks ago tonight.

I was sick so I have to catch up:
Thursday was sick and spent the day in bed.
Friday was sick and spent the day in bed.
Saturday felt better and took the dog to the park.
Sunday went to church and celebrated Easter with the family.
Monday caught up on all the work I missed while I was sick.
I woke up with a sore back for no apparent reason.
I have to go to the dentist at 0830.

Using the name of a fish as a verb always means to hold a whole fish by the tail and slap someone in the face with it.
Thus, "SALMON DUCATIZ" means to slap me with a salmon.
"TROUT DERBY" is someone's protest against Derby's pedantic posts.

In other news...
IRL is at Barber today.
I was driving home from the grocery store about 40mins ago and was passing over the I-270 bridge and this girl had her hazards on and was jumping up and down in the street for someone to stop. Everyone passed her by, but actually contrary to most beliefs, I am nice and quickly and safely pull over in my car.
Turns out this 16 year old, driving only 2.5mons ran out of gas and didn't have her mobile phone. I'd believe all of this based on, well, how the discussion started. I let her use my phone to call home, but Mom wasn't there. Mom didn't answer mobile either. Felt worse for her.
I told her I literally lived around the corner and would grab my gas can, drive a half mile up the road and bring her some fuel. She seemed quite happy and offered some money, but I declined.
10 minutes later, her Neon has one gallon of fuel and a happy 16yr old. I declined the money again and told her I ran out of gas 2 times on my Moto last year and I am almost 30. She laughed and parted ways.
Glad she got home safely and hopefully learned a lesson about gas.
I sure still haven't..........!!!!

I was going to pop a few flares, but then realized my emergency roadside bin was in my Garage and not in the Lexus (we picked up a new recliner the other day and I had to take it out so the chair would fit).
I put it back in the car as soon as I got home.

Sis in law is 25 and let's just say it hasn't been great
1. Three kids, no custody of any.
2. Two dads (2 with 1, 1 with the other)
3. No career aspirations
4. Uses her good looks to take advantage of guys (always has a boyfriend that supports her)
5. In and out of drug rehab a few times (name a drug.....she's probably tried it)
6. Supposedly clean for 6 months of pain med addiction. She went to a treatment facility that is often mentioned in the show "Intervention"
7. We will see
8. I am giving it 4 weeks.
We are being very fair with her. She gets 1 months free rent and then will pay us 350$ a month after, including all utilities and food (she is 5 11" and weighs probably 110lbs, not a heavy eater).
One last try to help her out..............

Just got word we got hooked up with backstage and greenroom passes for the Sublime concert in Columbus in a few weeks. A good friend of ours long time boyfriend is a manager (used to manage Kid Rock, Lincoln Park, Uncle Cracker). Anyway, he rounded up the remaining members of Sublime (minus the obvious.......the singer) and put them back together, found a new singer, and now a tour. Never been a huge fan, but who can pass on backstage passes as a guest of the Manager?

Spent the last three days of my vacation catching my 18 month old son's barf, while my wife barfed in the bathroom (She's 7 months along, due in June, sick, not morning sickness). Try explaining to a 1 1/2 year old why he doesn't feel good, or get to go outside when he hasn't slept longer than 45 minutes at a time, and neither have you. Oh an your wife is absolutely no help whatsovere b/c she is sick too. (She is usually a lot of help, and gets a lot done, just not when that sick).
Somehow I even got our closets rebuilt/customiozed during that weekend too. I don't know how I survived, much less didn't chop my arm or leg off with the Skilsaw77.

The sushi we had the other night downtown at this little place called Kooma was every bit as fresh and good as the Sushi I had in San Francisco.
It was actually better.

this really belongs in the drunk thread. I've been playing golf for years now, alright only 5 or 6. well I really haven't been playing according to some. I rarely play 18 holes, who's got the time and the attention span? I play 9 almost once a week.
I played 18 today, first time this season. I shot a 43 the first 9, that includes 3 lost balls! The first time I broke 50! Then I shot a 50 on the back 9, no lost balls?
Played well enough to make my father in-law worried about losing. we tied in the end. <--- this belongs somewhere in the best of? ;D
then the wife and I went out to dinner, ate too much and drank way too much!
My sister in law just moved in with us and I hooked her up with a bartending job at our local hang out. She had training today, so we had to take and pick her up since she doesn't have a car.
We go pick her up from the training bar (about 30min drive in rush hour) and half way home I realize I forgot my make the beast with two backsing brand new company issued Bold 9700. We call the phone, no answer. make the beast with two backs. Tara calls the bar and says they have my phone and I forgot to pay my bar tab [bang] [bang] (a whopping miller lite bottler and a Bud Light Draft!)
So took the sisters home and went all the way back to settle business and get my phone.

My commute is 90% highway so I fully expect 50+ which would offset the difference in price from if I got another Mazda 3 by way of fuel cost savings. This way I get to sit my ass in a little bit nicer of a car for 5+ hours a day.

I've done the math, it absolutely works in our favor. My Jetta gets around 44-47mpg on the highway.
The only time it became close in the mileage cost and fuel was when diesel was pushing 5$ a gallon.
I'd have to find my analysis I did, but I was still slightly ahead of the game.
Even if diesel was $6/gallon, you would still be $5+ ahead in 100 miles.

the other thing to consider with diesel is the up front added cost of the engine. I know on my truck (new) it added over 5k to the purchase price. Thats ok, as long as you intend to keep the vehicle long enough to realize a true savings.
my diesel F250 is still pulling strong at 220,000 miles, although i am starting to have to replace some other bits and pieces for the second time now. in fact, i figured it out, and other than oil changes and tires, my 99 diesel truck has only cost me about 6k in maintenance and repairs since i bought it. that works for me.

Remember that "true savings" isn't "did I make my five grand back?" it's "did I make back more than if I stuck my $5k in a crappy money market account and compounded 6% interest over the life of the vehicle?" Go ahead and factor in inflation, the value of the dollar and purchasing power in there as well if you would like.

I can't recall how much more the Diesel Jetta was verse the gas. Also, I chose automatic over manual transmission, which cost more.
I think it was around 4k more.
This car will be driven for the life of it. I am not one to lease or flip flop on cars frequently. A car is a tool and means of transportation. It will be maintained by factory standards on maintenance until the repair cost exceeds the worth of the vehicle or it is truly time to purchase a new one.
I want to see how long the TDI will last. We have done all required maintenance, etc.
It is about 2k miles short of its 80k service.
I just dread the 100k as that is when the timing belts get changed = the entire engine is essentially pulled out = labor cost.
They also change the water pump while they are down there even if it is fine. That's fine with me, 100$ part which could go bad and then pay all that labor to get to it. Also, if it is in good shape, I will sell it on ebay or something.
Probably not worth much, but something is better than nothing.
I am hungry.

Engine is not pulled for the timing belt. Alternator, ac, ps anb the accessory belt tensioner. Replace the water pump isn't a big deal. Just a lot of small steps.

That is what the dealer told me in the service department, but maybe that was just his way of saying a lot of shit needs to come out.
Also, I suspect our motors are different.
The labor alone and the timing belts was quoted at $1000, making the entire service around $1500.
I found a local VW Mechanic who is actually an ex MAG (Midwest Auto Group) technician that opened his own shop. Very professional, follows everything to factory spec on maintenance, etc.
Therefore, I am taking the Jetta there for it's 80k service and beyond. Should be a lot cheaper as he charges his actual hours worked verse how long the stupid book says it should take.
I'll be the good test for longevity if I end up getting one as I'll pass Cyrus's mileage in just a bit over a year after getting it.
Timing belt change doesn't look absurdly hard so I'd probably cover that myself anyway too.
Basically my vehicles never see the dealership again unless it's warranty work or I drove it there to pick up a dealer only part. It's part saving money and part not trusting what I see and hear go on sometimes at these dealerships.
but then again NOGAS........so why has it actually become a conversation.
Sac I broke your NOGAS thread. ;D
Diesels get higher resale value compared to gassers. Spend the extra 3 or 4k. You get it back when you sell. Look at the sell prices of comparably equipped TDIs compared to the 1.8
are they still worth anything as they approach 300k?
10 to 20% more than a gas model.

the engine is worth something.
the rest of the parts.....depends how old they are.
you can probably kick the body to the curb.
gotta figure the important extras under the hood might need replacing at least twice in 300k

I'm at 300k in 5 years, so the body usually still looks good. It's everything under the skin that is usually worn.
seeing as this is no one gives a sh*t thread how about this?I sold my car last night, its cold and wet and I have to ride my bike to work . I work in mud all day 3 days a week and then the other 3 days I deliver flowers. I will have helmet hair and be wet and cold 6 days a week.It seems like this was me 30 years ago...........when I was 16 and just strted riding!

wasn't Frontier. Spirit Airlines.
and airlines should just raise their fares, instead of adding on all the bs fees.
however, as a frequent flyer, tack on all the fees you want. I don't have to pay them!

