Agree 100%. The divisive 'us vs them' attitude is one of the biggest obstacles to progress anymore. We're too busy blaming the 'other' side [Democrat or Republican, Christian or Muslim, management or labor] to notice that the real bad guys have already taken over: there are no jobs to support...

If you've exceeded the speed limit ever, ticket or not, you've broken the law.

It does seem as if workers would be better utilized if 'crosstrained', but I think the obstacle is management's historical habit of 'outsourcing' work, [or directing lower paid workers to do jobs, ostensibly to save time - uh huh] when it's cheaper to do so. Most of the ridiculous provisions in...

My carrier doesn't suggest a route, they simply tell me how many miles I get paid for - if I drive fewer, I consider the extra a bonus. The point was that our paid miles are no different than the worker's quota - we are both expected to produce the desired result, and when we do it faster, we...

:D:D:D Perks of the job, lol.

Maybe you can find one of the "I [heart] boobies" bracelets that are causing such a commotion in the schools lately :rolleyes: Jeanie: I'm putting a check in the mail today, cause I <3 boobies, too. :)

I bet if cameramen could get into the upscale places that management spend their lunch 'hour' [much longer, but then, they aren't required to punch a card to prove they took only the allotted 30 minutes], the video would be pretty outrageous, too. Unions have in some cases, fallen to the same...

Yep - I meant compressor, not condenser [which was repaired last week, and we knew the compressor was on the way out, just hoped it would hang in awhile longer]. Long night, longer morning, sigh, but it's almost done. Who knew it'd be this hot in late Sept?! It's nearly 90 in half the US!!

I'd like a veggie plate, like Cracker Barrel & Black Eyed Pea, with choice of 3 veggies. And salads with grilled meat would be lovely, too. :)

But you'll have no air conditioning....I'm waiting for the techs to replace the condenser that just took out the fan belt on the Sterling. They offered to short belt it, but as they actually have the compressor, [and it's still pretty hot in many places], we're replacing it. Load to Connecticut...

Speaking of hypocrisy: how many of you would, if finding a shortcut that shaves 50 miles from a 500 mile load, inform the carrier that you actually drove [and should be paid for] just 450? :confused: [I wouldn't either!] Greg: that's anecdotal, unless you have something to verify....

If you believe this kind of thing goes on only at union places, it's because it's what you choose to believe - the truth is, it happens at a lot of nonunion places too. The employees deserve to be fired, and no doubt management will see to it, as soon as they return from their 2 hour [and 3...

Welcome, Gus - glad to have new 'voices' here, and hope you'll meet some of us too. :)

You only need 10 seconds with Jeannie to know she's worth double her weight in gold - attagirl! PS Bolt is owned by women?:confused:

Totally agree. :D

Nope - if it's provoked, I am more tolerant, just as the law is, because it makes sense to me. Why can't YOU admit that your unprovoked comments were wrong?

"So called provocation"? That's as large an understatement as I've seen in quite some time, ok? Just as the law recognizes mitigating factors when determining the severity of an offense [even killing someone is acceptable, in self defense], so must we all.

Rather telling, how you [and your other half] have turned it around to be about me, but can't back up the charges. Whereas I've provided several examples of your targeting Witness, without provocation, and you haven't apologized. Turtle was provoked, repeatedly and seriously - what's your excuse?
