Ha all I can say is thank God for NCOs and SNCOs keeping me out of trouble - I have a speech I give at most military functions on what made my career successful. I give 90% of the credit to my first Platoon Guide (Corporal Jackson - this was in the late 70s so he was one of my more senior Marines - had a Staff Sgt for my Platoon Sgt but he wasn't the sharpest).

Anyway we were out at 29 Palms (live fire) and after several training events, Corporal Jackson came to me and said "Sir trust your Marines, they'll take care of you", boy did they ever. Words to live by - never failed me.

Yes, developing a good relationship with your officer is sometimes difficult. I had one Lt who thought he was Napoleon, and then lead us right into an ambush. This was shortly after I had offered an alternate course of action and he tried to shift the blame to me afterwords.

Maybe it’s time for a career change...

Oh, I've been trying to leave for awhile. I have had dozens of interviews, and phone interviews. Usually, I'm outschooled by the other interviewees. Also, a running theme around my region is companies know the available jobs are drastically outnumbered by people seeking employment, and use that to their advantage in pulling bait n switch job offerings. Four of my interviews in the past six months, have led to me finding out the locations that are advertised are not the locations you would actually be working in. Ford is famouse around these parts for such tactics. Another tactic used is stating that full-time options are available, but in actuality it takes years of working for them to be eligible for those options. Ups does that. Plus the number of full-time positions us EXTREMELY limited.
I'm just not willing to drive more than an hour each way, or deal with the same shady practices it worse, for the same money.

love my 2 Guzzis. Fortunately we have a great Moto Guzzi dealer in Austin.

Awesome! I wound up getting another Yamaha at a good price instead of going to them and trying to justify getting a more expensive Indian. They are my dream bike but just not in the price range I was looking at.

Another running theme is, "the hours we advertise are attainable, but it's all based on seniority. Then finding out that it will take 3+ years to gain enough seniority to make those hours.

 

[Sean L]

oh! you must have the sport model.
and be fore warned there is no warranty or refunds.

lol, over the course of 14 years, she's occupied my resources yes. I'm accepting that I won't be able to get a refund, lol!

 

[Sean L]

Thanks Todd. Really not much to share. She is doing well and I'm comforted in knowing that they are taking really good care of her. That really reduces the stress level for me. Thankfully she still knows who I am and even remembers my name when asked by staff.

Next month will be the one year anniversary of her admittance into the facility.

Many thanks to all you dorks for always being here for me when I needed ya. This is a pretty awesome dysFUNctional family.

Glad she's still doing well considering. We're always here to help as well!

Oh yeah, I've got an Aunt and Uncle that live in Ft. Lauderdale. They taught me about Iguanas falling from the sky long before the weather channel did.

 

[Robieman]

Happy Friday Eve everyone. I hope you all have a great day ahead.
