ALL of them:cuss2:......For the past 18 1/2 yrs.....to be exact. (Well....The MAIN ASSHOLE started with me about 2008.....so about 8 yrs. of REAL bullshit).
Before anyone thinks, "Hey.....It's probably Kev.....since he thinks (just about) all his bosses are assholes. Here's the quick back-story. We have a union @ our work (and it's a good thing, otherwise I wouldn't have a job there)....and I'm NOT the shop steward, but I'm second on the list. The main boss is a real jerk, and doesn't like the shop steward (since they butt heads a lot). I'm guilty by association. And....since I have to help the regular workers (when a boss is jerking them around or doing something NOT right to them), and I have to sometimes deal with union issues.......I've been MARKED. The main boss AUTOMATICALLY tells any and all new supervisors about the situation, and lets them know that he doesn't like me/us. The main boss tried to write me up twice last year. Once for having the flu (and going over my sick days by 1....and we only get 5 a year).....and the second time was when my wife's flight got cancelled (she had to go down to Florida because her Mom was very sick and in the hospital), and I had to make calls to the airline, and get my wife, son, and her sister back to CT (since they had to spend the night @ the airport in N.C.), and had to pick them up a day later than when they should've been back. He finally got me, when I had brake problems with my car, and had to turn around, go home, and fix them. I had plenty of vacation time to use, but we have to give at least 48 hours notice to use them......So.....he got me on a technicality. I have to watch my back.....and front....EVERYDAY. That's just the tip of the iceberg......but I think y'all get it.

Truck drivers have done good by me. Did a lot of hitchhiking once upon a time, coast to coast in fact. Truckers were some cool dudes.
I agree.. I'd pull into a truck stop and usually find a few folks looking for a ride.. I would ask on the CB sometimes even, just for the company..truck'n was a great way of life...

I've had a pretty good day so far. It's been raining on and off all day so I've been trying to teach wifey to make coils in case there comes a time when I can't. It's nice being retired, I just wish it would dry up so I can get going on my garden.
I am making coils now. Getting ready to make some claptons. What are you using to make them on?

I know all about that shit I've worked a couple union jobs one for 18 yrs, they closed down and moved to break the union, the other for 8 it was a constant struggle management vs union.

You're gonna like the Pico. I've been using it the past 3 days, and enjoy the size and ergos of it. If keeping the Melo 3 on it, get a ceramic coil for it, the flavor on them is good.
I bought one without the tank:(. I'm not a coil builder (damn, I wish I had the time and patience for it), so I'll throw an Arctic tank on it (.5 DC). That should work for me.

Sorry!......I missed your post. I have a tear in my rotator, and it's been there since 2010. I've dealt with the minor pain from it up til' last May (about 2 months after being "repurposed" at my work. My first Dr. has said that operating on it is not going to solve my pain (since it's in the muscles that lead from my rotator all the way up to the base of my neck). Now, after getting injections that have done nothing, Dr. #2 wants to MRI my neck, and see if that's where the problems are stemming from.
It sounds like they're thinking nerve pain....
Did they mention EMG?
That would be to check your nerve reaction in or to confirm or rule out nerve interaction.

This is one of the hardships with rotator cuff style injuries....could be scarring, could be nerve damage, could be structural, could be a combination.

Sorry brother, not a lot of answers anytime soon, I hope they figure your puzzle out.

Yes...on the EMG (he told me the simplified version/nerve tests). Scheduled for next week.

Hello everyone, long day, well my Turkey Vulture war is over for the time being, just finished cleaning up 193 carcasses and there is probably another 50 or 60 more to clean up. I guess about 50-60 made it out but I got the majority of the flock. I fed the Sheriff grilled burgers he stayed for about 45 minutes, the 2 Deputies had to leave and go on patrol, the Deputies videoed everything, I asked the Sheriff if I could get a copy and he said no and asked me to keep it quiet, they did not want it out because of the obvious, and I don't want to make PETA Pie. Glad it's done.:vino:

So that's where my drillbit went!:gaah: ( using Andria's husband's voice:teehee:).

Heh... he knew when I did it, seeing how I left the kit open... That was the only thing he complained about, that I didn't leave everything just the way I found it. :D

The Wednesday (hump day) camel you use to post

OH! I got the impression that he wasn't very welcome. :D But I do love that video, it cracks me up everytime I view it. :D It's even better than the actual commercial since it doesn't have the Geico chatter at the end. :D

Well I liked it and you said it was tradition

It was, over in ECF's tootle puffer thread -- if I didn't post that, there was anarchy and much complaining. :D But I've kinda settled in to VU and stopped pining for ECF, especially since so many of my old peeps have come over here. :D
