I just spent a few days on the shore on the Keys. I could not help but notice that much of what I saw swimming ans sunbathing and walking around was considered porn when I was an adulescent. Not that I minded but I guess there are laws against being nude. I would have had to to gawk to tell for sure.

We spent an afternoon on a beach on the big lake. A lot of very skimpy bikinis. I didn't mind to be honest...

In rural France, the best time to shop (in supermarkets) is between 12 and 2. The French take a 2 hour lunch between those hours, usually three courses and using the full 2 hours. Most workers get meal vouchers as part of their benefits package, value at the discretion of individual employers, and usually worth between 8 and 15 euros (10 and 17 USD) at least half of which is funded by the employer. And virtually every village has a restaurant offering a 3 course set lunch for that price. Also, almost all businesses, bar the supermarkets but including banks, will close over the lunch period.

I spent a month in Spain and left there, a HUGE fan/supporter of "Siesta!"

Love many trust few always paddle your own canoe...

Behind the back tattletales can fuck the right off from whence they came....

Painfully.


No l000b.


Maybe a few razor blades . . . .

I think I just bit my tongue off...

Just got as far as your response...
I may have done the same while reading this
Hope you're okay - stay away from spicy/salty food while it heals up.

It is frustrating....

I have watched a few news segments on contractors not doing the jobs and taking money etc. There are some crooks out there. On the other hand I worked for a summer for a contractor putting in pools. We did one a week +/1 a day. I would start looking around and asking around. Money is too hard to come by anyway and then there are guys like you have there. It only sounds like a day or two job anyway.

I spent some time in Italy and they had a 2hr break in the afternoon. Good times.

Is it a no real Pic thing?

I suspect that and Naughty Bits.



On a pr0n site, FFS!!!

Contact him, leave him a nice message asking when he's going to return. If within a reasonable period of time he doesn't return contact the local police file, a report or go to the county prosecutor for fraud. But give it a couple weeks to show that you're doing this in good faith.

Pull out a notebook now. Document everything.
Dates/times/topics of all calls
Date, check #, amount, and when given to him
Keep all text messages, emails, etc.
If you have photos, keep them
If you don't - start taking them
Document all phases of the work as you go
you won't need any of it, but could help if you do

I didn't mind for sure.

I have no idea they notified us of nothing f****** moderators

You've been Zuckerberged . . . .

Home. Had a tough go with my old co-worker. I've been as patient as possible with him, but he talks too much, doesn't remember what we talked about an hour ago, and he really truly struggles to follow my dreadfully specific instructions. Really. I already thought it out.


Last month, we had a stint of a few hours in this one picky/sicky woman's apartment. She's a good sport, but have it done and clean and be gone when she gets back. Simple, really. Do it first thing, unfuck your shit, and be gone. Last time, he let the crew tell him that they'd get to it, thet got there after lunch, they weren't done and had shit everywhere and the 3-page bitch letter we got with 8 units on it, hers was a whole fucking page. I swore to the guys, him included, never again, and here's how - we'll do what I say next time. Today was Next Time.


I walked down the sidewalk this morning after a week's prep/pep talk about it and there he is, escorting the crew into the unit stack . . . next door. "But you said . . . " "I said, do what I say! You're giving your crew away and you're repeating every single thing that went to Hell the last time." "But you said to go in her place at 8:30" "I said, it's maybe 8:30. Tell them to wait and go knock on her door." Lol and behold, she came out by herself all of 30 seconds later, and disaster was averted.


I got a call from the boss with some cryptic shit about professionalism. Those always annoy me in a very special Somebody-needs-shankin' kind of way. That was after lunch. On the way home, he calls me back and tells me he's transferring this old dude and sending me someone else come Monday. So, my snake in the grass is leaving. And here I thought he had more character than that. Figures . . . .

People can be a PITA!... even if it's only 1% who are, the math on 330 million people is staggering.
Hence, I work on a fukkin boat, with 5 other dudes, which greatly reduces my exposure!

We can all go back to being the f****** alpha bit

But if you end up with a 1% dude on the boat, you're stuck with him for a month!

Unless you offload him to the fish...

Step the fuck up, man up, do your motherfucking job, don't bitch, and take/follow directions from the boss.


There's no secret.


These a-holes are all buddy-buddy with the subs, and that dawg don't hunt.


It might cunt a bit . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Oh yeah, don't work for fat people.


Ever.


No matter.


Just don't.

It is frustrating....

When I find good people, I spread the word, pay them cash only, tip the hell out of 'em, including beer and/or liquor...
I make damn sure that they know they are appreciated!

In the Ozark Mountains, don't even bother trying to get anything done during the opening week of deer season!

"Deadweight" is very rare out here and is corrected rapidly...
It's a very small world....
Divide 12,600 by 330 million... look how many zeros there are aft of the decimal.... that's how many engine room licenses there were the last time I checked.
Despite my efforts, I've been unable to bring a single young person into the industry.

I look at this oilfield/rig service EXACTLY like I looked at making cheeseburgers at the drive-in when I was a kid...

It's a "service industry" and if they don't like the way they get their fukkin "cheeseburgers" they'll get a different boat!

Good morning denizens of the cafe. It’s grandpa’s taxi morning. Clearing hazy smoke air but more stormy weather coming. I can live with rain.

As we get older we have to remember our physical limitations. I used to play percussion but tremors limit that. They also limit what food I order at restaurants. Soup is not ordered!


Have a good safe day.

I worked with an engineer who had Parkinson's.
I saw him trying to eat peas with a fork and after the 4th time his fork made it to his mouth, empty... he hollered "Dammit Bobby, don't EVER make peas without mashed potatoes again!"
