Hey, you the one axin' about the Pale grant. That ain't the rill dill.

Pete Zicato 03-24-2011 01:45 PM

Look at this! Would you just look at it?



infinite monkey 03-24-2011 01:56 PM

omg that is hilarious.

infinite monkey 03-28-2011 08:07 AM

Pete, that vid is famous now amongst my brother and his cronies. We were at my nieces Volleyball game yesterday and I was on the sidelines with both brothers and my sis-in-law's brother (uncle to A) and I said "well would you look at that" and both my brother and the other uncle chimed in and we were laughing our asses off.

Today: whining cow orker. It sucks for all of us right now, bub, and half of us have been sick. Shut up and stop making me feel I need to tiptoe around you so as not to upset the delicate balance that is your genius and professionalism. :right:

The tab on my fly zipper keps getting turned to the side, making it difficult to unzip. Don't want to pee my pants.

plthijinx 03-29-2011 10:41 AM

I know, i know, I'm a pilot. But i am afraid of heights. I'm sitting in the cab of a ship offloading crane rfn. The cab and control room are ok but the access cat walks makes me nausiated. Was going to attach a pic but i can't upload one now for some reason...

That's a sign of intelligence.

Really, plt? I love heights. Fun and scary...scary fun!

How do you get beyond that when flying? Especially small planes? Do you just concentrate on the job at hand?

jimhelm 03-29-2011 11:22 AM

Ok.... this is really more of a 'what's mildly irritating you EVERY GODDAMNED DAY OF YOUR PITIFUL EXISTENCE?' post.

ok... so.. see these?

http://janhoran.com/images/55-1-PAP-...%20Jackets.gif

These are 'Deal Jackets'

We put all of the documents and copies and stuff in there for each deal. If you were putting papers in one of these, which side would you put the top of the letter oriented forms on? Would you put them to the left? I would. And I would put THEM ALL THE SAME FUCKING WAY! ...AND FACING THE FRONT FOR FUCKS SAKE!

GAH!

infinite monkey 03-29-2011 11:26 AM

SRSLY.

I have way too many paperwork hangups at work. It seems logical to me, the method to my madness.

In HS the lady who ran the farm market was very upset if we didn't have all our bills facing the same direction when we turned in our drawers. I still cannot pay for anything without rearranging the bills.

Weird, I'm so OCD about some things, completely lacksadaisical about others.

My hitherto-unknown-identical twin. I make the lifeguards at the pool line up the dollar bills. But I'd put the documents in Jim's folder higgledy-piggledy just to amuse myself :lol:

glatt 03-29-2011 11:34 AM

I'd put the docs with the tops to the left, but only because I'm right handed. A lefty would probably put them the other way.

jimhelm 03-29-2011 11:35 AM

which would be fine if they were ALL that way, glatt. Jesus, I swear he does it on purpose.

Another thing I would do (I did this when I did 'verifications' at my old job, it really didn't take any longer and the auditors appreciated the organization) would be to put the paperwork in a certain order. I'd pull it all out of the envelope and reorganize it...some would have different paperwork but there is still a general order.

I also remove all the old staples when I staple a new sheet onto a stack of previously multiple-stapled papers.

And the staples HAVE to be at an angle to the corner. Any fool knows that when you're looking at stapled papers that diagonal staples make the paper lay the right way when you're flipping through. Otherwise the paper tears.

jimhelm 03-29-2011 11:44 AM

ohjesus. don't get me started on staples.

monster 03-29-2011 11:47 AM

TPS Report clean-up in the mild irritation department!

glatt 03-29-2011 11:49 AM

If you have stapled documents going into a 3 ring binder, the staples need to be vertical so the pages can be turned. It's still awkward putting stapled docs into a 3-ring binder, but if you angle the staples it would be impossible.

infinite monkey 03-29-2011 11:52 AM

Well, I wouldn't PUT stapled docs into a three ring binder. I would remove the staples and, if necessary, put clear plastic dividers between the docs that need to stay together. I mean, COME ON, stapled papers in a binder? Why for? :p:

infinite monkey 03-29-2011 11:53 AM

I'm having an anxiety attack thinking of glatt's vertical staples. :lol:

jimhelm 03-29-2011 11:53 AM

I want to staple some of my salesmen's heads to their desks for the staple abuses they perpetrate. Or at least fill their staplers with Mayo.

Flying is different. Much like driving a car. Your enclosed and strapped in. Standing on the edge of a platform way up there gives me the heebie jeebies!

ok....safe at home now. here are a few pics of what gave me the heebiejeebies....the cab was cool though. had a car stereo in it that sounds better than my truck does! that is my truck there btw....

nah, whatcha do is this...if their door handle on their truck/car is recessed, you know where you stick your fingers up and in to open the door, take bean dip and a putty knife and fill the handle with said bean dip. they won't see it and when they go to open their door? the look on their face is PRICELESS!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

infinite monkey 03-29-2011 03:27 PM

Fun! I mean, heights give me the willies, but not in a really scared way. Spiders and other crawlies, those are my fears. Being nervous about heights makes a hell of a lot more sense than being afraid of spiders!

I skimmed this and thought you were telling him to fill spaces in their heads (like a hollowed out temple) with bean dip.

I should go now. :unsure:

You can use them to level wonky desks.

Well it is now.

jimhelm 03-31-2011 04:42 PM

I'm told a drop of vinegar will cure this condition of dryness in a marker.

Is there anything vinegar can't do?

Trilby 03-31-2011 04:48 PM

Vinegar donuts...ew.

lookout123 03-31-2011 04:48 PM

Taste good.

jimhelm 03-31-2011 04:50 PM

you don't like malted vinegar on steak fries?

TheMercenary 03-31-2011 09:22 PM

Malted vinegar on steak fries rock! Esp if served with some really good Fish and Chips.

monster 03-31-2011 09:36 PM

you want steak fries with your fish and chips?

TheMercenary 03-31-2011 09:43 PM

Yep.

monster 03-31-2011 09:57 PM

what type of chips do you want, then?

TheMercenary 03-31-2011 10:06 PM

Steak fries.... no wait....

Freedom Fries. Fuck those Frenchy things... :)

Aliantha 03-31-2011 10:24 PM

steak fries...are they like fat chips? We usually call them chunky chips over here.

Aliantha 03-31-2011 10:25 PM

and the thing that's mildly irritating me today is the rain which has caused footy to be called off for tomorrow. Hopefully tonights game will still be on though.

TheMercenary 03-31-2011 10:31 PM

It has rained here for the last few days. We need a really good tropical storm to fill our ponds.

TheMercenary 03-31-2011 11:11 PM

Worked 144 hours in 12 days. I need a day off but have one more 24 hour shift starting at 7 am and then a two day break before another one. I am about fried. But I can do one more.... one more.... one more..

The current crop of theater movie fare. Mindless crap.

BrianR 04-05-2011 10:48 AM

What he said!

Is it me or has Hollywood stopped making new movies and is simply recycling OLD movies? Numbered sequels, remakes of good movies into bad movies, reimagining good movies and being on acid or something this time round seems rampant. Last "new" movie, IMO, was The Matrix.

monster 04-05-2011 10:58 AM

(IM is a she)

footfootfoot 04-05-2011 11:05 AM
