I just had the most frustrating meeting.

I have made a decision. I will be doing nothing. I will not tell my opinion. Everything will be fine. I will not be offering to write documents or proof them. I will not take lead on anything.... fuck these people.

I believe the term is quiet quitting.

My last words were. " should have the cancer education done for you all to change... have a nice day" we have to make sure that all the cartoon characters are in the right place on the power point.

Did I say fuck these people?

The last time we were all together we talked about having a best friend at work...fucking really.... now we need to leverage relationships to figure out their billing process. I am not a biller and am barely a coder..then what.... thanks for telling me and good luck... but the rest of these fucktards are sitting there like bobbleheads agreeing.

Fuck fuck fucking fuck

EDIT: the same person who told leadership that me going to the acdis conference was a waste of money is not only going but attending the long session which is 2x as much money.... and they had the nerve to ask my opinion. My response was look at the agenda and make your determination from that....what I wanted to say was ....so you going makes it a good financial.decision when a year ago me going was not....hmmmm...then she talked about never being to Disney and how excited she was..... she wasn't interested when conference was in Indianapolis....fuck

I'm sorry, Muffin. That's just a gobblecock of a situation. And after my last fall failed job, fuck a whole big bunch of co-workers. I'ma play nice with whoever is at the new job because I'm there for profit, not fun. And, allegedly, I'm in charge. So we'll see. But I'm kinda limited on what kinds of bullshit I will take.


I'm also going to keep my opinions close to the vest. No one needs to know what all I think. It scares people sometimes.

No, nor would I know where to start with it, either.

I have it as a "conversation piece" from a bygone era...

I have a feeling I know your thoughts..... we are likely similar in them.....

I just keep repeating... "a means to.an end...a means to an end " and " work is called work for a reason"

They really got me today though... esp the new girl who tries to manage me.... get out of here with that. I have seniority.... go kick rocks

I have the same.... my pantry is cold.

You have a pantry?
Do you live in 1957?

It's still used in rebuilding bearings for older machine tools. My power hammer has that type of bearing (Although this one was rebuild 'recently', so probably has another 100 left on this bearing build). I have one scraper for truing up bearings like that.

What's wrong with a pantry? We built new, and built one.

Thanks for the share... that's cool AF!

Just a couple nights ago, my Wife and I were talking about the pleasure and satisfaction of seeing our walk-in pantry (and freezers) stuffed full!

GOM, currently and earlier.
Despite the name change to "Gulf Of America" I'll continue to use the acronym "GOM" as Gun Owners of America already owns GOA.

Those cranes are approx 200 ft behind me, to give you an idea of our visibility.

It’s not something I’ve seen in a house built since the fifties is all

Earlier, when it changed from freezing rain and sleet, to snow... uncommon for the Louisiana coast.

You probably do know my thoughts. I'm having PMs with a longtime friend here about making it another 18-24 months and then "retiring," which means changing careers completely. I respect some of the kids who really know their stuff, but the ones who are all bossy can pound sand.


The landlady says they're putting in a tiny homes community up near town, so we're going to go to look at it today when she gets off of work. I'll let you know.

This is me and it’s important to fight the good fight. Fuck the cloud, fuck all of the apps, fuck passwords.

This is the movement that is happening. It’s why phone sales are soaring for phones that have 512MB. No one wants to give their data and most people want to protect it.

They are against big brother and big tech knowing too much about us.

Are you familiar with Loe Whaley's channel on YouTube?
Some videos may hit a little too close to home.
But most are spot-on IMHO.
Toodaloo

They are not uncommon and much cheaper than cabinets to build. They come in very handy for those who can vegetables.

This is very similar to a math word problem.

A train leaves Cincinnati going 38mph and another one leaves Chicago with a mass of 8837884782 newtons.

Where and when do they meet?

I like fig newtons.

She's living my dream... I don't have a pantry.
I have shelves in my utility room which is - less than ideal.

The answer, as with many of life's questions, is pie!

Cherry pie?

Apple, blueberry and 3.1416 are good too!

No good ole creampie?

No good ole creampie?

Not until I get home... 600+ miles and 3-8 inches of snow and ice.

I've got an old "disc" of Babbitt Material that my buddy gave me. It's about the size of a hockey puck...
I'll try to remember to post a pic of it when I get home.

I remember laying underneath a car replacing the babbit. Long long ago!

Today it this cold..

I think that means it somewhere between 0 and -20F...

Your temperature reading hits the 80/-20 rule!
