  1. Brave lass she was. Went down on the ship.
  2. How many USB ports does she have?
  3. That's why I don't understand the call. Unless you have solid evidence that all the people in the room were dead there is no fucking reason that they should have stood there.
  4. I don't understand the situation. It used to be with a shooter you surround and wait until tactical came. Now everyone has rifles in their trunk. And most training has shifted to you show up. You find a buddy. You pair up and you eliminate the threat. I guess that IC still went with the old school thinking about this will.never happen in my town.
  5. Cottonwood. It was everywhere today
  6. She cracked that one. There was action in the stands too. Two 50 year old men ready to throw down at a softball game. I've seen it all.
  7. Damn. She cracked that one
  8. Now there is some asshole blowing a whistle everytime the.pitcher is in mid motion
  9. Maybe it's just him. He got tossed yesterday. He's still talking shit today.
  10. Hahaha. Wow Texas softball fans are assholes
  11. I watched more UDub softball than I ever thought I would this year. They have a decent team.
  12. Lauren Burke en fuego
  13. Let's go Horns
  14. Went to Qatar on a month long oil and gas project back in 2018 and that was the eye opener. While my company paid me 200 bucks of per diem a day and had me in the business suite of a the Radisson Blu and a driver. You had the manual labor from Egypt and the Phillipines that were viewed as worse than roaches and probably getting paid a dollar a day
  15. This security robot will soon take all your jobs. We are developing arms for it. He is waiting to go into the elavator.
  16. Yeah. If you are willing to live in the greater Seattle area yes. I will get you started at 90k
  17. Man. I get close to 50 bucks an hour changing light bulbs at the Amazon campus and we are completely understaffed. A lot of guys quit because they feel "under appreciated". I'm like dude, we change light bulbs for 50 bucks an hour and work 4/10s. You'll survive
  18. My first chief in the military said something that still has stuck to me til this day when I asked him why he was getting out. He said look at the guy above you on the career progression. Don't just look at the job he has. Look at his home life too. Ask if that is what you want from your life. If it's 17 hour days and working on your 3rd divorce then that's great. Oil and gas all of our old guys had that slave mentality where they would do everything for the company because that's what you do and their family "better understand"
  19. My friend group has talked about this extensively. We used to brag about how many hours we worked like it was a badge of honor. How we don't use sick days because sick days were for pussies. Then I started suffering burnout. Like bad burnout. A few of the other guys were saying the same thing we just didn't want to be bitches. But the mindset of being a slave to your job and taking your job home needs to change. It has as far as my friend group. Whether it was from burnout. Realizing that promotion being dangled was just a facade or just feeling it wasn't right that their children were after thoughts. Your employer only treats you how you allow him to treat you.
  20. Let me get on my soapbox for you work from home motherfuckers. No do not put up a fucking away message on your auto-reply that you are working from home so it may take a few hours to return an email or return a phone call. Cunts like you do not understand the concept of working from fucking home and that's why everyone has to go back. Thanks for ruining it motherfucker
  21. I've made 6 figures every year for probably the last 10 years. I don't complain about the pay. I don't complain about the work. I have a problem with the mindset the employer can hang over your head that you would get fired if you don't answer the phone on your days off and drop everything at once. When I interviewed with my current company I specifically asked about it. I told them I don't mind overtime. If you give me advanced notice I'm usually good with it. Hell sometimes even last minute stuff because it's a one off. I'm ok with it. But when you start thinking you can call me anytime and have me come in and hang the threat of canning me. That is where I draw the line. The guys interviewing me said holy shit. Nah we won't do that and they have been pretty good about it. My 2nd week I get a random email from my boss and he said hey we need you to help with some testing Sunday. I said hey it's Thursday. Easter is Sunday and I have plans is that ok? He said sure thing and that was that. My last company would have said tough shit. You're working anyways.
  22. Yeah. You see that a lot. It's the business group who trumps everyone. Boeing got bit in the ass by it. Everyone is getting bit in the ass by it. Shareholders don't allow companies to have long term plans. The concept of protecting the divedend over everything else says it all. They care only what the shareholder thinks and not what the worker needs
  23. I blame Jack Welch for all this. As head of GE he embraced the lean six sigma concept. And since he embraced it it became monkey see monkey do. The concept is great but on the drive for efficiency it cut out some of the needed fat to be able to absorb interruptions. I don't know if our people are just too stupid to see it or they are just so hypnotized by some magic number. I compare it to a heroin addict chasing the dragon. You hear bosses keep mentioning "benchmark rates" we gotta hit benchmark. They hit that number one time when every condition was right and sustained it for maybe 10 minutes. But since it was achieved one time. They expect that to be the norm. So that pressure leads to unrealistic expectations because no body along the chain dares to say no to their boss.
  24. Hubris. We love to pretend we are green and care about the environment. That is the selling point of many companies. We make all the bad shit overseas. Ship it back here put some nuts and bolts on it. Say assembled in America and say Fuck India for polluting.
  25. Jesus gets fired for his coworkers taking bereavement leave for his funeral only for him to show back up to work 3 days later.
