    People at work that use the Keurig and don’t throw away their used pods.

    I refuse to take part in any coffee group at work, you have the parasites that don't pony up any $ and drink the coffee, the idiots who do not clean up after themselves. My pet peeve is when somebody brings in a box of donuts. I want to piss pound the fat idiot who takes the last donut and is either too lazy or stupid to put the empty box in the garbage. I buy a newspaper every day to read while I eat lunch, I used to leave it on the table in the break room when I was done to share with others. That was until I could go into all 4 restrooms in the building and find sections of the newspaper. People do not get paid to read the paper while they sit on the toilet, I run the entire paper thru the shredder when I am done reading it now.

    -26 degrees out with a wind chill at almost -50. Glad I’m getting off shift right now and not coming on. Today is brutal.

    Take an oil pan fill it with charcoal when the flames die down slide it under the engine, wait an hour and it will start.

    Drive an hour and 15 minutes to our office in Minnetonka to find out they sent an email at 841pm last night saying to stay home and work remote. I do not have work email on my phone and do not check my computer at night/before I leave in the morning.

    Prepare a little better and send a formal communication during business hours you freaking goons.

    The cherry on top is that our boss lectured us yesterday that “you are expected to be in the office whenever possible” after a few employees worked remote on Monday during the snow storm.

    Well I know its officially cold up north now.. I have a German friend I met while living in Munich that now lives in Minneapolis. I lived through -24 while in Germany and anytime I said it was cold out he would respond with his typical Bavarian saying "Cold weather is better for your health." Talked with him last night and now he is somehow whistling a different tune..

    You know it’s bad when you’re breaking records for cold temps in central/northern MN!

    My truck started the wife's did not, no worries I will give her a jump. What the hell is wrong with people that design vehicles now, I used the stupid funky red pin, had to contort to get the clamp on the negative post. All I had to do was take my choppers off and nick up a nuckle and I got it on.

    I used to have an '05 Dodge Magnum. Battery was in a compartment in the rear cargo area. Not hard to get to- unless you backed your car into the garage or against a wall parking spot. Did that at work routinely until I had to get a jump once. D'oh!

    We are shutting down production in our foundry and machine spaces due to a shortage of natural gas and electricity. Guess who gets to stay? Office workers.
