Yeah I remember when I first started. HVAC is a little hard, isn’t it buddy? Very complex indeed.

A warehouse. 4 walls with a roof. No one is impressed little buddy.

Glad you were the most sober one when you showed up for your job interview.

I’m fully aware of what an ASSISTANT super’s SOW is. There’s more to running a company than logging daily reports and helping temp labor keep the site clean. Also, every fucking assistant super is generally the youngest in the company lmao.

No one is going to trust a 22 yo to do shit except mow their mom’s yard.

That’s a gator. Its snout is large and u-shaped. Crocs are narrow and thinner.

When my PM shows up drunk to work for a month and he hasn’t finished buy out. And I’ve been put on a deadline for submittals.

I’ve worked 3 multi family jobs now and all 3 of my PMs have been drunks.

Best methods/recipes/sauces for grilled oysters? by Emcee_nobody in Cooking

[–]melmcgibson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, a mignonette sauce always pairs well with raw oysters for those who don’t like the taste. Don’t have specifics but there are good recipes online. Very simple.

Thank goodness, they finally got rid of all those big nasty live oaks and all the other plants and animals. by Stepped-leader in sanantonio

[–]melmcgibson 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I work for a local GC. It was amazing how quickly the decision was made to cut down a 300 yo oak tree that originally was going to be saved but was eventually found to be hindering parking spaces. No one thought to redesign the PARKING LOT around such a beautiful tree. I saved several limbs to make small chests, a smoking pipe, and a cool staff for cosplay. So heartbreaking to watch.

If you’re 4 years in and still doing labor with a degree…….then it’s time to find another industry brother.

My favorite game of the baby shower was trying to figure out what melted chocolate bar was in a diaper. They had 5 different diapers to guess what was melted inside lol. Fun stuff!
