Random thread: Where's your postcount now, (tpd) bitch

HAHAHAH Naw FUCK THAT SHIT!

You'd never get me on one of those boats!

No, the boat I would be on would be MASSIVE compared to those ones. They do everything on the ship. Catch process and store the fish all right there. They just have to go back to land to unload and refuel and what not.

Probably not on one of these either (I don't know why, in my adulthood I've suddenly developed an irritional fear of exceptionally deep water) but it's good to know you're not in danger of being washed overboard every 10 seconds!  How long would you be going out for at a time in an operation like that?

Today, I should finally hear about my transfer the store up in Renton has been fucking around a lot. But today I should know. (A HUGE perk of the HR lady going to church with my mom.) Also last day at this walmart.  Either way, I have been stressing out about it for a long while...

Good luck!  Would be nice to see this one come to a close!

Thanks Static.

With as cold as the water would be I'm pretty sure death would be fast if I was washed off the boat. Sinking would be the issue. They have the survival suit things that will keep you alive for a lot longer. But meh.


I have read that the trips out are 60-75 days. And there would be little/no contact with the out side world. They have satellite phones, but they are for company use, so they charge either 1-1.50 a minute or I have also read 10 bucks a minute. They do have regular mail, however it is also slow as hell to. So more or less 2(.5) months with no real out side human contact.


And I still don't know about the transfer. Ugh. I'm also heading up to Seattle in a few hours to sign for the apt. And hope they are cool with me not having the paper work/knowing if I will even get the transfer... Ugh. So much was riding on that for it to fucking fail me....

sorry to hear the people processing the transfer are so fail.  You have been there for so many years and it shits me to se them hold no value in that.  To be honest, that seems to be how most places work now even in corporate-land.  They have the attitude that "you are lucky to work here," instead of thinking about actual retainment of a good employee and not having to shell out the time and money to retrain someone new.

Basically, HR departments are a bunch of fuckfaces.  8)

Thanks r00 and ya its Shit of them ( I'm on my phone so expect more typos ) but ya it pissed me off they are fucking me over like they are. But meh.  I had to change my phone number on my Costco app. But somehow I had to do the whole thing over. And the fishing jobs Gona app for.the boats.

I'm going to head to uh old work tomorrow and see whats up with my transfer. Hope I get some good news.

Also got the place. It's a lot nicer then I though it would be (kinda. For as much as it is, I would have been pissed if it was ghetto or meth labish.) The bathrooms are set up kinda fucked. It's a 2 bedroom 1.5 bath. there is shower bathroom, and then other bathroom right next to it, in fact they share a sliding door. Which is what's fucked about it to me. Other wise it's nice. I'm getting the bigger bedroom (It has two closets. Which is cool, I can keep all my shit in it.   All in all I'm happy about it. Money will be tight. But as long as I budget I shouldn't have any issues.)


However they go with comcast for teh intertubes. And they may not do torrenting. So that may suck a lot...

Put an offer in on a house. Been shitting bricks and losing sleep all week. Only thing I've heard so far is my realtor politely telling me how pissed off he is because the seller's agent is being a total dingleberry. We'll see what happens. :/

Aaron, be a hardass about that transfer stuff.  Go over their head to corporate if you have to.  It shouldn't be taking this fucking long.  Being the LARGEST PRIVATE EMPLOYER IN THE WORLD, transfers are something they do thousands of a month.  I wonder if you are dealing with an local employee issue and not a process issue.  Kick 'em in the peppers and make them do their fucking job. 

Drone, that is awesome!!!  I know where you are coming from with this stress.  We got our current home at the midnight hour due to our own agent being a fucking pussy and not kicking some ass.  It took me calling and ranting at the loan office (because the agent wanted to be mr. nice guy) to actually get the deal pushed through.  The loan office kept taking exterior pictures of the wrong house for their appraisal and were using that to hold us up.  I seriously thought I was going to have a heart attack because we already had the home we were selling on contract and timing was everything.  Let us know how it goes and pre-grats on having your own place!

i am so fucking horrified at what happened in colorado this morning.
jesus christ, what the fuck is the world coming to.

[r00]

yeah it's sad stuff.  I still don't understand it.  I'll pass through Aurora tonight on my drive home.  8(

[TPD]

as a geek this really cuts me deep. just everything about it so fucking weird and sad.
like the girl from texas that escaped the recent toronto shooting getting killed in this shooting.
and the reports of the shooter calling himself the joker and booby-trapping his home with chemicals and pyro.
christ.

Just got a call from the HR person here in town. I GOT A TRANSFER! they want me to start the 28th. In produce (which is hella kush,) The timing of the start kinda fucked. BUT I got a transfer either way... Best thing, I know Produce pretty well, my roommate works in that department, and we would help each other/slack off together... Heheheh. I really just hope I get a set time for work, even night shift wouldn't be to bad, since I would get there and leave when the buses are in full swing. I just hope I work either mid day or nights. (granted I haven't really looked at the night routes. Right now for a in the day buss ride, it's just under an hour.)

The calm I feel now is amazing. I'm not stressing out about place to stay. Then just how the hell am I gona pay for place to stay. NOW I got it all settled. Bus riding is gona be odd. BUT I should get used to it fast. 


And the shooter is fucked.

I thought I ordered more stress.   Where is my quadruple helping?  I don't think I have quite enough yet.

im seriously about to just get in my car and drive until it all stops.

The problem with having a big family is that there are too many funerals to go to.

Switch that to "plane" and you can hide out at my place or we can swing by the Winchester until it all blows over!

sounds like a good plan.  I'll wait until after the Olympics though.  Your city seems to be a nightmare to get around in at the moment.  8-p
