Stayed til 9am to make sure everything is ok. On my way to the Hotel, boss calls me saying the site in New Jersey needed assistance. Didnt get back to my hotel room til 3pm.. :eek:

That would have made me pretty unhappy. Probably my worst work-related experience was having to go into work on a Saturday to explain to a room full of Sikorsky execs why one of their 30 million dollar helicopters was stuck in a hanger, because my boss 1) decided to arbitrarily make a process change without informing anyone and 2) went golfing and sent me to the office to take the call on his behalf, since he didn't feel like stopping.

I was not allowed to use the "My boss is an idiot" excuse.

The problem too is that our network and internet is routed through our sister company in Fargo so no telling if it originated from there or Miami corporate.

I can toss a movie or two onto my seedbox which you can stream through plex.

Once I pass 14 hours at work, I get into almost a trance where I just keep working. Its weird, hard to explain.

Times like you described is when you develop BS skills. I tell people that I dont really know what Im doing, I just talk and make them THINK I know what Im doing!

I would hang him out to dry, unless he was a good friend. Then I would shoot him when no one was around.

From the pics you post, it looks like a nice area, lots of greenery with random snipers in ghillie suits standing around.. For all that greenery here, youll be spending north of 3/4 of a million.

This one is only $564K. You get a lot of house for the money here and the wages are pretty good.

My area is the same. Green chit everywhere. Can't swing a dead cat around without hitting green chit. My wife is from Denver. She says all the trees here look like broccoli. :rofl2:

Holy Carp! Thats really nice! That would go 1.5 mil easy, in california. My best friend lives in the heart of Silicon Valley, in a 2000 sq/ft 30-40 year old 3 bd house, very small backyard. Theyre getting ready to sell, because the neighborhood is going for over a million on the market.

What would you think a 2,000 sqft brick ranch sitting on a corner lot with 4 bedrooms built in 1956 be worth?

I went to traffic court one time. The judge was a stand in, and he had a chart. One side showed the base fine for whatever offense you commited for the ticket. The other side of the chart showed the price of the fine after taxes and fees. The final price for each fine was more than double the base fine. Rediculous. The stand in judge thought so too, so he told us that if we thought the fine was too much, to ask him to reduce the penalty, and he will consider it (he reduced it for everyone who asked). But as my luck would have it, there was an overflow of cases for that stand in judge for that day. A court clerk came into the room and called off like 20 names to be seen by a Criminal Court judge.. Yeah, I was one of those names. I asked the criminal court judge to reduce my fine, he laughed at me... cost me over 1000 bucks
