He had a great story to illustrate the "right to refuse unsafe work". He was on the JHSC for the plant and got called in because one of their guys on the night shift refused to go from the main plant to a separate storage building on the site to get some cleaning supplies or something. The guy claimed that if he went outside the metal-roofed main building, then the aliens would be able to get to him. They were allowed to ask another employee to perform the task, as long as they made them aware of the "danger", but they still had to call in the Ministry of Labour to investigate. They take this stuff seriously.

Its a mad world.

That would have been Leo that did your training and the story is true except it wasn't him that dealt with it, it was me. He was over at the big plant by the airport then and I had the two small plants on Trafalgar. He left (not entirely on his own) to go do the training gig just before Cargil bought the big plant and I was moved over there just in time to avoid being stuck in the small ones.
The alien fearing dude was nothing but trouble but we could not fire him because of Human Rights. I could probably fill a page on stories about him from the alien refusal to the Viet Cong booby traps in the showers (and no he had never fought in a war).

I mean, you can see this two ways. One, if you want a turbo from her, you've got to spend quite a bit on a ring.

orrrr, in a silver lining, she said they have to be the same price. She didn't say that the ring had to cost as much as the turbo, but that they must be equivalent.

Thus, you are presented with a unique opportunity to make her buy you a badass turbo just by buying her a real nice ring.

Either way, if I want her to buy me a turbo, it's gonna cost me a ring that's equivalent price... is that mean, if I buy myself a turbo, she gonna by herself a ring? lol

Because we can't tell Thing 2 apart from Thing 1.

I guess I just thought of it as a two-birds with one stone type deal. I'm assuming with this talk that she's expecting a ring, so thats a sunk cost. Add a lil more and you got a spiffy booster biscuit.

On a side note, there was some tornado esque weather in Mississippi, so all the roads are wet. On a "private" road, I did a big ole skid.
