Can you tell my employer that? I always joke at work that my dispatch gets confused about the difference between 7 and 11. I almost always get off at minimum 1 hour late. Last week, I got off 5 hours late one day. :\

That tells me that your management has absolutely zero respect for you as an employee.

There aren't too many days in the San Joaquin Valley when you can enjoy the mountains from the valley floor, but today sure is one.

Merry Christmas indeed:
$1,110 on 23.5 units
$1,010 on books for said units
$355 for a crankshaft seal, brake pads, oil filter, and oil for my truck
AND $660 for 4 new tires for my truck.
I'm pretty sure the only time I've spent more money is when I bought my truck. On a plus note, I've kept my Christmas shopping $20 per person, shopping for 3 people so $60 total. Thank God I saved money when I was a seasonal firefighter!

Instead of saving for retirement without kids, I think I'm going to start saving for Christmas with kids.... I only hear horror stories of Christmas from ages 5-15, then every 17 yr old wants a car that they'll never get(at least from me)Wait until you have kids of your own

I started a battle on Facebook. Someone asked what happened with a TC on the freeway and someone else replied "I don't know but I heard helicopters landing to fly people out".
They didn't quite understand that in order to land a helicopter on the freeway that all lanes have to be closed. Then they started to try to say "oh well then they must have landed on the off ramp". Yeah, no. Not with power poles, light poles, a bridge, and a steep embankment all there.
Plus it would make no sense to land an airship. You have 4 trauma centers all less than 30 minutes away and your closest hospital is literally 0.2 miles away from the scene.

Never can fall asleep when I got something cool the next day. Get to see old shooting buddies. Have gone through half of I Prevails lifelines album and an unknown amount of wheat thins trying to get tired...It isn't working and my alarm goes off in 4 hours....

I get to do something similar soon, but with meds. There's a list of four meds I say I cannot take because I would break out in hives, SOB.... as a kid. Haven't tried taking them in over thirty years. Multiple docs have said that I should get tested to see if I have the same reaction now.
The wife says I need to up my life insurance first.

Same thing happened in Phoenix. The high was only like 57 after having been in the 70s. I think it got down to 38 last night.
