Yeah, normally there’s plenty of room but during the construction the right lane is right up against the wall so trucks don’t have enough clearance. The issue with trucks ignoring the signs has been ongoing for over a month now and I’m guessing that a number of drivers have been lucky or good enough to squeak through.

And this kind of shit is exactly why I stand out in the rain with my umbrella and don’t say a word if there are a bunch of assholes smoking weed in the bus shelter.

My system has over 40 branches and only a relative few actually need guards full time, most have no issues that require anything more than a staff member politely asking the person to keep their voice down or take their phone call outside. The county has it’s own security force for county buildings so they provide our

Large downtown library with lots of internet computers for public use. Being noisy/disruptive, drunk or high to the point of causing a disruption, repeatedly falling asleep, that sort of thing. Generally you have to be doing something to cause us to have to come over and talk to you and you have to not modify your

It’s even funnier when you own an older civic (2001) and have to choose either being able to accelerate to highway speed or having the air conditioner on.

We made a real effort to do it right. I mean I bitched at the box but I still dragged myself over and hit the button. However you’re right in that I can see where people would give it up as too much bother.

Don’t know, never bothered to find out. I wasn’t actively trying to build muscle, it was just a byproduct of farm work.

They had white guys with blond hair, and white guys with brown hair and white guys with black hair! They had white guys who were from NYC and white guys from LA! They had white guys who sported 3 days of stubble and white guys who only sported one day of stubble! They had white guys who were protestant and white guys

We were a Nielsen household for a couple of years. Every 25 minutes or so that black box starts blinking at you and you have to hit the OK button to confirm that you’re still there and watching. NBD at first, but sooner or later you’re sunk in your chair and the remote is out of reach and you’re just “Oh fuck you you

Based on the current hot new trend in corporate america of expecting all their employees to come pre-trained so they don’t have to have a training budget, they probably hired him because he had previous security guard experience. If said experience was occupying a security desk at an office building he could have gone

At his age I was slinging 40 pound hay bales and 50 pound feed sacks around like they were nothing, and I doubt I could have hung on like that.

He’s high on life.

They were vat mates at Blandly Attractive White Bro-dude Production Facility #836

Before she retired my mother ran a couple of group homes for developmentally disabled adults and ran into a number of conservative parents who would in casual conversation go off on rants about getting rid of medicaid, with all the faux news talking points. She always shut them up by gently explaining that she was

I see religion (particularly the abrahamic religions) as a kind of rorschach test. Because you can find justification for just about anything in old religious texts if you squint hard enough, so the people who would have been good regardless are good members of a religion, and the ones who would have been self serving

When I helped my mom buy her last minivan we went to a dealership where we found out that the salespeople didn’t work on commision. We asked the guy we were talking to how he liked it, he said he had quit another dealership job so he could work there, and that he wasn’t the only one. As a customer it was a very nice

I’m not saying the ban on christians needs to be permanent, just until we figure out which ones are willing and able to set aside their violence laden religion and embrace our values...

There was a good commentary on a local news site about the fact that an attempt to get a town to hire summer lifeguards was met with angry “Watch your own damn kids” by the assholes who think of all taxes as theft.

An electric pickup truck would fit nicely into farm usage as I experienced it back in the day. Apart from trips to buy feed and other supplies our truck hardly ever left the property, so range would be of little concern.

Giving people leaving jail access to free birth control (and drug counseling, and health care) as part of a wider support program to get them housed, employed and generally assist them in getting back on their feet would be a reasonable program. This, not so much.
