Raider Nation Fisher

That was low down. I fill myself tearing up. Clayton would kill for the stuff I just got. As a matter a fact if he's a good boy, and stays out of trouble, I just may send him some.

I want that taxi! That thing is straight up gnardog! Please tell me yall weren't the ones that made Mario out of toast. I'm sure yall get bored, but let's not be wasting bread.

I have been inspired. Now if I can convince, "She Who Must be Obeyed" that its a good idea for when we retire.

At the time he was born I was just starting to get into bass fishing. It wasn't until he was 6months old that I even knew who Johnny Morris was. Believe me though since I found out I've tried to use it to my advantage at BPS. Hasn't worked yet as of my last attempt. G has a blast with it though. He thinks its cool that his name is on a fishing reel and rod.

After several weeks of waiting my new supplements came in the mail Monday. I dare say this stuff is insane! To Heck with Jack3d and those other knock off caffeine filled supplements. I am completely sprung. I feel like the freaking Hulk! I didn't know I could workout as hard as I did today. I'm use to intense workout sessions but today took the cake. I was doing dumbell curls with 95lb dumbells. Heck I was doing dumbell presses with 115lb dumbells, I usually use 90s. Tomorrow I'm gonna pay for this, but I dont care. Im holding steady at a body weight of 275 right now and am still losing fat. I'm apparently gaining muscle at the same time though. If I can keep this current trend going, by the end of the year I should be at 265-275 at hopefully 5-10% body fat. Heh my wife thinks Im narcissistic now. She's never seen how bad I get when I lose the gut.

That is beyond hysterical! We named our son John Morris. Well my wife and everyone calls him JM. I decided to be creative and mock everyone else at the same time. So I took to calling him G, our last name is Galbraith, as an abbreviated version. Well after 4 yrs it has stuck with him. I still call him that, and he will occasionally introduce himself as G. My wife liked to kill me the first time he did it. She said he sounds like a little white gangsta.

If we have another boy Im pushing to name him after my great great grandad on my fathers side. His first name was Servantus. I think it has a nice ring to it. Sounds very distinguished if I do say so my self.

I never said it was modern traditional. More of a BC traditional. Heck you could go even furthur back and go with Gronk, Grok, or Grunk.

If that's your bag then go for it. Me I prefer something more traditional like Malachi or Ramses. But hey to each his own.

Holy dang. That game was awesome. Chelsea is going to the finals! Torres made one of sickest goals that i have ever seen at the 90th minute. He has redeemed himself in my eyes. Chelsea Til I Die!

I vote for the "I Love BP" tshirts. That would be pure and unadulterated chaos and fury.

I just wish Torres, would get his game back. I haven't been that impressed this year. Now Mata and Drogba on the other hand.

Naw a Nancy boy is what the Man U fans are called.

Them Chelsea Boys are gonna clean the floor with liverpool on Saturday. Looks like Chelsea is gonna win the FA cup. And Barcelona is going down tomorrow too. Chelsea Forever Forever Chelsea!!! Chelsea Til I Die!!!!!

Fishing, hunting, knives and what not I get at the store. Be thankful you don't have to order your shoes online. Try finding a store that sells a size 15. Every time its the same song and dance. "we don't carry anything above a size 13"

I watch that show every day. My son absolutely loves it. I dare say I have grown very fond of it myself. Hope you have a speedy recovery

Update. After talking with my boss today, apparently I didn't get away with anything. I was informed what I did was perfectly fine. He also said that until work picks up they prefer we slow down and take our time. He said that as long as we don't exceed our cash allotment on the job they are fine with it. Kinda wish he had told me this before.

