FrankL Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 What base is he using?We always add padding when we bid for a client. I have one client whom I pad a reasonable amount and then double it. Because if I don't double my padding, I will wish I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilDrPuma Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 My nerves are shot. There's been a car alarm going off what seems like continuously all morning in the parking lot. God, what I wouldn't give to be able to take a baseball bat to the damned thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Oh look, a mandatory all-hands company meeting has been called with less than 90 minutes' notice. I wonder if it will be good news? [/sarcasm] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Celt Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Young people I know use the term 'kidnap' when they want someone to take them away because they're bored or want to avoid doing some chore. The passivity of it annoys me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 This morning I did not run over the donorcyclist who dumped his bike in front of me, though only barely. Poor guy. I ruined my tires standing on the brakes, but they were long in need of replacement anyway, so I didn't mind so much. In fact I have a new set on order already. But now the ABS computer in my wife's car has failed, and such is the awesome engineering of a luxury brand that it took the VDC and slip control with it. Now it is 4pm on a weekday, I am headed into another mandatory all hands meeting, and I have no idea how my wife is going to get to work tomorrow. Nor do I have any idea where to come up with the money to buy another car. I suppose I could sell the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 A new ABS pump/VDC computer unit costs one thousand American dollars. On top of the suspension work that it also needs, it looks like that car is not going to answer the bell. Otoh the problem is intermittent, so in theory we could still drive it. I mean, what the hell, it's just the brakes. Who uses those anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrosshairCollie Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I had some insomnia last night, so I got up early and started dinking around on the computer. Not long after, my wife comes out of her bedroom to sleep on the couch; when her back starts hurting, she sleeps 'sitting up' against the arm of the chair. Since I'm awake, I help her with the blankets, and get a pillow for her back. While positioning the pillow, she adjusts the blanket ... and proceeds to elbow me square in the groin. Good morning to you too, dear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Looking for new computers was a lot of fun last time; now it's just a drag. Looking for a new car has never been enjoyable, and nothing has changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gewing Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Last week my mom fell and broke her pelvis. Not major, but she is in a rehab facility. My dog is in the Vet's with pancreatitis, and I still haven't found a new job. Dangit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkdguy Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 My first week in my new job, and I've caught a cold. I don't have enough time accrued for a sick day, which wouldn't be a good way to start a new job anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Could be worse--my job doesn't give sick days. The fashion around here is to lump vacation and sick time into "PTO" (paid time off), which conveniently adds up to the amount of hours you would get if you just eliminated sick leave. So basically, if you want to be out sick, you have to burn vacation days. Which is why there are always sick coworkers wandering around the office spreading germs.

tkdguy Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 When I worked in San Francisco, employers had to grant 1 hour of sick pay to employees, even part-time ones, per 30 hours worked. I don't think that law exists in San Bruno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
