No, not too redneck.   But just not practical in my situation.   The only place I would put it would be next to the garage.    But the garage has some serious carpenter ant issues and really should be rebuilt.    If I am going to have to replace the garage I might as well built a two car sized one.    But then I think...why invest that kind of $$ in this house?  Just buy a new house with a 2 car garage already?

Oh wait......  that costs even more money.   LOL   

Sigh... time to buy a lottery ticket.

Meanwhile,  I just got an email from a buddy who wants me to join him on a Cruise.  11 days, fly to London,  take the train to SouthHampton and then back on the new Queen Mary 2 into NewYork City.       A dream cruise for sure!    But alas, I don't have 11 days of time off.   

 

you cant take off the time even unpaid?

It is more complicated than that.

We have a new system now.    We have to bid on our vacation time by seniority.   

AND!    you can only bid for time already earned.    We earn 8 hours of vacation time a month.    So if you want a week off six months from now, you must already have 40 hours of vacation time earned in your account.    Even though in those 6 months you will have earned another 6 days off.

So if you use your time off up, then you can't even request for another week for at least 5 more months when you have earned 5 more days.     Then you have to wait for a bid and hope that nobody with seniority over you wants that same time off.

This makes for planning a trip in advance VERY difficult.    Especially considering that you need to book airfare in advance to get a good price.

Stupid Governrment Beaurocratic idiotic red tape!

so they give you benefits...then set it up so you can't USE them..

Nice!

[David]

Very True.   

And don't even get me started on Sick time!   

We have some people with literally hundreds of hours of sick time accrued.    Then again, we have many with none.  The earn and burn it.

The one nice thing they let us do is donate sick time to another employee if they need to be out for a long time recovering from an operation or something like that.

Ok,  this may seem out of the blue but I just read this on another site and almost peed myself laughing......

<<Oh, quick story . When I was a kid my family was driving behind a garbage truck when a dildo flew out and thumped against the windshield. Embarrassed, trying to spare my youthful innocence, my mother turns around and says, "Don't worry, honey. That was an insect." I replied, "I'm surprised it could get off the ground with a &*$@ that big." >>

I was reading about a bull that laid down in a snow storm and his *ahem* got stuck to the ground...they had to go out with warm towels and water to get him up...

that is not something you read about everday....

Once when we were at the Chicago Zoo, several of the male monkeys ran up to the window and began masterbating in front of me and my mom. She quickly grabbed me by the arm and ushered me away from the window. When I asked her about it a few minutes later, she told me they were probably scratching for fleas. Alrighty then! 

I may have only been 10, but I wasn't stupid!
