More thoughts on jobs and working

[Mudcat]

By the way, I'm thinking since we have gotten the firearm out of mothballs in order to shoot my co-worker in the face, perhaps I will also shoot Carrie Underwood in the face.

Seems like the efficient play.

 

[Mudcat]

Oh. Just saw she just had a baby. I am talking about shooting a brand new mother in the face.

How awful of me.

 

[housepicks]

Been saying that for almost a year now.

 

[Matty]

You two just bonded.

Carrie Underwood's current single - Must Be Something in the Water - I have commented at least a couple times how the strained, forced vocals sounds like she is giving birth.

Thought I was just being hilarious but dayum.

You need to go talk to a therapist.

Got a 1.71 raise today

Congrats House, good for you!

 

[housepicks]

Thanks cami..

Turns out my local gets more on the check but the local I am working in has a higher overall package by 1.71 an hour.

So they need to pay me prevailing wage...I also got a check for 1600 retro. They said they only needed to go back so far or whatever...I don't care...I will take whatever.

 

[Cami]

Nice! A little extra goes a long way!

Houser how many hours you work a year?

The bad news: construction date has been extended to Mar. 15th.

The good news: barely any traffic there anyway. Flew right through. Maybe everyone went to alternate routes. As long as you don't get stuck behind a bus, you're good.

BOOM - construction extended now to MAY 15.

Lobbed a couple months on the end there overnight.

Yeah sorry threw a few things out the car window there

 

[Mudcat]

Totally smooth sailing despite the lane reductions tho. Everybody must be taking alternate routes.

Pretty noice.

People here at work do not necessarily take kindly to random musings about weighing myself this morning and I'm wasting away.


There was a minor tempest-in-a-teacup recently because some New York writer went to Newfoundland and commented how there a lot of FAT people. All the kneejerk indignation aside, it's true. It is believed something like 70% of Newfoundlanders would be classified as obese (compared to low 20's for all of Canada.) Those numbers might be slightly off but that's the idea.

That said, I feel like it would be a great stride where I work to get our obesity number down to 70%. I'm sure I have made reference to this before. Some notable largeness. Some hefty humanity.

So yeah, comments about wasting away ---> not necessarily welcome.



They don't take kindly.

 

[Cami]

lol at fat people, so damned sensitive.

cami/stevies, if you guys didnt work from home, is there actually anywhere to work in your area? i mean anywhere to work a 9-5 professional gig...arent you guys a little bit away from a big city?

So my whole team got in trouble over a Facebook post that mentioned "a member of the senior management team" at work. It was an inside joke about one specific guy. Anyhoo, the post was completely cryptic and harmless.

But we can't have people look like they're criticizing their "superiors", so everyone who commented on the post or merely "Liked" it got a stern talking to by our VP, plus a hard copy of our "Social Media policy". My boss was part of that group.

Somehow I'm the only one who dodged that bullet.

Feelsgoodman.
