I was rear ended by a literal ton of tile yesterday. Driving the company van on the highway with a pallet of marble tiles in the back, and of course, we have no ratchet straps or tie downs at all in the company van. Since it's in Chicago and Chicago is the worst, some dickhead cuts me off and brakes so hard that we go from 70 to ~20. Guess what's still going 70? If there wasn't also an old A/C unit and some plywood behind me, I'd probably be dead right now. I honestly thought that I was hit by a car at first because it was so loud, painful, and jarring. Thankfully, no tile broke, but now I've got whiplash

Utter utter despair and trying to face the clear fact that this garbage country is stuffed with closed minded racists who will happily see children starve if it lets them be racist more. Also my son will rely on the NHS until he dies so that will be fun to watch be eviscerated, while I'm trying to stay employed in a country that no European company will use as a manufacturing base. Apart from that? loving dandy mate, how about you? Also trying not to think about speaking to family at Christmas, because holy gently caress I'm 99% certain they all voted Tory cakesmith handyman fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Dec 13, 2019 |

The company I work for is subcontracted to do the work I do, by one of the country's largest engineering firms, who are in turn, contracted by one of the county's largest telecos. Right now said one of the country's largest engineering firms is withholding $350 of money I've earned from 14 work orders because their own staff are too lazy to close my work orders correctly.

I completely forgot I ordered homemade tamales from a coworker at work. Last night he told me he'll have them ready for me a couple of days before Christmas, and asked if I could go ahead and pay tonight (he'd mentioned he'd need the money ahead of time when I originally talked to him about them). So I need to run by work with a bit of cash for him. In Dallas, La Popular was the best option unless you knew a coworker or neighbor that made their own. I did live in a neighborhood for awhile where neighbors sold them door to door (always around the holidays, and at random the rest of the year if they needed money), but I usually had to opt for La Popular. Here.... I haven't found a place with solid tamales yet. I've heard of a couple of places, but they're a pretty good drive (25 miles - in DFW 25 miles is nothing, it didn't take long after moving to Austin for me to realize 25 miles is pretty far to drive for food.. or most stuff in general). I have several coworkers who either hail from Mexico, or whose parents are from Mexico. Several have mentioned they're making tamales. I can't wait. I'm kinda wishing i'd ordered more - I only have 2 dozen coming. GF's mom will be in town for Christmas, and like GF and I, she loves good tamales. meatpimp posted:Edit: The best part is they even list it as having a sunroof in the ad.

3000 miles ago it had a broken sunroof, no horse cock shifter and the engine plastics installed. That speaks to a HARD 3k miles that included a ROOF SWAP, since it doesn't have a sunroof now.

Fermented Tinal posted:Why does Canada have to be the only country to reject this kind of bullshit? Because we're really good at hiding the racists away somewhere when it becomes important and election campaigns are limited to like, two months total by the elections act. There isn't time for the chuds to hype the half-chuds up to full chud status with election furor. Also, depending on who you ask, we're actually a nation of America grade racists with a veneer of politeness and monarchism but better teeth than the motherland. But those tend to be the same people who refuse to vote because none of the parties are running on the platform of "everyone who isn't indigenous moves back to Europe".

I was able to guess who the guy hired as I have been sued by this dude in the past.  On a scale of 1 to 10, how likely are you to hire a lawyer with a chinstrap? Dude specializes in personal injury and frivilous lawsuits. Dude's a fuckin ambulance chaser.

Welp, the girlfriend went all in on sending an e-mail to her recruiter to forward to the hiring manager that just was just flat out open and honest about her situation. The recruiter withheld her cancer diagnosis (likely a good idea for the time being) but made sure the hiring manager was aware that she'll have routine appointments she has to go to. Sounds like they're more than alright with that, and she verbally accepted the job this morning. They're just working on getting details and a start date on paper.

Yeah, that's going to get thrown out immediately, otherwise all security cameras that record anything outside of the property, ATM cameras, Doorbell cameras, traffic cameras, and using a camera phone in public is going to be illegal.
