Ugh, jeans. I wear a 30-31x30... I would think that would be an easy size to find, but nope

all you "little" guys don't know squat about how hard it is to find jeans 
you need to get to + sizes, then come back and tell us about it
anyone bigger than a 35" waist has to choose ... either so tight you can't breath, or so loose you have to cinch your belt so much that you end up with pleats in the belt line .. seems no producer understands that us fatties like our cloths to actually fit .... everything is find if you happen to measure an even size ( 36, 38, 40, etc... ) but no odd inch sizes

The grass is always greener, as they say. I always thought the bigger sizes were all over the place and us skinny dudes were forgotten about, maybe it's that they don't like stocking sizes for anybody. Next time you're in the store looking at jeans, try to find 31 x 34. They will not be there. I end up looking like a teenager that just hit his growth spurt half the time. There are worse things, I guess...
I stole all my uncles jeans. Except the white ones and 80s cutoffs. Huck.
Dear co-workers,
Please go home to your garage, leave the car running and run a garden hose from the exhaust into your window. Now take several relaxing deep breaths...that's it. Soon you will be at peace and society will be better off.
Or just eat hot death, I'm cool with either.

I once was that size ... way back then you could actually find 31/32 x 34's ... I guess, not so much now ... but if you're a 39 as I am ... it's either 38 or 40 ...
WHAT GOOD IS MINING NOSE GOLD IF I CANT SHARE IT WITH THE TOWNSPEOPLE?!
hey boss, what was the point of agreeing to my terms for not leaving when everyone else quits if you're just going to renege on them now, only two months later?
My toolbox has wheels for a reason.
Oh what's that? My fleet fuel card doesn't work? Oh, well thanks for the new one. Oh wait this one doesn't work either. Oh, let's try someone else's card. Wait, my PIN doesn't work. What? They disabled my PIN? Well let's get it reactivated. What? They can't? You need to get me a new one? Ok, now I have a new PIN with a temporary card, lets get some gas.
NEITHER THE NEW PIN OR TEMP CARD WORK AND ITS 8:30 AT NIGHT AND MY SUPERVISOR WON'T ANSWER THE DAMN PHONE AND I'M RUNNING ON FUMES AND I HAVE A BAG OF PORTILLO'S ON MY PASSENGER SEAT GETTING COLD THAT MY SICK WIFE WANTED FOR DINNER.

This. Used to buy their polos, now they have that weird cut where they fit properly only if your arms are hanging straight down.
Coworker/intern has decided the world is against him, I think. One of the long-time materials handlers is (according to him) an undercover cop, and I wear a wire to monitor what he says (I haven't figured out who I'm working for yet). This morning he's ranting and raving about money missing from his wallet (which he feels the need to bring into work and leave in an unlocked desk drawer for hours at a time, sometimes unattended), and (he won't say it to my face but) he thinks its me.
Why the berkeley I'd take $13 from your wallet and leave $40 is beyond me. Everyone else is pretty sure he just spent it on something and doesn't remember (has happened before). Maybe someone IS actually snagging a few bills from him, but without any kind of evidence, there's nothing anyone can do about it.
I'm getting him a box of tinfoil as a Christmas/farewell gift.

Those are the kinda people you gotta keep an eye on. Never know if that dude will flip a switch to crazy one day.

If somebody's mistake was stopping me (or my girlfriend) from enjoying my Portillo's, E36 M3 would be hitting the fan.

You got a winner there with the paranoid schizophrenic.

Sounds like the switch has already been flipped. The only question is whether the "annoying / dangerous" switch will get thrown next.
Yep, I'd make sure HR is aware of it. We had one of those at the newspaper – boss used to just laugh and tell us to deal with it. Until one day she threatened to bring in the sword hanging over her fireplace and chop the publisher's head off. Publisher didn't laugh... she spent the night in jail.
Ditto the make HR (or someone) aware thing. The last thing you need is this guy showing up with some flavor of weapon with your name on it, since he's already positive you are wired to listen to him and swiped the $13 that does not look good.
I don't know how notifying HR that he's a fruitbat would protect me if he decides to make me a target, but plenty of higher-ups are aware of his delusions already.
As of now, he's decided that it wasn't me.
In other news, he's convinced that the "undecover cop" is after him on suspicion of using steroids (he's a big boy).
Bizarre. He'll be out of here in a couple of weeks. He's convinced he'll be back with a full-time position after graduation, but he's delusional on that count too.
Give him the $13. I know you didn't steel it. Just say something like, "Hey, weren't you missing $13? I think I found it."
When he inevitably comes in with a flame thrower to torch the building, you can say, "Hey, wait a minute, we're friends. Remember? I found your missing money."
It'll buy time to make your escape.

Don't knock thm 'till you try them. I was surprised to see a pair of 6X yoga pants but damn if they aren't the most comfortable ones I own.
White guy rant - berkeley you american airlines for trashing my favorite carry-on bag - then pointing to the sign about not your responsibility for breaking stuff.
I hate it when it works out that I get the same hour of Opie and Anthony on my drive home as I do on the drive in. I should have the timing down by now.
Coworker gets a well deserved promotion Monday. Someone else gets pissed because they didn't get said promotion. HR shows up at my workplace Wednesday to do an investigation on sexual harassment claims, said coworker gets E36 M3canned today. Pisses me off.
So, I jump on to my favorite NWS and "drag racing" site and just happen to click on the auto body subforum this morning.....
Berkeley you, you damn painters that can make a 5# pile of E36 M3 look like 25# of gold when you are done. I hate you.
