Don't forget the "use it or lose it" vacation policy. Meanwhile your manager chides you for having vacation time left at the end of the year, while simultaneously denying all your vacation requests during the year due to it "not being a good time".
I get 224 hours of PTO a year.. I am only allowed to carry 80 over past my hire date.. in 15 days. I should be just below 80 then
In reply to Toyman01 :
Did you learn how to "address your ladder". I think that after the course I was actually dumber than when I started. Good thing the certificate is good forever, as long as you don't lose your card, we can never get those 10 hours back.

And you wonder why I stuck you so bad on the price.
This complete waste of my time is why.
I’ll see your OSHA 10 and raise you the OSHA 30 training. I considered faking a stroke by the third day of that one.

So when you expect it to slip when the bolt gets tight it instead tries to spin around and break your wrist.
You haven't seen fury until you witness Milwaukee's gear reduced "HOLE HOG." Hold on for dear life and pray it doesn't bite into something solid. 10th degree black-belt beat the E36 M3 out of your hands and wrists, I-Just-Saw-Jesus bad. I know.

The good news is, I tested negative for Lyme disease. The bad news, I really want a nap right now and am so looking forward to a bunch of 12-15h work days for the next three days.
I'm beginning to wonder if the doc who thinks that part of it might be stress related (trying to avoid the "b" word) is onto something, but I'm too tired to even rant about it.
I don't know what the "b" word is, but I felt that way at my last job, and I'm running around and bouncing on my feet at my new job.
In my case at least, it was stress.

Unfortunately not “beer”. Starts with “burn” and ends with “out”.

-Also: Get off my lawn.
FCC made that "against the rules" in 2012. Specific part of FCC website. File a complaint with them. Since it's not technically against the "law" I don't know what good it will do, but you're much more educated on that than I am.
Watching FX, are we? They are notorious for that.
I would think that with all the marketing information available these days, they would learn that the REALLY LOUD COMMERCIALS are actually counterproductive, since all it does is make me mute the TV for the duration of the commercial break.
I believe the rule actually says the commercials can't be louder than the loudest part of the previous segment. But with the really excessive dynamic range that is common in modern movies, that really doesn't limit them much.
The Dancer has been under the weather since mid last-week, potentially with strep or something of the likes as it was going around in some of the schools she does outreach out. Started feeling not-so-well myself Saturday, but had to push through with cold medicine Sunday because we had the photo shoot for her next show scheduled and it was one of the only days a dozen or so dancers could all be there to take the pictures. After powering through that day, just could not get up yesterday, so despite the fact that there was something I figured would be a seriously hot issue that I'd left hanging at the end of last week I called in sick and slept for the better part of the day (I generally recover from things fast but need a LOT of sleep to do so).
Still not anywhere near up to full today, but figure that I need to be at work to address the issues I found last week and push through and come in to work.
Not a peep out of anyone yesterday about the issue I emailed about on Thursday. Now rather wish I'd just stayed home again sick today...
For the life of me I’ll never understand why we need pillows on our bed that I’m not allowed to sleep on.

I've seen such advanced cases that whole couches are turned into a "pillow bookshelf" barely leaving room to perch on the edge.
So you poured 3/8" of self leveling for you new vinyl floor. Now your doors won't open or shut.
Sorry, I can't cut 1/2" off the bottom of a steel fire door without compromising the welds in the bottom of the door. You have three choices. New doors, which take 4+- weeks to show up. I pull the doors and take them to have them modified in a approved shop, 4-5 days. You fix the floor you berkeleyed up. Pick one. They are listed in order of price.

Yet another reason that I am deliriously happy that DW is who she is.
Pinchvalve is selling his Kia Rondo.
Whoever designed the dual-valve secondary air injection system on the later 2.4L Equinox/Terrains needs to be taken in a dark room and beaten.
14 years ago today. The drunk that hit me never served a single day in jail. He was out on bail before I woke up from surgery. I'm not as angry as I used to be, but it still grinds my gears.

I hate having to keep my mouth shut sometimes.

Back in the 80s when I was learning to drive, The town I lived in was going through a serious building boom. They were tearing down old houses and putting up McMansions like crazy. Nobody's tyres lasted a full year because you would pick up a nail ever month or so. The gas stations made a killing putting in patches
Apparently Audi wasn't kidding when they said 2016 q3's dont have a front license plate bracket.
Now to tell the customer we have to drill the front bumper if they want to run a front plate.

This road trip is a miserable, miserable thing.
None of it has been about “us” but about our “guests” and this Vegas leg has shown that more clearly than others.
Tonight is our last night in Vegas and instead of taking my wife to dinner at a nice place (or Hell, In-n-Out), I’m eating a home made sandwich and drinking a screwdriver while the wife is holding our sleeping son and watching trash TV.
Our daughter had another epic meltdown which aborted this evenings activities and we all reached “don’t give a berkeley” stage so now we’re cancelling our Bend leg so we can go home earlier and get everyone back on routine schedules again.
I just want to jettison our two guests (two more nights!) and get back to just being the four of us again. That and no more driving hours and hours on end.
Laying in bed, surfing GRM and I hear a buzz sound then something hits the wall above my head. Some sort of beetle falls down between my headboard and the wall.
Of course after I get out of my nice, comfy, warm bed to pull the bed away from the wall I can't find the damn bug.
I'm sure somehow it will end up crawling on me during the night