More hours and a raise would be wonderful. However none of those are really gonna make it all right again with them. Im kind of in a limbo state if you will. The job I was at got sold after the owners youngest son kept getting the company ran off of jobsites. It was a real bad deal, but you know life goes on. Plus the boss gave me the heads up it was coming, and kept me til the bitter end. This company hired me on about an hour before I recieved my lay off notice. I figured hey its a cut in pay, but at least its work. Now work is running slow due to what I can only call lack of effort to branch out some. The two people whose opinions matter the most here are dead set that branching out to bidded work will require thousands in equipment to do. Neither will really listen when we try and explain it to them either. Again though its their company not mine. I don't make the decisions on what we do. Really and in truly though I'm probably not going to be satisfied until I'm back either doing construction or industrial. Commercial service work is definitely not for me. Especially the type that we are doing. Least I've learned more about other aspects of the trade. The knowledge gained is probably the biggest benefit to all this. Plus like I was told when I hired on it is the easiest job I have ever had. Also let me clarify. Our customers are billed the same regardless of how long a job takes. 2hour minimum plus travel. After the 2hours it jumps to 4 hours plus travel, and so on. Material is a separate charge. I'm just talking about hours. The travel time is where the kicker comes in. minimum travel is 1hour. Even if it only takes 15 minutes to get to the job. So as an example: I Bill out 8hours for the day yet only get paid for 5 of those hours. I know that's where profit comes in.

Jacked is probably not the best thing to be taking. Swap to a stimulant free Nitric Oxide supplement. It will calm you down, and give you the same post work out rush. Plus your results will be much better. The NO opensdialates your blood vessels, and allows your muscles to consume more oxygen and nutrients. The bonus being there is no crash from taking it.

That's the plan right now. My welder friend and I are busting our butts trying to get our own thing started. It all comes down to me passing my master exam this September. We have another master electrician as well as a 20 year journey man electrician commited to the electrical side. We have an amazing estimator that has agreed to work with us. We also have three other welders and a fitter commited to the welding side. Basically I'll run the electrical, he'll run the fitters, and we'll both be over the welders. Or something along those lines. The running of said company is still a work in progress. Finding work isn't that big of an issue either. Currently the two of us, plus those that want to work with us have more experience in the field we are going for than anyone else in the state. The jobs are there its juating getting to the point where we can go for them. We also already own the equipment to do the jobs. Again its just getting to the level where we can go after them. Even after getting my license its still going to take at least a year to get to the point where we can even start chasing these jobs.

You make an extremely valid point on that. In 98% of cases you are entirely right also. Myself and two others are the two highest producers of income for this company. Consistently week in and week out our billable labor, material sold, and efficientcy are above average. Especially myself and one other electrician. It's almost as if I have been going too fast. Used to be we would get slammed with 4 to 5 jobs a day, and it would take 8+ hours to do them all. Now for the same 4 to 5 jobs I'm getting them knocked out in 6-7 hours. That's assuming we actually get that many jobs in one day. I have a pretty good idea of why the work is slow coming in as well, and why things have declined the way they have. I have never seen or worked for a company that runs and operates the way this one does. The more I think about it. the more I feel the need to get away from this place. It just seems to me that in my experience a electrical company should be run by someone with a decent knowledge of electricity and electrical work in general. The purpose of becoming a master electrician is to run a electric company. However as with this case apparently you can keep one on retainer, and accomplish the same thing I guess.

It's a brotherhood thing. Also Harleys and crotch rockets don't mix. Hence why the Harley riders choose to ignore them. It's very annoying watching them zip around and through any and every thing. As for the scooters, I really have no idea. They travel in packs 10 deep around here. It's like a geriatric mc gang. I wonder if the scooter riders have nicknames? You know like "blue hair the horrible", "Johnny No Teeth", and what not.

I call you alot of things, but the Commish has never been one of them.

After the last 3 months of not having a forty hour week, and from what I've seen and heard from the carpet walkers in the office. I've come to the conclusion Im working for Mickey Mouse and his whole dang family. Well I got that filthy rat today. I managed to drag 5 hours worth of work out to 7hours. They wanna slow down on giving everyone except their pet electrician and his helper hours. I figure I'm just gonna slow down on my output. There is a lot more to the politics of what is going on and what is happening with all this then I feel like gettin.g into right now. Hopefully one of the other companies I've applied with will call this week. 20 to 25 hours a week just won't pay the bills. If worse comes to worse, i can always go back to travelling. I would prefer not to, cause I quite enjoy seeing my son every night. Yet if that's what it comes to then so be it, I can't tell him, "No you can't eat tonight, because Mickey Mouse won't give daddy any hours." I'd rather him have all the stuff his little heart desires. If that means I rarely get to see him until the economy picks up, then so be it. Why the hell does life have to be so dang tough sometimes?

Nope. Wish I had the time and money too though. It sounds like it could be fun.
