    What is more important... Salary or fringe benefits?

    Once I reach a certain salary I would rather have more flexible time off and other benefits than more salary. I move from job to job a lot because of the nature of my work, once you fix it you normally move to another company, some places get it and some don't. Some think they can throw money at...

    Fired for an availability change..

    New guys in the shop here rarely figure that out. When you are new or easily replaceable you pretty much have to suck it up and put your time in being like everyone else till you become hard to replace.

    Guntalk Podcast. A podcast of the nationally syndicated Tom Gresham's Guntalk on the radio. It's 3 hours each week and he normally interviews people from the firearms industry, both retail and manufacturers. Nice to see what is coming down the pipeline from the marketing people etc...

    Kayak for nubs

    Same here as long as you don't motorize it. I have a Hobie Pro Angler with the mirage (pedal) drive. It's more of a cross between a boat and a kayak. I've done a lot of fishing with it since I bought it the first year they came out, in 2009. It's nice to be able to use your hands to fish and not...

    I wonder if the backlash to what microsoft announced concerning DRM had been less Sony wouldn't have gone the direction they did. I wonder when they decided the direction they are going concerning DRM. Probably never know.

    F1 2013 Season

    I read it was a corner worker and he dropped his radio and stopped to pick it up and then he was too low for the driver to see and got run over. Either way pretty crappy deal, at least it wasn't on TV.

    Summer in Vail

    Spend a day after you get there not doing a lot and you will be OK. You will notice the difference however. I go backpacking in CO or WY nearly every summer and if I don't acclimate myself for a day or two I suffer the entire time. If I get there and lounge around and sight see a little for a...

    Buying a car?

    Multiple regional refinery shutdowns or partial shutdowns. Two are in seasonal turn arounds that ran long and a 3rd is having an emergency repair shutdown. I can't imagine the money they are throwing at it now....which is how I make a living, but we only service those along the gulf coast.

    Motorcycle Thread

    I had an original Bonneville and got rid of it when I started riding less and maintenance on it started getting out of hand. The biggest accident causer around here is mostly animals on the road instead of other drivers if you aren't commuting to the city on it everyday and instead just ride for...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    They do it because you see them at Exxon and Chevron stations getting gas when they are only issued a fuelman card to get gas on duty and fuelman cards don't work at other stations here. Jimmies rustled today when we had a 10% chance of rain predicted, got 4" of rain in just over 2 hours.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Everywhere I have lived cops took their cars home and were allowed to get gas on the taxpayer dime during work hours at places like fuelman etc...then pay for it themself off duty. I guess if the cop was on duty I see the complaint. But most places I have lived it's almost impossible to know...

    ^ That's a nice looking bike. Kind of been wondering when this thread was going to get a good bump seeing as summer is here. Going to look at bikes tomorrow for no real reason. Down to a Ninja 250 I bought for my girlfriend several years ago. My problem is I never can decide which style bike...

    Returning to WoW after 18~24 months...

    I fired up WoW today to take a look. I haven't played since the lvl cap went up from 60 to whatever it went up to. Doesn't seem like the same game in a lot of ways. Still researching how the new talent deal works and several other things. Looking at my stats I had 25,000+ PVP kills and less than...

    SEC announced today each school will get $20.7 million in sharing money this year. The Big12 gave out $22 million to all but 2 teams, those 2 teams got $11 million each. Not sure how that works.

    The SEC voted today to keep the "bridge" schedule for 2013/2014 with 6 in division games, 1 rotating non division and 1 permanent non division game. They said possibly the next time they change it they would go to 2 rotating and move to 9 conference games.

    I got a GED and went to work and didn't go to college until 24. Best decision I ever made was to not go to college right away. I made enough money at the time working part time to get thru school debt free and I didn't waste time partying and actually paid attention and learned a few things...

    I didn't even like the schedule when we had 12 teams, now that it's 14 I dislike it even more. I understand teams want to keep rivals but LSU really has no built in rivals and we play Florida every year. I don't mind playing Florida but it's not some great rivalry for us. The flip side of that...

    Nobody knows at this point. The 2013 schedule is supposed to be out this week. They are still up in the air in what they are going to do for the number of rotating and permanent teams. Alabama is pretty much driving the bus at this point that they like it as is with their permanent being Tenn...

    No, means they are going to rotate 1 team on a year to year basis with basically no plan until 2016/2017. Likely means GA won't play Bama again for at least 5+ years even tho they were the matchup that got bumped to make room for the bridge schedule last year. The bridge schedule was supposed...
