Random Facts About You...xlviii

after thanksgiving the plumbing jobs are up.. and not the good kinda a plumbing bringing water in,, its the taking shit out kinda plumbing..

 

Where I work (McD's), almost ALL the cashiers - sooner or later - have to let the store cash their checks in order to pay them back whatever amount they have determined that you owe, and basically just so you can get your check.

When it 1st happened to me, I literally raised hell...which I NEVER EVER do at work. It was the principle of the thing, as I told them...I've never, at any point in my life, had a problem with a drawer. The managers I talked to actually seemed a little embarrassed, but oh well...they got their money anyway. lol

Lately I haven't had to have the store cash my check, but I know it could happen at any time. We are Not Allowed to count our drawer down and they Do Not take our names off the registers when we clock out or on the (rare) occasion we go on break. There will always be more people with their hands in a drawer than the person whose name is on it. I've even clocked in to find my name on a register. You are NEVER told when your drawer is short...you only find out when you are told you have to sign your check. When you ask to SEE and/or FIND OUT WHEN THE HELL THIS HAPPENED, you'd think you were asking one of them to cut off their arms. If you keep on and on and on then eventually they will probably (not always...its according to how persistent you are AND the amount of customers that are coming in) get around to showing you a sheet where you were supposedly short. There are times the sheet and the amount written down (on the outside of your stub) are not the same...the sheet being less. However, that does not matter...you give them whatever amount it says on your check stub.

My son claims this is not legal...but then he isn't having to deal with this and (thank God) he has a good salaried job where he doesn't have to put up with crap like this. For what its worth I save every single check stub (as well as time slips) and one fine day they may regret having made me (as well as others) give them money in order to get my check.

information and rant over.

 

That is illegal… There's no way that McDonald's head office would allow that to go on if they knew what was going if they knew what was happening… Something like that would make the national news

 

I know this because I am an expert on everything

 

Wow! That's some bullshit! I wonder how many other employers try to pull that shit.

 

Buddy of mine asked me to come over today when I got there he had about 20 pounds of leftover popcorn from the theater that he volunteers at… For the birds… But the dog likes it too…

 

Chickens will eat styrofoam with glee as a low cal substitute, (for popcorn)

 

Tell me about it brother… I had the lid off of the discarded hot tub massive huge pieces of Styrofoam… New paragraph… So I cut them all up measure every piece perfectly lined mind tire chicken coop in sick beautiful Styrofoam for the winter… Next thing I know the fucking birds are eating at the ate half of it

 

The last ever sons of anarchy just started

 

yes

 

When I lived out in Vancouver British Columbia… I worked in the ticket office for gross mountain… Used to handle about 1 to 2000 per day on a shift… Never one single time did I balance… Couple times I was out by like three 400 bucks they would just use the coupons that were laying around to fill in the missing money nobody ever said anything I loved. That job

 

RF: Used the new studio tonight. The recordings were pretty sweet. Too bad I didn't get a pic before people started tearing down. The guy that looks like a wizard is, in fact, our band wizard...who we call Wizard. And he's our sound guy.

 

And...I have to admit that I'm coming around to the new system. I think it's a huge pain in the ass to mic everything and soundcheck before every practice but the Wizard (no relation) has been pushing it for the last few months so we've done it lately. If he was a little faster, it would be better but he does a good job otherwise. But when you bust out some spontaneous riff and a cool jam develops...many times it is forgotten about later. But that happened tonight and when we got done I said "Did you get that, Wizard?" He said "Yup. I get everything!" Perfect. Save it and we'll come back to it later. That really is perfect because there is a huge difference between me or someone else writing a complete song or someone hitting a groove and everyone just responding and improvising. We're much better at improvising than being told what to play.

 

Every time I make popcorn Grace (dog) and Ember (cat) hang around to see if they can get some too.

 

Pretty sure over on the moonglow side of the river they are getting hammered with snow… On my side we are in a snow storm but it's not a serious one…

I need snow tires or at least brand-new all seasons… Sitting in the ferry lineup to head over and run errandsp

 

Had the GM recall done on the HHR today... Finally.

Local dealer dicked me around since May with different stories as to why they didn't have the parts yet. I went to another dealer last Friday, "no problem, be here Tues. or Weds. and we will have the parts". They did and it's done.

 

Well now I'm in a full-blown blizzard… Took my car with the trailer out in the cornfield to get more warden almost got stuck so I had to bail now I have a buddy coming over with his monster truck tomorrow to help me
