One of the great things about that sandwich I had Saturday was that the guy spooned some of the red pepper oil over both sides of the bread to keep them from getting dry. I call it "the moistmaker". (That was for Scarlet and Nathan.)

My sandwich? MY SANDWICH?????

Someone be entertaining. I have run out of ways to entertain myself. Yeah, I know how that sounds, and I stand by my statement regardless.

Good grief. My cholesterol jumped 17 points just by looking at that.
 
Re: TRP: Hail Marys And False Hopes

So, today at work was craptacular, but it was only sign of what the next month is gonna be like.

1. We have 6 licensed power equipment workers, including me but not including the 2 mgrs and DHead Boss (forklift jockeys, using USCHO jargon :p ). At least 4 need to be on a machine at any given time.

2. 1 is out for the next month because his ankle is messed up big time (possible bone spurs) and 1 is out for the next two weeks because his knee is messed up (both are non-work-related, btw).

3. 1 is on vacation next week.

4. Of the remaining 3, 1 of them has to run the UPS/FEX HAZMAT area.

5. That leaves 2 regularly-on-machine drivers, which I am one of them for sure. And lemme tell you, it wreaks havoc on your body after a week straight (8+ hours a day) on them. I've been on one every day, open to close, for the past 2 1/2 weeks. "Only" 4 weeks to go.


Whee. :mad:


Oh, and when we asked DHead Boss about training new drivers, he said that "we can't just throw them on a machine, it takes a while to ramp up" (but it's SOMETHING, you imbecile) and had the BALLS to say "believe me, this situation hurts me as much as you guys." NO. It does NOT. You are not limping around with your back hurting like all us forklift jockeys after a hard week.

Whee. :mad:

Beer time.

If anyone is in Boston tomorrow, my band is playing Copperfields with an Alice In Chains tribute band and a Phish tribute band.

Yeah, you can leave before the Phish thing starts.

It might be our last performance.
 
Re: TRP: Hail Marys And False Hopes

Has anybody here ever ordered a car part online that requires a core charge? I just did for the first time, and now I've replied to my invoice email to find out. I would have though instructions for this would have been included in the package I received as it wasn't included in the FAQ or email.

Either way, I just picked up an alternator for $155 after shipping costs. The same part was going for about $200 at the brick-and-mortars.

I had a dream last night and in the dream I MNS'd big time. It was definitely much worse than I have ever MNS'd in real life. And it was a weird dream, like one that I knew was a dream while it was happening, it felt like I was watching it unfold instead of it actually being me. Half way through the thing I was thinking 'hell yeah, I'm going to get laid in my dream' then I MNS'd and I was stunned.

I did no such thing in the ground school. Steep Turns of all things. Easiest thing in the air, and for some reason the only thing I never got down from the right seat...

I'm not going to lie, they weren't easy, but you'd think she'd set you up with another instructor or something...

She did a pretty ****ty job at teaching me how to adjust to the different view for all the maneuvers. There were several that I couldn't get down with her. After I finally got a new instructor, I got the rest down, but steep turns still escaped me. I was at a point where I even went up solo a few times to do them from the left seat just to prove to myself I could still do them...
 
Re: TRP: Hail Marys And False Hopes

Anyone want to work for me this week? We're only 2 people short of being 2 people short.....
 
Re: TRP: Hail Marys And False Hopes

Today is DRAGGING.

Also, apparently my turlet sprung a leak (the wax seal) and poop and other lovely stuff was leaking onto my neighbor's ceiling in his bathroom.

So $345 later, the leaking stopped (I think), now we're going to wait a few days to be sure, then I need to replace the ceiling.

Awesome!

That's a nice size bill for a $10,if that, ring of wax.

Indeed. The one that was in there was barely 2 years old (I installed it), and looked completely destroyed when removed.

They also snaked the line and I'm now able to say that a "professional" looked at the area and fixed that which would be my responsibility. If anything more leaks, it's on the condo association, not me.
