I really don't mind conference calls because I'm mainly getting an update on how things are going on the other end in the field or the engineering company still doing a design half way thru fabrication. I'm giving them how much has been fabricated etc... What pisses me off are ones on Friday...

Visiting my parents this week. God I miss the food. Having a half dozen boudin balls I picked up at a gas station for lunch.

Yeah I love games with 6 on each side and apprently a majority of them have never driven a heavy tank.

I guess I'm out of touch. I've billed $150/hour minimum to draw caged ladders and did a few hundred of them and they take about 15 minutes to do or less if they are similar or just alike in some cases. I didn't have an entire staff or even an office to pay out of that either. I don't see the...

Finally got to watch the Biggio induction. His plaque mentions he holds the modern day record for hit by pitch.

That's $1,000 hour billed that doesn't mean the attorney is getting $1,000 hourI assume. You count people that work under them, the office staff, the building itself, utilities, I assume they have some sort of insurance etc...It adds up.

I have two guys who work under me that make more than I do. I only know of one person with a college degree, one of the other VP's here. The other two don't have one as well. It's not like being VP of a major fortune 500 company. It's more about having perks and not being part of a giant...

I worked for the federal government for a short period in college. I couldn't stand it. At that time they had no limit on the amount of comp time you could accumulate. A lot of the people I worked with went out west each year to manage the fire fighting for the US Forest Service and accumulated...

MLB is really promoting the hall of fame this year. You go to MLB.com and no videos or anything like that of the induction.

I like it, but it doesn't have the job security of a lot of government jobs. We're on an upswing now doing carbon capture projects for coal fired power plants to meet new regulations. I've noticed over 20+ years a lot of people look for a more defined and structered job. At times in a turnaround...

Check out this video. Guy shoots tank at one end of airfield. It ricochets and goes sky high. He winds up killing hidden arty ALL THE WAY across the map with that round. Crazy shit. I didn't know they actually tracked bounces other than it didn't pentrate. The important part starts at 0:59

We give a decent bonus that hovers around 20% of gross pay each year. However we have a very small match for the 401k that tops out at 1k since we also would have to match 150 guys in the shop which would get expensive in a hurry if they all contributed. We're a small company with less 185...

Interesting that you mention you were hired by another manager applying. I read an article this week on how at larger companies you have to get your managers permission to apply for an upgrade job in the company. That seems really odd to me, but I've never worked in a company that large...

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it and it didn't have it/wasn't available. My fault for visiting my parents this weekend.

Funny I got mentioned when I don't believe I have ever mentioned how much I get paid. Everyone jumps to conclusions based on what I actually spend money on when I spend a fraction on what a lot here spend stuff on. Congrats sounds like a great job with a great future.

Any idea how to get live stream of the induction today? I really wanted to watch Biggio go in. I had a meal with him and Bagwell twice in the middle of nowhere Cotulla TX twice. Don't have the MLB channel here.

I find it interesting that such a deal over what was said on national TV in the past as entertainment and people make millions by saying the same thing in music every day of the week.

I used to live in the boonies. I rather ride in moderate traffic. Around where I lived you got hit by bark flying off logging trucks, gravel from gravel trucks etc..

Less than a million. I really didn't want to post it since people complained earlier. The two I was interested in that I didn't want to spend the money on could have bought a house (depending on where you live) or a very nice sports car etc... The one I wasn't interested in went for less than 6...

SETI got a $100 million donatoion from a Russian. Think of all the hookers and blow that would buy and have an actual impact.

Apparently he's been removed from the WWE website and mention of him being in the WWE hall of fame etc...

I should have done something similar. I'm an Astros fan and they change from Astros to Braves at the county line/river which I can see from my house. Less than 3-400 feet. It sucked.

That youtube randomizes the order of your channel subscriptions every time you go there.

Yeah. They listed all the stuff he had and talked about his special Toyota that "could drive under water".

In other news, Abe Vigoda is still alive (he really is).

The media. They reported he a special Toyota SUV designed to run under water. LOL morons. Truck with a snorkel for high water crossing dumbasses.

Steps down, or was allowed to say he was stepping down. I'm guessing Sony wasn't all that happy after he publicly said he was going after the guy/hacking group.

I know I could take a serious nap at work with one of those on.

Thursday is national hot dog day. I heard you can get a hotdog at Sonic for $1. Not sure how shitty a dog you get for $1.

Collector, many were still in boxes new.

I like how you circled it because we would be unable to find where pube stubble was located.

Guessing the HOA would be against this?

China has other problems apparently. Chinese workers wear masks to work - Business Insider

Hard to tell, but the only gun on there that looks worth a shit is the Benelli. They always use the word arsenal. This week the guy in LA who had 2,000 gun was finally an arsenal. Lots of times they use the word arsenal I think, I got more shit than that in one room at the house. Sometimes it's...

Did a 3 person T95 platoon go hill on Fjords from the south? Happened to me this week.

Just found out when you get a tracking number, you can log onto UPS.com or make an account and change the shipping method or upgrade it for a fee to avoid that shit.

When I worked there 30 years ago you could order a Gran Mariner. Two fish filets on a big mac bun double decked. It was really popular, but of course this was in area that sold tons of fish sandwiches during lent. My brother in law (not islamic whatever) who works for them said something...

Cartoon came first and then the sandwich was named for it. According to wiki they also licensed the name to some restaurants. Dagwood sandwich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

They have about 50% of the stores KFC has but look at their yearly numbers. Their biggest draw, regardless of the food and I've seen it mentioned over and over on various forums. Is that the workers there aren't ghetto, don't speak ebonics, you rarely see a youtube video of a fight breaking...

Yes. Sorry to disappoint. He's 100% coon ass. He bitches to no end how rough it is. He has a high school diploma. Went to work at McDonalds after graduation, got promoted to manager then supervisor and now is upper management in the franchise and they have about 75 stores. He gets a company...
