A Wal Mart security employee at our DC was checking in trailers coming into the yard at the gate and was crushed between 2 trucks.  He did not survive.  This place is numb right now.  He handed me my badge to get in to the building today.  I'm beside myself right now.

Holy crap, that is beyond awful.  :( :( :(

Thanks guys. I've been thinking all night about greeting him getting my badge. I just fell for those who worked with him closely.  I could see the pain on their faces.

I heard management on the walkie talkie as it all went down.  It was tough to hear.

Yeah the managers at work are all " we care more about the team than we do about profit. "

Then they go out of their way to make our jobs harder. Thank F I only have one month left there. if I don't quit/get fired sooner !  :biggrin:  ;D :biggrin:

No offense, but there just seems to be so much more to that story...    ;) :) :)

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Holy Fuck!

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Sad walking by the table they made for him in the hallway walking out of the building. To lose your life that way is unfathomable.

Yea.

I got hired on to deliver for Amazon.

I lucked out. Most of the DSPs (Deliver service partners- the contract companies that does the last mile deliveries in the Amazon Prime Vans) suck ass... But from what I can tell from talking to the owner, other employees, and other drivers with different DSPs, the company that I'm starting with is pretty decent.

Hey Jay, could you not leave my package out by the garage?  It puddles there and the package always soaks through.

Our Fedex guy sucks, he will often leave packages by the garage door, even in the rain. He will also pull into the driveway sometimes leaving a nice oil spot in the driveway.

I guess this has also become the informal job thread.

So since where I work is falling apart (university counseling center), and we're down to me and one other psychologist, who has already accepted a job elsewhere after this semester, I was left wondering what to do. I was offered a position at a hospital with a 17k pay increase. Not too shabby. I told the acting director here that I had offers but would prefer to stay if I could receive a promotion and pay increase to justify it. He has since largely ignored it and not gotten back to me. So today I signed the acceptance letter for the hospital to also start after this current semester ends. Hope it all goes well!

Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

How can it be a Kanye West album if 10 people wrote each track ?
