AC/DC and Van Halen ... on the way to work.

Doesn't matter how the thing is funded, that push seems to always be there ... and you get half-assed papers at best being published because of it.

The push to publish this stupid paper is starting to piss me off. It'll get done when it gets done.

Your dogs are big enough to require license plates? One is named Bear and the other Shredder. I think they could get away with it

Airbourne - Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast / AC/DC - It's A Long Way To The Top // AC/DC - Big Gun /// Disturbed - Just Stop

Nobody knows how a hole the exact size of a license plate wound up in the wall though. Everyone is totally shocked. I guess I'll blame it on one of the dogs.

Bought two more suits today. Also pulled into the garage and seen a hole punched into the wall about a foot high shaped quite like a license plate. Funny how that works when women drive.

I should have been more specific - I meant if you are planning on going or already in, make the best of it. By all means I 100% support getting a trade or whatever else interests you.

The old Italian saying I really like is ... Chi va piano, va sano - chi va sano, va lontano. He who goes slowly goes safely - he who goes safely goes a long way.

Can't believe some of those damn BlackBerry phones are still $300 on a three year contract. My current contract is up in December ... long way away, but if I'm going to sign a three yeat contract they better give me a free phone. Hopefully there will be some decent deals during the holidays.

Mostly geared towards the older guys of the group ... but definitely want replies from the younger guys as well. During your life, you were given many pieces of advice - what are the most memorable tips given to you? What advice do you wish to pass on to others? I'll start with "think with your big head not your little one" ... and I'll insert the [serious] tag here to at least try and keep this thread somewhat on topic/serious. Listen to people with experience. I'm not talking listen to your old man talk about how he got hammered back in college every Thursday night ... I'm talking about listening to the guy who has been working for 30 years and knows the ins and out of the equipment, process, whatever you are dealing with. Listen to people with experience. Don't say you know unless you really do. If you were to walk into a refinery and after a day I mentioned that you might want to watch the temperature of your furnace a little closer, don't reply with "I know" ... you know? Fine. That's great ... don't come running to me when it blows up. Get as much education as you can and work your balls off when you are young. Nevermind the smoking/partying/drinking/gambling ... bust your butt and get great grades. Scholarships = free money ... apply for as many as you possibly can. Volunteer a little bit. Work four jobs during the summers between semesters. Don't piss your money away on 8000 watts and 6 15" subwoofers. Throw the money in the bank and start an RRSP, invest it, put it in terms, something. Car audio is a hobby, yes .... you'll spend $6000 right now when you really don't have that much to spend, turn around in a couple years and sell it for $3500, spend another $5000 on top of that ... and dig yourself deeper. It isn't going to make you rich. I'm not telling you not to buy stupid shit or things that you are interested in/make you happy, I'm saying be reasonable and be smart financially. Watch out for the women. 98% of them cheat on you, lie, steal, and generally don't care about anything other than getting laid or spending your money. When you find the right one I pray that you know it and don't make a mistake of either keeping the wrong one or missing out on the right one. You are number one. Watch out for yourself. You are the number one thing that should matter to you - take care of yourself. Take care of your family, watch out for your friends and co-workers. Always remember that you are number one. Be a smart shopper and be smart financially. I save $5 a week in eggs by buying a carton of egg whites which replaces two dozen eggs. Riding my bike to work saves me $80 per month. That savings ($1220) pays the car insurance for a year. It is alright to look ahead to the future, but don't plan too far in advance. Be organized. Seriously. Keep yourself mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically healthy. Read. Utilize your local library and spend 5-10 minutes before bed reading something that you are interested in. Perhaps it will help you at work, maybe you'll learn a thing or two, or it might just turn out to be a good book that you recommend to me. Wash your hands. Get yourself out of debt. Do whatever it takes to get your head above water again. Be able to communicate efficiently and effectively. It will really help you in the long run.

Tuesday was our day ... but it flooded so I took a raincheck until today

Nice work

My neighbors Saturn leaks every kind of fluid all over the ground ... right in front of my house. It sounds like it is going to die any day now.

NP: Airbourne - Runnin' Wild

GET EM!!!!! They are damn lucky this shit didn't happen with people in the gym man. Pics of said gym? I'll get you pics - and it did happen with people in the gym. I am off today as it is a holiday here but I went in to do a little bit of paperwork. Next thing you know I'm running around like an idiot getting everybody out.

Actually, I don't feel sorry for them as I will be one of the ones doing the raping.

The building is not even two years old. I guess $33 million wasn't enough to do it properly. I feel sorry for the contractors who did the roof. They are going to get raped.

your personal one? or did u own it and sort of run the place, im sort of confused that sucks man I'm a professor and athletic trainer at a University and I was put in charge of redesigning the gym. I dumped a little of my money into their budget in order to get exactly what I wanted. It's my design, my layout, my equipment choice, and I'm responsible for everything that goes on in there.

Oh it'll all be covered ... but around here they form committee's to talk about forming committee's to discuss what needs to be done. The downtime will be a hell of a lot longer than it should be.

FUCK is all I have to say at this point.

Don't mind it ... but I'm so used to the Graphite skin that I'll stick with that.

I just put in $145,000 worth of new treadmills too. Fuck me.

Well, my gym is ruined. Completely ruined. The roof upstairs leaked, came down through the indoor track and into the gym. $15 million down the fuckin tubes. 4" of water sitting on the floor and all of the equipment is wet. This is just fucking great.

Yeah yeah I spent quite a bit of time sledding this year actually. Well worth it.
