And yes, I was "allowed" to leave at 4:30 PM. Other than that a pretty decent day.

Turns out Supervisor X told Coworker Y that he forgot to tell the dayshift crew that the schedule has changed. Today, like Monday, is supposed to be 7:00 AM - 5:30 PM. Since I'm temporary help, Coworker Y does not have my contact information and I end up being the only one showing up by 6:00 AM.

Supervisor X informs us Saturday morning we're going from six 12 hour days down to six 10 hour days starting Monday. On Monday, our schedule is 7:00 AM - 5:30 PM. The remaining week our schedule is 6:00 AM - 4:30 PM. I'm off on Sunday and Monday goes by without a hitch. Bright and early I arrive later than I normally do. In a hurried panic I race to grab my time card and clock in on time. 5:50 AM! Excellent! ...then I turn around and realize I'm the only one there...

Gotta wait until the 4th for the other half of the puzzle

Its all bull shit anyways. My brother is into body building and lifts a shit ton of weight, but has no real strength. His punches are weak, he can't loosen a stubborn bolt, and when we wrestle, I simply whip his ass. He's got 40lbs on me and it's all muscle and still doesn't have the strength I have. A true body builder really does work out just to gain the muscle and there are plenty of ways to gain it without gaining actual strength Which is fucking stupid. The amount of small penis's in the world is unbelievable. Not sure why they care so much what they look like, but instead should focus on how they feel. And believe me, that will help more with women than some fake muscle bullshit. Insecurity is a bitch. Hell look at the Anthole, rofl. Well its got similarities to the people who have the Porsche/BMW/Mercedes or the big SUV, flashy jewelery, etc. They have a quest to 'compensate' for a shortcoming some place else. Mommy didn't love me, I have no coordination, I am a fucking moron on anything else, small dick, etc. I know in the case of some of the guys I work around, they were 300+lbs in school and consistently made fun of. They lost the fat by getting in the gym, stuck with it because it made them feel good physically and mentally. Now some people do get TRULY obsessed like with any other 'hobby' or 'sport'. And those people are the EXCEPTION not the rule. I will say this, just like building a World Record SPL or SQ car, a car to win a race in NASCAR or some other racing circuit, or maybe even to be a high jumping Olympian it takes a SHIT TON of dedication and 10x more willpower. Now that being said, some of these 'body builders' are fucking shit heads. Complete and utter self centered, self obsessed douche bags who wouldn't help their little brother learn a thing much less anyone else. Again, we are talking about the exception not the rule. Personally I enjoy hitting the gym when I have the time. Lately I have had little to no time to get in there especially with a hernia and a shittastic knee; and a wife who hates not having someone to vent to immediately after work. I gotta start back in there cause I am getting 'tubby' and that will not fly in my line of work. J Pretty much agree...with the caveat on the cars being a bit different. I drive a Mercedes. Not because I give a rats ass that it is a Mercedes, but I wanted the best crossover vehicle (drives like a car, pulls a trailer) that would be the least of a compromise. Most people buy things for status. That is pathetic, buying anything extreme for actual use is a completely different situation. "We are not athletes, we are athletic mannequins." -Milos Sarcev

Right now I have a 7 day split; work seventy two hours in a row, off the seventh day. Really helps

needless to say he got taken to the woodshed, verbally at least

http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/unisex/frustrations/e718/ thinking about buying this for my dad funny story: right now they're trying to bring unit 2 back online, and my dad is basically babysitting the control room he literally sits there doing sudoku puzzles while listening to his sony mp3 player and anytime the reactor operators have a question or concern they ask him shift manager didn't care too much for that last night and told the operators "don't ask him, he's in the training department, he doesn't know the answer to that" yeah he doesn't know anything, he just helped bring the unit online for the first time back in '89 he doesn't know it better than most people know their family or anything pffft

Teenage hillbillies tried to run me off the road on the way home. Good thing I was anxious to get home and have some supper or else I would've taken my work related rage out on 'em. Yes, I have been working since six this morning but I have more than enough energy to beat some respect into all three of you.

Watching a 200 ton generator rotor being hoisted into place is fucking cool, btw

Like the 300+ tons of steam turbines and that 25kV, 1.25 GW generator

Yes, those rails for the gantry cranes do have dirt on them, must be because they're on top of the fucking building. There aren't any weeds up there either, as the roof is really thick concrete. Like, a couple of feet thick. You know, to support the weight of those gantrys and their loads, and the weight of the other stuff up there.
