Been back in LA for a week and I think I have gained 10 pounds. Just when I thought I had it under control I got an invite to a cochon de lait this weekend. Here comes another 10 pounds.

The SEC network must have run out of stuff to do shows on already. Tonight they have one on the coach that was at LSU for a total of 47 days before dying in a plane crash.

I got a check from the original hospital today for the exact amount they turned me over to collections for. So they billed me. I paid it. They cashed the check. They turned me over to collections. I had it removed from my credit report by sending the agencies a copy of the cancelled check. Then...

They always want someone with more experience. A professor I know said when they interviewed him for the job they wanted someone with more experience. He wrote the book so to speak on that entire subject. He invented it.

My brother in law was a supervisor for a McDonalds franchise in south Louisiana and southwest MS until a few months ago. Not exactly a high cost of living area. Their starting pay is just over $11/hour. They had to pay that to get people who would actually show up. Of course for just manual...

My parents live in an area where the only code is for a commercial/retail business. There is no code of a home and their house has 2x6 walls which is very odd there in the south, and full of insulation. It's 3,400 sq.ft. and they are there all the time and average about $125/month electric bill...

Not worth a damn. Good luck getting anything other than lead/steel to fly more than a few feet with enough energy to penetrate waterfowl etc... There's a reason salt load won't even penetrate a person past about 10-15 yards and that's if they don't have any clothes in the way. It's a novelty...

Guess they counted where the ball went when he turns it stretches out. I still want to hear the official answer from the SEC next week on stopping the clock on a non first down pass. Then they huddled around and started the play like ummmm OK we forgot what we were doing. I don't know what...

Maybe so, still seems odd they didn't measure considering it was the drive that almost changed the outcome of the game. Same drive they wound up stopping the clock on a pass that wasn't a first down. They stopped the clock and ran out there and then said ooops it wasn't a first and reset with...

MSU got a first down on this.

I laughed.

That will NEVER happen.

New York state APPROVES $15 minimum wage for fast-food workers | Daily Mail Online Apparently it's just fast food workers if I read that right. Other industries to follow later. So those making $9-$14 in non fast food are fucked.

The good news is steel shot isn't required for grouse so you get a soft lead pellet instead of a rock hard steel pellet like you get in ducks/geese. Almost early teal season. I can already taste them

Resume padding?

LSU is out 3.2 million for the cancelled game. Then the AD opened his mouth about ticket refunds and confused everyone that they would get the entire ticket price back. The TAF came out and said he's a moron and doesn't speak for us. Well considering the average face value of a ticket is $25...

I very rarely see pumpkin stuff around halloween other than maybe a pumpkin pie at the grocery store and it's for a week tops. Maybe because people don't raise pumpkins here.

Not a fan of coffee. I used to work at a place that shared the driveway with the community coffee place where they unloaded the beans via a grain elevator off the river and then roasted. So 3 days a week this overpowering smell of coffee. Hated it.

Do people get an aquarium for christmas and then need stuff/fish to fill it in January? Just guessing. I can see lots of people buying "part" of a gift and then making you finish it out or giving a gift card to help. In the past our busiest time of the year has been January thru March and...

We/they didn't lay off anyone. I quit when I was told not to do the job I was hired to do. I was given the option after I quit to stay on anyway. I passed. I have a contract that last till the end of the year and the owner said they will continue to pay me and pay for the house I'm currently in...

They are somewhat like Chik Fil A around here. Pretty quick with people working there that don't speak ebonics, are friendly, and get the job done. That's a lot of the draw compared to some of the other places. As far as I know the menu hasn't changed in 20+ years since I ate at the first one...

I'm officially unemployed now even tho I get paid till the end of the year. I'm supposed to consult during that period. We'll see. Owner came to town and told me to lay off the petro chemical approach. I was specifically hired to do that by the president of the company. Apparently it was...

In Amarillo they have the steak house where they put your pic up if you eat an entire 72oz steak with "fixings". There's a fair number of women on that wall.

I've done two leases on property I own. Both times they stopped drilling entirely in the area shortly after. First was the big downturn when everything just dried up. The second was just as oil was starting to drop and it was in an area that is very expensive oil wise. So they shut it down too...

Guess I did, lost track of the post sorry. Rumors and a fair number of articles about Exxon buying up Chevron. I don't think the US government will alow that regardless of who is in power. Just selling ad space I imagine. I don't see it happening at all.

If you were in the south your guys would be begging for time off unpaid during hunting season. Hapened every year in our shop. You could give some guys 2 months off during hunting season (it last 5 months here) without pay and they would take it. It would coincide with your slow time, it didn't...

I can imagine secretaries talking about personal stuff, but how would they know about bonus checks? That's one thing every place I have worked is on top of. Everywhere else they get the outside company that does them to hand deliver them and you have to sign for them - right there. Regular pay...

Between this and the new ghostbusters. Pass. Worst part is young people will think "you liked this shit?"

Considering she's a democrat...

I dunno. I don't drink so that ruled out getting drunk and throwing up. Just eat what everyone else eats.

Is it really 42" by code there? I have no idea what code is here but the railing we do on platforms a couple hundred feet up are 36" by OSHA requirements.

I threw up tonight. First time since probably elementary school almost 40 years ago. Rustled.

Someone told me they planned to run it up to current day. I have no idea where they got that from or if they were full of shit. Seems like a stretch.

Back pocket. It's hard to get a phone nowdays that fits comfortable in the back pokcet. In the front I guess. But if you are up and active not so much. I'm not even sure what it is at work. It's been in my desk for 8 months now. It will "fit" but that's it. You can't do much other than walk...

Pair of Wrangler jeans or a Levi's. Considering I'm supposed to carry the phone to the shop or the field I don't see the point. I'm about as non hispter as they come. You can't carry them in the field via cia hanging it off your belt either. Anyway I just got another phone and don't carry the...

I get a phone thru work that won't even fit in the back pocket of a pair of jeans. I leave it at work in my desk every day and only use it if I travel.

There used to be a show on the outdoor channel, it still may come on. Guys would travel all the way to AK and vacation for a few weeks and rent equipment and such. Work their ass off mining on a site that the organization had rights to (gold panning whatever organization) and when they pooled it...

I'm not sure that is what they have planned. I was thinking maybe it just had a bluebooth deal to go with it. I don't know. I'm the 0.01% that look for a smaller phone.

Dead at 83. Loved that show.

No we all use windows 7 pro for a variety of reasons. I just didn't know at what point did adding more memory not really help.
