I would like to say thanks again guys for the information given regarding that IT job pages earlier. Talked to the guy again clarifying what the job is. If you haven't guessed by now its for building management systems. The company I might work with is partnered/works with Johnson Controls. A contract is a couple weeks away unless something fucks up that I don't know about. It is expected to start part time and expected pay to start is 2x minimum here or $15USD after conversion and up from there after a couple months. Naturally nothing is settled until I sign and I can walk away if I am personally or the lawyer is unhappy. I likely low balled the number a little but when(if) I see the contract I will be asking for modifications as required. Again, thanks for the help. Also there are forklifts involved as warehouses are possible work locations so yeah, forklifts with some being driven by people on meth or whatever. Good times ahead maybe.

This is straight up safe compared to those maniac drivers who drive the tour buses up the mountain on the island of Capri, going to Anacapri in Italy. I remember looking out the window and there was nothing next to me but about a sheer 100 foot drop. One lane. Those drivers are loving insane, but they've got some balls.

I have to wonder. And I hope it's not racist of me to think it, but why not use paved flat roads? [edit] And wide enough for 2 buses to pass each other

Ah, good eye. Landslide damage. Still, there's plenty of those "most dangerous roads" that are only wide enough for a single vehicle with a vertical drop of a mile with no guard rails and oh no another bus is coming the other way... Seems unnecessary risky to me.

Holy poo poo reading this whole thread over the last few weeks has made me realize that my last job was way more unsafe than I ever knew. I mean I knew it was unsafe but not how unsafe. I worked at a casino and in my position as a security supervisor I had a standard set of security poo poo to do, but at some point the tribe I worked for cut down on maintenance leaving us with approximately 0 maintenance employees. We (security supervisors) were to make sure the building was halfway maintenanced. So for your horror/amusement I will recall some terrible OSHA violations. - I remember after a new wing was built onto the casino the electrical room flooded and we were told to staunch the flow of water where we could find it and carry on business as usual. - The tribe quit using licensed surveillance camera techs and instead bought a scissor lift and a box of tools for the assistant surveillance director. He was a wry little swedish man who would rzoom around the casino working on cameras during operating hours, right above customer's heads. I then had to petition my bosses to allow me to close off sections of the gaming floor where he was working. That cut down on players playing though, so he was allowed to continue. We called him Swede Racer. - during the construction of the aforementioned new wing, the casino was open and we had ongoing construction going on around customers. Like scaffoldings and poo poo. The only safety measure taken would be occasionally building a barricade with chairs between customers and work spaces. - while sitting in the break room a construction worker stepped through the ceiling on accident. - we had a running joke about the amount of incident reports generated by the kitchen staff because at least once a week some new employee would start a fire. Best I ever saw was a guy throw a big ol' tub of water right on a greasefire. We emptied 2 extinguishers putting that out. - Security supervisors did maintenance on the giant heating/cooling units. At one point a guy almost hosed himself up trying to replace a belt while the unit was still trying to kick on. Eventually we were told to call an external company because someone got electrocuted mildly flipping one back on. - I was checking perimeter and saw that the small maintenance shack had a battery charger and 2 space heaters plugged into a standard extension cord. The outlet was mostly melted. I unplugged it and then got an rear end-chewing because the space heaters were there to keep all the excess paint stored in there from freezing. - One night Swede Racer was on the scissor lift working on parking lot cameras in the snow. No he did not ever toe himself on or secure himself in any way. - some construction workers were painting the entryway of the casino and the scissor lift was about 8 feet too short to reach it. They removed their belts and secured a pallet to the railing of the lift to get that extra bit to finish their painting. There's a lot more but this post is massive already.

I don't know if it's a regionalism or not, but it's a fairly common phrase. I know I've said it and others around me have as well. It's perfectly understandable and not going anywhere despite the "wrongness". Fighting language that changes over time never works. Go be French if you want that.

POOL IS CLOSED posted:I've heard that usage pretty commonly from Tennessee all the way to Rhode Island. "By accident" too. There's nothing odd about "by accident," though. I mean, it's entirely possible it's in use nationwide and I've either led a charmed life or I'm forgetting the occasions on which someone used "on accident." I'm not throwing down a toxx or anything.
