I got suspended from Nextdoor recently for not using my real first name. That was pretty funny. (They haven’t figured out yet that I don’t use my real last name either.)
They didn't like it when I identified as "Lamont Cranston" (does anybody remember that name?). I might try Polly Esther.
Mike Hunt.

Walmart today. There were WM employees everywhere, not to help, they were like ants stocking and arranging things. Cleanest, neatest WM I have ever seen, it was weird
I have a wound on the tip of my middle finger, dog bit it while I was trying to separate them. Ripped the nail in half and a deep cut on the side. Any way I needed some band aids, they didn't have Batman ones

Apparently my MINI-van is an oversized vehicle in NYC. The Holland tunnel is a lie. And who the fuck is Chelsea?

Was saying to myself that several years ago when I had the chance to scoop up an HK VP40 that I should have done so, though an FNH FNX 40 had recently followed me home then. I kick myself now.

It’s not really worth starting a new thread about, but I’ll brag on my production crew once more.
In two weeks’ time, with the addition of just one person (we’re getting a couple more shortly), these guys and gals have increased the daily throughput by 200%.
Once the new help is in place and trained, and a couple of supply chain issues get taken care of, we’ll be running much more smoothly.
It’s mild chaos right now, but we’re all still getting along.

A year or so ago, my company bought a bunch of equipment at auction -- from a former employer.
I'm reworking a pneumatic press bought in that auction, and opened up the control box yesterday to look for a wiring diagram.
Nice surprise: I found it.
Fun surprise: I drew it! It's dated August 14, 2008.

Are floods coming in style? Most of the young dudes I work with are wearing slacks and pants that are a couple inches above their shoes
They look pretty stupid

I don't wanna brag, but... yes! I drew it well, and the tech who added onto the diagram marked it well too.

I don't know which is worse, the high water pants or the suits that look like they are about two sizes too small.

Eleven-hour workdays kick my butt lately, even if the work isn't physical.

Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.
