Full Circle- Back to where I started (almost)

[Truck Shop]

Totally. But your typing to the king of three log books. Who cares!

 

[skyking1]

Sort of like when I was on that one bed bugging trip and supposedly on the rest cycle every time I'm loading and unloading that truck! I didn't need to run three log books I just cooked the one I had three times.

and that management attitude is a big part of the shortage. I’m not doing a crappy, hard job for ungrateful jack wagons.

Very true! If we still had the upper management that we had before that guy took over there is a chance I would have stayed on beyond 65!

Back I think it was the year I hit 30 years with the company. The guy who they fired to put this jerk in power made it a point to find out where I had been sent to work on my anniversary day at a different quarry to present me with a "Thanks'! letter" and a bonus check.

 

[skyking1]

Done-holes don't care.

I wanna have a dance party on their drones and remotes when they do stupid ish like that.

Went to work as usual yesterday at 5:00 am. Finished at 12:30 am today-had a 340 mile tow.
Here this morning at 5:00 am. The bosses a$$ is going squeak when I retire not to far in the
future.

I dare say a load of Bosses will be looking at stalled work and equipment as we all just retire permanently. Is few to any if in instances none behind us to pick it back up at our level of deliveries. And WE are OLD, Tired, Worn Slick!!

 

[Raildudes dad]

I look at the younger guys to take my place and shake my head. A couple have been there 10 years. They just do their assignments and have no interest in knowing the whole picture. No interest in knowing the historical info or where to find the info.

What is a room with 183 bosses and 182 equipment/truck "technicians" in it?
1 year of experience.

I'll be here all week folks
Make sure to try the roast beef and don't forget to tip your waitress

 

[Truck Shop]

Is that medium rare thin sliced-if not she ain't getting any tip.

 

[crane operator]

CO, you’re a “glass half full” kinda guy, huh?

Nah, I'm a guy with a project in my barn, wanna come look?

Ich habe einen Doktortitel in italienischer Rutabaga-Harvester reparatur. Sollte einfach sein

Oh buddy they've got your number. Talk about a round peg for a round hole.

And the rutabagas are rotting in the fields.

And here you are still posting on the internet? You've got the skills, break out that old set of whitworth wrenches and get to it!

Have a question about rutabagas. What is the growing cycle for them?

What kind of mechanic needs to know how the machine is supposed to work in order to fix it? Its broken. Cummy's got the right attitude, he just can't get going. You're asking about growing cycles?

 

[Truck Shop]

Rutabagas, parsnips and turnips should be cooked with liver. After it's cooked throw it all away and eat the pan. Those 4 items are not food.

Something I was told back in the 80s as to how management was sent to a site for training on how to be politically correct jerks, that way they sounded nice as were being arrogantly ignorant to the employees they depended on to get the work done. The terminology 'keep them angry as they will work harder' was their basis, pretty well stupid.

Pffft! Crane drivers.... [shakes head]. I whipped that out, posted a video of my awesomeness doing it, AND baked a key lime pie- at the same time !!!!!!

Sounds like the guy I was talking about might have been the guy who came up with that theory!

 

[Crummy]

One of the questions from the oral board for promotion to crew lead at a place I worked at was:
"If upper management told you to discipline someone working under you and you knew that the employee was innocent of the infraction, what would you do?"
You guess what the correct answer was to move up the ladder.

I recall mom making pot roast, loved it except when she tried slipping in some parsnips that looked too close to potatoes, what a shock to the taste buds that was!

They also go to class so that they learn how to pull a single pickup onto a big dirt show and stop nine pieces of iron with one move. It's a perverse sort of chess.

Turnips and parsnips are sure to make a happy kid cry at the dinner table.

 

[DMiller]

Wife puts a few turnips in the roasts for me, learned to love them as a kid at Great Aunt and Uncle's farm. Great Uncle would pluck one from the ground, wash it in a bucket of water cut away top and root then eat like a apple.

My granddad did the same thing. He'd pull out his pocket knife & cut a slice for us kids.
