NWI INGO General Post - Part 13

[Indiana lineman]

I'll be at work.

 

[actaeon277]

I'll be at work.

Kinda goes with the "lineman" job... doesn't it?

 

[actaeon277]

Well, I'm already scheduled for 7 shifts this week. So, there better be nobody calling off, or more broken stuff. Because I'm reasonably sure, I'm not going in except for my scheduled shifts.
They have problems and shut down... then FRIGGIN HIRE MORE PEOPLE!


Okay.
End rant.

Speaking of sitting in the garage. Finally cleaned the one side, so that I could put my trailer inside, out of the snow.


Now I just need to clean the other side to put the Escape in there, so I won't have to scrape windshields to get to work.

Baby steps.

I made the mistake of not putting both trucks in the garage one night. Now I can't fit either one in there. If you are making that kind of progress, I'm in awe.

I'll be at work.

Nipsco?

Just throw everything from that side of the garage in the trailer.

I made the mistake of not putting both trucks in the garage one night. Now I can't fit either one in there. If you are making that kind of progress, I'm in awe.

Well, I don't have anyone else here, so it's just me throwing crap over there. What happens is, I start a "project", and I have to kick the car and/or trailer out.
And I never put anything away, and start the next "project".
But, most of the stuff I need to do is done, except taking the rust off a flag pole and repainting it.
And I don't paint in the garage anymore.
The heater is there, takes a suction off the garage. It puts all the paint fumes into the house. Did that once. No more.

And I like my trailer off the driveway. I always worry someone will steal it.
And I like my Escape off the driveway. I like not having to scrape windshield before work.

Just throw everything from that side of the garage in the trailer.

Some stuff will go over there.
But mostly, I need to put the tools in their spots. I have a "spot" for every tool so I can find it later.
I bought pouches of new bolts, different sizes, many bags. I have storage containers for those to go in, so they are organized. At work, we have a drawer with small screws and bolts all jumbled together. I HATE THAT. Takes me longer to find what I need, than to do the job.
At home, I go right to my bolts, pull the right one out, and I'M DONE.

 

[actaeon277]

And throwing everything to one side, was how I got the trailer in, and I only started at 3:30 PM.
Tomorrow I have the whole day.

 

[actaeon277]

And I need to start up the snowblower to test it. Although I might do more than "testing" if the weather report is right.

 

[1775usmarine]

1775 Jarhead, have you got any plans for M&E that I have missed.

Nah the numbers weren't what they use to be so I gave it up.

 

[actaeon277]

[1775usmarine]

That and no matter the day or time voted on someone would complain.

 

[actaeon277]

Well... that's a given.
There's now way, with everyone's different schedules, that you can satisfy everyone.
If I couldn't make it, I always understood. I have one of the weirdest schedules. So, I complain about a lot of things. But not about people organizing Meet and Shoots, or Meet and Eats.

 

[2A_Tom]

Nah the numbers weren't what they use to be so I gave it up.

Well I guess that is what Marines do if it is hard, give up.

That and no matter the day or time voted on someone would complain.

Most of us were military, we have the right to complain.

...I don't know anyone that went to an interview and was asked to see the name on their diploma...

A bit different with large law firms. They actually recruit at specific universities. Maritime law firms recruit at Tulane. New York and Boston firms recruit from Northeast schools down to Virginia. Chicago firms recruit from the midwest but also from the northeast. Big firms are somewhat regional in their recruiting, and somewhat selective from specific schools. She wants to work in corporate contract law, probably international. So some schools may be better choices than others depending upon where she wants to live after school.

 

[2A_Tom]

Being your daughter I suspect she cherishes freedom and would prefer flyover country.

 

[Ballstater98]

Watching Star Wars (a Christmas tradition) and the wife brings our son in to watch Rudolph and steals the remote. He falls asleep and gets taken back to the crib. She leaves to make Christmas cookies. I hit the recall button. I'm not sure...did I win?

What type of lawyer is she aspiring to become and where is she looking to live may I ask? Just curious.

Might as well call it a win.

 

[chef larry]

Jedi and his snow.

 

[gunbunnies]

Got a little range time in before the snow after all today...
