got to watch the last MotoGP race of the season last night. It wasn't showing in the komkast guide but I turned to the station just as the warm up lap started, I was headed out but hit record and got to watch it later. Guess I need to drop Komkast and just subscribe to motoracing.

Next season, watch on HBO Max.

I'd rather work for a small company these days as it's more likely you'll be treated wit integrity, big corps are just looking at the bottom line the majority of the time.

After my time with Republic, I can pretty well assure you I'll never work for another public company again. Large or small.

... packing 1200 kits instead of the required 1275, that boss and job can go fk themselves.

If all previous employees were able to pack 1300 to 1500 kits in a day (with the actual quota being 1275) why wouldn't someone be upset with a worker that can't or won't meet that quota?
Oh my gosh I know we hired you to do X, but since you're special you're allowed to only do .75X and everyone else will pick up your slack.

Nah. No yelling but no job either.
 
I was clinically trained about transference/countertransference and do not involve myself in such exchanges.
When they do occur (at the boys Ranch one inmate constantly requested that I sit on his lap) I draw firm boundaries and explore what is behind that request.

It is usually testosterone and boredom.

I love pastas because I like making my own sauce.
Bucatini rules.

My limit is changings things up with different spices to keep the pasta interesting. I don't have the patience for cooking everything from scratch.

My go to meat is usually sausage but I like using shrimp sometimes too. Maybe crab if it's on sale.
 
Goood morning! Hope all is well.
Cleaning out my little boat today.
 
Hi

Probably rain tomorrow
Probably water dripping down the side of the building again instead of the trough and the gutter and the pipe
Have no ladder
eh.
 
Been raining all day here so far and forecasted to continue late into the evening. A nice change of pace before the cold sets in.
 
power is out in the El Cerrito hills, running router on little UPS that's good for maybe an hour
 
No, I’m really cleaning out my little boat 😂
In other news had an M&G interaction. He’s alive.

No yelling is good, but I've worked in high-daily-production-environments and they are rough. Couple jobs back, you could always tell when someone came from those types of environments, they worked scared, apologized profusely, yes-sir/no-sir, often lied-and-denied when they messed up, because everything leads to a path out the door. Sometimes they'd relax after a while, but sometimes not. The techs we'd get from the military were totally different, it's like you were hanging out at a bbq from day one. Military strictness ain't got nothing on high-production manufacturing.

Like the bottom-of-the-barrel warehouse jobs at Amazon, gotta move a certain number of packages every day or it's an automated write-up, people standing around the timecard machines since they can't punch in at 6:57, because they'll get in trouble for 0.25hrs OT every week. A guy I knew worked at a bindery and he had to write people up for being 5min late because it would prevent them from making daily production numbers as a matter of basic math. People having a bad taco truck day would cause their shift to underperform and they'd have to talk about it, like group talks about Todd's diarrhea causing them to not hit their numbers.

Manufacturing/production in a more tech environment is so much better. Someone sucks one day and you ask what happened, they weren't feeling well, oh okay bud go home and get some rest. Someone that's underperforming, people get together to look at instructions or fixtures or training to help them out. Maybe eventually they get fired if they're one of those real oddballs, but it's a solid effort for a while before that process even starts. Just a totally different mindset, like the difference between, "do it or fuck off", versus, "how can I help?".
