Bicycle?

[Blltrdr]

Been thinking of looking for a little Ruckus or something small to ride to work.  You know, to really milk out the the gas savings. 

Find yourself an old SL Honda. One of the best looking bikes from the 70's.

Good on ya Scottie. Good luck at the new job. Happy days

My last 2 weeks start today.  Who'd of thought that after making the most money I ever had at a job, I'd be so happy to leave?  I feel like a prisoner that has just been told he's getting paroled in 2 weeks.  But, being that I'm not an actual prisoner and leaving on my own will, I can't stop thinking about what kind of jokes and pranks I need to pull off in the next 2 weeks.

Priorities call for making the new kid aware that he works as hard as.....  Well shit, he doesn't work at all!  I'll just make fun of his skinny jeans every hour.  Yes, your next generation of "mechanics" wear skinny jeans at work.  And when he's about to cry, I'll simply say "Don't want me to pick on you anymore?  Put on a work uniform!"

And I think a "going away thank you letter", a.k.a. glitter bomb, would make a fun mess on the last day.    Not that I usually stoop to childish levels, but I need to redeem my sanity that I've lost at this job.  Hahaha

Discretion is the better part of valor, my friend.  Sometimes these things follow you around.  Just sayin'...

You never know you might need something from them one day.

Scottie,

About the tenth time I changed employers I found that there are only two great places to work, they are the new place and the place you just left. With those words of confusion I do wish you well with your new job.

I made my last employment change at age 43 but, not before deciding what I really enjoyed working at. Never made a great deal of money, learned to live on what I earned and be satisfied.

I was mostly joking guys.  I'm leaving on good terms.  But once again, the new guy is not following directions and making things harder for himself.

[High On Octane]

ANNNNND he broke the alternator bracket.  Go new guy!  Wooooooo! 

[gizzo]

And You're messing about on the interwebs at work ! 
Just funnin' ya Scottie. Congrats man. The feeling you get leaving a job  can be pretty darn good. I'm gonna apply cor anew job today too. Is love it b it the pay and conditions of the one I have are too good to ditch. Maybe ill use it as a trial run for when I'm really ready to jump ship.

[The Old Coot]

ANNNNND he broke the alternator bracket.  Go new guy!  Wooooooo! 

Scotty don't laugh to hard, bet is YOU have to bail him out. 

[High On Octane]

Scotty don't laugh to hard, bet is YOU have to bail him out. 

Fortunately not.  Haha. He was doing valve cover gaskets on a 2010 Forester.  He was told to unbolt the motor mounts and lower the car onto a jack stand to raise the motor 2".  He decided to try raising the motor with a chain hoist hooked to the A/C compressor bracket.  Which lasted about 10 seconds before the bracket snapped.

[heloego]

But of course, mon ami!
He is younger, therefore he knows better! 
Maybe he learned from this.
Maybe.

You are 100% right for making fun of skinny jeans...especially if you work in a physical job.  I had some college kid show up for work to train as a timber cruiser wearing skinny jeans tucked into his work boots.  I told him if the loggers don't kill or rape him (not always in that order) the first day he should be fine. 

Two days on the job he admitted that he ended up with a sweat rash and that he was super embarrassed when the the loggers fell over and out of their equipment laughing at him as he walked by.  Those guys aren't subtle   Next day he was in Carhartts.

Keep on him!!
