Default Pizza is stressed ...

... over my $(%($(# job. And I quit caffeine yesterday (haven't killed anyone yet, but took a verbal swing at the boss today - then left.)

So, it's time - I'm headed up to the Dragon to play around for the day on Sunday. (Will either drive up Sunday morning or late Saturday afternoon.)

Just letting you all know... if any of you live near enough to make it (and I know a handful do.)

I know that feeling! 6 month "new hire" now knows it all.. "She" won't shut up long enough to pay attention between PDF file .. and PDF directory...

And pointing people to the buffet at Simple Simons Pizza is starting to sound like a good career change!

I"ve been absent lately because I'm working on a different way to earn a living, this crap job might be the best thing that ever happened to me.

We'll see...

You want stress? Work @ Auburn University. Between the losing FB team and disappearing funds and grants, everyone is on edge.

Glad I work underground and behind "HIGH RADIATION AREA" SIGNS.

Keeps the riffraff away....

I won't try to compete, Max. But it's time for me to go, and I'm working on it...

Today is my 3rd day without Caffeine ! ! !

Oh, pal, I wasn't trying to compete. Just commiserate!

You gotta' do what you gotta' do. At least you're smart enough to:

1) see that you gotta' do something

and

2) have options!

Best of luck, buddy.

Pizzaguy - I hope you have a good run! I hope you can dump the stress for awhile - many XFs will be with you in spirit if not in their XF.

From Wiki;
History

The phrase originated during World War II. Lexicographer Eric Partridge attributes it to British army intelligence very early in the war (using the plural dative/ablative illegitimis). The phrase was adopted by US Army general "Vinegar" Joe Stillwell as his motto during the war.[1] It was later further popularized in the US by 1964 presidential candidate Barry Goldwater.[2]

Ah hell, guys, I have been stopped for speeding in a hole in the wall town in Illinois, and yesterday nabbed by the State's finest, for being in the wrong lane....maybe a little speeding...lol...and a company boss, who has never been a boss, but knows it all... He wrote up my fellow driving buddy for working too many hours....lol... That is what we have to look forward to in the "New world order" of today's society. This isn't political, just an observation of today's management. Maybe that is why all the political crap is the way it is as well....So, the bottom line...**** happens and we have to just move on to the next day and a new set of bullshit to be thrown at us.... Just take it day to day....I just need 10 more years hopefully we will make it....

That explains the halo effect around you in the dark, It almost made me quit drinking and take up religion the first time I saw it at the Dragon. LOL

Although I desrved many,I haven't had a ticket in 20 years.
But sumptin is up. I have three in 30 days. All BS, none in the Crossfire.

Rolling stop, Didn't slow down fast enough at a work site and rear licence plate lights.

I'm not driving any different, it's just enforcement is up. Enjoy.

Sorry Pizza. Tension is getting to us all I guess.
Three major projects cancelled Novemeber 7th. First quarter 2013 is empty. Sti llhave to make the rent and payrolls. Wish I still worked for Hostess.
