D'aling that's just too chic. Besides you need spitoons, barely clad girls, a sign reading free beer this way. Yes and a raffle for a free "butter knife" weekly. Make it a Stihl butter knife. Nobody respectable uses a husky butter knife.
Oh, ok, so you're not up for my planned pitchfork and torch attack then?Hm. For the most part I concur yet don't suggest a crusade. Will say I rather you leave some aspects of Star Wars, Firefly, Star Wreck with vaping culture. We kind of need them for the hope they enliven.
Is that Lucy's avatar in the middle?

Mmm, think I may have ordered too many pitchforks. Hey, at least we can use the fire torches for a cool Hangi. Pit roast pork anyone?No, it only creates martyrs. But I understand how it’s off putting to see that satanic imagery. And unnecessary!

*gasps* You are Eeeevil, Eeeevil I say! Damn shame and I liked you. Now, I bet my sis will tell me not to play with you.
As though I'll listen to her. My wife still can't stop me from taking candy from strangers.
So I just don't get it... Order package for Mom through my Amazon... I normally don't have issues here... name on package MOM's.... address on package MOM's... delivered to MY PORCH this morning!... HOW in the hell does this happen?!?!?!? #STUPIDITYEPIDEMIC
I'm telling ya. It never freakin fails. I think people have put their brains in the freezer and just navigate the world without 'em these days.
Ever have doubts? Look at how people drive. Try to enroll a kid in school. Try to work out a problem with your cable- or satellite-TV provider. Even better, watch a kid try to figure out how to give you change for a $10 if the cash register doesn't tell him how much to give. Honest to God.

this ^
really want to fuck that kid up ? $10.56 , give him $11.06. they almost never get it. and sometimes tell me i'm wrong.
and this is even when the register does the math for them
Just do it all on your cellular device.I'm telling ya. It never freakin fails. I think people have put their brains in the freezer and just navigate the world without 'em these days.

I never pick on cashiers. For me they have one of the worst jobs in the world.
I would rather be a plumber, at least at that you do not have to be nice to the shit that comes by.
We need an app for that?I don't pick on them either. I've had enough jobs in retail and food service that I wouldn't dare. The point is that some very basic understanding of how things work, basic math and such, have been effectively omitted from their experience. I guess you don't know what you don't know, but damn, do these kids have parents? If schools can't teach them how to think, then someone needs to.
For maybe the majority of parents today schools are just babysitters.I don't pick on them either. I've had enough jobs in retail and food service that I wouldn't dare.

That's why we home schooled our kids through high school. Both passed the math and English college entrance tests. They didn't need to take the remedial math and English classes most of the kids from the local high school needed to take. My youngest was a double major (Marketing and Graphic Design) and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 3.95 GPA. Yeah, I'm a proud dad!For maybe the majority of parents today schools are just babysitters.
I do not think the majority of parents take an active role in their children's education.
Maybe kids would be better if life could be lived on a Nintendo?
My mom took a large active role in me being educated. Will leave it at that choosing brevity over verbosity. Suffice it to say I think I've "turned out" at least alright. Yes, even despite seemingly being unemployable.
Learn something every day.
My mother did essentially nothing to help with my education, beyond making sure I was fed, clothed, housed, and transported. She was not an educated person herself, but beyond that, had the patience of the anti-Job. I think Librium helped her get through the 1960s.
Not sure where I was going with that, except to say that sometimes it's just the luck of the draw. Some kids are motivated, some aren't. Some kids have way too much responsibility at home, inappropriate for their ages, and some don't lift a finger to do a damn thing.
Sometimes kids who come out of the same family, same parents, same upbringing, same opportunities, will turn out completely differently. And while I'm sure there are far too many parents who don't help their kids, I'm equally sure there are many who have to fight their kids, tooth and nail, to get them to do just the most basic things. Those are challenging kids, and you can work your ass off for them and get nowhere.
It's a crap shoot. And having said all that, I've pretty well convinced myself that, the next time I run into a kid who can't make change, I should remember my own experience as a parent, and not dump that shortcoming on the kid's parents without knowing anything else about them. They could well have given it their all, and gotten nowhere.

Yes it is time for lunch!
I GONNA DIE!
I got a 10 pack of TIP 36C transistors from China and did not wear gloves or a mask to open them!
I am going to be electron dissipated after I die and have my electrons spread throughout the internet.Do NOT die at VU. We cannot have you littering up the place. We'll just have to get someone to drag you outside.
Dang, you cannot take some people ANYWHERE.

Damn. You would! *ahem* Not that I wouldn't.
In seriousness though "they" say bleach does not kill that shit.(Got my doubts about what "they" say anymore. I know bleach kills H.I.V..) I'd suggest a wash in ammonia and Dawn instead, possibly some lemon juice. I know ammonia will attack enzymes and Dawn washes oil off critters. Lemon juice? Nice smell, citric acid will help lift anything away plus oxidize.
Bossman wanted to put a thing called 5S into action, a think that minimizes clutter at a work station, while promoting maximum efficency. So, one of the items that got removed from one area was calculators. Thing is, every single computer in the facility has a calculator built in, right? Everyone on one shift started whining that they didn't know how to use them. Some don't even know how to get there.
Pretty muchHe's just damn uncooperative, if you ask me.
I made the mistake of watching the video of "Despacito" on YT last night.

I love that. Our Assoc. Manager is nuts about the idea, while it's causing a rift between shifts. We're supposed to be having yet another meeting about this crap. People just put your shit where it belongs, is it that hard? I'm tired of going to meetings, I have work to do LOL.We have had 5S for years. Some bosses are more gung ho than others. One is VERY into it. He has his desk taped off and labeled for EVERYTHING. He was having a fit because the other boss in that office kept putting his lunch cooler on his desk. We fixed it for him by taping off an area for the cooler and labeling it for the other boss's lunch cooler.
