What did you do today?

[zannej]

Oh, man... Don, I'm so sorry. But I'm glad you weren't hurt. Still doesn't make up for the lost materials.

Today is cloudy and kind of bleh. I'm going to see a friend for her birthday later, but she's having a bad day. Her boyfriend (who is my best friend) just got beat up by his dad for no reason. His dad got high on meth, got mad about something, went in to another room and got his father's ring (my friend's grandfather's ring), put it on, and started punching the hell out of my friend. He then turned on the girlfriend to beat her up, but she slammed the door and locked it. The 5-year-old granddaughter was watching the entire thing and crying. Guy never hit my friend before but the meth made him nutso. So, he's in jail and my friend is really upset and so is his daughter.

I have to get estimates
They will only pay so much for the secondary structure

Sounds like they will pay for all the contents

When my Garage was robbed they only paid half of what i claimed till i showed them receipts for what i bought .

My stepson stocks nights at Walmart. I took him to work tonight and went in to shop. One register open. 8 full carts in line. waited 6 minutes while the cashier waited for a CSM so they could check out customers. Went to the service desk and asked her to check me out, she refused. I left the stuff in the cart and walked out. Not worth it. Whatever happened to customer service?

I spent 6 hours trying to get my new tablet to get to this website. Now I know why the prices was right. Takes 5 minutes to get google to load up.
Might be Avast learning to trust me.
I want my PC with XP back.

By store policy she's not supposed to refuse to check you out, but I've found that Walmart employees can be rather disgruntled from the low pay and crap treatment from management so the take it out on customers. I've had them shut down registers right in my face after I stood in line for 15 minutes (which is against store policy) and had them call their friends from in line behind me to check them out when I'd been in line much longer. Even had an employee jump in line in front of me and they checked her out before me when she ran up when I had been there a long time. She didn't ask to cut in and she had some kind of complicated stamp stuff so it took a long time. I wouldn't have minded if she had asked before just cutting in.

They usually don't even have enough cashiers because they understaff to try to save $. Although, the local Walmart was in a bind for awhile bc the store manager (who is no longer there) was such a flaming hellbeast that 9 cashiers and I think 3 to 6 overnight stockers all quit the same night (when they got their paychecks).

On a happier note, I cheered up my friends by bringing over cake and cupcakes. I was wrong on the age of the child, she's not 5 just yet and she is full of attitude. She didn't want cake for some reason, but she wanted to be the taskmater telling us to eat the cake. She was encouraging us saying we were almost done and if we finished we could go watch a movie afterward. She even tried to help me open the container to get a second piece. She high-fived my brother for finishing his cake. But then the birthday girl wasn't as hungry and didn't finish her cake, so she was putting her hand on her hips and saying "You better eat your cake!" And then announced that everyone else got to go watch the movie because they ate their cake. LOL.

She also was showing me this large pink clock with a clear plastic face and glitter inside. She was telling me that if you break it open and tear up the glitter "you get b***ed at by Pawpaw".

They are supposed to have 20 stockers on my son's shift and they have 8, if they all show. Some nights there are 5. They are still expected to get all the stock put up in their 7 hour shift.

Once more time, but in English.

Back on the PC........ it's 15 X faster. I can't even find my connection speed on the HP. Using that thing is like being dropped off in a foreign country with no shoes, food or a map and trying to get by not knowing the language.
Might just be the external modem I'm using for the tablet. I'm sure the internal modem in the PC works faster.

The internal modem is a fax modem . Speed 56 K

Mac A Not Free . It came with the confuser . two antivirus causes conflicts .

If you want to take it off let me know . There is a certain procedure to do it .

I checked on my friend today. He was hurting and discovered (via his father's Facebook account) that his father had stolen his Ibuprofen and some of the grandfather's meds to sell to people so he could buy the meth he was high on. I brought him some more Ibuprofen and some food when he was at work.

I heard from my sister. She was telling me that her Ruger blew up at the firing range. There was an underpacked bullet so it didn't have enough force to leave the barrel and she didn't realize it. Next shot blew it up. She only had minor scratches, but she was understandably unhappy about losing her gun. Her husband is going to talk to the guy that sold them the ammo.

Internal modem in the HP?
It has an expiration date but I can't find it. I can't even find McAfee. Shows Bit Defender and Windows Firewall.
Modem is holding it back, I'm sure. Internal PC modem works better then using the External modem

Feeling pretty proud of myself. The Sesame Street puzzle I bought said 3-5 years, but I finished it in 18 months.

Went to a 1PM-9PM shift on the scrape-away/prep/cove 3MM Nora rubber. I got a lot more done without all the swinging dicks in my way. We should have done that from the start but generally I refuse nights. The shop doesn't have anyone to cover the job. It's funny, they pulled a guy off a huge job in Barstow to cover another night shift job I refused and I still wind up here anyways. They told me it was 3K square feet but they only send out 14 rolls (4' x 39.75')
think we're gonna be short.

 

[Incognito]

By myself again today. It's just under 300 s/y of Nora. Not sure when they expect to finish but I did the main layout, and dropped in 7 relatively short shots----roughly 40 s/y. They're running me off to another site tomorrow AM so I screwed out of there an hour early-----7 hours.

Looks good IN, How is that stuff to work with ?
