And in a controversial move, I am switching to long pants.

What? Today of all days?

Yap. Long pants.

I have decided to pursue an outside sales position with a reputable company with benefits, etc. I'd prefer a company car and I think I'll get it. I do this during the day, I play poker at night when the timing's right. Real estate has been good to me but I am sick of people who call stealing files work, it isn't and it's disgusting. Then I rock out when I'm good enough and tell jokes whenever and take that wherever. Maybe some real estate but you touch our files and you'll be dealing with me and some other stuff you don't want.

Then I make sweet love to Matty's mom, she has another kid and I name him Bono.

I say, that could get interesting.

Just became a job steward at work. I enjoy the paid training it requires.

I went to our new facility for the first time today. We are expecting to be there 100% by next April.

I had to wear a hardhat all day and am sporting a helluva do as a result. Hardhat head is a very special kind of hat head.

Fucking large though, this place. I was trying to guess how far it was lengthwise. I imagined unbending an Olympic track and field track and running it down the middle. That's a quarter mile. I'm sure you could do it - and still have real estate left over.

It's larr.

I feel like I've been unemployed for several years.

This is where I'm going to be working:

Pretty good estimate. Knowing the square footage and measuring the photo for a proportionality of the sides, I determine that the length of it is ~150 yards longer than an Olympic track.

I will be working in a place that is just short of a third of a mile long.

Oh those humans and the ways they have shaped the earth.

As for the issue of whether I would sink or swim with my switch to full measurable duties alongside all the 23 year-olds, not only am I swimming, it turns out I am very good at it.

I am Michael Phelps. Well maybe not Michael Phelps.

I am Ryan Lochte.

This is where I'm going to be working:

Jesus Christ. I assume this is in the industrial park near Pearson? I always get stuck behind HUGH lines of transport trucks on the way to my storage unit on top of the airport.

It's in Milton. Terrible drive for me from Port Credit. Yesterday was my first shot at it, and I was hoping I might miraculously have a tolerable commute from here but no.

I was keeping an eye open for residential areas but I didn't see anything of the sort.

Guess you got turn somewhere and go somewhere. Anyway that is my future.

Only point I can think of to add is that it apparently it is built in such a way that one exterior wall is easily taken out and the building expanded.

 

[roguejuror]

at least you won't miss all the geese shitting your port credit parks when you move

 

[Mudcat]

Milton is not on any particular water but I wouldn't put it past the geese to find me.

How much are you making weekly compared to when you are working?

How much are you making weekly compared to when you are working?

lol, I think I've made $10k over the last six months. If the glove thing doesn't take off, Ima have to get a real job in the new year.
