No doubt. I can't say that I've never drank a bud light, but I can with 100% confidence say that I've never bought bud light, or Budweiser for that matter. 

 

It's not a quality issue either. If that trash were cheap enough... maybe. I was the king of the Natty Light personal party case for $9.

Heard about the Bud Light controversy in the news.  Mildly entertained by the part where guys with a macho persona are getting mad about a trans person in the ad.  When I was a yout if a guy was drinking Bud Light people would be like what are you, a lightweight?  Are you a pussy?

 

70% of these dudes beat off to trans porn anyway and are just scared of it. be proud. be like dow.

damn. just had to order a replacement engine cradle for my car. it's in ok shape other than being a rust clunker underneath. didn't cost as much as i thought it would at least.

 

just hit 38k miles in it the other day and it's a 2005, so i'm willing to invest in a little restoration.

 

What are you driving?  Or should I ask what are you not driving considering it's a 2005 with 38k on it?

How long have you had this vehicle?

My aunt did that with a new 07 Accord. Garaged it and drove a 97 F150 beater daily. Now the Accord has low mileage but also has a bunch of wildly outdated tech in it. Doubt it’s worth much and she never really even got to enjoy it when it was a bad ass whip.

@ndv  @LUGR it's an 05 accent hatchback. i've only had it a couple years. an aunt handed it down to me when she upgraded...the trade-in value alone was probably not even worth it tbh.

 

pretty solid, although rust has been an issue. might get it cleaned up and keep it going since it was a hand-me-down. the photo not mine, but if i can get a nice flick after i get the rest of the work done this spring or something, you guys wanna check it out lol?

 used to have a girlfriend drive one of those.

 was a pretty solid car.

 

for all the grief Hyundai's used to get  they make a good car at times.

have one of these parked out front and while we dont drive it daily it's fucking fun to drive.

 

goes like a bat out of hell when it wants to.

 

 that could actually bne my car if we dinged up the rear panels.

 

was laughing hard one day because I was working down the side of the house.

I saw my wife pull up and really carefully start rubbing the side of the car  because she'd scraped it in the parking lot.

She was not pleased when I started laughing and she knew she'd been busted.

Not sure if it may be an investment but more so added protection, but have you looked into cost and options for cleaning off tue rust and spraying it with some kinda rust protector followed by a ceramic paint?  

 

Here we don't get snow so the rust thing isn't an issue here except when you live on the coast then it may be something I would do.

 

Just a thought.

Anybody deal with some one that isn't cut out for the position they are in and it constantly fucks your whole day up?

 

I have but at the time it was out chief operating officer.  Since it was a boss, it left me no choice but to leave.  If it's an employee, gotta cut em loose.

I have a peer like that - well technically a peer but

dudes performance is dog shit. He has gotten better after a few huge fuck ups and some coaching from folks.

 

Sometimes you just have to accept some

people are morons or shouldn’t have been hired in the first place. 

 

But like @ndv says - if its an employee gotta let them go. I just got rid of a guy last week - kept doing the same shit despite me talking to him twice and me getting his supervisor involved about 6 months back. 

 

So about 3 weeks ago when I caught wind he was doing the same shit I had advised him not to - I gave him his walking papers.

Oh shit. I totally forgot what it was like to maybe be stuck with a fucking up ass mother fucker all day. I deal with this dude Karl. He runs the maintenance at all of these headstart programs for little kids. There are a ton of these things around here. Well anywho he's been on me to come price out a new job at a new facility they bought. I told him I was free Friday and an early morning appointment was best. So this dude is like I can do 10. "10? Okay bro! I'll be there early morning at 10."

 

So my man Karl hits me up Friday morning at 830 to confirm that I'm going to be there. "Yessir. 💯 🔥 👍." I pulls up to this new school building in the middle of nowhere a few minutes early like I like to do and I feels my phone start to buzzing. I pull it out and I have a text from Karl. "Turn around. It's spring break and I can't get into the building."

 

Nurga is you for real right now? You manage all of these properties. They're all on spring break right now. You know this cuz you've scheduled me for more work specifically during their spring break on another property! Now Im so far out in the country fuckin around with you that I have over an hour drive to my paying job that I need to finish up today. Kill this dude man.

Literally every single fucking manager I have to deal with right now.. I work the service industry so it's just food and booze.. pretty straight forward you'd think.. but NOPE... It's like every day they come in and ask themselves "hmmmm... What can we do to make things any worse than they already are.." 🤦🏽‍♂️

Also side question.. does anybody like keep a journal on them for productivity or anything..?

 

I've had some journal things pop up recently on Instagram for some reason and have been kind of in a rut with everything I got going on and can't seem to focus or stay on track with certain creative goals and things alike.. apparently journaling is good cause I guess writing things down you kind of internalize them more and it's a better way of keeping things organized and essentially holding yourself accountable too.. least that's what I've gathered being a nerd and looking all this shit up.. has it helped any of y'all out..?
