NBC Scraps Bill Cosby Comedy - Yahoo TV

In April my credit score was 805. I have no payments other than my normal credit card usage. I have one credit card. No other bills outside of that other than utilities and property tax etc.. I own my two homes outright with no mortage. I own my two vehicles outright. I mostly use the credit...

Thanks. I guess I'll stay in my flood prone area where people build their house up on pilings. If the water comes up you can still leave via boat.

If they keep this nonesense up about X is now rape you read about today the word is going to lose it's real meaning. Not talking about what they are now claiming about Cosby. But the amount of just true crap that some women talk about is now rape is just a joke.

I live in the south so....if you have that much snow what good does having the shovel inside do for you? Where do you shovel it to get out other than wait for it to melt?

You know that saying hello to the wrong woman is now considered rape. Did you see the video where the woman walks thru New York taping all the "inappropriate" behavior. Well several of the men said Hello and similar type stuff and were included in the video.

I should go on paid leave more often. I had one interview, another I talked to the company to see where they were headed in a new direction for their subsidary. Now I have another interview scheduled.

If you think anonymous people on the internet are bad. I went to a TAF (Tiger Athletic Foundation) meeting this morning to carry a proxy vote. I imagine all booster groups are similar. Makes your head hurt. Hard to imagine these people have the money to spend what they do.

Some time I will tell you about when I got hired by an agency of the federal government to help a guy do his job. He couldn't do his job because he was part of a $400k theft from the US Forest Service and part of his plea was that he couldn't set foot on the National Forest. But the US Forest...

I can't believe they had black Friday deals listed at Radio Shack on there. Seriously?

I never black Friday shop but I assume all these ads you see with a brick and mortar store are in store only. I don't own a TV so was thinking of picking up something cheap. Might just walmart it. Looked at the best buy ad looks like some is available online and some in store only. I might...

Didn't stand out till I read that Muschamp has had 5 coaching jobs in 10 years now. LSU, Miami Dolphins, Auburn, Texas, and Florida. Any ideas on their short list. I have a TAF meeting to attend Tuesday. This should be fun, like poking sharp objects in your eye kind of fun.

Like I said in my field of work it separates the people who are "professional" and work mostly in the office (I do some of both) and the shop guys who are fabricating. It's not even a money issue as some of our shop guys make six figures. But the salary guys have more leeway in a lot of areas...

I used to add $10 per sheet for every sheet I had to plot. Now I just roll it into the charge for the job if I charge per sheet. $235 per sheet for a 24x36" sheet or $55 per sheet for 11x17" sheets. Now if I could figure out a way to charge for 36 hours a day I would be in good shape.

Did people really have faith in MooState beating both LSU and Bama in the same year? I haven't looked how often that has happened but they beat LSU 2 out of 21 last years or something simliar and I think it was worse against Bama.

Kind of interested as well. When I did design on contract I charged them a per hour rate for revisions on top of the contract that was lump sum, per pound, or whatever else. Curious how that works etc...I always just submitted them a bill and nobody ever questioned it. I have heard of...

I visited with a UK based company that is building pellet mills in the southeast and a shipping/storage facility on the MS river in LA. They take whole trees and chip them then pelletize them and ship them to the UK for use in their converted oil fueled power plant. There are other similar...

All that and I got punked. They company got bought out and/or merged with a company I had done work for in the past. A guy who I did a lot of work with there put him up to it. He knew I would turn down a per hour shop type job. I'm supposed to go out to lunch next week with the guy who knows me...

Doesn't matter if they are ranked dead last of Div 1 shoots it's still a tough place to play on the road. That was his point I believe.

Seriously? On a major news site they had a headline about a WoW player reaching level 100.

What part of TX? I have a wildlife management degree from a university in TX and and one time I hunted every day of the 60 day duck season, plus the teal season and drove down to the coast to catch the late season goose season. I also hunt deer, hogs etc... Finding public areas in TX is...

Our world is 7-3:30 and that's the norm for our industry and mostly that revolves us contacting the companies we service. I can come in at 8 and leave at 4 or pretty much come and go when I want as long as it's not a turnaround going on. We shift to start late if it's really cold due to the guys...

I can see that argument. But our busy time only happens in the spring for a very short period and the fall for another short period. Then you might get a disaster you have to fix and put in extra hours. You're paid salary basically to cover it all. Everything outside those periods might have...

It really doesn't work that way for us. The shop works per hour and they work when they are told. The office which is small works when the guys in the shop work and sometimes more. You get your job done regardless. Our world doesn't revolve around normal hours. Like I said I might work 80...

Contract pay is good. I once did a one year contract and the project got canceled in the first week. Nothing beats a one year pay check for a weeks worth of work. Sometimes I charge by the pound for what I draw. This job was around 2 million pounds for the entire precipitator. I offered to do it...

Yup, thanks.

The only people in my indsutry that get paid by the hour work in the shop. On top of that he started talking about 12 hour shifts and such. Yeah let me jump right on that. Except for shop people nobody in my industry works shifts. If the work needs done, it gets done. I'm not even sure what I...

Size compared to downtown LA.

So you want me to run a multi million dollar organization that has plants in 4 states and pay me by the hour...Right I see that neting me for a pay period. I think someone slipped him the wrong resume or something since it has been so long. I had never heard of the guy even tho I've worked...

Jealous of people that have people skills. I assume you use those in negotiations or is it more of a bottom line type of deal?

I'm a structural steel designer and project manager. I carry one in my bag when I have to go to the field. I would say maybe 1 in 10 people I show it to know what it is.

A comment I saw on an article... "Very impressive, I wonder if the engineers who did the incredible math required to make this happen can parallel park thier own car?" haha.

Imagine how fewer savages we would have to deal with if we ever got to take the gloves off and move on with whatever else.

That was a waste other than the free meal. Guy started talking about 12 hour shifts or whatever and all the over time available. I haven't gotten paid by the hour since high school 25 years ago. After that is was contract or salary. Even my 2 year old resume should have made that pretty clear...

Spatula.

Yeah kinda what I was thinking, but I sent it in while self employed so who knows. I'm on paid leave till after the first. I have a meeting with him scheduled over lunch so I got that going for me lol. I've been reading about the company in the local paper and they are really expanding in...

I got a call today from a guy who identified himself as CEO of XXX. He went on for several minutes. I didn't want to be rude but I finally told I had never heard of his company. Turns out I sent them a resume as a feeler about 2 years ago and since then they got bought out lol. Kind of an odd...

It's wildly unpopular with LSU fans, at least the big money backers in the TAF. At first it was good and got lots of exposure. But now after several years the backers have told the AD to cut down on it since we've done it now 4 years in a row or something similar.