2. went to change the mid muffler on one of the cars and found out that the muffler they gave me is 6" longer than the original. it won't fit! [bang]
3. I can't repack the cans on the ST (not an options with these DP cans.) so i went to put them back together. pulled out my rivet gun and the rivets won't fit. the gun is too small.

i agree with you, except where young children are concerned.
every time i see a car driving down the road with small children standing on the front seat, i get a little homicidal..
as an EMT/Firefighter, calls involving a school bus always freaked me out.
had that call a few years ago
school bus vs a van
head on
the bus took the hit really well
far better than I thought it would and far better than the van did
made me understand the rational behind there not being seatbelts on a bus
and
it was cause by haste and disregard thus supporting my general distaste for humans
we preach and preach about "oh the children, what about the children"
well
slow the make the beast with two backs down for starters and the children will be just fine
more peole are killed because we worship that make the beast with two backsing O-Clock god than for any other reason
ok i gotta go
gunna be late for work...
the irony
My wife has an 815 meeting every morning......if she is one minute late she gets written up and sent home without pay. Wed. will be her last day.
Wow. Is she a cardiac specialist? Does she manage the big red button in DC? Good luck with her upcoming transition!
On another note: I am: [evil] I intentionally got the owner all worked up by suggesting she do something that she knows she has no excuse not to and is not comfortable doing so but would be an advantage to the failing business. She yelled and the designers began twitching nervously. It was my daily dose of entertainment.

The few times I have been on school bus's growing up (Mom used to drive me to school K-8th grade and then in high school, I'd ride with my brother) they started to get seat belts in them. I think by high school, most had them.
Of course.........I was probably the only one that used one. I always figured in an accident with a seatbelt on, your head would whack that seat infront of you pretty make the beast with two backsing hard.
I opted not to wear it.

I hate the assholes that owned the two pitbulls that got into our yard twice last month. I hate that they neglected the dogs enough that animal control finally took them away to an almost certain death sentence in the pound.
I hate the assholes who play shitty eastern European techno music at ungodly volumes at ungodly hours and then smash my car window as thanks for the $1000 fine + eviction I helped them receive.
I hate most other assholes.
I hate people who think their political opinion makes one make the beast with two backswit worth of difference in their owns lives much less mine.
I hate bigots.
I hate people who will get violent defending their belief that the sports team from their area is superior to the sports team of another area.
I hate people who confuse being a spectator with being a participant. At least some people organize a flag football game on Thanksgiving Day before plunking themselves down in front of the TV to watch other people play a similar game. Fine, watch American Idol, but go sing some karaoke afterward or something.
I hate soulless drones mindlessly consuming on weekends who spend their weekdays judging other for consuming differently than they do.
I hate self righteous asshole who make whiny lists on internet forums that are entirely unrelated to the forum's reason for being.
I hate people who demand to remain ignorant at all costs. People who would rather give their opinion than ask a question, regardless of their knowledge of the topic on hand.
I hate people who's world views are so inflexible that they would rather die than change their beliefs, even when faced with mountains of evidence.
I hate people who think children are pure little creatures that need to be protected from everything instead of simply providing a roll model for these kids as they stumble their way through making sense of this world.

My Moto insurance just went up 75%
their answer as to why
We have received your inquiry regarding your renewal premium.
Your renewal policy reflects a statewide rate change. As with all insurance companies, GEICO monitors economic conditions and claim statistics to determine if our rates are adequate to cover claims. The results of our most recent analysis indicated it was necessary to increase premiums in your state.
Please be assured that we share your concern for the rising cost of insurance and are doing everything we can to keep our rates affordable. We strive to fulfill our commitment to provide the best insurance at the lowest possible cost.
Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
We appreciate your business and look forward to serving your insurance needs for years to come.
I don't get it and I bet no one gives a shit
I always thought that the incentive of being a good driver was to have lower insurance rates
it appears that is not the case
I think that GEICO or any insurance company invests peoples premiums to try and cover their insurance costs.
Whether true or not, they may have taken a hit through the GFC and lost money.
You have to pay for that.
IDGASA.
I don't give a shit anyway
if i gave shit i would suggest you tell them you are going to switch to another agency unless they can do better than that.
bluff or not, it cant hurt to try..
Switched to The Auto Club of CA (AAA) two months ago. The combine payment for my truck and my bike are less than just my moto payment was at GEICO...

Another week and a half in a cast, then more scans to see if the bones have healed. Ended up with a broken index metacarpal and a broken lunate bone but everything should be healed up soon. I tried to ride the moto but that didn't work out well. I'm getting antsy!

just spent TEN HOURS trimming trees on my apartment property ( I am the manager, not the owner), ran a pole saw and a chipper myself and trimmed 12 HUGE trees. I can barely move. What do I hear? Hmmm? Complaints. "They don't look right" "I think you should have trimmed the front more" "shouldn't the owners pay a professional to do that?" "Why didn't you rent a bucket lift? It would have been easier."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No respect, and no appreciation. I'm in pretty good shape, but have spent the last two years sitting in lecture classes 38 to 42 hours a week. I'm not cut out for this right now, but did I get it done? Yes I did. Awww, screw 'em all, rent is going up.
The Doc
PS: I can't really just jack up the rent and it wouldn't go in my pocket anyways, I would just get more complaints. I think the trees look AWESOME!
Just have to get this off my chest. I know no one cares and I have calmly ignored it on forums and blogs, but now after seeing it on a quasi-journalistic news site, I have to point it out.
To not win would be to lose. Loose is the opposite of tight.
Lose is a verb
Loose is an adjective
Lose is pronounced with a 'z' sound at the end.
Loose is pronounced with an 's' sound at the end.

That 999 looks inviting, but not sure the riding position would do my shoulder much justice.
make the beast with two backsing great. 2 recruiters presented me for a position that is perfect, pays WAY more than I was making and has incredible benefits with a company that has a policy to disqualify candidates if presented by more than one source.
Shit thing is, one recruiter did it without my permission, denies it but also refuses to contact the hiring manager and explain.
FML. Ouray can't come fast enough.
Got pulled over yesterday on the way to work. Apparently when the cop asks:
"Do you know why I pulled you over?" (I honestly had no clue)
Answering:
"I don't know. Budget deficit? Its illegal to be a hard working guy just trying to get to his job?"
will result in only a warning. [thumbsup]

So, I leave to go to work the other day after spending a view days working from home and being a shut in.
Apparently the vocal draconian safety nannies in my neighborhood have convinced the homeowners association to put in these ridiculously large speed humps.
So now, instead of carefully maintaining a 35 MPH speed through the heavily trafficked family type area, I now have to come to a dead stop and creep over 3 large obstructions in the mile drive back to my house.

fine doubles in ohio if you are speeding in a construction zone.
Now that I think about contesting it in court...............you would have to pay someone to certify that your speedometer is indeed off as I am sure the officer tagged you with a laser?
I'd pay the fine and move on or if you have some extra money sitting around, fight it.

My wife and I manage the apartment complex that we live at, it keeps bills low while I work on my doctorate. On Saturday she rejected a guy and his wife because they didn't have social security numbers, when asked they admittec to being illegal immigrants. (They had been asked if they were American ciizens 5 time during the initial interview, and said yes every time). When she said that she couldn't rent to them, they asked why and she said she could lose her job. I also let her know later that it is also illegal to harbor and illegal immigrant, I think it is a felony.
Anyways, so that night the rear tires on our car got stabbed in the tire wall (this means you can't repair them), so we have to replace them. I take care of it, get the tire ordered, leave the rims at the tire shop so they can mount them and she can just drive it over there on Monday on the spare tire and a spare full-size they loaned to us.
I get up today, and the front right is stabbed!!! Now I have to pay for all four new tires, not just two. (There is no point in replacing three and not the fourth at the same time). I don't really have that kind of money, and my deductible is $500, so there is little point in making a claim, because the only result will be my premium going up.
Oh, yeah, and I am currently pricing out camera and DVR systems , and have to make a presentation/proposal this week to my management company for the system. Why can't this have happened next week when I have the cameras up already?
The Doc
because you rejected the couple this week
should have rejected them next week

Also, if she's willing to touch bacon, chances are she'll eat it, so she's probably not that uptight, fake wannabe celebrity type.
In my mind, if I'm even attracted to her, she's probably not the blonde-in-a-bottle type anyway... I've always been more attracted to girl with the dark hair, in jeans and a t-shirt, drinking a beer.

Why the hell did I think it was ever a good idea to start a business that works to empower people and help them help themselves? People don't want to learn how to help themselves. They want to be make the beast with two backsing spoonfed everything and they want it free and they want it now.
And oh, wait for it, hands down all the patterns I see follow very distinct established demographic stereotypes. btw, Men out there, you are spoiling your women. They are make the beast with two backsing worthless.
Say it Sistah!
To address the first part of your post:
Just hired a new "Blank Slate". First day was Monday, 5 minutes late, yesterday 15 minutes late, today on time but left at 1:30 because he wasnt feeling well.....the search continues....
Second part: I have friends that will not even consider dating American women because they are so spoiled in these parts. Everybody has attitude.
I feel like crap.
Have for the last few days.
Wicked head cold/sinus crap. Not letting me sleep.
Ick.
If I don't come back I'm holed up in a hotel or hospital somewhere.
I started to feel like crap this past Monday.....chills, headache and running nose....I drank 1/2 an iced tea glass of Apple cider vinegar on Tuesday.....Wednesday I felt 85% better. Usually I'd be laid up by now.
Today, all symptoms are gone.

