What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

It is weird how that works. I know that when I interview prospects (I'm not a hiring manager, but may work closely with that position or have good knowledge of what the open job will entail) my job is to get a good prospect in the door. Even if I dislike my job, or am disgruntled in some way, I will spin it in the best light possible. Naturally, the better I do at getting good people in the door, the better the possibly making the place a better place to work, or feeling good about leaving (I don't leave if it will put the place in a big lurch or cause great hardship).

Yeah, and I'm one of those that complains about the dishonesty of job applicants . But at the same time I am extremely honest on my resume and during interviews to the point of downplaying my experiences a bit as I do NOT want to disappoint an employer right off the bat.

 

A little caffeine and sugar water in. Time to empty the ash bucket into the garden and then bring a little more firewood in. Then off to the enjoyment center for a bit. At least we will now start getting paid again next week sometime. Shutdown over. Well. Until February 15.......

 

Relieving those essential federal employees...

 

Tell him to take a shower like the rest of the men

 

Hold on there brother! Try keeping up with him for one day. It the only way to get warmed up after you get to that bone chilling pre-hypothermic state! His job is outside and in the winds out there. Doesn't take long for the chills to set in.


Even myself, I would draw a hot tub of water to sit in and regain a comfortable warmth back in those miserable working days. Way too many below zero days in windy conditions and no heat to have even the faintest of fond memories. Before the OWB heated the water, I would jump into the tub and the water would feel lukewarm at best. The unregulated heat of the OWB (no mixing valve) is such a benefit here and it will warm you up quick! Faster than the sauna!

 

Lol I've been in those shoes in my younger days. Dont miss it one bit!

 

I had to go to the doctor yesterday after still having a bad cough at almost two weeks after catching the flu. I couldn’t sleep at all. They gave me a Z-pak antibiotic and codeine cough syrup. Told me it could be a couple more weeks to fully recover.

Good luck to you, WW, and the entire family. Hope you all feel, better soon.

 

Dennis, that makes a lot of sense to keep the hot water just so hot. I remember the install guys telling me that you don’t want to go under a certain temperature. I can’t remember what that temp was or the reason why. It could be they just wanted me to keep burning more oil. Lol.

 

Not much going on today. Drove to town this morning to the Stihl dealer. Picked up some oil, new chain and a 2 in 1 file for dads MS170.

The boy had asked if we could do s'mores. Sure we can. Nice Saturday afternoon treat. He likes Hershey's and I prefer Reese cups.

 

Back in those days did they still heat the copper tub with wood ....................................

 

Feel better........X 3!!! One time for each of ya!

 

X4^^^

 

X 5

 

Wait.......so you toast the marshmallow, then pit it in the Graham cracker with a peanut butter cup???? WHERE HAS THIS IDEA BEEN ALL MY LIFE?

 

After almost 5 years, I figured it was time to finally have tunes in the Bronco. Spent a few hours out in the driveway, fairly cold out there. Not sure how the guys out ice fishing that I can see from my window are doing it. They have been standing out there for at least 5 hours.
