Is kissin ass the key to success?

No. Being polite and professional does. So does being level headed, able to swallow emotional faults while thinking past any hurdle ones team could ever encounter in order to get shit done.

With that said, it's Thursday and I'm a broke fool, but I got beer and a boat, bitches.
 
Ask my former manager how much I kissed his ass... :lol: I won't say you'd find my boot prints on his cheeks, but I definitely spoke my mind when I felt it necessary. Needless to say, I'm MUCH happier in my current capacity. And my new manager and I get along great. :cool:



Speaking of knowing when to keep my trap shut - the other day, while walking past a coworker (who happens to have friends in incredibly high places, let's just say) seemed to have an overwhelmingly strong fragrance wafting from him that reminded me very much of what I assume to still be a controlled substance. As soon as I thought about jokingly mentioning in passing that he must have been cutting the grass late last night, I had a memory flash across my mind....

*cue the harp for dream music transition*
I was but a shit stain on the bottom of the boot of my CO (many many years ago, still a young PFC in the USMC...), and a group of us were out at a bar off base throwing back a few and shooting the breeze. I happened to look across the room and saw my SSgt lay a big wet one on an incredibly fine looking young lady. Casually, I said to one of the other guys (he was a Corporal) that she didn't look like government issue, much less the one issued to him. Before I could blink, my back was against the wall with an iron grip around my neck, and the Corporal coolly said if I squeaked a word of that to anyone, he'd rip my throat out through my neck.

Now, these days I fear no man, but I also don't have a clue how desperate someone might get to cover their own ass.

Moral of that story is to your coworkers, be courteous, be respectful, and know when to say "I don't know nuffin!" :lol:

This is when every time you walk by the coworker you say, littering and, littering and, littering and.....
Eventually he googles it and figures out he smells like reefer....

I'm pretty sure that I just read that as a scene from Gomer Pyle :lol:
 
Smashing your finger in half hurts like hell. 8 stitches, broke upper and middle knuckle. Had to sew through the nail to keep it together. It was a shitty day yesterday, now to see a hand specialist.

I just got a weird bottom of my balls, I’m gonna projectile vomit tingle just looking at that cause I did almost the same damage when I was younger in a 3 point lift on a tractor trying to hook up an implement. I was reaching over the fender to move the lever when said implement shifted and I got my hand pinned. Stoopid on my part but I was young and invincible! I hope you’re lucky enough to have it come back to full use. Mine has about 95% Range of motion after 22 years but still acts up if I’m gripping stuff to hard.
 
I slipped in the mud trying to toss a 70lb. 5' hollow stem auger onto the rack on a drill rig and smashed the tip of my left middle finger/crushed the bone years ago.I pulled off the glove and my fingertip was split like a cracked tomato and flattened like a pancake. I squeezed it back to about round. The pain was so bad I got dizzy/nauseous and had to sit down on the ground. My arm felt like it was being electrocuted from my finger to my shoulder. I remember looking at my finger and wondering how it could hurt so bad and thinking it would probably feel better if it was just cut off. After 15/20 mins. it felt better but I had to drive back to the office and then home 35 miles w a manual trans.I had to hold my hand above my shoulder/heart or the throbbing was unbearable and drove/shifted w the right hand and steered w my leg.

It's probably better you crushed that finger and not your pointy one.

Not bad Mr Hammer sticks.

Yeah, with a nickname like "hammer sticks", this is perfectly normal.

Looking forward to seeing you at gulches again soon hopefully.

Be honest - was one of your first thoughts, "The gang on NC4x4 are gonna love this!"?

There should be a wrestling league where the only rule is the moves must be the same as a 3 year old would use to avoid bedtime.

I think I'll opt out of the move where I get kicked in the ball's and punch in the nose. Seems to be my son's favorite at the moment.

You go to the hanes mill dump? If so you have to drive in to the landill and weigh in and out if over a 1/2 ton but you can dump. Just can't use the area near the scale where you throw it off into cans.

Ok that's good to know their website does not explain that very well at all, I called the City to ask and that lady was clueless. And yes the Hanes Mill dump, will be making a trip sometime this week.
