So if you go to the sex toy store and buy a inflatable doll just get a birthday card to get with it?

Why not just buy it from Amazon and avoid the human interaction?

Maybe you have some kind of urgent need and just can't wait for next day shipping? Must have nipple lube NOW!

Edna doesn't bother me.

The nearest drug store had a coffee shop that my Dad frequented on Saturday mornings. The first time I purchased condoms I went to a different drug store several miles away. Then I figured if my purchase was the topic of the Saturday morning coffee group my Dad would be proud and started buying them there. He never said anything about it.

I also took a bunch of work away from the dedicated inspector and shifted it into the shop.
The dedicated inspector is my son so he and I had a long talk about what he thought would help him and make it better for us. He is salary so it won't hurt him any, and he has been there for four years and has a solid grasp on the place.
It is gonna be good, and we are gonna have a lot of fun. Now if I could just get the IT guy there to run the three hard lines I deed I would be all set. My tools roll on friday morning, I scheduled the rollback this morning.
I am actually excited about this, too bad there are cars involved
Our problem is HR. She has not disciplined a single employee since she has been here. She has fired them for being 2 minutes late, but no reprimands for breaking the rules. Now management complains about being short staff and no one on staff feels like they should work. It couldn't be because 90% of the issues we have the staff are basically told to stop it but nothing ever happens unless you aren't liked, then you get fired. Fortunately I get to work with the servers. They still act up, but it isn't like dealing with stupid people. I am not a people person.

If I were closer Rick I would run those for you. I would even use the good stuff from Panduit.

Wonder what modern day pirates would do if while they were approaching a boat it raised the Jolly Roger and started firing cannons at them!
A Javelin missile is so much better.

We had a new accounting manager come in many years ago. The department was all women. Every single one of them left crying and three of them were children of other long time employees that went to school to specifically work at the company. He replaced them with women from his church that had no idea what they were doing. But hey, they thought it was great to start the day with a group prayer session.

I just thought it would be hilarious for a container ship to hoist the Jolly Roger and a bunch of canon doors open up on the sides of the ship and start firing.

Reasonable price on factory ammo as well. Here it is a minimum $15 per hour to rent a hand spoon at the range.

There are all sorts of rules about when you can and can't go spoon happy on skinnies'.....so many rules that it's a really painful power point presentation.

Looks like we're gonna have to skip some of the water practicals.....apparently they don't think that teaching an introduction to small craft waterborne marksmanship is a good idea in 6-8ft swells. Maybe the weather will blow over.

Evening Y'all
Joe they are predicting 8-10 inches of rain for the state, I doubt there will be any blowing over from this one.
Got my networks set up today so I now have my private phone network and my computers are all hard wired. Had t add a new switch for the added usage
Someone forgot to tell me I am a mechanic I guess