I have no idea what I would do for free. I would hang out with my puppies and wife all day if a could. I really don't care about my credit report. Its only recently been half way decent. I've been broke most of my life, living pay check to pay check. Doing that doesn't bother me. I know what its like to go to bed hungry as a kid. And sacrifices like that don't bother me much. But I want to keep the house we have because my wife busted her ass to get it in the first place. And I want her to have the things she wants. She doesn't want jewelry and showy cars. She wants rescue puppies and chickens and a home cooked meal. And I want those things too. I just wish I could provide that without feeling like I am doing something useless and dishonest. But she is my first priority. Always.
Seems like its time to set some new priorities. Simplify a bit. Start thinking of what my next thing is going to be (because if I do this for another 20 years I'm gonna end up being one miserable son of a pregnant dog to be around). I think getting rid of the toys might be a good start. Finding something worthwhile to do with my time might be good as well. I like food. I think its a make the beast with two backsing travesty that people go hungry in this world when there is actually enough food to go around just so some of us can get it cheap. Perhaps spending some time at the local food bank is in order.

Mid-Life Crisis onset?
Maybe not the right tread for this but Sac Duc made me think of something.
My grandfather died last week. I spent 50% of my childhood with him. He worked his life as a machinist at Pratt and Whitney. Came from a poor farming community in south Georgia to the ritz of south Florida. He never drove a nice/new car. Raised his family in a three bedroom house in a regular neighborhood. He could give a shit about having anything materialistic. He was a deacon and sunday school teacher at our church for 30 years. He lived for his family. He looked for people in need and helped them. If there was something he had and somebody needed it, he could not get it to them fast enough.
So, like Sac questions so do I - Why do we kill ourselves in jobs working 60 hrs a week, never taking a vacation; to climb the latter and do the look what I have, look what I achieved.
It's not a new story, people have been in this same boat for a while. I guess you just have to find your own answer.
That's what has been in my head this week.
Yesterday a tweaker OD'd in our parking lot. A shit I did not give. I called 911 and the whambulance came and took him away......... but he was lucky I didn't kick him in the neck while he was down.

It would have been a preemptive kick. The friend of the guy who got carted away yesterday.... was back to dealing in the parking lot today.

A buddy of mine who used to sell drugs, OD'd 3 weeks ago. When he started selling drugs a couple months ago I told him it was absolutely RIDICULOUS and that he was an idiot. He told me that he was "too smart for the cops", so I told him to loose my phone number.
He called me from the hospital two weeks ago, told me what happend, and I couldn't even bring myself to say "I told you so"
It made me so sad, and I felt a little bit responsible. For the last week or so, everytime I see a bum or drug addict (which is frequently because I have been volunteering in a public hospital in Newark) I can't help but think that these people are someones child, someones mother or father, someones friend... and NOGAS. I say a silent prayer and just keep going. What else can I do? It's like I have to not give a shit or I will go crazy...

not quite so conspiracy theory related.... many of the same people who cry that we don't do enough for the homeless also are the ones leading rather large lawsuites about not "detaining" (their word) them. I have found it's mostly pressure from bottom up, not top down. Of course if housing for mentally ill weren't so deplorable those fights wouldn't have happened. There are millions in fed grants all the time... we (local jurisdiction) just lost one because nobody could get their thumbs out of their asses to decide what to do with the $.

Its official, I HATE the F'ing snow. Pulled a muscle in my back shoveling so I stopped. I thought that if I got enough momentum I could make it through the 2 1/2' high bank the plow made but I could not! The car got stuck, I cracked my bumper and missed the first organic chem lab of the semester.
While trying to dig the car out, my neighbor just stood there and watched. He was 15' away and he just stood there with a dumb look on his face. After about 45 min I was dripping sweat in 26°F weather and I gave up. I went into my back yard, got the old Christmas tree that said asshole neighbor threw onto my property, and threw it on his front lawn.
This is the last time I will let him dump shit in my yard. make the beast with two backs that guy
I forgot to mention that the asshole has a plow!!! A brand new F-250 with a plow. I helped him install 3 windows over the summer, when he tried to pay me I told him "don't worry about it, thats what neighbors do"
F@#$ I am so pissed [bang]

Our town plow boys created 3 cardio-vascular Walls of Death at the foot of my driveway today
they came through at 11 a.m. I thought they were done with our street
I waited until 2 pm before I tackled WOD #1 just to be sure
then at 3 pm a new 4 foot high 8 foot-wide packed sludge snow WOD about 4 foot thick on the driveway apron
dug that out at 3:30 pm
4:15 they came through again...same sized WOD....dug it out and parked my car on the street across my driveway so they have to plow around

Hell no! I get to stain a deck.
WTF. :P >:( [bang]
Why in the hell would you ever stain a deck?
It won't last. You'll only have to refinish later. Wax it and let it grey out. Because its going to any way.
Deck "water proof" sealers are a scam. A scam that makes you buy more of the same shit two years later. They don't work.
Use teak, ipe, white oak or red wood and don't even bother with a finish. Twenty years from now replace rotting boards as needed.
I have to agree and I don't even have a deck. [thumbsup] 64 degrees??!! Hell, it's already pushing 90 and humid here! [bang] It's a good 10+ degrees over normal and it's the same every single day. It probably won't rain again until October. >:( Don't need to go to hell... I already live there. [roll]

Quote from: SacDuc on June 04, 2011, 06:58:07 AM
Why in the hell would you ever stain a deck?
Because the original builder of the desk stained it, so I don't have much choice. Plus, the deck is cedar and looks like total ass when it weathers.
The stain (oil based) actually lasts quite a while. The walking surface typically lasts about 3-4 years, and this is the first time in 8 years that I've had to do the spindles and such.

A bluegrass singer from CA who goes by the name Dylan Thomas Vance rote this:
He rolled out of bed and finger combed his hair
and put on yesterday's jeans.
He looked in the mirror and said to himself,
"I could use a little duct tape at the seams.
Yeah, I could use a little duct tape at the seams."
I feel like that in the mornings.

I just shaved my entire face for the first time in 10 years. The last time was freshman year of college. It was like looking at a someone vaguely familiar... that got fat and old.
I can now say with certainty that I am not like fine wine or scotch...
I can only imagine this ride picks up speed the further down hill you get.
Did you find food or a birds nest or anything while you were shaving it off?!

for something that only i give a shit about.
this whole beign single and dating thing sucks ass.
i found someone that i really like spending time with (besides sexy time) things seem to be going the same direction for her and then she stops talking to me. maybe she got freaked out by her own feelings, but seriously, not even a text saying "i'm done with you"
i want to run away even more now.
I hear ya... Been single for 3 1/2 years.
Girls are retarded.
But, I've realized I needed to be talking to a better class of woman.
I haven't been to a bar in forever. Your friends really are you friends, and you may find that special person in the most unlikely of places.

The rat bike has been sitting for at least 11 months with a shit battery and no winterization
swapped out the good battery from Jess' S2R
thumbed the starter 3 or 4 times
and Vroom cough sputter surge cough surge surge sputter cough...warmed up and smooth 800rpm idle
went for a 15 min ride and besides an unresponsive throttle for about 10 seconds and a couple 5k-6k throttle stumbles
all is running very well
I'll assume for now the stumbles are bad gas cycling through, the tank was full but the fuel is a year old
very happy the old girl is still kicking
congrats on getting the rat back on the road. [thumbsup]
Something I ate did not agree with me. You should wait a bit before going in there......
Molly's idle "hunts" now that I've got the fueling mostly sorted.

My "people are shit" rant for today.
Stopped off to get my afterNing [coffee], and there is this lady in line in front of me.
She has two kids with her, one @ 3, the other barely one.
The one year old, can barely stand on her own, is wearing this monkey backpack (more stuffed animal that straps on like a backpack) with a long tail that serves as a leash.
(side note... If you have not trained your kids well enough, or you are such an incompetent parent that you need to keep your kids on a leash like a dog, maybe you are not ready to take them out in public)
Back to the monkey on this little girls back... this tail is @ 4' long. Every time the mom turns or switches hands as she talks on her phone, the leash tail wraps around the kids neck... Mom doesn't have a clue why her daughter keeps tugging on the leash. >:( >:( >:(
Ignores my hints (hey lady, your girl is choking!!!)... Phone call (about the party last night) is far more important.

