That One Guy

I try to take at least 1 day off in any 30 day period whether it be a holiday or scheduled leave. Not including the week long non-working events.

That’s the ideal I would like to hold but I don’t get enough PTO to both do that and go on nice vacations multiple times a year. I get upped to 20 days PTO from the current 15 in April 2025. 

Shoresy 

TRF chat room had some magic about it 

A holiday next week and then eight or so full weeks of work before 

euuuuurope

If I did carry it would probably be a .22lr or .22magnum small revolver

the best gun is the one you don’t leave at home because it’s too heavy and bulky 

Saw a video of a guy that drew a gun on a drawn gun during a robbery and amazingly didn’t die. Dude was fast and lucky as f**k 

Excessive gun freedoms are pretty stupid sometimes. Buddies were camping on the edge of a res in the middle of nowhere and a dude across the narrow river started firing shots in their direction around midnight. They left and called 911 with their minuscule cell service and amazingly they caught the guy within an hour. DPR-drunk driving down dirt two tracks angry and willing to shoot at shit 

This one time we were camping in the west desert in the middle of nowhere but 300’ from an abandoned trailer and some good old boys came up on it at 3am and after checking it out for a while idled around the area and definitely noticed our tent and truck. Seemed like they were up to no good. Shittiest half hour of my life, with my hand on a pistol wondering what kind of chance I alone would have with 26 rounds against possibly hopped up bad boys. Ended up wondering if there was a body in that trailer.

Dang, this got dark. 

It’s important to take a break from dead band forum shitposting and stand for something every once in a while

Like fast trains and proper bike lanes

paint is not a proper bike lane, it’s a loose suggestion to drivers to not murder

New Study: Says that EV drivers are 22% more likely to throw a bag of puppies out their car window on to the freeway than ICE drivers.

Tiny dick useless pickup truck drivers are like 300% more likely to run over what they think are turtles on road shoulders

Why are minivans so despised? They have lots of room for your gear and/or people. The drive okay and get reasonable mpg. So what if they're associated with soccer moms. Function over form.

Minivans are the ultimate practical vehicle. The so called “3 row SUV” is for idiots who want a shittier version of it for way more money, because they are afraid of a shape and a stigma in their head

You got a fast car. I got a plan to get us out of here.

 

How the times have changed. That car would not be able to get away from quite a number of often affordable modern ho-hum hatchbacks and family sedans, even crossover SUVs.

I’m just going to tell my GM that I don’t feel safe coming back unless he’s gone. I called the customer service center that is absolutely a call center overseas, but I hope they passed it up to the right people. I explained what happened, told them what store I work at, the manager’s name, and that there needs to be a police investigation. I am supposed to come back on Monday, hopefully something has been done by then. I’m not risking my safety for a crappy part time job. 

Having trouble getting full time work down there?

My sister works remotely for Discover Card and I endorse that job for anyone who generically wants to make $20+/hr with full benefits

@That One Guy you know I’m usually thinking pulling, boot straps and all that, right now I’m at a loss. Can Jamie safely tell the cops anonymously? 
 

I wouldn’t want to minimize someone feeling intimidated without walking in their shoes.

Hard to say. Credit card theft is evil. If it were me I'd report him to the big boss or the cops, but I'm a 30 year old dude

I'm not sure how Edward Snowden got anything down lugging around those massive balls. What a wholesome patriot, shame he had to go into exile for fighting the good fight.

Quiet quitting.

Do you see me getting fired? No. Reminder, quiet quitting is not a thing.

Feed me more work, work. I crush it on the daily, no sympathy when a slow day comes along.

Farting around online at this hourly rate is the good life indeed. Oh, I do need to ask my boss for an update on that overdue bonus.

I ain't doing shit at work today

The Tragically Hip were so damned good
