She is smart enough to tell you what you want to hear, but not smart enough to not get caught.
I have had a self managed job for 35 years. I have seen some extreme abuses. They always get caught.

 

Wow..... how some people think they deserve to be treated once they get into the real adult world and get a real job with actual responsibilities. Just Wow......

 

Useless trivia....

The very first experience I ever had with below 0*F temperature, was January 1986, I was in Army Advanced Training at Redstone Arsenal - Huntsville, AL [October 1985 - April 1986]. There was a severe cold snap for a couple weeks in late January, it was -20*F for almost 2 full weeks. The cold was all across the south. The cold was ultimately the reason the o-rings on the Space Shuttle Challenger froze, and caused the shuttle explosion on launch. We even had about 6" of snow at Christmas 1985 on base, but didn't get any more after that.

 

We run into this with young people constantly we have them wanting to be more involved in the rescue and when the ladies set something up a while back and tried to invite them to a meeting. The response was we throw darts on that night and can’t make it. They set up another night and after over a hour they still didn’t show but they were on the way they said the ladies said do not bother. Then they get mad and respond that they have lives. It’s hard to get anyone under 40 you can count on these days.

 

I’m stopping in and picking up a pickernick basket and heading to the woods. @dewayne you will know this place!!

 

I tried the south river a little this morning but where I was is very exposed and the wind is cutting this morning. So I’m going to hide in the mountains!

 

Good morning everyone.

Good grief! Here's to the speediest recovery ever documented for that injury!

You were much more patient then most would have been. I got floored at ' she was already requesting leave through you'... The last job at the thermoforming company was eye opening, as far as general labor was concerned. I'd say that 90% of the hourly workers didn't have a high school diploma and their 'demands' for pay rate and other compensations were out of this world.

 

Winds are getting crazy here! up to 50 mph they're saying.

 

My favorite. been open since i was a little kid. you can get the 1lb special. 1lb of chopped pork,pint of slaw(white or red) and pack of buns. @$18.00 gone up from $12 since the economy has crashed.

 

So true on all your points!

 

For clarification it's actually worse than that! She didn't ask me for leave...she already planned it, bought plane tickets, then didn't advise me of it until I inquired when I heard it through other staff! Yup.....I don't want to say they're entitled, but they clearly get their views on what reality is from reality tv or something....stuff that just isn't true!

 

With the cold and snow I think we appreciate Spring more. We can tell spring is close even with all the fresh snow we've gotten. The Sandhill Cranes are back. Geese are coming back, we always have some hang around and raise the little ones. Last week the black birds started showing up. I wish you folks down south would keep those damn things.

 

You can take care of your own problem...

 

What's worse than those black birds are the opossums and raccoons and armadillo 's that comes out at night when I'm on my way home. But it has been warming up very little and I've noticed bumblebees coming out.

 

It's slow.


And so are you

Online, not slow.

Well maybe both

 

The kids ought to enjoy making fun of your boot and scooter!

I hope you both have a speedy recovery.

There are plenty of those these days.

 

Just got back home from getting new tires installed on my Tacoma . These are 265/75-16 Toyo Open Country AT3 tires . I'm very impressed on the ride quality and no road noise

 

Breaking in the new pressure cooker.
MMMMMMMMMMMM
