@matigo Have a good day because, being in the future, you are a barometer of sorts for me.
I have another in New Zealand but she has teenaged daughters thus always has a bad day so I'm probably going to fire her.
@kdfrawg Typical hammer weighs around 85 pounds. And when you see them do it on TV, that's fake. If you just stood there like that, you'd bury the bit then have to bust it loose with a sledgehammer. You have to wrench that hammer up, down and back up to pry what you'e broken away (This is if the concrete is thick).
It's exhausting. I am not even physically capable of doing it for 15 minutes now let alone an eight hour shift.

@phoneboy My back, shoulders and hands hurt looking at that. Worked construction to help pay college expenses. Stuck on a job to remove a loading dock. Floors were supposed to be 18" thick according to blueprints drawn up in the 1930s. They were over a yard thick (Filled the entire pit with left-over cement). Had to bust up every bit with a jackhammer and cut the rebar with a torch.
She keeps me sane…
Her: Beef Stroganoff is in the crock pot
Me: On purpose or did it sneak in there and surprise you?
Her: I put it there goober.
Me: Who's Goober?
Her: Dad calls everyone Jethro.
Her: I saw a platypus!
Me: In the crock pot??
Me: And did you your dad call it Leroy?
Her: No, by a creek
Her: It wasn't a platypus. It was a dead raccoon.
Me: You suck at wildlife.
@kdfrawg I guess I'm just irritable today. I've always been of the opinion that if you shelter yourself from other points of view yet feel an uncomfortable urge to sneak from the shelter…You might want to seriously rethink your take on things.
@kdfrawg Sense of responsibility. I took this place on of my own freewill and walking away would put a lot of incomes at jeopardy.
It really sucks living in an age where we can build our own groupthink bubbles and spare others our perversions / obsessions yet we still seek validation outside of those bubbles.
Just stay in your damned bubble.
And..an email from a client complaining how the GOP's ObamaCare replacement is ObamaCare.
Pausing before I click send on the reply..
"I told you 'ObamaCare is gone' was equal to 'I promise to pull out' and you got snippy with me.
PS: The wall is bullshit too. Have a great day."
And, really, why pester people you do business with with politics anyway?
It's just rude. Especially when the recipient doesn't give a damn.
