Official Gramps' Memorial Eternal OT Thread

A few days ago the wife came in from the garage with something from the freezer - the same freezer that I've been struggling with and have pulled off my levelling blocks at least twice. I said "HTH did you get the freezer door open?" and expected disaster in the garage. She said you just put your fingers under the edge and break the seal. Got home from shopping and had my hands full, tried her trick, and opened the door easily with a couple of fingers. How she can go from questionable mental status to genius is something for the Twilight Zone. You don't even have to dig into the gasket - just a little nudge works.

Just because you are an idiot (in a specific application) doesn't mean she is a genius.

Ever wonder what she tells her friends about you? "He couldn't even open the freezer. Bless his heart!"

You'd think I would visit the beach more often than I do seeing as how I am dealing with a hurricane tonight. These damn GA pines are going to knock power out all over Atlanta.

This your BIL?

well my work is going from 0 to 100 real fast.

went from having one large project on hold, to having a new small project with the one on hold. Then I had a new large to go with the new small and old large. and now it sounds like the old large project is coming back on line to go with the rest.

worst part is, office just laid some people off a week ago, and we are short staffed now.

If I was one of those laid off, I’d get a nice raise now. Or, at least a guaranteed nice severance for next time.

I’ve said it before:

Young people, recognize this universal truth; HR is the enemy!

Not a good night to live in a town named Perry. The storm center is almost over Perry, FL now and headed right over Perry, GA later tonight.

2 Monster white oaks in the back yard uprooted and down, took the power, phone and cable lines down with it. AEP said for me to expect to be without power for at least 2 and maybe several days. I can hear trees coming down all through the valley.

Had one of my Raliegh based crews working here in Nashville this week. Told them yesterday to just keep their rooms for the weekend, going to have them over to the house for a big feed tomorrow weather depending.
