So an American is in Ireland, in a local pub and shouts out, " I'll pay good money to anyone here who can put down 8 pints of Guinness. A hundred dollars."
For a minute no one moves then one old lad stands up and says,"Give me a few minutes." and runs out the door.
People return to their business, the American turns back to the bar and things seem normal.
The lad returns bursting in and says, "I'll take that bet."
8 pints are lined up and the old lad proceeds to put away all 8 in record time.
The American is amazed and asks how he could do that?
"Well", the old sod replies,"I wasn't sure I could do it so I went down the road to another pub and tried it."

I wasn't sure how my knee was doing, our company was taking place in a charity bike ride which was 25 km. To see if I was up to it I rode my bike to the park, which was 15 km away. Got there and thought I could make it. I did but my knew was sore enough that I took an offered ride from one of the guys. Him and I made it to one manager's place for a beer and hot dog. Well one beer became a lot. No idea how he drove but then again, we were well practiced in the art of drinking.

And never thought of the relationship before now, I worked with him a few weeks after I started. Him and another guy said it was the rookie that had to buy a bottle of scotch on Saturday. Yeah, yeah, I am not that green behind the ears. Saturday came (this was an evening shift) and by this time I got to know the two a little, and 'plunk' I put a paper bag with a bottle on the counter.

"Holy shit!" They did not expect me to bring one in. The three of us polished off the bottle as well as the case of beer chaser. I did not mind the scotch that night, never liked it afterward. It is kind of fun turning the tables on people sometimes, especially when they don't mind.

Masks are such a burden for some poor souls who don't have an issue wearing a white hood, or a red hat for that matter, the red hat is just daytime attire. Back in the good old days folks did their bit, there was a war on, like today. A blast from the past.

If he dies, he dies. We all die. Isn't that what the right says? I hope he gets what's coming to him. Fear of dying and the terror that comes with it. Tick Tock, why is that clock so loud?

It's honestly a fascinating business case. My job is super technical finance stuff, employees have a great deal of power. A new management team came in that shit on technical knowledge and tried to treat it like manufacturing. The entire upper level of skilled people said fuck you and quit. They will not be able to meet client demands this coming year. They are managing themselves out of a job.

Donald usually fucks lawyers one at a time, but he's up to 9 at a time now, I'm sure he paid them well and will compensate them for their future income loss...

Federal Judge Sanctions 9 Pro-Trump Lawyers for Fraudulent Lawsuit Challenging Election Results

Michigan Federal District Court Judge Linda Parker issued a scathing, 110-page opinion sanctioning nine pro-Trump lawyers for their lawsuit that was an abuse of the judicial system designed to corruptly undermine Americans' faith and confidence in the results of the 2020 presidential election. Judge Parker also directed that her opinion be provided to the state bar authorities where each lawyer is admitted to practice for investigation and possible suspension and disbarment.

Those nine lawyers are: Sidney Powell, L. Lin Wood, Emily Newman, Julia Z. Haller, Brandon Johnson, Scott Hagerstrom, Howard Kleinhendler, Gregor Rohl and Stefanie Lynn Junttila - names that should go down in infamy.

I had a "boss" that worked as a foreman somewhere else.
Found a "deuce" on his desktop.

I have worked for 24+ years for a business developing.
Dreaming of shooting various people.
Fearing of being thrown out.
I become desperate in how I should deal with my wife.
Dementia.
The Owner called me into the office the other day.
Knew of my situation at home and told me that if I needed time off...Take it.
WHAT??
If I needed to reduce my hours....that's O.K. with him and he will cover my insurance.
WHAT??
Pick your battles.
Be Zen.

My boss lied to me twice during the conversation I had with him today. My industry is kind of like the police, attracts some people with horrible character, they just chase money/power in my world. Kind of getting out with this new thing and into a much more chill role, a more relaxed area of the financial world just doing operations.
