Accounts Payable. she got here and with no exp thought she was going to "run things". on top of that she's one of those over the top nice sounding squeeky people that's really a two-faced bitch.

aka. I don't like her.

Only issue that the experience was in India and he had only been in Canada for two weeks. A great guy but I have to spend more time training him than I had to spend dealing with the Windsor sites in the first place.
There is such a shortage of EH&S people in this region that I get a call from a head hunter at least twice a day. I could literally walk next door and have a job in an hour. We have the same issue trying to get engineers and equipment operators right now.

Send me a bunch of one way bus tickets and I'll send you a bus load of homeless and jobless people ......

as in find another job. the brilliant powers that be decided not to bid any work when we were super busy last year. well that work is drying up and now we have nothing to do.

Sounds like you should be promoted to "manager of new business development" .....

Lol you told that one already. Gotcha!

Short answer is because asparagus contains mercaptan.

Don't know about your sugar puffs ...... unless you cut up onions and put them on your puffs ......

Yea, I'm competing with Atlanta for the personnel which doesn't help. There are a lot of big IT shops in Atlanta for corporate (Delta, Home Depot, Cox Communications, Coke are established, Google and Amazon has a growing presence, just to name a few) so it's hard to compete 30 miles west of there.

But, if you like country living rather than city it's pretty easy to get a job on the "fringes" that pay nearly as much as "them there city jobs" and you can own your own Gentleman Ranch without the commute.

Lol last time there was more detail. Something about how you justified being called managers.

I recently posted a 'tongue in check' message about snow in the UK.. I think it was a wee bit premature! The country has been hit by the mother of all snow storms, affectionately called 'Beast from the East'.

The BBC leading on the chaos caused by the snow. One snow footage showing the obligatory cars in hedges with a shot of a Honda S2000 in a hedge!! How rare are these cars and then find one stuck in a hedge because of the snow!

humfrz · 02-28-2018, 01:28 PM

OK, off to Walmart for grocery shopping ...... oh, I hope I don't get cornered in the produce section by those spandex wearing nasty women .....

I think I'll take mrs humfrz's tank, in case I have to back up .....

Half day school today ...... the good news is that I won't have to get up from my nap to go pick them up later in the afternoon ....... the bad news is that they have a hard time keeping quiet while I'm napping with the toddler ......

Ya'll behave .......
