[Birds Away]

Morning Snap. It is what it is.

Hey CM I found a 3 pak of CM power mags 10 rd for $89.97

Where????
My mag case will have some empty slots in it after Sunday......

Might be just enough in the gunfunfund to replace them

Shadow haven't seen ya in awhile!

 

[churchmouse]

Good to see-ya shadow

Morning all.......

 

[Snapdragon]

Hi Birds. Yep, it is. Jobs are scarce, especially for middle-aged folks. That's why I'm living the dream $11 at a time here at the hospital.

I think he found them on Midway. He'll be back in a few.

Like you say, that's better than what a lot of people are making...and you're helping people.

Around here there's nothing to go to. llh and I are not spring chickens either.

Yeah, there is that. I can see you guys are stuck.
I was blessed to be in a trade that was short on "GOOD" people. I made several job changes in my 60's.

Yep, when I retired after 26 years I would talk to folks and they would say "so, you don't have any real job experience?"

WTF?

You can think human resources (usually) for the stupidity in hiring right now

There are more options in larger Urban areas. That is why the interstates are bumper to bumper inbound in the morning and outbound in the evening. Thousands of folks driving hour+ to get to and from work. Part of living in the way out.

Those people are why we are in the fix we are in these days. They are totally clueless.

This is why anywhere I work, the HR department is gonna hate me

I would like to think I'm helping people, but as I hear nearly every day, I'm "just the secretary". I do try to show some compassion to the people that I speak with on the phone, but I miss the feeling of really helping like I felt when I was teaching.

Every single person in a hospital is vital to patient care. I don't care what doctors, nurses, pharmacists, patients, janitors, maintenance guys, or anyone else thinks. A hospital is a finely tuned machine, and when one gear isn't in place it can screw up the whole thing.

There is an awful lot of lip service out there to helping out and honoring veterans. Unfortunately, it only involves bumper stickers and waving a flag at a parade.

That is why I tried to stay away from anything that had an "HR" dept. as I would most likely have ruined a few desks and made some HR "Dweeb" **** him/her self. **** those idiots.

I ended my career sub-contracting for service company's (HVAC) so I did not have to directly deal with the idiots in the office. Seldom would you run across an office idiot with any knowledge of the trade. No freaking idea what we did in the field. None.

Pink ribbons. No more than that.
