    I have to go to Pensacola next week that involves me flying thru Atlanta again, seems like I waste 4 hours a week sitting in Atlanta, I hate the Atlanta airport just as much as Detroit.

    There were certain airports I would try to avoid connecting through when I was traveling...ATL was definitely one.

    My Dad was on my rear parts 24/7 if I did something stupid. Routinely spoke about telling the truth and holding the line if you felt strongly about something. He took that very serious.

    ALT airport is one of the worst, it’s always the layover when I go to my friends in FL. I did a few direct flights with spirit to FL outa Arnold Palmer but they were a nightmare.

    When I was a poor service man, I flew from Denver to Milwaukee via Atlanta. This was 1984. Flew into one side and out the other with a 45 minute layover. Was told dont rely on the moving sidewalk to get me to the other side in time to make the outbound...i was the last one to board...

    18 interior doors in a house. 17 of them needed cut to not drag on carpet. I hate installers most days... just wish they would do it the same. And no need for 85 Brad nails in one door jamb.

    Frozen/store bought Pizzas.
    What a crock of ****!!
    I've been buying brand name (LottsaMattsa) for 10 years.
    About one a week.
    They have dropped the weight by 6_8 ounces, price went up and what used to have a visable portion of some semblance of beef/sausage in now mostly pepperoni.
    Fricken crooks!

    How can an appraiser put their personal thoughts in your appraisal? I feel they're unfair! Trying to buy a farm and sell my house.

    Stressful.

    But hi guys!

    Our division director had 3 HR complaints filed by 3 separate team members, so HR interviewed our entire team. Nothing great was said and there were lots of ethics complaints, lack of leadership complaints, and some other stuff that should just get someone fired. Result: more meetings with the director.

    Un effing real.

    Sounds like my job. We have a county hired consultant in right now. They interview employees and board members. Complaints were the board and the operations supervisor - lack of leadership.

    It's been hell the last month.

    Wife is out on the lake with the pontoon I told her that I looked at the radar and said a storm is coming, She replied it is going to miss us, I replied OK good luck. Evidently when you see the radar and warn people and they ignore you and you say good luck you are being an ass. I will be an ass again when her and her friends try to dock in a rain storm and I stay in the house. I just got a text we are coming in hot, I replied you are strong independent women, you got this on your own.:lol:

    How did that end up working for you? I've tried that a couple of times with terrible results. I'll assume that the wind came up at the same time as the rain, making it infinitely more difficult to land the boat.

    Keep seeing this older guy at local grocery store that wants everyone to know he is gay. No problem. Today he is wearing skin tight light colored spandex with his entire package showing via outline.

    Then is pushing a cart with a megapack of tampons
    Get the hell out of here.
