    I have to drive about an hour SE of Richmond.
    Saluta, VA came down for a 1 hour meeting at noon today. Traffic was not bad either.

    People who get in their own way is the rant for today. I get a protective homeowner, this is generally my prime customer, who cares about their property. But.. we are a 42 year old roofing company and this isn't our first job ever. I have a homeowner this morning who just cant seem to get the eff out of the way or wear a shirt. To top it off, he is a close talker which is a huge pet peeve of mine. I have some of the best roofing crews in this town and this chucklehead roofed a couple of houses once back in college so he thinks he is an expert so he decided to lecture my crew boss. The crew boss listened patiently and then told the guy if wanted to roof it feel free to go ahead and had the entire crew get off the roof. Handed him the spade fork and whataya know, the silly pickle smoocher decided to go sit inside.

    Thank God for hunting season. I hope I get cut my first day in the woods this fall, bleed a little while saying a curse word, kill something, inhale the cold air, and then go home and drink a Bud.

    This already exists, from what I remember of my sister's Barbie dolls, Ken has always been castrated. Yet one more reason I am glad I have all sons and that they love bows, baseball and punching bags.

    3-4 years ago we used to have a cap on our email storage. I get literally dozens of emails per day with pdfs. pics, etc. If I let my mail go for a few days w/o archiving, it would lock up and I'd have to get IT nerds to fix it. Problem is my group works mostly off site and I'd have to go to the main office to get my emails fixed, which in Chicago traffic this whole process would literally take half the day.

    Well, around that time we got 2-3 FNGs in my group and they all liked to "joke" (term used loosely- they were borderline morons and thought the dumbest crap was funny) on email and send memes and stuff; and then they'd "reply all" to said dumbest crap. Even mundane crap would get a "reply all" even though to someone with a modicum of brain activity it was obvious not all of us needed to know.

    Anyhoo, on one particular day these jackwagons locked my email up yet again when I was in the middle of something important; and I lost my ****. Like completely lost it. 3 hours later after it was fixed, I went into a scathing, bullet pointed, person by person dissertation complete with archived examples, screenshots, everything. I ended the email with these gifs

    No more "reply alls".

    (best part- on the list and in my work group were 2 "Bob"s, a "Blake", and a "Martin."

    Sat behind an a-hole that reclines his seat on the plane. There is only one kind of person that reclines a seat on a plane, an A-hole.

    I went to a crappy restaurant last night. Over 30 minutes for the food after my order. When I go to pay, the server brings a remote card reader... This is the option...[​IMG]

    Just think, the day is coming when robotic technology will replace servers in restaurants and then you will not have to tip at all. Some fast food places are already replacing the "cooks."

    The Subway I go to has a new card reader, suggesting a tip amount. Never tipped at subway not going to start now.