Me to industry course certification staff: I have sent multiple questions about your content (missing links, discrepancies between directions, obsolete info., etc.) and need to have answers before taking the test on Monday at the conference.
Staffer (director): The people who can answer are at the conference venue setting up. They'll get back with you after they return from the conference.
Me: So the questions I have, that I'm going to be tested on on Monday, won't get answered until after Monday?

seriously my 28 year old nephew is on my very last nerve & i see pain being inflicted on him in his immediate future...back to your regularly scheduled programming...
Conversation between me and a client who called this morning:
him: i just had a box of Acme company's product delivered that's on my desk and i need an order of it.
(side note: we're an agent of "acme" company)
me: you need an order of it but you just received a box of it? So you need another?
him: no. i just got the box but need it.
me: I'm sorry but I'm not following you. And come to think of it, you're not signed up for that product.
him: I know but my customer wants it.
me: (inside my head: "WTF?!") With filter turned on: "ok, your customer wants that product, you somehow received a box of it... and you're calling me for a box of it? Again, I apologize if I'm not fully understanding what you're trying to tell me"
him: the box is empty. my customer brought it in. he got it somewhere else. he wants more.
[bang] [laugh]

I lost a 5 dollar bet today...
major client call with our deal team...
I bet the deal team manager that he couldn't use the term "dangling chad" over the course of the bid review dialog with the customer
he did, the bastard slipped it in....I had to go on mute I was laughing so hard...
meanwhile our deal team is all on web meeting behind the call
they were all typing "what the hell was that about?"
its now his turn to throw one at me for the next call
I made the mistake of sitting on a Multistrada S today........I hate the old ones but this thing is awesome........I shouldn't have done that.
A minivan pulled over to let me pass even though I wasn't tailgating. Because I rock. \m/
Many of you know I travel quite a bit for work.
I think I may have had the closest call to a really bad day on an airplane today.
We are on approach like normal, heading down to the runway, which is nearly in sight, when the pilot brings the nose up and throttles up the engines.
We circle back around and give it another go.
This time, the pilot remembers to put the landing gear down and we land smoothly.

The flight crew advised us that "there was another aircraft that hadn't quite cleared the runway, so we thought we'd circle back around..." [roll]
And they conveniently left the cockpit door closed while we deplaned.
For some reason I agreed to help a friend move. She has not found a new place and must be out of the current one by Sunday. I think the plan is to put it all in storage. This friend is not the organized or thoughtful type. This means I will work hard all day and she will not offer to get coffee or food.

I used to torture a disliked co-worker. He tried to be my boss but I already had one.
He was an asshole. He had badly thinning hair and he would do a Donald Trump sorta puff-up on it and otherwise try to give it the illusion of having more body than was actually there.
He was the account director on Lehman Brothers....their IT operation was across the river from Manhattan in Jersey City.....
2 ways to get there from Manhattan...water taxi or the Path Tubes (subway)
He always would insist that I come with him.... since between the 2 of us I was the only one who knew what he was talking about.
He would always want to take the Path....I would insist on the water taxi and then I would stand out on the deck...
since he would want to natter and lecture me on how the meeting should go he had to brave the winds on deck...
it was fun to watch him try to sort his hair out when we got to dock....after the walk over to Lehman's offices I would wait until we were in the elevator
and I would tell him his hair was a little messed up....he would silently freak-out as he tried to get his Trump going again
I closed a deal for him once with Lehman and he insisted that he buy lunch....back in Manhattan....
I told him the Grill Room at Smith and Wollensky's would be good since it was by our offices at the time
sitting at lunch... him across from me telling me all the wonderful things he needed me to do so he could make more money on Lehman
all of a sudden he stops...drops his fork....looks at me in horror/shock and clutches his throat...very noisy in the Grill Room
I studied his face for a moment and asked him if he was choking and couldn't breathe
he nodded yes as panic completely seized him...I asked him if he wanted me to give him the Heimlich..... he nodded emphatically.... now really desperate
I paused eyeing him as I forked one more piece of steak into my mouth and got up, walked around the table and did the Heimlich and he cleared
I went back to my side, sat down and continued eating...he was sucking down air and said "you saved my life"
I looked up at him and said "stop being dramatic, I wasn't about to cover this lunch tab"
Our relationship turned a corner after that...he was appropriately nervous around me
well that's my contribution for the week...back to weasel-wording Bid Responses now......

F'n people.
E-mail exchange from my manager's manager this afternoon in reference to an error I corrected him on last week.
Him: I'm debating what the MPGe stands for on the Prius plug in (he thought it was electric, it's equivalent). Not that I doubt your wisdom, but are you sure of its definition?
Me: I'm absolutely sure that it stands for equivalent. Head to www.fueleconomy.gov (//http://) for more info.
Him: I never doubted you.

Asheville Report:
-Rodent shed is gone
-Vermin watering hole filled in with soil,
-Dirt cellar completely emptied of junk and detritus
-Living room re-plastered (never again) mess not worth the cost I will spackle the other rooms rather than put up with a re-plaster as much as I hate to work with muds and plasters I can do it well
Exterminator report- rodent free no activity for several months inside or outside. He also bug-sprayed the bejeebus out of the empty dirt cellar to promote insect death i.e. brown recluse spiders etc
Interesting basement finds: Antique Scabbard.....no sword. 3 large chestnut planks. No dead body limbs sticking out of the dirt.
No bad progress for 2 weeks
What worked for the rodent issue? We used pro model bait boxes at my hunt club cabin. No more squirrel sized rats, woo hoo!
poison bait boxes with peanut butter flavored blue poison packets skewered in them
also elimination of all food, water and shelter sources
I am sure the remaining ones are partying at someone else's house in the neighborhood
A good friend of mine moved from Oregon to Washington in 2004, and sent me a Christmas card with his Washington phone number.
Then shortly afterward, he moved to a different town to help his mom out, didn't get the number.
I figured I'd lost touch forever.
His name is *really* common....
Looking through my address book, saw the card, and figured I'd Google for his phone number in the town on his 2004 Christmas card.
Showed the same number as what's on the card.
Called it and he's been there the whole time.
:(
But hey...I've re-established contact. :)

All of a sudden I felt my leg getting warm...
I was like, "Whoa..!!!" :o
It was only his second time using the potty like a "Big Boy"... He had gotten some in the bowl, and was so excited, he turned around to tell me before he was actually done going. [laugh]
He was like "Wook, wook, Mr. Wyan!!!"... ;D

I have paid for my sins.
I have no feelings of guilt.
I love my wife, my family, and friends.
I have done some terrible things and am not proud of them.
I have moved on hoping to save what I can. I have a really good job. 4 Ducs in the garage. A safe full of guns. But you know something, the most important thing in my life is not my bikes. Not my guns. Not money. Not anything you can buy in a store. It is my wife.
I almost make the beast with two backsed that up. I admit it. In the process I hurt a lot of people. For that I am truly sorry.
But now the past has yet again appeared and I will probably lose it all.
I know I brought this upon myself and again have paid for my sins and have gotten over the guilt.
I don't expect anyone to give a shit. Just wanted to share the beginning of what will be a really shitty make the beast with two backsin day. I honestly hope everyone else's is better.
hmm..well, this was an interesting post that i missed until this very moment...just because im a curious person, who exactly did you make payment to for your "sins"?.. the people that you hurt, presumably very badly, do they feel as though you have truly felt the pain you inflicted upon them & have made amends to them? or do you think maybe they feel as though you just ran away from their pain & ran off to lick your own wounds, tail tucked between your legs, not truly ever acknowledging the state in which you left things? ..just a question.. because many times the person in the wrong feels as though theyve "paid", but the person left hurting would disagree completely....
people make mistakes all the time & forgiveness is given when the forgiver feels like they have truly been heard & acknowledged & not discounted.. but when someone just says "oops sorry, gonna run away now & pretend you never existed"..that is not "paying for your sins"...not to say that's the case here...but then again, maybe it is..

Iris DeMent : God May Forgive You (But I Won't) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpQNLZRcNA4&feature=related#)
Still at work.
Was dragged into a "meeting" with the client where a guy was complaining that we had not properly "trained" them to do something.
Explained how the guy was clueless about what was really going on (in better terms so as not to be fired).
Ended up having to setup a meeting so that the guy that is supposed to be coordinating everything finally gets a clue.

