That lady looks like she's unsure if this is a joke or the casting couch.

You will find no one to help you here. Beth DuClare has been dissected and placed in cryonic storage.

Last week's casting couch vid was hilarious. It has them telling the girl "porn requires some acting, so we're gonna have you read a role with Vince here" and they hand her a folder with a script and they proceed to have her take the "what??" role of the "DOES MARSELLUS WALLACE LOOK LIKE A BITCH?!" scene from Pulp Fiction while the dude yells the Sam Jackson lines. I was just dying laughing.

Haven't really thought about dating since I got out of the Army but the prospects of dating during the pandemic in this dumbass country doesn't hardly seem worth it.

Zoom dates and masks/socially distancing seems like the norm for the foreseeable future since we have conservatives making everything 1000x harder than it needs to be.

I work for a giant environmental contractor as a "chemist," usually lab packing and hauling away chemical waste, especially hazwaste and RCRA stuff. I spent the last two days working at a roofing contractor's yard packing up several hundred drums, almost all two-part adhesives. Most of the drums were completely wrecked, holes punched in them, rusted all to hell, etc. When we finally finished, we asked the lady who runs their supply shop what the hell was happening to these drums, she told us all these crazy stories about lazy idiot roofers punching holes into drums instead of screwing in the bleeder lines for their mix-n-spray machines and leaving them in the mud at worksites and so forth
If the drums had been handled and stored in a manner that kept them in shippable condition, we could have just stuck labels on them hauled them away for about $5k. Dumbass construction bros cost their boss about $150,000 in materials and labor to handle their trash glue

The funniest part is that we brought every 30-gal drum we had in our warehouse, stopped on the way to pick up as many more as we could fit in our truck to over-pack their 16-gal drums, completely filled a tractor trailer with the packed waste, and still left about half of what they had in their yard.

Nice job multiplying your boss' overhead by 50, lmao

also very cool that I make about $250 for $150,000 of billables

Sorry - my dad is at home with hospice right now. I expect the phone call in the next 2-3 days.

He beat COVID, but it masked a real bad UTI that turned into sepsis and he's allergic to all effective antibiotics.

Sucks

E: Record him reading stories and books. Think of questions that you'd like to know about his past. I wish I would have done more of that with my dad.

Ah man, that's awful. I'm so sorry to hear that.

And thanks for your kind words everyone. My boss ended up telling me to take the day off so I spent a few hours in my yard just clearing brush and stuff to distract myself. This poo poo sucks but COVID also being an ongoing thing just makes it 100x worse. Fuckkkk.

Anyone else been without hard-line internet all day?

Anyway, got a quick question. A friend of mine was asking about on board courier work. You know, that thing where you get paid to fly around and either hand deliver or walk a package across the country or across the world.

I know it was big in the 90s but I didn't really think it was a thing anymore, not that I keep up on this stuff.

Anyone know anything about it?

CenturyLink dsl here. No problems. I was looking for poo poo on amazon earlier though, and kept getting rerouted to error pages, so I assumed something was up.

Yeah, looking around on the internet it seems like it still exists, but there's no real details about it at all, especially money.

There's a lot of places that act as brokerages for people willing to making a few bucks to use up their baggage allowances for random other people's poo poo but holy moly what a lame way to be a drug mule. And they are talking about 200 to 300 dollars. I remember that in the 90s they were paying 1500 for a round trip.

Ah well, I'll bow out of that one. I'll just tell my buddy to be careful. Sounds open to scammy poo poo.

Domestically I know bonded courier trucking is a (relatively) big thing. Stupid strict about what you do, where, and when, but the guy I talked to while we were offloading our stuff said it pays much better than regular trucking.

If you're talking about van lines, they used to be much better paying gigs pretty much run by old guard 70s truckers. A couple decades ago those jobs were hard to get, now that the olds are dying in droves, it's pretty much luck of the draw to get on with a van line.

That was back when driving for walmart was a good gig too. Their drivers used to make good money, paid per diem, company booked hotels and poo poo. Not sure on their situation now.
