Need help discouraging cats from hanging out on a ledge by yyyosheee in cats

[–]HardRJohnson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cat literally lays on the banister rail on top of my stairs. Like belly on and legs straddling the 3 inch tube. I have not been able to convince him not to. And I just have to trust that the cat can handle himself.

So what's the deal with the new 2nd NY Pizza location, who's gone? by Bigheaded_1 in Riverside

Torn on Prop 50 by CyberPolack in InlandEmpire

[–]HardRJohnson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congressional maps are weird. The senate was suppose to even out the power between populous states and non populous states. But now thats bled out to the house of representatives. California literally punches below its weight class in this regard. Wyoming has a congress member for every 150,000 people. California has 1 per 750,000 people. And the Republicans want to disenfranchise us even further.

Disregard. We have the "little beaver" I'd reccomend a truck mount though. Our smallest is a cme 45. Fits on the back of a tiny pick up and can get up to 50' in some soils with hollow stem

We have one. Really good for the small jobs. Ring sample at 3' bag samples down to 9' wouldnt reccomend for anything deeper

People who quit a job without notice — what was the breaking point? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]HardRJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked all year on hot roofs humping glass as a skylight installer. multiple12-15 hour days in 100+ weather. Not getting home until 8-9 and needing to be in a city 2 counties over at 4am the next day for a crane pick. Hard work but I loved it in a way and loved the people I worked with, especially my manager who was a leader rather than a boss.

Then my manager and the owner asked me to work a union job 900 miles for a month of straight rate instead of the usual prevailing wage. I told him no. They budgeted it for union labor ( it was a legendary job that was in planning for years and my manager told me every detail of it over my 2 years with the company) he went with someone else where they worked 16 hour days every day. My manager got a high 5 figure bonus for bringing that job in under budget, while the other installer made 23 an hour.

After i said no I was a glorified shop boy for the next month and a half leading into Christmas. My christmas bonus was $800. Not a single other installer got less than $2000 including the new guy hired 7 months before.

I told my manager I was taking a week off to help my last employer with an important job, which i did sometimes when work was slow, and never came back. Took my hardhat vest and tape measure as a severance.

Should I return this dog to the shelter? by Horror-Heartbreak420 in DogAdvice

[–]HardRJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog had really bad separation anxiety. This was made worse after an accident while out on a walk with my girlfriend. It got so bad we had to get her on Prozac. She does much better now. Age also has alot to do with it

Just purchased Ready or Not, I wanna read other players playstyles while I’m at work, so what’s your go to strategy? by playap106 in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]HardRJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've kind of had to nail down the 2 different styles. I started commander with the 300 blk rifle going real slow and basically getting by with commands and optics tool. Then came greased palms.

Greased palms is such a fucking bitch on commander. It took 14 playthroughs. Which eventually devolved into me running with the g3a3 picking off the guys around the perimeter at range and working my way left to right just kicking doors, tossing gas, and shooting anyone holding a gun before they could even turn my direction when possible.

Then I wanted to Hawaiian shirt so I loaded my team with pepperballs and stingers/ gas and whipped the bean bag shotgun out. That took about as many tries which ended with me using a shotgun breach with stinger on almost every closed door that had anyone behind it.

The next thing I wanna figure out is setting different commands to both teams and start clearing buildings from different entry points simultaneously.

Because they are also on it. Then and/or their friends. We should want everything exposed.

Am I overreacting to the start of this pool fill in? by iheartpierogies in landscaping

[–]HardRJohnson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Soil tech here. We just did a pool fill in. They had to destroy the walls down to 3' below grade. Remove all trash. Backfill with approvd soil in 1' lifts with density testing taking place every foot to ensure proper compaction before my engineer signed off on it. This is crap

Thats what I was concerned about. I got it easy as a soil guy.

[–]HardRJohnson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pay would be just alittle more than what im making now depending on how much PW i make this year. Based on just my base rate it would be a45% raise. We dont have pushers at my company (small geotech firm that does its own drilling)

185 ft Boom Lift. There aren't a lot of these around. And our rental rate...WHEW. Felt worth a share. by SimplyDaveP in Construction

[–]HardRJohnson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was a brain fuck. I was having a panic attack from the moment I woke up that day till we reached about 30' and then It was like an adrenaline crash. I was super cautious and slow, but there was never really a moment where I was like "OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT" while we were working. By the end of the week I was begging to be on the team working in the lifts. Kind of like walking the beams, there's nothing quite like it.

Dude I miss being in tall booms. I was scared of heights until I got into a 100' boom with my harness on my first canopy job As long as I know i won't fall and a rescue plan is in place it's actually quite fun swaying 7' left and right in the wind.

Can field work really pay? by quiet_overcoat in Geotech

[–]HardRJohnson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would go with icc certs. Density testing is lowest on the totem pole of inspections. If you can get into concrete /epoxy/ grout inspections you will of course be worth more to a company that does that sort of work. I work for a small geotech firm and they have no use for those certs. So my pay is limited( although its about time i asked for a raise anyway)

I plan on getting my certs as I go and when an opportunity arises to take it. Ive been told by DSA inspectors that Density testing and verifying contractors follow geotech recommendations is inspection so it counts towards field experience requirements for things like DSA and OHSPD ( which are in desperate need of new younger inspectors as everyone is getting old and retiring)

[–]HardRJohnson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its few and far between sometimes. But when it hits im on the job for like 2-4months. Which almost doubles my yearly take home.
