What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[Key-Glyph]

As someone who's cleaned more than his share of women's public restrooms... hoo boy. They're always dirtier than the men's. Always.

This is interesting. In what ways? I'm assuming a lot of it has to do with women 1) not enjoying the benefit of a urinal, 2) requiring toilet paper for everything, 3) being more likely to bring children in, and 4) being expected to wash their hands after each trip.

I'm not quite sure how that last rule applies to men. I've sat in on some discussions and discovered different schools of thought.

: Was pay day today.

: Obama bent me over and rapped me with taxes. $90 in taxes for a $500 check. Then he will double dip my ass with the 7% sales tax when I go to spend it so that is 78 hours + .5 hours over time for the low low price of 381.3. After last nights blow out our parents also stripped us of our gas cards so me and my brother will be splitting the gas bill for a total of $50+ each every pay check and that is if the gas prices stay at their current level and do not sky rocket anymore like they are forecasting. That is roughly $5 an hour before we even factor in living expenses and gas for a full time summer job working for the state at the Department of Highways we also get no paid holidays(had them up until this year), overtime restrictions, and no benefits .

: Worked 10 hours straight milling a road today in 100 degree weather on one of the busiest road ways in the area and the sunniest weather we have seen in weeks . After lunch we ran out of water and were worked till closing time a total of 5 hours later. We even missed our scheduled clock out time by 10 minutes . By the end of the day we all had extremely bad sun burns and were pretty dehydrated . I was also suffering from leg cramps most of the day but worked through them as best i could since my crew mates were all just as bad off . Our boss spent most of the day screwing around with a broom occasionally sweeping dust off the road, and then spent the later half in air condition equipment . Best part is we get to black top everything we milled tomorrow and it is supposed to be even hotter. I am not looking forward to working around material that is over 200 degrees on another scorching day especially if we get the same shit treatment.

If you think that Obama had much of anything to do with your (relatively low) 18% pay deduction for various things, you have a lot to learn about politics and paychecks both.

7% sales tax is pretty darn low too from my perspective.

Obama also had nothing to do with the state sales tax, it is worth mentioning.

False equivalencies everywhere.

I will say this right now- my man parts are cleaner than anything at my highschool. So, I wash my hands before to keep it that way.

Well maybe big O could drop the gas prices?

Really just referring to him as the face of our political system . Not him personally.

If anything is to blame it's the insane amount of waste that occurs. I see it every day where I work. In our garage alone I shit you not there is probably 1 Million+ lost per year. We over order, driver "errors"(aka I don't want to work anymore there is a ditch whoops) occur constantly, we over spend on replacement parts and keep equipment that most places would deemed totaled for way to long, and we have some of the worst workers I have ever seen running the place because about the only thing that will get you fired is being involved in a fight in which a deadly weapon is used and even then only if blood is drawn.

Why aren't you elaborating about this story? Sounds fun.

lol i did but then I remembered the privacy policy .

Basically being as vague as I possibly can an individual busted a coffee cup over someones skull and then stabbed them with a shard. They let him stick around another 2-3 months so he could get retirement benefits then they forced him to retire . Technically not a firing but just about as close as it gets around the garage.

Basically anything short of attempting to murder someone just gets you transferred to another facility or placed on a road crew as a traffic controller(flagger)/laborer .
