This 6am workout is a killer but man I'm feelin like a stud.

 

Goin out for my sisters bday tomorrow. Golf on Sunday. Have a bachelor party to go to next weekend so I need to build up the ole alcohol tolerance. What ru guys up to this weekend??

 

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

not sure how many FAs, everyone is profitable but like 8 of the partners are probably responsible for 80%+ of revenue.

 

by far the most profitable team is the one that began cutting the young guys in on new business. go figure, incentives drive performance and attract the best talent.

Beans, can work for you next summer?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ya know, I have been pondering about expanding a touch. The technology Ive been using for my own ill repute has suddenly taken on a life of its own....

 

 

 

 

For years I got by using a simple oxy/ace torch, grinder, and stick welder to make stuff for cars and the like. From there I added a MIG, TIG, and plasma to the mix. Wasnt long before CNC gathered my attention in the form of a war surplus Bridgeport

 

 

 

 

Within the last two years has been the biggest jump.... thanks to cheap and high quality parts from.... ahem....china..... Ive built my own draw/load/hit start/stepper motors turn ballscrews and make the parts machines myself.....

 

 

 

 

 

My first holyshititworksandworkswell machine was a simple plasma cutter.... Within minutes a simple part can be designed and cut from flat stock. Edges are a mite rough but load the same program into the mill, adjust the tolerances a few thou in and it comes out perfectly without wasting serious cash in tooling wear

 

 

 

 

Next was the four axis mill using a high rpm cutting head. Damn thing will take a square block of billet aluminum and whip out an arfifteen lower faster than you can close the toilet lid after shane "forgets" to flush...

 

 

 

 

The new kids to the playground are the printers.... which go hand in hand with the scanners. Anyone with ideas bouncing around in their head like me with access to the above is probably on a watch list somewhere. I almost hope so.... even gives me the willys most of the time

 

 

 

 

 

As you might imagine, the request for one of a kind parts has grown from a few buddies here and there to a constant harassment nowadays. Damn near have to fill out a work order and leave a credit card deposit to make my own stuff...

 

 

 

 

The next one you didnt ask? A monster with ten by twenty foot overhead rails using five axis linears to mill out an entire car body from a block of foam. Foam/fiberglass turns to molds. Molds turn to carbon fiber/epoxy resin composite parts ready to bolt on

 

 

 

 

 

Wanna be the coolest dad on the block? How bout givin junior a batmobile go cart? Buy me a scale model and a few beers later one will show up just in time for christmas. Probably with shane just ahead of the cops but thats a given....

 

 

 

 

 

Anyhoo, learn cad and brush up on basic machining before submitting a resume to Foxys, thirty thirteen highland, lv, nv c/o Beans, forehead on the table next to the shitter

 

 

 

 

I'll stay quiet and do whatever you tell me.

 

 

 

 

 

Hell, wanna get married?

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't think thats in God's plan for you.

I'm assuming that's a yes. Tell Foxy I'll be there at the beginning of June.

[hank213 1,823]

Although, no way he buys the shovel, lime and plastic wrap at full price

 

 

His cheapness would be his downfall

 

hmm. maybe strat can safely make the shindler joke. afterall, it's their sense of humor that has sustained his people for three thousand years.

All week I've been hoping that the guy that got the MS job (as you'll remember he's training here with my boss this week) would be good. Last thing I wanted to hear is that he's a POS.

 

Sure as shit I see my boss this afternoon and she pulls me outside to tell me she can't take another day of this guy (he'll be here all next week too). That he keeps telling stories of all the money he has/had, country clubs he belonged to in PA...basically just talking about himself and slothing around stores all week and that he creeps her out.

 

So she calls the Senior Director (her boss that, coincidently gave his 2 weeks notice this morning) and tells him that he made a big mistake. To make things worse she goes on to tell me that he responds with "Yeah, I've been kicking myself for the last month". Apparently he interviewed really well and was the panels #1 pick so he gave the guy the promotion even though prior to the interview he wasn't high on the guy.

 

Not sure why she told me all of that except that women are the worst.

Agreed.

 

Living well is the best revenge. Get a promotion with another company and crush the MS loser under your heel.

[Napa Lite 3,278]

On my way home from vacation. Another 2.5 hours of riding in a car followed by an hour of unpacking followed by a 3.5 hour drive by myself (assuming no traffic). Brv I can't wait to get home and shit in my own toilet and take a hot shower.

[Tiltinagain 973]

Quiet day yesterday. Got a little afternoon el sexo then fell asleep for a couple of hours. When I woke up the wife wanted to go out to the casino so we went out there so she could feed the slots while I played poker. Unfortunately my winnings couldn't out match her losings but sometimes you'll have that.

 

It was kind of a fun table though. Chatted up a couple of younger guys about their epic sounding home game in Huntington Beach and there was this 50ish mouth breather at the other end of the table. You know the type, total slob but wants to play table captain while bitching about everyone else's play and telling every new player and dealer that sat down how he had been "Sitting here since 2:30 and haven't seen a hand better than 99".

 

So a hand comes up where I'm the BB (blinds are $2/$5), 2 limp then the Mouth Breather makes it $20. 2 callers when it gets to me so I call with the other 2 limpers behind, who both end up folding. I have, of course, J 10 off suit. Flop comes A Q 6. MB bets $20 the 2 other players call so I come along. Of course the K hits the turn (no flush possibilities). I check, MB bets $65 the other 2 players fold and I push $175. MB SNAP calls. Kid to my right, who is a very solid player, says "J 10 chop, chop".

 

River blanks so I roll over my J 10 and MB comes unglued while slamming his A Q on the table and begins screaming "How the f'uck are you in this hand with J 10???" I just scoop up the pot and stay quiet and he continues "I f'ucking make it $20 pre flop and you CALL with J 10, what are you a f'ucking idiot??" The young guy to my right says "Well, me and the other guy had called and he was already in for $5 so...." MB is still standing up, flailing his arms around blathering on and the young guys says "when he pushed, what did you think he had? I almost repopped to represent J 10...". MB is really hot now and says "I had top two!!! how the hell do I NOT call the shove?? No way anyone is in that hand with J 10. F'ucking idiot!"

 

I kept my mouth shut and play continues and MB is still making little comments here and there when about 3 hands later he says to the guy to his right "be careful, there's a lot of idiot chasers at this table that will suck out on you". I'd had enought of his whining so I lean in towards him, look him right in the eye and said "Hey you little bitch, everybody at the table except YOU knew I had J 10 when I shoved. You SNAP CALLED and I'M the idiot? Shut the **** up already!".
