Two different things.acidrock said:And exactly how much of a big deal is beating the West Indies?Their Army wouldn't stand a chance against a high school street gang.

Ah, yes, the appreciation of culture is a subtlety best known to those who know itacidrock said:Apparently the words "boring" and "civilized" mean the same thing in other countries.
What are you complaining about? At least its quietacidrock said:My wife had a bottle of wine last night and she's still laying in bed.

Started another bathroom project today. Essentially just painting and some regrouting of the floor. Man I can't tell you how much fun chiseling out old grout is. Good for the knees too. Too bad you guys don't live closer so I could let you in on this.
I may have to drink tonight to dull the pain.
Weather's been absolutely beautiful for the past few days. 70's, sunny, no humidity. Yesterday it actually got up to around 86. A little too hot for my taste, but today was a bit milder. (Of course, I spent most of it in bathroom with no windows.)
Any job in which progress is measured in inches (mm) and which the entire work area involves a significant number of feet (meters), is certainly not my idea of fun.Paul881 said:If old grout doesn't come out easily, I use a Dremmel with a flexible drive attachement and a small thin grinding wheel to grind it out. Either way, I agree, its a horrible job.
Thanks Mike, I think I did enough to pass...or so I believe....dachay2tnr said:Any job in which progress is measured in inches (mm) and which the entire work area involves a significant number of feet (meters), is certainly not my idea of fun.
Good luck on your exam results. I'm sure you did fine.
You know it took place in Wisconsin. Wonder if Acidrock made any guest appearances. He does look a little like Squiggy without hair.Paul881 said:Happy Days
(now that was a great program )I used to rush home from school to watch it.

And I suppose a liter is a litre. Damn English can't even spell right. We Americans don't even use the damn system, and we can still spell it.Paul881 said:BTW, meters are used in Europe for measuring utility usage. And Metres are what women use to measure their lovers d***s
Actually, to be very correct, it isn't the English system - it is the Imperial systemdachay2tnr said:And I suppose a liter is a litre. Damn English can't even spell right. We Americans don't even use the damn system, and we can still spell it.
Anyone else find it odd that Americans use the English measuring system, and the English don't.
As, apparently, did NASA when they tried to land a spacecraft on Mars.Paul881 said:Its just when they get mixed that I get confused.
The Brewers lost today,now I know what it's like to be a Yankee fan.Baseball
Yanks are officially in last place today. They have been decimated with injuries to their pitching staff, but still, with a payroll of $200 million you would think there be some backup somewhere.

Are two things that make perfect sense yet people don't want to embrace them because "they're too complicated".
Work
I had a customer go off on me today because I wouldn't work on an operator he installed without getting paid.He let loose with F-bombs called me an idiot all the usual stuff and I just got nicer and nicer.That really kills the screamers,they hate that.
It was a small contractor who has us install the doors but puts his own openers in.He called in a service request for a door I installed and when I went to the job I saw immediately that an eye was out on the opener.I called to tell the guy I'd have to charge to fix it,but he instead said it was a door problem.Gee,if you know more than me about doors,why don't you install your own?I mean it's been working out so well with the openers.

I'm quite sure you passed the test.
The last test I took involved peeing in a cup,and it wasn't for distance or accuracy.

Of course, when you are worn out from getting up at 4:30 AM to catch an early morning flight, and have traveled all day to get to your destination, eaten just an airplane sandwich consisting of a single slice of turkey on a dry roll and a bag of carrots, only to find that there is no reservation for the room you booked over three months ago, don't you HAVE to beat up on someone??Paul881 said:What I hate to see is a pompous ass****e beating up on some poor check-in clerk. Its a game anyone can play. Its nice to be important but its also important to be nice
