gently caress jobs that punish you for getting sick (unless you call in an excessive amount), like that's something you really have control over.

And yeah if you are sick don't go to work, nobody wants to be around a plague-carrier.

Every time I've called in my boss was just like "ok man, hope you feel better, later"

Last year about this time, I drove past a house with a really ugly guy spray painting halloween decor in his front yard.

Drove past a few days later... lots of decor up. Guy was building more.

A few days after that.. see a sign with a URL. Turns out this guy spends (possibly tens of) thousands every halloween to scare the poo poo out of his neighborhood, right down to chasing people (briefly anyway) with a chainsaw. :stare:

I wish he was my neighbor :saddowns:

That's awesome, do you remember what th URL was, by any chance?

Way back when I lived outside Atlanta in the '90s, there was a very wealthy neighborhood that had a cluster of about 6-8 homes that would go balls out every halloween, made the whole street look like a horror movie, with creepy sound effects and music playing throughout. One house had a gigantic fake spider that was easily 8ft in diameter attached to the second floor.

Nobody ever does that kind of elaborate stuff around here, it sucks :( I managed to get mentioned on the local rock station one halloween because I spray painted a kiddie-pool fluorescent orange with a jack-o-lantern face in black, and hung it on the side of my house with a blacklight underneath. Fuckin' small towns...

I'm down to one grandparent, my dad's parents died in the 70s (lung cancer and heart attack) and my maternal grandmother passed away this year, on my birthday, of throat cancer. She refused treatment when diagnosed, preferring to live out her remaining days as able-bodied as possible. Dementia had started to set in about when she was diagnosed with the cancer, so it was really a blessing to not have to watch her go through that for long.

My grandfather will probably be around forever, he's pickled himself with liquor and his family lives forever. His father (great-grandfather) passed away last week a few days after turning 99 and he was lucid and mobile 'til the day he died. His brother is 104 and still kicking.

Incidentally, my grandfather was the Director of Texas State Parks from the early '70s until sometime in the '80s, so you can partially thank him for all the lovely parks there.

Ugh, job poo poo is starting to get to me again. I'm still waiting to get rolling on the job they hired me for nearly 2 years ago, because they've been dicking around with a new work order system and a ton of other BS in that time, preventing me from getting started on necessary maintenance. So I've been farmed off to other departments or just left to my own devices, wandering around and fixing any random problems I come across. Now I'm starting to hear mutterings from other office people about how I'm not "showing enough enthusiasm for the job and need to be more proactive" in doing stuff. :psyduck: Like I didn't single-handedly keep Campus Support going when the main guy there bailed due to health reasons and the other transferred to a better paying position. I then trained two new employees for that department, and took it from one of the poorest performing departments to the one that gets poo poo done. I've also been the one that has gathered an absolute shitload of useful data about the campus that will make future jobs a lot easier because all the information will be right there.

And somehow I'm the lazy one. gently caress this place so much.

If I even think they are going to try to throw me under the bus I'm taking my collection of pictures of all the crumbling infrastructure/lovely repairs to people that may find it...interesting.

Man, Aramark's WebTMA asset management program sucks, it is the slowest responding piece of poo poo. Click the edit button, wait 5 seconds for it to even notice, and another 10-20 seconds for it to update the page so you can edit. Then saving your edit takes another 30 seconds, as does switching to the next asset task.

So what should be a 20 second process at most takes the better part of 2 minutes. gently caress you, Aramark.