Iris DeMent : God May Forgive You (But I Won't)
That's some awesome stuff there. [beer]
yup it is...
everyone is just chock full of remorse...but usually AFTER they're busted
you don't see a whole lot of pre-emptive remorse and regret in this world
unless someone is on their deathbed
desperately hedging their bets against some notion of a judgement day
the idea of leaving all your worldly physical things behind (including your carcass)
affords you a marvelous perspective and clarity
on what non-material things you are taking with you on your new adventure
into the unknown since the physical and tangible is now immaterial
all you are left with is the unvarnished and un-discounted or unmitigated sum of your deeds in life and what kind of human you were
great stuff to see, especially if you get turned back from the hereafter at the last moment or two
can really make the beast with two backs up what you thought was fun before then [thumbsup]
if you have been a gold-standard shit-head your entire life,,,,
if you're lucky.... a safe will drop on you and you won't have the time to mull it all over
a little 1am rat logic is exactly what i needed :) ...you are quite insightful ya know!
the insight was always there, the value of it was hard-earned [cheeky]
so are you in the mulling over stage?
yes...protracted....since age 35
did very little to deserve it
but someone or something
decided to keep me around
probably for amusement or something :)
well..you amuse me ;) ....so i thank the someone or something :)

It's really quite ridiculous...
Since I already have a BA, I'm not eligible for any federal financial aid. No Pell Grant, nothing! >:(
I might be able to get *some* state aid, but that mostly goes to minorities (her words).
She told me the reason why is, that the government looks at it like I'm going backwards in education. I have a four year degree, but since I'm pursuing a two year nursing degree, they look at is less education, even though the program is more intensive. [roll] [bang] :P
So, even though I was unemployed for a few months, only working 24 hours a week @ $13.00 and hour, and I'm getting top marks in my classes, I can't get any money! ??? ??? ???
Meanwhile, the 18 year-old pot head who lives in his parents' basement, drops half his classes so he doesn't fail them, and barely squeaks by on his basket weaving and drum circle classes, is getting (and wasting) my money. >:(
I'm here for a purpose. I'm driven to succeed. Anything below a 3.5 GPA is unnacceptable, and failure is NOT an option!!!
Does anyone else think that's a make the beast with two backsed up situation, or am I the only one?
I mean, seriously! I can barely pay for gas and insurance on my vehicle, I can't afford health insurance (and I don't work the 30 hours to qualify at my job), I can't afford to go out or even to the movies because my budget is so tight...
Yet, in spite of all this, I'm not eligible for Student Aid to go back to school to get training for a new career where I will SAVE LIVES, and help others have a higher quality/standard of life.

short trip

Still hate my job.
Got 2 phone interviews lined up and a face to face for Thursday/Friday. (One of the phone interviews is in your area, ML. ;D)
just got the yellow dog inspected for the riding season
I got talked into registering for one mountain bike race (the Whiskey Off-Road) at the end of April, which somehow turned into me agreeing (many months ago) to riding in a really nasty one (The Prescott Punisher) on the 14th. It's going to hurt (a lot), I'll probably crash (a few times), and I might very well cry (a little).
Oh, and it's not like any of you give a shit, but if the rear MTB shock I've had sitting on some guy's workbench at Noleen/J3 Suspension for the past month and a half (ten day turnaround? Um, no.) doesn't get done and back to me ASAP, I'm going to have to race the singlespeed. :'(
That'll be interesting. Vids man..

Walked into my shop today, greeted immediately by the stench of gasoline....in quantity.
WTF. Peek under and around everything....
Turns out the fuel sender seal on my '67 Cougar suddenly shit the bed in the last few days. Gas all over the floor, a spot about the size of a garbage can lid. At least it's only a $.68 part and a little time to fix.
:P
Started a new position at the same co different team working on informatica for data warehousing. I have 6mon exp in this tool n I am already supposed to lead a f'n project. Wtf!!!!

Knight,
Why is this so high? It's usually between 6 - 15 dollars. I have to give an explanation.
I have a strong urge to poop on my manager's chair and leave.
And the sad part is, I am actually having a good day. The dude just has this whole, "I am a pissant ass kisser yes man who doesn't care what it takes to get done, I will always say YES WE CAN! as I rush off to fight the next windmill, all the while building my own team's animosity towards me and making them all want to walk out." vibe going on that puts everyone on the team on edge.

Me too. I had an unexpected transfer out of my 401k as my employer mistakenly deposited non-eligible funds in to it for upwards of 5 years.
Unfortunately, I was notified of this in November, and wasn't able to adjust withholdings accordingly throughout the year to make up for it.

The stupid broken washing machine saga continues.
First of all, when they called two days ago to confirm the appointment for today, they advised that the technician would be able to call me 45 minutes before they were scheduled to arrive so I could leave work then, instead of at noon and sitting at my house all day.
They called at 4:05PM, and advised they were 20 minutes out. [bang] [bang]
Thankfully, they waited until I got home at 4:40PM.
They found the pump (attached to the recently replaced motor) to be loose, and apparently a timer that needed to be replaced as the machine was not "pausing" during the rinse cycle to cause it to spin out and empty the water.
They quoted me another $100+ for another part that needed to be ordered.
I told them I wasn't paying for it and that it sounded like the technician mis-diagnosed the problem in the first place.
Much to the current technician's credit, he offered to refund what I had paid already (minus the service call fee).
Now I just need to go shopping for a new washer. [bang]
Any suggestions?
Our Bosch seems to be working well.

I've come to the conclusion its time to move on. I think I'm going to try a bold move and change careers. Love the job, just can't take "Shit-Sucking Lickspittle" any longer. Maybe a little time in my own cube will do me good. Consider it a personal time out for not leaving sooner.
Having a hard time not just getting up, walking out and getting on the bike, heading off in some random direction and not stopping until I need gas.
Doesn't help I got this today:
Ryan,
We need to get you set up with a company phone for after hours on-call for AV and encryption issues. I know it wasn't in the original S.O.W. you signed but we went ahead and revised it to show this and I signed it for you.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Kurt
Me back to Kurt:
Kurt,
While typically, I wouldn't have a problem with an on call rotation, it was not part of the S.O.W. and contracts that *I* signed. And the revision was neither presented to nor approved by me. That being said, AV and encryption simply don't have after hours issues. In the time that I have been here, there has only been 1 issue reported after hours to the encryption group and that ended up being an AD issue not a Safeguard issue. If a true issue were to arise, those who need it, have my personal contact information and also know in what instances that they should use it. I also have email alerts set up with monitoring to notify me via my personal email and text messages when one of my application or DMZ servers is offline for whatever reason.
I think it is time that we sit down and discuss a few things that seem to have changed drastically and without my consultation since you took over management of the team. I will check your calendar and get you a meeting invite set up for later today or first thing Monday as this is something we need to get resolved ASAP. I would also like to discuss my raise at that time. I was promised adjusted compensation at the completion of my projects by our previous manager but have yet to see that reflected in my pay.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
Ryan
So he immediately comes down to my desk and says that I seem to be very confrontational lately and that he only has my best interests at heart. I said that we could discuss it in the meeting that I had just sent him and invite for. He sort of sighs and goes back upstairs. Next thing I know, he declines the meeting invite and doesn't offer an adjusted time.
Yay for someone who can't deal with actual issues when they arise.
BTW, those were direct copies of the email exchange...I hardly think I was being confrontational anywhere in my reply.
By definition, anyone who writes "I know it wasn't in the original S.O.W. you signed but we went ahead and revised it to show this and I signed it for you." cannot have your best interests at heart.
But you knew that.
</CaptainObvious>
Exactly. Just another in the long list of shit that will make it far easier for me not to feel guilt when I quit.
Any chance of going over your bosses head to his boss and get his ass in a sling for signing your name?
Yea I don't think forging signatures on contract is something companies like
forget going over his head, that's totally a labor board issue!
Not forging my sig, just negotiating my contract and SOW for me.
I have always been a bit of a conundrum to the team as I literally don't do anything that interacts with the rest of the team my manager is over. My position is more along the lines of what our Enterprise Info Protection team does. So a completely separate and individual contract and SOW were written up for me. Myself, the old manager and our liaison with the company we consult for signed those when I got hired.
The new one has the modifications and in my signature location it says, "Signed in absentia by Kurt XXXXXXXX"

Any employer who claims to have your best interests at heart
and isn't saying it while they are writing out a check to you
or approving your salary increase treatment
is FULL OF SHIT
You work for a shit sucking lickspittle of a coward. Being "Direct" is not "confrontational"....it is being "Professional"
Do not act-out or get angry...it is a far far more effective and devastating approach to calmly cite his flaw-ridden actions,
and then proceed to shove them inch by bloody inch up his ass with a clinically detached impassiveness
provide professional impersonal analysis as to their impact on you and the company and the company you serve
never argue your personal position...put their positions/actions on the table and beat them senseless with them
call it the artillery approach...turn them into defensive and defenseless rubble and then roll over them....
people who attempt to advance their ideas/actions/positions like they're battering rams ..........get doused in boiling oil
At this point you might be better served doing your exchanges with him via email so you have a complete audit trail that you can lob to his boss or 2 levels up
Another hard and fast rule is to never shoot unless you are certain you can knock them out of the game entirely
don't leave career-maimed or injured coworkers around...they will come back to haunt you
I just need to shit or get off the proverbial pot. The same cycle from the last job I walked away from is happening here. I just need to do what makes me happy and stop worrying about trying to put out someone else's fires.

Back on page 80 or so... I ranted about a low-ball raise I got. Turns out, some people here did GAS...
For those, here's the update: (since they're obviously in the wrong thread)
(maybe this thread should be renamed: TOSAT-light) anywho:
The low-ball raise got me to download the indeed.com job finder app.
Took a few weeks, but I did manage to have a couple 'hits' up my alley that weren't in bum-make the beast with two backs New Mexico. (BELIEVE ME... We've got outskirts here in NM!!!)
Got a call from the headhunter 2 weeks ago.
Had the interview last Wednesday (where they told me 2 weeks to make their decision).
Got the job offer in 2 DAYS!
It's another 5% more than the 4% I just got (or right on par with the 10% I feel I deserved back on page 80)...

