So here's a dilemma: A month ago I bought a bunch of stone from Home Depot. A fire pit, sidewalk blocks, etc. The procedure to buy them was such a pain in the ass - go outside, get a list from the attendant, come inside and wait in line to get an invoice, then go and wait in line to pay, then come out and get loaded. It was heavy enough (probably 2,500lbs) that I split the load in half so as to not overextend my 16-year-old truck. They loaded me for the first half, and true to form I had to go BACK inside and have my invoice re-done to reflect that I had taken some of the stones. I went home and unloaded, and when I came back the entire part of the parking lot that was fenced off and filled with yardstones had not a soul in it. I proceeded to load myself with over 1,500lbs of stone (the firepit stones were last, and heavier) and still...never saw a person. I went up to the till in the garden centre when I was done and asked if I needed any kind of paperwork done, and the cashier said "No, but there should be someone out there." So I thought, fuck it. I'm leaving. Now, my dilemma: HD left a voicemail yesterday asking me when I planned on picking up the remaining stones on my order. Since they had no one outside to witness me taking this stuff, they have no idea that I took it. I could go back and pick up another load of rock. Or I could go back and get a refund. Or I could be honest, call them and say I already took the rock and to update their computer accordingly. What should I do? Normally I'd be honest, but holy shit it was a nightmare trying to buy it, and I'm tempted to shove this one up their ass. Focus: It's football season! Let's do hot sports chicks. And other random stuff.
Tell them to update your order, or karma will come back to get you in some way. She is a spiteful bitch. Sure, they should be more on the ball, but you can't control that, only how you respond to it. I laid in bed this morning thinking of suitable excuses to call off that hell hole that some call work. But in the end, I just couldn't do it. Maybe we both need to become more shady dcc.
I agree with Mya, be honest about the rock. If they suck, tell them or go elsewhere or whatever, but don't sell your integrity and dignity for a pile of stones.
I don't know what I'm going to do when my uncle kicks the bucket. I've been using him as an excuse to get out of work when my store manager, Gunt McGuntercutty, decides to call me in on Sundays, my day off. "Sorry, I'm not even in town! Really." He'll be dead 20 years before I can finally use my kids as excuses. That's really the only reason to have kids. To get out of work and free yard labor. And DCC, they probably have you on security camera. Not that anyone would bother reviewing tapes. Not there is ever anyone actually in the office watching anyway. Out of curiosity is it 30 pieces of rock? JUDAS! What's our theme animal this week? I propose the bird of paradise for it's awesome Let's Make Fuck" dance.
Second the "watch out for Karma" call. She hits back ten times as hard. My hippy boss owns me at the moment (I work at a pub). She's just hired three new staff members (when probably 1-2 was enough), which means a whole new roster change to intergrate the newbies. Naturally, everyone is worried about losing hours. The majority of our staff do part time University + part time work at the pub, but this job is basically full time for me, as I've finished University, but I am staying on as I have travel plans and they afford me the luxury of both the time off work for the holiday without hassle (10 weeks) and guarentee of getting straight back into work once I'm home. If I was to use my degree to get whatever job, all holiday plans would basically be out the window. So considering I rely on this job for all my income + holiday saving, I'm rather desperate. Therefore my boss is taking full advantage, and calls me last minute to drop horrible weekend night shifts on me whenever possible. As a result, my plans for Saturday night have now been completely fucked, as she called me today "asking" (knowing I'm obliged to say yes) to work. I had nothing planned for tonight, as I'm trying really hard to budget (once a week is all I can afford, if anything), so beers at home it is. I've now reached a level of intoxication where reading Game of Thrones is futile (the array of characters are hard enough to keep up with as is), so the latest episode of Survivor is being downloaded. Speaking of my trip, I'll be spending a week in Winnipeg. In January. Should I wear thermals Dcc001? I'm yet to experience the joys of temperature in the negative degrees Celcius (or snow, for that matter).
Happy WDT every one! DCC, there is no right way to do a wrong thing. Let them know you got the stone.....BUT also let them know that they could have easily been taken, and that the correction from their side is to keep a loader on hand at all times. It sucks that you had to load your own. Meanwhile, your project sounds awesome, post pics some day.
I got called into work this evening, so that will be what I am doing. I only work part-time, so I really don't mind. When I get back I will probably be playing with my new iPhone 5! Is it sad how excited I am about that? I think so. Dcc--I would also tell them you have the stone. Then you can let everyone know how morally superior you are. That's how it works isn't it? Just me?
What kind of part time job allows you to be able to purchase an iphone 5? I want to work there... I'm just keeping low in my cubicle hoping that my boss doesn't ask me to come in tomorrow. I have a couple Southern Tier Unearthly IPAs and a milf to attend to tonight instead.
So I get the comradery that comes with waiting in line for the new iphone, but I have to wonder how many of these people are missing work for it right now? I mean it would probably be a fun thing on a Saturday morning, and I understand a lot of people have a flexible schedule, but I have to imagine that a lot of these people deliberately took off work... to get a phone a couple hours earlier than if they waited until lunch or the day to end. That to me is the height of insanity.
Sometimes I wish I was a drain on society too. I can't believe I got suckered into this whole "work" thing. In other news, lunch needs to hurry the fuck up so I can have a beer or three.
To go to 'Sack's point, Samsung now making fun of Apple customers in their commercials And now for the hot sports chicks Spoilered for size Spoiler
What is the average cost per pound, for a full pig? I feel like one of you people would know the answer to this weird question.
I was waiting for the lemming posts! I don't care. I know everyone says other phones are better, but for what I use it for, it's fine. Plus I don't want too big of a phone since I tend to just put them in my back pocket. I have the 3GS but it is 3 years old and starting to die. I heard their map app sucks big-time, but I never used it anyway. I also feel obligated at this point to say I am NOT on welfare. It's an early Christmas present. I would have waited until then, but I'm not sure how much longer I'll get out of my current phone.
About 5 beers and a couple compliments. Oh, you mean the eatin' kind. Don't pay over $2.50 a pound. 'Murican currency, not that stupid duck currency.
How many beers before work is acceptable? Also, considering the timing of Parker's dilemma last week, I thought it'd be appropriate to share another significantly useless ultimatum with TiB, which was discussed at length between my group of friends a few weekends ago. What would you choose between sweating paprika every day or spontaneously shitting your pants once a month?
Wow, I didn't realize that's what my phone purchase was saying about me. I just thought it was neat. That's it, I'm returning it! Ballsack thinks I'm an elitist.
