Who the berkeley sends out an all hands meeting notice at 3:40 p.m. on a Saturday when the rumor mill at the office is already running loose like a crack smoking wild horse and when half the office is out for spring break? I need a break from everything. Just need to go disappear for a month. I can feel my hair turning gray.
The new micromanager of the plant noticed all the energy drinks. "They shouldn't be drinking that. Its unhealthy."
Son, we are grown assed adults, working second shift. We are collectively powered by cigarettes, energy drinks...and rage. You take away energy drinks and your getting twice as much rage because smoking is at capacity.
Are you sure you want that?
In reply to Appleseed :
My day wouldn't be complete without an energy drink (or two)
Where I used to work, we were micromanaged to a degree and my employer was a huge health enthusiast with respect to eating a proper diet, self-care, excercise, etc.
He also kept the breakroom stocked with flats of Red Bull and Monster.
So are you in talks or just awaiting a title. Or awaiting a title for a buyer already.
Pretty sure the in talks is one of Facebook's auto messages. They really need to get rid of those. Make people type actual messages. It would probably also get rid of more than half of the "is this available?" ghostings. I'll admit I've hit it once or twice, trying to hit the save button right underneath it or touched too long trying to scroll.

I drink a what is allegedly a dangerous amount of Diet Pepsi. A manager commented on it a couple of years ago. I said I was ok with the consequences, the longer I live the longer I'm stuck here. It got me almost a week of peace and quiet.

I worked with a guy who drank six 2L bottles of Diet Pepsi a day.
We called him two litre
$77 for the Cayman's oil change and I have not bought the 9qts of mobile 1 ($100+) yet...
Filter, seals, new magnetic drain plug (aluminum plug and the wrench flats strip out every change). $77. berkeley your badge tax.
$90+ in oil later makes it $160+ and I have to do the work myself...fml.

One of my aunts has processed about 24 cans of diet Pepsi per day for the last 40-45 years and she's still kicking.
She took a 2 week vacation in England and I half expected a get well card from PepsiCo in the mail.

Change that to diet mtn dew and you have me when I had my heart attack. In 2017. At 36.
In reply to Dusterbd13 :
When we said, "Man, it would be cool to go back to the 50s" detonating your heart in your 30s is not what we meant.
My mini fridge in my bedroom 20+ years ago...
Looks like the one in my garage, also 20+. Today I learned my hot water heater is from 2009, fix now or wait for the explosion?
In reply to Dusterbd13 :
Much of my 20s were fueled by Mountain Dew. I'm glad I got off that train: A heart attack at 36 sounds terrible.

My hot water heater from 2000 finally started leaking late last year.
My house was built in late 1999, early 2000 and is currently on its third water heater...
One more quick point on my wagon rant. So update your listing if your in talks or awaiting the title. Just looked again and see the end.
"***If the listing is still up, it is still available."
Well the listing was still up and it's not available or else I'd be there by now with cash...

The one in the house where I live was there in 1995 when my aunt bought the place. It stopped working a couple years ago, they were thinking it was new heater time. I replaced the $7 thermocouple and we were back in business.
The one in the house I'm buying was installed in 2016. There are leaking pipes around it but the water heater SEEMS okay, but I'm going to be prepared to replace sooner than later...
Water heater life is remarkably varied, it seems. I think a bunch of it is initial quality of the part, but the mineral content and acidity of the water is a big factor too. My brother in Regina had a lease deal, got a new one whenever they started leaking. 5 years or so, each. Mine, in a city with different water, is about 25 years old.
Took the snow tires off the truck today. A liesurely hour swapping the wheels. An hour so far fighting with the TPMS to get it to relearn.
Have pants just like just gone super downhill or is it just me?
For years I would just buy Wranglers for work pants, usually the carpenter style , they'd last like a year or 2 and then I'd buy more. Sure they look like crap by the end of life but concrete makes all work wear look like crap pretty fast, I just go for functional. Recently they last about 2-3 months specifically the pants pocket gets destroyed by hooking a tape measure to it but they are ripping to hell. I know they aren't fancy but they work fine
I buy Levi Signatures for when I'm not working and they used to be great, last 2 pair have lasted not very long at all either.
Went to a local thrift store and bought them out of my size so hopefully I can find a pair I like well enough. Got some Key's, and a pair of Haggar cargo pants that are super comfortable.......that apparently are the "old style" with buttons that they don't make anymore so that's awesome.
Duluth makes some nice pants but they are really thick and I'll die in summer, I've never had great luck with Carhartt or Rustler ( the fit sucks, bluntly no junk room), standard Levi's are ok and I don't give a flying berkeley about clothes and fashion so I don't know any other brands to try .
In reply to Antihero :
It's not just you. Levis seem to start coming apart almost immediately which sucks because they fit me.
Carhartt pants seem to last, but I have to try on their stuff. They either run huge or I can't zip them up. I have one pair that fit decent, but it took trying on three pair to get one made to size.
I had some old Columbia brand carpenter pants that outlasted everything else I have tried, but I haven't seen that style in years. They make something that looks sort of the same, but the material on the new ones is flimsy.
In reply to Streetwiseguy :
That makes me feel better, as the house I am buying is in the same neighborhood.
"House I'm buying" is a weird and scary phrase.

These Key pants are like that too, they had 4 pairs of the same size and they were all a bit different, had to go up a size too which is great for the ol ego lol.
It's not like I'm super tall, super heavy or super ripped either so you'd assume that it wouldn't be too hard, I like them a bit loose too so there's a margin for error here even. Still it seems like the new fashion is very flat front and I like my junk uncompacted, I can't believe that I'm the only one either.
Why do I feel like I am in another situation where a dealer is not taking my money. If we come to a price and I agree to pay I will. I don't need financing it was just to make the deal easier so you could ship me a car.
