60+ year old thread.

^^^^ Truth right there.

When what you do affects your life and the ones around you there is no room for mistakes.

 

Good morning all..TGIF...
I have discovered throughout my working career that the more you do to better yourself at work,you get rewarded by getting more and more work dumped on you to pick up for those that don't give a damn...thats when mistakes happen. Work overload...

 

Morning All,,Work place, not what it was. The wife was sent downtown to talk to the big boss of personal (37Y.O.). WAS TOLD THAT SHE WILL HAVE TO RETIRE. So after 41 years its out the door. She said not so fast here young man, I have to talk to a lawyer first. She talked to my mom's (66 Y.O.) Esq. on Wed.. He has a meeting this Am with the head of the Orlando power Co. He went around the young man in personal as he said talking to him is a waist of his time.. Want to bet how this goes?? Jim

 

morning all: learned this a long time ago. ^^^^^

NOW COME ON! "EVERYONE" MAKES MISTAKES!

And Jim: I know it stinks, but "take the money and run" really isn't that bad an option! the "honeydo" list may get a tad longer though.

 

Hopefully Orlando Power sweetens the retirement pot a little bit more.

 

All is well big man says it was all a big misunderstanding, Funny how the song changes when one skinny old ESQ. shows up. I told her they could not make her go till she was ready. I WAS RIGHT. She never misses a day and has good write ups year after year so how can they say GTFO just cuz she makes 4 X what they can hire a new kid for still cant make her go... Jim

 

for your wife!!!

evening all

 

I hope it works out for the best Jim.

In today's corporate world they can make her job really tough to take.

 

5 mo.'s of 67 all 68 10 mo.s of 69 Brown water rat in I core, DaNang, Hue up to the DMZ was all ours. Was some of the best days of my life... Jim

I do not see any crap now, One of the best showed up on her behalf,,, end of this crap as of today, She can go out the door with 80% today but she likes her job and the peeps she works with so she wants to work on for now, If she was around the house all the time I would have to go back to work............... Jim

 

evening all:



Amazing how fast things can change when a little leverage is applied !
good to hear that this is turning out OK.

 

Jim:
You are too funny. I am counting the days till the wife and son go back to school.

 

Morning All,, Have a Good one,,, Jim

 

Same to you.

We will have a rain soaked weekend. We need it here in the DC area.

 

morning all

Why do you guys think your honey do lists are so long....

 

They are long,,, Never look at em put them right in file 13,,, If you start that crap it will never stop.. What did Barney used to say, you have to nip it in the bud, nip it I tell you.... Jim

 

Because we create the lists.

 

evening all:
was standing outside a local gas station, when I noticed something on the tread of the front tire of the tacoma
found a bunch of staples in both the front and rear drivers side tires. must have removed 30-40 staples from the two tires.
just hope none went through and cause a very slow leak.
OR: that I don't have 2 flat tires tomorrow.
ALSO: got to check the 66. took it out today, and took the same route.
That would be great, brand new tires, full of staples !
maby got lucky though. I'll check them tomorrow.

 

That is pretty unusual Carl. Multiple staples in tires is almost like someone placed the staples in the road.

 

Morning All ,, Dam Carl Hope your tires are OK... Jim

 

morning all: looks like good to go, unless there's a very slow leak.
checked the "66" and didn't notice any.

Don't know where I drove through them. I go by a lumber yard on the way to the gas station, and they could have fell off a contractors truck ??????? OR; some idiot just playing games!
a lot of them were in small bunches, like when they break off from the strip. some were singles, most were 2-4-6 still together.
could have messed up 2 tires if they had been longer. would have been way too many holes to try to patch.
