cue rick in 50 minutes.

how much did you lose?

[svandamme]

all that mucking about building the shower has done me in, feel like i've been hit by a car.
everything hurts

[nynor]

pussy

[nynor]

the homebrew has really sucked me in tonight. berry blond and coconut porter, amen. there was also the full sail pale ale and half a bottle of orval.

the other half of the orval was sacrificed to the beer gods, in order to make a starter that had some bettanomyces. WTF! you ask. well, i am making a bier de mars and i need some brettanomyces. so there.

Two nights in a row, my heeler wants to play ball at 3:00 am.Gawd you think she was a pup,she's 4 years old. Stoke the fire, and good morn-night.

[nynor]

play ball? as in fetch? in the house?

[Rick V]

Morning, I could get used to this sleeping in thing.

[nynor]

mornin, rick. how did the work thing play out? (!)

[Rick V]

Typical owner smoke blowing up my hind quarters. That's okay I got his number. Doesn't matter much now I am simply going on principal.

[nynor]

a blow by blow would really satisfy my curiosity.

[Rick V]

Okay.
Rick: Jim, when ya get a second I would like to talk to ya.
Jim: Okay, well now works.
( Rick and Jim enter Jim's office and Jim sits, Rick remains standing, this is a mental game so as to tower over Jim)
Rick: Okay Jim, I am going to ask you for the 10% cut that we all took, to be reinstated based on the following observations.
1: the main person who was bleeding you dry no longer works here
2:You let Karen go, so there is one non productive person let go
3: You have increased the labor rate
4:You hired a cleaning crew that comes in 3 days a week, so money can't be that tight
Jim: Uh-huh, I'll look at some things over the weekend.
Rick: Uh Huh, So we can continue this discussion Monday I recon.
Jim:.............................................. .........................
He knows I am watching, and I also asked for the 4 of us to get our money back so I am nit just looking out for me. I think I am going to have to keep on his butt about it. We'll see. Tomorrow will tell a lot. I did however remove the labor board thing from his computer. Here in Va I have no rights so that is counter productive to my plight.

[nynor]

that is a lot more polite than i expected. the last time i had a confrontation with an employer it almost came to blows. the arse-hat has no idea how close he was.

[Rick V]

That was me thursday. I am very directed when I have time to think. When I am ready to hit someone I walk away. To be honest I am afraid of myself when I get to that point. The last person I hit, I really messed up. I don't like that. Although he did hit my daughter so he is lucky I didn't kill him

[nynor]

sounds about right. i think it is my calmness that unnerves folks when i am pissed off.

[Rick V]

Well Like I said, when you hear me you are okay, it is when I get very quiet that people that know me just kinda slink away. It is strange it is like the calm before the storm. There is a very bad storm brewing here. I have several issues with several people that I am getting ready to tackle. The Job is just a warm up.

[nynor]

i am glad i am hearing ya.

[Rick V]

Well I wish I had stood my ground years ago and not let my situation get to the point where I have to bristle up like this. I am good at it but I don't like it. I think when I made a strong effort to contain my violent temper that I went to far and allowed others to walk over me.
No more. Okay happy thoughts..............................
ummmmmmmmmmmmmm
I don't have any, You pick one.

[nynor]

i can't wait to do the tail of the dragon.

[Rick V]

That is not to be missed. You know you can fly out and rent a car. Duke showed up the first year in his wife's Malibu. Too funny

[nynor]

my wife is on board for this pilgrimage. i just need to figure out how to get my 951 and the 900SS out there at the same time.
