The stress and amount of work and decision making when applying for a new role, even if it's with the same company. Been working on my resume and such for over a week every evening at home, put in for the job last night. We shall see.

Good luck!!

I haven't done a resume for well over 2 decades. Hopefully, I'll stay where I am until retirement which I'm guesstimating to be in 10-12 years, at this point in time.

Good luck on your application!

I have been forced to rejoin the workforce in the world of resumes an std interviews due to physical limitations. Not something I am really cut out for, but you play the cards you are dealt. I much prefer the tattoo industry. Take a walk out back with the owner, smoke a little something green while they check out my portfolio, and show me the station I get to sling ink from. All these conventional formalities are just a big headache.

Thanks fellas! Regardless of who they choose, I just want the right person in the role to lead our teams of technical experts. Whether that's me, or someone else.

But, if you had to pick one....

No-brainer, it's obviously Butthead. He was always the leader of the two. We also can't have Beavis's schizo personality of Cornholio coming out to play either.

I would choose Beavis. Whom I can easily mold and persuade to do all my  evil biddings.

For a minion role I agree. This is a leadership role however, and that won't end well. I don't think Beavis is capable of leading a dog, on a leash.

No, he would just stand there and laugh at the dog's turd all day.

Been at work since 8:15, still here. Glad one of the other guys ordered us pizza earlier, as I'm eating dinner in my office tonight and not with my wife.

It is always clear at the end of the night there is a major difference between myself and my coworkers. They want to be done, and I want the job to be done. The youthful chorus of....you can just leave that for tomorrow drives me f%$&in nuts. You could just finish the damn job without whining.

I almost feel guilty I haven’t contributes anything RC related in months at this point. There’s just absolutely no way I can get a rig out and there’s no end in sight. Anyways, here’s your irregularly scheduled weather complain from Jojobeans. Officially the coldest winter in 100 years. I paid $5/gallon for heating oil this morning.

I am very familiar with being attached to somewhere. I'm very attached to my mountains here. BUT, I cannot deal with that kind of cold. My ass would be leaving ASAP. But, I have family that lived in Alaska and they miss it badly.

It’s not normally like this. This is VERY peculiar and I usually enjoy the winters. Some of my best RC’n is done in the winter months. 1 year ago today, it was 40 degrees and by mid april most of the snow was gone. It’s usually tolerable and we’ll get a week or two of -50 spread out over the whole winter. Instead we got -50 for 1.5 months straight, record snow fall in 3 days and then another 1.5bmonths of -20. Lol I'm not even sure if the snow will be gone by May at this rate. My coworkers house has been frozen up for 2 months now with no water or septic. I’m just happy that the contents of my house stayed a liquid. It feels like I’m living through a natural disaster.

At this point, it’s not even being attached that keeps me here. It’s the job market, my aging parents and my house… summers are to die for. But, at this rate I may ACTUALLY have to die for it

There is one thing that has been very nice and I’m extremely happy I have the means to do so. I park inside of a warm garage at home and park my truck inside of a warm building when I go to work. If I was parking outside; I’d be getting the next flight to Mexico, faking my death and starting over. My buddies electric bill was $603 for the month from plugging vehicles in. Some people had $1900 electric bills. I’m grateful I haven’t gotten price gouged by the monopoly of a power company we have here. My highest power bill was $70.
