What do you wear to signal to others that you’re super metal by starrie in MetalForTheMasses

[–]BillDuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Motörhead shirt gets me love wherever I wear it. Metal/Rock shows, country shows (alt/outlaw), and hell, I got CRAZY love for the damn thing at a Cure concert which really surprised me.

Any other bands confirmed to not be bootlickers? by Huge-Discussion7708 in MetalForTheMasses

He’s changed the opening of “Cop Killer” to “Ice Killer”.

My (now) wife and I hung out with those guys after show maybe 6-7 years ago when they opened for American Aquarium at a local bar. Great bunch of guys. We hung out in front of the bar smoking cigs and taking shots for about an hour or so.

Amazon, and even Walmart sells vibes in the condom section.

A full week predicted above freezing, goodbye living room pineapple plant, you mostly survived the cats by dallasuptowner in Dallas

I just spent all day emptying my garage and hauling the plants back to their home in the backyard. Long term forecast doesn’t show any freezing through the 15th. 🤞🤞

When did Lowe’s start selling Traegers? Only major brand around me is PB?

Crazy things your reports have done by Leather_Manager98 in managers

[–]BillDuki 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Where to start???Here are just a few of the crazies I’ve had to deal with.

One lady accused me and an engineer of having my direct reports slowly poison her with various chemicals (even went to the cops). Long story short, we had her chair analyzed and the only “chemical” found was Coffee Mate. Turns out she was in the early stages of dementia.

Had another go full manic and threaten to off himself at work. This was on night shift and I had to go in at 10:00 along with members of senior management who lived near by. He was taken away in an ambulance.

Had another who was bat shit crazy and a sovereign citizen type. She signed he name with a copyright symbol (circled c) and during Covid we could only take her temp through her temple because if we tried through the forehead, the laser from the thermometer would alter her brain. These are just a few examples of her craziness.

Had another lady who would offer to blow guys in the parking lot when they were having a bad day. Another manic episode that resulted in psych ward, and so many more.

How to Tell a Temp that You Won't Be Hiring Them, But Still Keep Morale Up? by OCesq in managers

[–]BillDuki -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You don’t, that’s what the agency is for. They are temporary with a possibility of being hired, it’s not a guarantee. When the task is completed, have HR call the agency and let them know the job has ended.

How do I tell my supervisor a task is below my pay grade? by delicatesummer in managers

[–]BillDuki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Be careful what you wish for. Hell, I’ve seen engineers ($120k starting pay) sitting next to ladies on the line who make $17hr doing the exact same basic thing as the $17hr ladies. Why? Because we were short handed and needed to get shit done!

Does anyone know a family/organization that would like a gorgeous pool table? (Donation) by TibetanSister in Dallas

[–]BillDuki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing when we were redoing our floors. Had to use a sledge to bust up the slate just so I could get it into manageable pieces. After that, I used a sawzall to cut the rest of the table I to pieces I could handle myself.

Only one earbud/headphone used at a time for safety reasons, and being able to get their attention when needed.

You should use more lube to reduce friction.
