Show up, every work-day, on time, dressed as requested, without being hungover or stoned or complaining, and do the job they pay you to do. Do all of the above, still get cut because some HR algorithm has realized they should make your position redundant to hire a fresh college grad so that the salary difference can go into an exec's new benefits package.

So something like.. 3 1/2? years ago, when I was living on campus at UNT, I was walking home and saw a larger mini fridge by a dumpster. It was the same model my roommate at the time had. Opened it up, nothing nasty inside, just a little dirty, so I figured I'd take it home and clean it up and try to sell it. Figured either they moved out or something was broken on it - you wouldn't believe how much poo poo college kids throw out when they move. My current printer/scanner combo was found in a dumpster during dorm move-out week at the end of the 2012 spring semester, for example; I dragged several microwaves out of the dumpster the same day that worked, they were just filthy from a year or two of cooking ramen constantly... cleaned them up and sold them on Craigslist, made a nice profit. You just have to hit the dumpsters early, since every dumpster diver from several cities around will hit them as soon as they find out it's move-out week. Carried the drat thing about 3 blocks home, since my car really couldn't move more than a mile or two at the time; I didn't want someone else to grab it while I walked back to the dorm, got my car, and drove back. Got it to the dorm, plugged it in.. it would get cold, shut off, then wouldn't come back on until you turned the thermostat off and on. Finally bought a thermostat for the drat thing over 3 years later for $19. It's been plugged in for a few hours, with a digital thermometer in it that records high and low temps. It's staying between 33-38 with the thermostat at the mid point. Gonna leave it running for a few days to make sure it's solid; when spring semester dorm move-in week comes around, I'll toss it on Craigslist for $50-60 (it sells for about $80 new) and offer free delivery. And maybe fib about the location and say it's near campus. I feel like Jeremy Clarkson in that episode where he changed a tail light bulb and started screaming "I'VE MENDED SOMETHING!", and feel like trolling Craigslist for broken poo poo that's easy to fix and flip. Stuff like dryers, PCs, etc.

Helping one other person push a broken down F-250 out of an uphill intersection is not fun. My legs feel like wet noodles. Didn't help that nobody mentioned "oh btw the driver is going to put it in 1st and pop the clutch as soon as we get over the hill", my wrists hurt like hell from that. Barely got a thanks before the driver jumped in and hauled rear end out of there. corn in the fridge posted:Happy Christmas everybody Likewise. Anyone do anything special? I took my mom to what was supposed to be a candlelight service, and I was also supposed to take photos of the service.  welp so much for photos!  That'll teach me not to grab the first SD card I see on my desk when I'm in a rush. I have no idea where the card I normally use is, though Walgreens currently has a Sandisk Ultra Plus 16GB card for $7.99 if you have a Bonus Rewards card (normally $30... the card goes for $7 on Amazon and $12 at Fry's, but seeing as I was able to get a new card on the way home long after everyone else was closed, I'm not going to bitch about paying $7.99 for a card that's fast enough to store ten 16.2 megapixel RAW images shot back to back before the camera starts buffering).They didn't use real candles, so I have a neat little LED candle instead. For some reason they didn't feel like using anything with real fire after someone set the building on fire last week.

Is it just me, or has anyone else lived through the era of "Wow, the internet is useful, so much info at your fingertips" . To now "Holy poo poo now it's just junk and impossible to find anything easily"? Just asking because christmas sucks, I cancelled it. stuck at home wire brushing and de-rusting any interesting tool I have found here at the old and new places. Some German, Japanese, USA and British stuff worth restoring. But gently caress me if it's possible to google this poo poo these days. 9+ years ago you used to be able to. The internet was better back then when it was just dumb ads and porn. At least they stayed out of the way and didn't interfere with people looking up whatever other stuff they needed to do.

I dont think your wrong there- poo poo like clickbait and the absolute mental diarrhoea thats spewed out of every loving website now makes it impossible to find anything useless. My LG ducted AC decided that yesterday was the day its controller was going to randomly reset back to fresh out of the box mode. Trying to find ANY info on what kind of settings i needed to use to stop it from turning off every half hr until the power was cycled nearly had me throwing my laptop through the wall

Merry Christmas fellas!  I have to prepare myself for the first game of cards against humanity with my parents and inlaws tonight. My mom is German so I'm looking forward to all the stupid questions and "I don't understand ziss, vy vould you say zat?"  My MIL was pretty cool when we played this on Thanksgiving with my friends. It's a trip to hear some little old lady with a Louisiana accent saying 'some hosed up sheeit'

To now "Holy poo poo now it's just junk and impossible to find anything easily"?  I long ago made a decision to stop clicking any click bait link. People that run those sites are the scum of the earth. They use a video or photos of someone else's original content only to have an entire page so full of ads it bogs down the browser and is such a cluttered mess you can't even see what was the original reason for going to the page in the first place. In one way I feel bad that I use AdBlock because I know ads are a source of revenue for sites but when a site becomes unusable I don't feel bad at all. They brought it on themselves. I also dislike how Facebook groups are taking over the traditional online forum/bulletin board. Impossible to have any organization of information and stupidity runs rampant. I know SA isn't at its peak anymore but I can't think of another place with such a concentration of people so educated in such a vast array of fields. Also Merry Christmas goonfriends! Just waiting on my daughter and son to wake up and experience the magic. We even got a good eight inches of snowfall last night!

Is that a lincoln continental in the background there? Bitchin. E: Since my Mom complains so much about such a variety of things, my wife and I have devised a game for when we visit. We're writing down things we are thinking she'll say/do/bitch about and who had the idea. Whomever gets the most points gets a gift card from the other, for a dollar of the amount of correct guesses overall, regardless of whose idea it was. I've never been this excited to go down there with my wife/MIL. I feel like I've got this in the bag. We'll tabulate in the car on the drive home. Some things for example:

What kind of Xmas swag did you guys score this year? Santa was pretty good to me...got babbies first rolling tool cart (cheapie craftsman but still a huge upgrade). Various gift cards and things, an Arduino kit, some nice booze and a Shinola watch. I don't know much about nice watches, but this is probably the most well-built thing I have ever owned. Beautiful watch. Pretty cool that it is made here in Detroit too. edit: I also asked for some of these gifts, so I am apparently handout taking Marxist scum

I got a Nexus 5X, SOCKS (thank god), some hoodies, Lego Dimensions packs and the girlfriend made me a book of sexy photos she secretly had done. Christmas is awesome. The only bummer is the 5X takes the ultra tiny SIM and my N4 has a normal small SIM, can I safely cut it down myself or should I got to Tmo and get a new one tomorrow?
