Agree, seniority is not totally useless, but it is to the extent that it is taken advantage of at the expense of less tenured employees because of laziness.

Buckeye1, at my last job our lead man in plumbing was milking the bull for the last 2 years prior to actually retiring. I realize this isn't always the case, but for 2 years it put a major strain on us other 3 in that department. We were relying on help from other departments because our own lead man was MIA most of the time. Exceptions for an employee with many years in a company vs 2 years of his paid idle time did not = productivity.

Kelley, going thru my e-mails this morning, I amost lost my coffee because of you. ;D ;D

I realize this is a bit off topic but Hemi just reminded me of another thought. Why do entities, private, government or otherwise, consistantly hire consulting firms for $GGGs when a lot of the time the leg work can be done internally by t he end users. Sorry guys, back on topic.......

Hey Intruder, is that Grant county area?

That would almost be funny if half of the people in this country actually knew their geography. Everyone knows it's just west of Washington state.

Too Funny!

Agreed, generally work ethic is in the toilet. I won't label a particular generation because I see people of all ages workin' and I have high school kids coming in for me and doing their jobs much better than older full time employees. I think the blame for poor work ethic can be accepted by society in general, whether it's parenting, industry, government, or our educational institution. Stasher1, if you can let a job go in lieu of schooling more power to you; I mean that sincerely. Where I live this is largely impossible with our current economy. Every one I know, including myself who is fortunate to have work is doing their level best and keeping their nose to the grindstone trying to keep a job. Right now even that isn't enough to guarantee a job is there for you.

I was wondering if someone would step up and coordinate this for Koop. When you going to have our web page ready for sign up Mike? I'll take care of banquet night. Cheese stuffed brats, cheesy potatos, cheddar soup, your choice of beverage and cheese cake for dessert.

Man, if I had water like that to fish I would never leave. Good job guys. 8-)

I'm in 8-)

Boxers or briefs ? haven't heard that in a long time.

That second one in Hawk's post ain't right, there ain't no way I could drink that much!

;D ;D ;D ;D

I see LBH has his mug posted in the website pics 8-)

Gee Procrafter, you almost make it look too easy.

"Why should the buyer be expected to cover the seller's expenses? Should the buyer also be expected to reimburse the seller for the gas used to deliver the package to the post office or the ink used to print a shipping label? If they're that worried about their profit, they should figure that expense into their asking price." Personally, if the original purchase price is right, I'm not bothered by being asked to pay as a gift or to cover pp fees. I look more at who I am buying from as more of a concern. I agree though, if a seller wants to cover pp expenses, build them into the asking price.

I was thinking the same thing until it got to the background audio towards the end, that sounds way too real to me.

Towards the axis is off and away is on.

Wow, looks like you keep yourself surrounded by some pretty intense fishing! Welcome

Welcome to ya Glenn

Welcome to BR 8-)

That's a fact; if you can find the Never's landing area, launch and fish up river.

I don't know if I'm grossed out or impressed. I'm going for dinner now so everything will be settled before I get back to this thread. ;D