Back on page 80 or so... I ranted about a low-ball raise I got. Turns out, some people here did GAS...
For those, here's the update: (since they're obviously in the wrong thread)
(maybe this thread should be renamed: TOSAT-light) anywho:
The low-ball raise got me to download the indeed.com job finder app.
Took a few weeks, but I did manage to have a couple 'hits' up my alley that weren't in bum-make the beast with two backs New Mexico. (BELIEVE ME... We've got outskirts here in NM!!!)
Got a call from the headhunter 2 weeks ago.
Had the interview last Wednesday (where they told me 2 weeks to make their decision).
Got the job offer in 2 DAYS!
It's another 5% more than the 4% I just got (or right on par with the 10% I feel I deserved back on page 80)...
I'm taking it!

9 minutes including pictures and joking with the guy in handcuffs waiting to go in front of the same magistrate. ;D
Or in my brother's case, 3 minutes and 34 seconds from the time the judge opened the door to his chambers to the time he pronounced them wed and told them to kiss.
Would have been quicker, but my brother had to translate the judge's words into Ukranian so his bride could understand them.
So on average, I'd say 5 minutes is a reasonable guess.

THIS.
I always joke that my (privately owned) company's upper echelon politics include three main factions: Family Side A, Family Side B, and the people who actually make us money.
Spending the afternoon re-wiring the truck from four pin to six pin trailer hook up wasn't so bad. Discovering that the wiring on the borrowed trailer is completely shot and was never going to work in the first place did put a bit of a damper on my sense of accomplishment, however.
My ex-wife can go die in a fire. What part of "I am so proud of my oldest daughter (my middle daughter). She wants to leave school and become a mom." sounds even make the beast with two backsing remotely right for a 16 year old?
I am so glad my ex-wife is providing such a wonderful role model for my children to follow.
The thing I loathe most about the ex-spouse
is that it is living proof that I was able to (stupidly) convince myself
that they were a "good idea" at that time
thereby illustrating how grievous some of my lapses in judgement were
I would take my kids out of there in a heartbeat if I could. Apparently, the law in Missouri states that at age 12, they can choose which parent they want to live with unless there are circumstances that dictate removal from one home or the other. Missouri also states that 16 is the age of consent. Asinine if you ask me.
At least here in Iowa, I could drag her ass back to court for an administrative review in which they would send a case worker out to investigate the home.
My oldest daughter's mom is a great lady. She really kicked my daughter in the ass when she needed to and we always reinforced each other with discipline. My younger 2 know that when they leave here, the punishment is up whether it be grounding or whatever.
If this was a high school yearbook,
My oldest: Most likely to succeed and survive in the real world.
My middle daughter: Most likely to make stupid decisions that she will regret the rest of her life.
My youngest: Most likely to hatch an evil plot to take over the world only to have her mom drag her down.
I got voluntary possession of my twin son and daughter when they were 8 1/2....wife was "tired of them"
I got full legal custody when they were 13 after 3 years of family court bullshit
the "ex" wanted them back when I stopped paying her the child-support...... even though they had been living with me for nearly 2 years
it was all about the money with her
I was able to salvage them....they wanted to be rescued
when they were 14 I was granted child support....the court slammed the ex with a straight garnishment....
they knew a deadbeat parent when they saw one
I shudder to think how they would have turned out with her "raising" them
My youngest has a desire to get out of there but she wants to go live with her aunt who spoils her mercilessly. She doesn't want to live with dad because he makes her do thinks like pick up after herself and help with the housework and not sit in front of the TV all summer long. I know...dad is a ruthless bastard.
Oh how the sky falls when told to wash dishes or take out trash..

Had an hour long conversation with a coworker last night about how I needed him to cover for me in walking a customer through loading 30 lines of a router config while I'm out of the office in an intensive training course. I covered it in extensive detail to make sure he knew exactly what needed to be done. Get an e-mail this morning an hour before he's supposed to be loading the config, and he asks if I can confirm that what he was saying was what needed to be done.
He had completely ignored everything I told him on our call and was going to reload the config in its entirety. Oh, and could I tell him how to actually log into the router and access the configuration area? [bang] This is a guy with a lot of high-end networking certs, too. [bang] When I send him specifically what needs to be loaded, his response e-mail is, "So items X, Y, Z, and A don't need to be loaded?" [bang]
Would be easier if I just did it myself, but it's been such a pain to coordinate the first half of the call that I pushed it forward anyway.
"You only closed 14 tickets last month."
Check my SoW, Micro-Manager Kurt. There is a good reason why it isn't included in the Service Desk SoW that covers everyone else. I have my own SoW because I was hired on to administer and maintain a system. The only time I should be opening/closing tickets is if the 2 applications I administer are completely down. I am a systems admin...not a helpdesk technician. Not a help desk escalations tech.
What I did do was coordinate 2 major upgrades last month. I also created upgrade plans for future releases, installed countless service packs and AV engine revisions. I created 2 disaster recovery plans on 2 completely new to the company applications. I created documentation that covers every aspect of the applications from basic helpdesk troubleshooting all the way up to manually configuring the servers and databases and their redundant systems.
None of that stuff came with tickets to open and close. They were change requests...you know those things that are created to encompass large scale/large impact projects.
God I wish this guy would self immolate.

There I was, busy packing for an early flight out of Phoenix tomorrow headed for my godson's HS graduation in Maryland. And I get the call: can I come back in and alter the ticketing website to reflect a bunch of changes that were made after I walked out the door at 5:00 p.m.?
I hate waking up for work at 4:30.
yet again, at the end of the day I am sent a few hrs worth of work and told it has to be done today.
ignoring the fact that i am already in high gear to try and get things done, that's really make the beast with two backsed up. This is the second day in a row and the 5th time in 2 weeks.

We are getting a shit-ton of rain in Denver.
And it is awesome.
My wife may be losing her job.
not many of those around...
May be losing my license after all. But I have an attorney on it. The ticket makes no mention of the actual speed I was going. Only that it was >20 in a 55. The DOT filed a notice to suspend saying it was a 40mph zone. I have read the code in relation to speeding tickets and it states openly that the ticketing officer has discretion in the matter but makes no mention of the DOT once it is paid.
I paid the fine under the impression that it was a non-suspendable offense. Had I known that it could be, I would have fought it.
make the beast with two backs the DOT.

My name is Rat900 and I approve of this practice
The F1 107 percent rule "During the first phase of qualifying, any driver who fails to set a lap within 107 percent of the fastest time in the first qualifying session will not be allowed to start the race."
But the thing that Bothers me about it is that it's the 7 percent rule, or it should be. Say your lap time is 2 minutes. Plus or minus 100 percent of that is 4 minutes or 0 minutes & 0 seconds. 107 percent of a 2 minute lap time is either 2:14 or -0:14
That is all.

yup had one on my back from the last time I was there 3 weeks ago
but I was on some powerful antibiotics at the time for a tooth

he took them to the doctor for testing and they are not Lyme'rs

So I got selected (more like told) to sit in as a member of this court martial for an alleged rape case recently. We, the jury, sat and listened to the prosecution and a bunch of testimonies for two full days. I was convinced to have enough evidence to vote for a guilty verdict against the defendant, a male in his early 20s. THEN, the judge decided to allow the jury to view a video clip evidence recorded by the defendant.
I changed my mind about the verdict after viewing the video clip. Hard to find the defendant guilty of non-consensual sexual activity when he was a part of a five-some (yes, five-some: 3 guys and 2 girls).

B) She missed her flight home this afternoon, is stuck in Oakland for the night, and so now I feel obligated to finish off the trim tomorrow.

But instead....

Let the boss know that with relocation assistance, he can have a full time bonafide IT guy on site providing 24/7 support and do it way cheaper than outsourcing. Not to mention I can optimize the builds so that you Mac junkies won't feel so put out by Winblowz. ;-)
First of all, he will only discuss anything about himself. Secondly, even if he did hear a word about bringing someone in full time, it would have to be a volunteer position. Seriously. The man does NOT spend money period (unless it benefits him directly).
There are a total of 8 people on staff at this nonprofit. He would like to operate with just 2.

I know you are being sarcastic but for those who aren't aware, IBM left the laptop market when they sold that division off to Lenovo several years ago. So what Ung. is getting at is the unlikelihood that the "IBM" laptop he will be getting would be new or if new would be a Lenovo.

Well STUFF YOU Lufthansa German Airlines >:(
Stuff your dumb-arse website which requires that the credit card I use for payment also is the one and only form of ID you'll accept for the travelling passenger at check-in. ......even though I'm just paying for the flight, not actually flying myself [bang].
Stuff your on hold phone message - "thank you for your patience, your call is important to us".
Important to you? Oh really? [roll]
So that'd be why no form of humanity got around to responding for the 37 minutes I endured your tedious hold music interspersed with hearing how make the beast with two backsing important my call is >:(.
I booked with British Airways online in under 12 minutes instead. Yes I paid more. Yes the flight is at a slightly less convenient time. No I dont care.

