What amazes me is that at 4am in the morning with cruise control on at a reasonable speed I only burn like 1/16th of a tank but during heavy traffic I could burn a 1/4 of a tank in the same commute and be lucky to hit 50mph. Sometimes 3am starts have their up sides.

Question, does your production department "really" come in at 6.00?

Questions, is southern Maryland cheaper? Will 15% offset any changes in social/economic shifts? Fuck the title, it doesn't mean jack... unless the org chart shows a clear shift in 'seniority'..

Yes, no real issues with attendance either.

All the remedial employees work in the warehouse

Yes, I am grumpy, sun burned, and hung over today.

I'm questioning how sane i really am. Traded my friday to go down to Missouri in a suburban with broken a/c, cracked door handles, a seized shift interlock, and steering slop worse than a oceanbound freighter, all to go see some relatives.. it is no longer a steering wheel, it's a suggestion wheel. My mom's car. She said it's fine for her...

I spent yesterday afternoon pulling the dash in the middle of the campground to disable the shift interlock so it'll go into gear.

Mainly from granddaughter sitting -

The three year old is potty trained , so, no more diapers (except mine).

I NEVER take time off from my afternoon nap -

Well, I'm just about taking the day off. I have the laundry about half done. mrs humfrz is off to the hair dresser (I must remember to tell her hair looks nice, when she returns).

I remember, back when she and I were dating, I picked her up from the hair dresser (after she got it cut pretty short) and she asked me how I liked it. I told her it looked a little "dyke-ish".

WRONG thing to say!

Ugh. Would be painful to hand it over in that condition. Oh well. Mom's the boss.

Even at that, organizational charts can be changed with the stroke of a pen. Solid lines can be made dotted lines and visa versa and boxes can be moved. None of that means anyone is gonna get paid any more -
