50+ thread

Also, good morning you guysWTH is this?:toyota:

 

It's labeled "toyota"... I don't get it....

 

We have more people coming back from layoff this week. Some people are starting a two week layoff. Staggered shifts in the main plant. Things are still going to be slow for me. Lots of .
PPE and sanitizer supplied. I spend about 15 min at the start of my shift wiping things down.
I'm just very thankful that both my wife and I are still working.

 

Good morning all, in reading through today's thread it is apparent our groups age. Not all but a large majority of today's new workers do not take pride in what they do nor care. That is not how we were raised or were mentored - the new work force can be equated to what our parents thought about us in some respects. However there are a lot more options for the upcoming work force to get away with doing less and expecting more, so the chances of them growing into who we all are today is less likely. Just my read on the angst we are all feeling.

I wanted to work four more years but with the industry I am in and the current situation I am being forced into early retirement (I am 66 but feel like 50). A team of us have been sharing our experience through webinars for the past six weeks on how best prepare for the changes that are coming and it amazes me how many young professionals are in denial and feel things will get back to levels of last January soon - WTH.

Thanks for letting me rant, have a great day

 

i thought maybe a smiley with ketchup on his face

 

Morning all

Going from business to business has us worried, but the higher ups are sitting at home counting money and telling is how concerned they are for our safety.

Done that. Both kidney stones and forgot vacations.

I have 6 years to go if the economy has recovered. My wife thinks I can start a new career making more money. She is always chasing the money over happiness thing, it bothers me.

Dad gave up his career for a higher paying job, hated it.

Told me and my brother, "do what you like but like what you do".

Me, I love my job, I am comfortable and will figure it out when I get there.

 

Google "Optima batteries are not the same as they use to be". You will find lots of "my battery is 8 years old and still works" but more my battery is less than two years old and I'm only third one".

It looks like something changed in the last few years not for the good. That is what lead to me buying the Walmart platinum battery.

 

It's a smiley face hugging a toyota emblem

 

Seems kind of obvious, just saying.

 

I believe its due to being mfgd now in Mexico

 

Morning !!!!!!!!

 

OH man, old fart eyes didn't make out the arms. Looked like a couple bites missing from each edge of the emblem. I can see the blatantly obvious now!

 

is it hump day yet

 

Hi

Waiting at tire place to get tires swapped over on wife's Highlander. Thinking an investment in a second set of rims for it might be worth it.

@MTgirl tire crap happens. You should look at your jack capability, maybe a heavy duty bottle jack in your kit might come in handy. We had to change a tire on Randy's big dually truck once with the camper on, it was quite a task and a heavier duty bottle jack would have been helpful.

But... super happy for you with the new camper. Glad you got out with it!

It is for me tonight's shift...but that doesn't help you.

 

What did they do now?

 

Nice hair.

 

No one can get that angry when wearing bunny slippers!

 

What happened ?????