I'm in worse shape than I thought
I had a truly awful day at the forge on Friday while working on this carving set that is promised for delivery for a charity auction August 3.
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ecQBdslTNX8/UApD_XNAsII/AAAAAAAAA7c/riGS0OvY028/s640/IMG_20120720_111935.jpg)
First, I needed a much longer container than I usually use to quench the blade. No problem, I just picked up one of those aluminum turkey roasting pans and put a couple of quarts of automatic transmission fluid in it. (ATF is a less abrupt quench medium than water, so less likely to cause cracking). The problem? For the first second or so, the steel is still hot enough to melt aluminum, so I watched a two quart puddle of ATF spread red across the shop floor.
Second, I'd just given the kid who's apprenticing to the metal smith who owns the shop the whole rundown on heat treating steel - first you quench from orange-hot to harden the steel, leaving it hard but brittle, then you temper the blade to restore the metal's toughness and springiness while keeping most of the hardness. I was idly looking at a little kink in the blade and wondering if I'd be able to straighten it after tempering and must have put just a little too much pressure with my fingers, and snapped it cleanly in two.
[bang]
Looks like they're going to be getting a hunting knife for the auction instead.
I miss home. I've spent 3 of the last 4 weeks on the road partaking in some really charlie foxtrotted up business trips with minimal support from the home office and have logged 4 consecutive weeks of 60+ hours on the job. I've got motorcycle parts waiting for me at the painter (they've been ready for a week and a half now), and I'm pretty sure my cats have forgotten who I am and gone feral in the house.
MEH.

26 years ago today I was in Ben Lomond, Ca. standing by the steam running thru the park
The air turned almost like a liquid and started hitting me like ripples of energy
I turned to the friend standing next to me and said "my life is about to change forever"
I was right, 5 days later the shit came in fast and furious
and kept coming for a month after that
and my life did change
I just got home from a really kick ass ride on my road bike.
Seriously.
Here are the details to prove it:
Distance - 33.2 miles (that's 53.4km :o )
Time - 2:23:50
Average Speed - 13.9mph (there were a lot of stop signs, stop lights, and I stopped to talk to my neighbor).
Elevation gain - 1,070ft
Calories burned - 1,725
And I'm only posting this because I can. ;D

Average Speed - 14.1mph (Just a couple stop lights).

Calories burned - not sure....I did the ride in two legs, out - fish'n'chips for lunch - back. [cheeky]

I'M BORED WITH WINTER. ENOUGH EFFING RAIN ALREADY [bang].
Here's the weather forecast for my lone (dirt road) ride on Saturday:
Saturday 18 August
Cloudy. Areas of rain easing to scattered showers during the afternoon. Snow above 1000 metres. Winds southwesterly 15 to 25 km/h. Overnight temperatures falling to between 2 and 6 with daytime temperatures reaching between 7 and 13.

I make things much harder for myself than I have to.
Things are going well. I should be reveling in my good fortune. But...
I'm a guy. And therefore stupid. Most of the heartache in my life is of my own creation.
One of these days I hope I can truly appreciate what I actually have and not waste time thinking about what I want but cannot have.
If I figure out how to do that, I'll come back and let you all know.
"joy" and "happiness" are fleeting

Race was on Sunday.
I finished 4th in my division. I really wanted to podium.
I did PR by 10min. It was my fastest 5k time since high school.
Have been feeling a little deflated about the whole event in general though.
B wasn't able to attend due to Henrik's surgery and my coach was as supportive as I had hoped. :-\
It was comforting to know some DMF peeps were watching me on line. [thumbsup]
Sorry you didn't quite get to the podium. Had another friend recently do the Leadville 100 mtn bike race (100 mountain biking miles varying between 9200 and 14,400 feet). Missed the cut off by 3 minutes. Poor guy.

I feel your pain, Diva.
Parents and older brother (who runs marathons for kicks) were in town last month for my first ever 10k.
Older brother decided to enter. You know, just for shits, giggles, and to be an asshole.
He finished 2 minutes ahead of me. Apparently it took both parents to walk him the 20-something steps from the finish line to the refreshment tent. So who was waiting for me at the finish line?
Oh. That's right. The same person who's been waiting for me at every finish line so far: no one. [thumbsup]
Ha. That's not entirely true. My ex-girlfriend/current running partner was there, as she'd sprinted to the finish ahead of me. Thankfully her new boyfriend was waiting there for her. So, you know, I got to be there for that.
And seriously: if you're even in podium contention, you're RIDICULOUSLY fast and I bow down to you. [bow_down]
Just had one of those "OOOOOOHHHHHHHH F@#$! moments.
Those are not fun. :P
[popcorn]
Break-ins are not uncommon in our 'hood, there's a crack house or three down the street... (This house was rummaged through a few years ago by breaking a window.)
I left the garage door (alley entrance where the bums walk through) wide open. All. Day.
High end bikes (moto, pedal), nicely equipped Snap-On tool chest (unlocked), miscellaneous power tools, equipment blah blah blah..... all for the taking.
The bums and addicts and their hooligans must have had the day off. All is accounted for.
Garage is detached from the house. I let the dogs out in the back yard after work, noticed that there was a lot of light shining in the garage via the one window that faces the house. Realized it wasn't an overhead light, well, not of the light bulb variety anyway.
That was the OH make the beast with two backs! moment. (I had gone to the dumpster in the alley, via the garage, before I left for work - clearly forgetting to close the garage door on my way back into the house.)
I is stoopid and kair-less. :P Oh, and grateful. [thumbsup]
I'm quite certain I would have given a shit if some stuff was missing.
But it wasn't. [beer]

Threats from a pissed off condo owner today. He made them to our lawyer. All her calls are taped.
We garnished his wages and wiped out his bank account for back dues. He owes about 8 thousand. We got 3K. Death threats followed. This is the same guy that was beating his kid last fall. Our concierge called the SPD on him. Bully.
I will be happy to be off the board in January. Our lawyer is working on legal actions we can take.

my son once was living in a share in a tenement in trendy Brooklyn
downstairs there was a couple,,,,a legacy family of the old tenement building
the man would come home drunk a few times a week and beat on his wife
wife would howl and shriek until a neighbor would grow weary and would call 911
my son said the creepiest thing happened one day
he was walking up the stairs and he heard the woman shrieking but it sounded different...
and he had seen the man leave for work an hour or two before
so sonny figured she had other people visiting her and beating on her on the side
a few days later he saw the creep outside,,,,turns out the guy had a pet cockatiel
seems the bird was imitating the woman's vocalized torments that it witnessed weekly
my son figured the lady had found herself a special hell....
when she wasn't actually getting beaten................
she had his pet bird constantly reminding her of what invariably lay ahead

50 days without a drop falling from the sky.
THATS because its been raining here in FLORIDA for the past 3 months!!! (we are stealing all of your rain... you're welcome) .. and I barely have any tread left on my front tire so I'm scared to ride in the rain right now.
Yesterday's mid-Atlantic cyclocross season-opener is a race I remember fondly: the Tacchino Ciclicross (Turkey Cyclocross - back in the old days, it was around Thanksgiving, and my old bike racing team, Squadra Coppi was a bunch of guys of mixed heritage that liked to believe we rode like Italians). I was even race director for several of the race's formative years, and the team has really made some fantastic improvements in the six years since I moved away from the Washington DC area.
Yesterday, the U.S. National Cyclocross Champion, Jeremy Powers, showed up and won the elite field in "my" little regional race. I am way more proud of this fact than I have any right to be.
800g can of chopped Italian Tomatoes, grown in Italy, canned in Italy, shipped halfway around the world: $1.59
810g can of chopped Australian Tomatoes, grown here in Australia, canned here in Australia: $2.69
WTF ???
Screw you EU farm subsidies, I paid the extra $1 :-*
and if Ducati had an EU Subsidy? [cheeky]

There is a farmer market about 11 miles from my house. I try to buy as many farm raised necessities directly from the grower. Its about the same price as the grocery store but it feels good to know that good people are getting all the $$.

Went into work/NYC 3 days in a suit over the past week....which is enough to send me over the edge
Met my new director....Egyptian national
just back from Cairo (no kidding) said he was pretty tired....
my inner-Lenny Bruce/Don Rickles was ricocheting off the inside walls of my skull
trying insanely to take over control of my vocal chords...

Outside of my basement closet office where I work is a living room type area with a sofa. A woman is on said sofa waiting for someone else here in the building.
It appears as if she's had a long weekend as well. She took her shoes off (thoughtful, sort of) to lay down on the sofa.
But now she's snoring. And farting.

Work sucks... I was going to put in a late-breaking bid for a set of dual-sport rims (read extra-heavy cheap ass three-spokers)... stupid meeting ran over, almost late to school, forgot stupid auction was closing today, and the damned things sold for $40.50 shipped!
Got on my road bike for the first time in way too long (not like I've done a ton of MTB riding over the summer either), and did a short ride up to one of the easy passes around town & back. It hurt, a whole lot more than it should.
Hmmm... someone else sleeping on the couch outside my office at the moment. Weird. At least no bodily noises. Yet.

