No I'm slackin' not in the mood to work. I just found out I'm going to have to start rotating work hours. Last month it was we need you to carry an On Call phone.

Other past "Changes"
We need you to start doing the Receiving for Asset Managment
We need you to start scheduling and asigning all PC and laptop builds, printer instals, PC moves, and software installs.
We need you to incorporate most of the Level II workload into your daily tasks.
We need you to train and supervise the new employees...

Let's just say that the Pay raise is um..nonexistent.

Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?

Don't forget the cover sheets on the TPS reports. Did you get the memo?

And the farther you go on the roll the more difficult they become to open.

I once drove 12+ hours to Cincinnati to look at an old motorcycle with a buddy. It was a total jallopy. I asked, "Didn't you ask them if it ran?" My buddy said, "I did. They said, 'It ran when it came in here,' failing to mention it had been there for a decade."

I almsot puked when we opened the gas tank. It was that bad.

Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your Butt?

which reminds me, I happened to be somewhere which happened to have an old equipment auction.

Good thing my old man wasn't there; $1,000 could've bought you an old tractor. Heck for $1,000 (or less actually) I would've been tempted to buy one.

I've had people invite me to big bike meets like that also. My take is, if I'm going to spend time on the machine (especially a weekend) I want to be somewhere where I can RIDE. I mean ride without congestion . . . ride without being noticed . . . ride without stopping every 5 minutes to wet my whistle . . . you get the picture.

Usually what makes up 90% of the "Harley riders" (or what I've personally seen of them) are old fat guys that work in my office. All week long they are all dressy at work with their donuts in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other. Then they sit and wait patiently for all the fiber they've been munching on the night before (while watching cnn, the weather channel, and Matlock) to work its magic so they can spend the remainder of the morning sitting on the can talking about the next ride they're gonna go on.

So when the "Big Ride" takes place, all the pudgy butt old guys are now suddenly hell bent for leather with their skull jackets, bandana's, leather studded chromed out bikes with their wives usually just as old, and pudgy sitting on back of the hog trying to look like they are in their 20's once again and showing you more skin then you EVER wanted to see gather for the big meet.

"Now guys, we've got a 400 mile ride this weekend that according to my calculations should take us about a half a month to get there due to the fact of all the bathroom breaks and donut shops we'll be stopping for..."

Yup, that's what I've seen..

Why do people insist on telling you something you don't give 2 $@#*! about?

Reminds me of some of the girls i see out at the bar. I was playing pool with my friend and her husband. I saw some walk in and i instantly yelled out "dar she blows!!!! man the harpoon!!!!!!"

Needless to say i got slapped by my friend.

I do know i'm a horrible person, but i'm ok with it
