Some not so quick... quick and easy Christmas presents.

One of his screw ups caused me to work double shifts seven days a week, for a little over seven months with only three days off when my mother died. I was getting less than four hours sleep a night during that time, and it could have been prevented if the manager had admitted his mistake and spent the money for a $5 crystal.

Then I got back to work, and a stupid #$%^&*( got in my face and said that I was a F#$%^ing Mama's boy for taking off for her death from cancer, radiation treatments and chemo.

It was a toxic workplace, and it took the rest of the techs to pull me off that bastard. I told his supervisor that if I saw him again during the next week that I would kill him, with no remorse. 'Mr. Macho' didn't show his face for close to two weeks. His supervisor had been a marine, and he explained to the fool that my Army training wuld make it easy to paint the complex red with his body parts.

Here's another similar machine/procedure:

I understand that the patient feels like they've been severely beaten-up afterward, but that's preferable to the kidney stone.

Did you finance it through the bank? They don't give that flexible, oxygen-free (snort) copper wire away.

P.S: Watch out on both Ebay and Amazon when buying copper wire. Over half the stuff for sale today is AL, or copper-plated AL. Watch the weight. The vendors were calling it "copper" when it was CCA.

Beautiful. LOL

I made time and a half, and double and a half for overtime, and overtime on holidays. I was working 112 hours a week. Everything past 40 hours was overtime. That was over 1300 a week, before taxes, if there wasn't a holiday. This was over 30 years ago. I got paid every other week, and one time it was three months before I could deposit my checks.

The teller dropped the pile of checks and asked me to marry her. I told her I was too tired to even think about it, so she counter-offered with a weekend in Vegas, with a promise that I'd never forget it. She was right. It would have killed me, and she would have taken the rest of that cash.

It's a troll, guys. Ignore it.

Egad!

Golddiggers earn 3 limp thumbs from me. Take a photo of 'em and paste the face on a Playboy foldout. It's a whole lot cheaper, you avoid the whole drama, and there are no attorney bills.

She had a face and a body that could have been a centerfold. I was so exhausted that she could have stripped right there, and I would have walked away. It was cutting into my precious sleep time. A week or two later I blacked out while driving in heavy traffic in Cincinnati. I drove five miles, in about 15 minutes, and I didn't remember one second of it. I was sitting at a red light, and the next ting I knew, I had slammed on the brakes to keep from hitting some idiot in a brand new Lincoln who had cut me off. This was near the end of the overtime. I told the manager what happened. The brainless SOB just laughed and told me that I would get used to the blackouts. I gave him an ultimatum. Either he hired a second tech by that Monday, or he could hire 20, because I would be gone and they would have to start the department over. I was yelling loud enough that the entire staff heard me, and a threat to call the Ohio Ste Labor Relations Board to file a complaint about the mandatory overtime. He hired somebody from a place that repaired TV tuners. :(

Youcks. My sympathies. I've been fortunate to not have such an experience. Or the tolerance, perhaps.

Nephew headed to Afghanistan for ANOTHER tour, #5. They told him to pack for Korea too and be ready to move at a moment's notice.

The Army has the snipers using factory 300 Win. Mag. They don't load their own rounds. He's never loaded a single round and was surprised that I was appalled and he was fascinated with the potential. Glock is the supplier of pistols now, didn't know that. Great to see this kid in town over Christmas. This little boy has turned into an old man before his time. I guess 4 tours will do that. when he re-upped we all thought his wife was going to kill him but his deal with the army is a cushy teaching gig and promotion to Master when he gets back from this tour.

In my circle we would call him a "Doo-Daa". Nobody's offended, nobody knows what the meaning is. So, he's a "Doo-Daa".

Shame, shame I say, on us for acknowledging his existence.

New year's resolutions:

1. Don't feed the troll
2. Buy one more handgun

No, it isn't. Saying "it's obvious" doesn't get you off the hook to support your claim.

Beating up on Mark Wieber for any reason reveals no flaw in anyone's soul. Wieber is an asshole. Gardener's and Terrell's and your support for him reveals flaws in your souls, if you shitbags can even be said to have them.

Yeah, the gorgeous ones are the worst. Remember that old song "Never make a pretty woman your wife."? Spot on.

That's bad, bad, bad. You got lucky, Mikey.

LOL.

That kept in line with his knowledge level, I suppose.

Good score!

Doo-daa!