Got a new job. Everything I loved about the gig at the beer distributor but none of the things I loathed about it.
Looking at this as long term as they are grooming me to take over the Assistant IT director role when she retires at the beginning of the year.
For now, I will be the lead network engineer in charge of one network engineer and one break/fix/service tech.
Congrats on the new gig, Z

unfortunately or fortunately, not sure which, he was sent from my home warranty company, so i just have to suffer through it until he either fixes it or decides he's unable to fix it...
Another day in the Queensland bush with nothing much to look at apart from the odd wallaby and lots of trees. Bit of rain, now sunny and humid. Haven't even spotted one snake, that would at least raise the adrenalin level for a second or two.

Do you have the GFCI outlets with the Test/Reset buttons? I spent 4 hours the other night trying to figure out why one of the circuits in my house was down but the breaker wasn't tripped, and it turned out that one of those outlets had been wired as an extra breaker in the circuit and had tripped. It can be anywhere in the circuit.

My christmas lights got a bit out of control, and I ended up spending 4 hours learning a few lessons about GFCI outlets the other night trying to figure out why one circuit in my house wouldn't work but the breaker wasn't tripped.
Drove by the racetrack (NH Speedway) last night and they had about a half mile of crazy Christmas light display. Pretty cool.

My brother ended up marrying a woman that he met on that site...
I didn't give a shit until I found out she was a trauma surgeon :o
Now I get awesome Christmas presents and hear stories about sledding accidents gone wrong
A lot of people laugh about those sites but it worked for my brother and he has a history of being much smarter than I...
Im sure they work fine. All im saying os that im married until one of us dies.

Yeah, about online dating...
I'm in the process of re-writing my profile. Below is a rough draft:
On a scale of 1-10......how crazy are you?
If you answered less than "Bicycle made of babies," then I'm sorry, but you're just not up to my standards.
Let me explain.
I'm a pretty regular guy. I have a job, a car, all of my original teeth (minus baby/wisdom teeth), and I shower and shave on a regular basis. I'm looking for what most people would call a "normal" relationship. I want to find someone I'm comfortable with. Someone I'm attracted to, who I can fall in "like" with and go from there.
That... doesn't seem to be in the cards for me.
In 2012 I dated:
- A bisexual polyamorous swinger.
- A woman with clinically diagnosed PTSD from an abusive previous relationship. (Her service dog is cooler than anyone you know. Just saying.)
- A 37 year old whose biological clock was ticking so loudly it rattled my coffee cup like that scene from Jurassic Park.
- A motorcycle chick who drags knee at any opportunity.
- A recovering alcoholic, complete with felony DUI conviction.
- A new-age healer studying to be a sorceress/high priestess/I dunno what in some religion I've never heard of.
- An emotionally unavailable husk who was so shattered by a previous boyfriend cheating on her that she's unable to form meaningful connections with other people.
So, ladies of <location deleted>, I ask you: Can you top that? What sort of crazy do you bring to the table? Are you going to be the prime suspect if I should vanish without a trace?
If you answered yes, then let's talk! Let's make 2013 a year for the history books!
If you answered no, well, then...
Let's talk. You can't be worse than my exes. :P

So, ladies of <location deleted>, I ask you: Can you top that? What sort of crazy do you bring to the table? Are you going to be the prime suspect if I should vanish without a trace?
If you answered yes, then let's talk! Let's make 2013 a year for the history books!
If you answered no, well, then...
Let's talk. You can't be worse than my exes. :P

Nothing, but she lives an hour away and our schedules didn't match up.
Spent much of the holiday season piecing together a relatively respectable black tie outfit from various vintage & second hand clothing spots for tonight, and now Ann-Marie's too sick to go out. Even worse, I don't get to see her out in the slinky Chinese silk dress she was planning to wear.
On the plus side, this moves our plans for a winter martini party back on the front burner...
Sore throat and headache, and it's not from New Year's eve overindulgence.

STUPID STUPID STUPID AMENDMENTS!!!!
My arms are like wet noodles. All the bookcases at work were bolted to the wall and together. Some had 3 in carriage bolts while others had 2 1/2 screws. Almost all were stripped. I brought in the Saw saw!
The NHL & NHLPA have FINALLY reached an agreement on a new CBA.
Made silly relatively harmless mistake at work easily fixed no harm done, no-one would have given a shit other than that the people we contract to (government types) found out about it and made a big deal out of it to big note themselves and make the evil "contractor" look bad. They had a go at management who should have told them to make the beast with two backs off but instead I have now had to explain myself.
I have to share an office now which I typically don't mind at all since I'm on the road a lot and its nice to have the synergy of coworkers (usually) when I'm in. However the 70-ish y/o man im now co-habitating wirh apologizes for EVERYTHING. And it's only been one day. Trying to tell him that whatever he's apologizing for is a non-issue such as:
Him: I'll help you move that piece of paper of yours on your desk.
Me: oh that's ok, I'm right here I can put it in my folder after I'm done with it.
Him: well I'm sorry for meddling in your business then...
Him: you know you have messages on your phone.
Me: yes thanks I listened to them remotely, there are things I need to retrieve from them yet.
Him: well I'm sorry for being so nosey...
And so it goes.
;D

I'm getting married in May, so money is tight. And naturally my 2000 impala with 162000 miles has decided to destroy its transmission slowly, and since it has a blue book value in excellent condition of $1400 (and it isn't in excellent condition) and since all of the repair quotes I have gotten are around $2800 I am in the market for a different car. One of my best friends that I have known since college has offered to sell me his 2002 Sebring with a bunch of miles on it and a dent or two for $1000 and whatever it cost to fix the tie rod and ball joint. Both of us thought this would be $400-$500. He got the fix done with the understanding that I would buy the car, and the fix came in at $900. So now the Sebring costs $1900 which is less of a good deal, but I did say I would buy the car, and he would have simply traded the car in next month unfixed, if I hadn't wanted to buy it. My fiancee now thinks that buying the car is a bad idea, and should be conditional on passing an independent mechanic's assessment. She may be right, but I can't tell my friend 'no deal' and leave him on the hook for an otherwise unnecessary $900 repair bill. And of course last night when he was going to bring the car over, the battery died. And my friend wants me to buy and charge a new battery which he will deduct from the purchase price of the Sebring.
At this point once I have paid for it, I half expect the Sebring to explode the first time I try to start it while my fiancee points and says "I told you so."

if your friend & you were both under the impression it would cost $400 to $500 to fix & then that fix costs double & your friend pays for it....unless your friend talked to you about the additional cost BEFORE the fix was done..then that cost is on him... i understand not wanting to screw over a friend, but from the sounds of it, that might be what he's trying to do to you...cause if you check the blue book value, even in excellent condition, its not worth $1900.00....sooooo, you may want to rethink your position...
if a mod happens to read this..yeah, yeah, i know it's nogas, but sometimes people just have to pass gas [cheeky]
I can now understand where the term "going postal" comes from.
I understand it was from the overworked/underpaid/more likely to kill you in a shooting spree postal carriers and post office workers...but the reasons for driving someone postal seem to saturate all agencies of the federal government.
This morning, 3 different branch chiefs come to my desk telling me that they each have a new employee starting tomorrow.
Branch Chief #1: "I have new employee R2D2 starting this week. I have all of their hardware and account requests submitted and completed. All of the equipment is in the cubicle they will be in. Please set it up and verify it is all working."
Me: Sure thing.
Branch Chief #2: "C3PO starts tomorrow. Do you have their account info and new laptop? Is it all set up?"
Me: I don't see a ticket from you on this...
Branch Chief #2: Oh...I am supposed to do that? Show me where and how? I have never had to do it like this before...
Me: Well this is the process how it was presented to me. I will help out whereever I can.
Branch Chief #3: New employee meet Ryan. New employee starts today. I didn't see their laptop or account credentials.
Me: Did you submit a ticket for the new account and one for new hardware?
Branch Chief #3: Nope...Why don't you do that for me?
Me: Because as the hiring manager, it is your responsibility to verify that all clearance requirements have been met and that the user account ticket and new hardware ticket are submitted.
Branch Chief #3: You can do that for me.
Me: I can't. It is against USDA regulations for me, as a contractor and not a federal employee to submit ANY access or account requests. Only the hiring manager and USDA HR can make those requests.
Branch Chief #3: Who told you that? What's your boss' name and number??!
Just so effing annoying that 2 out of 3 ignore established procedures because the person previously in my role would do everything for them against the policies.
sounds like #3 is looking to get themself put out of a job by reporting the malfeasance...
#2 sounds aloof to various pieces of their job, but not apposed to actually doing them...
I'd say that you should spend as much time handling requests for #1 as possible so as to be too occupied to pay any level of attention to #3 !!!
yet no one gives a shit... ;D
Anyone care to try and live up to the threads name?
75 y/o office mate, who has some hearing limitations (understandably for someone his age) is now watching porn. So yes, the volume is much louder than it should be for someone watching/listening to porn. At work.
