Spike, The Flaming FAWTL Bike's page

rumbles menacingly

Start at 3:29

ties blindfold around the eyes of captain yesterday, NobodysHome, fires flaming bikes at them repeatedly

NO BRINGING DRAMA FROM OTHER THREADS HERE!

Man, that was a great... something last night, though I was rooting for the Splash Brothers, the Cavs clearly needed this one more, and Curry took a couple of bad shots at the end. Though in fairness to Curry that was a fast last few minutes of the game, even I was surprised when it was suddenly a minute or so left.

Still, big props to the Cavs (and especially Cleveland) they earned it. :-)

rides around captain yesterday with flaming wheels, each rotation bringing flames higher

NO SPORTS!

Yeah some of my younger workers have the same attitude (that the weekly schedule is merely a suggestion). Was there a thing for a certain group of parents to do everything they could to shelter their children from responsibility? If so they weren't doing their kids any favors as nobody is going to promote a person who can't be bothered to show up as scheduled. That is if they don't just fire them outright. I wonder if that is a part of the statistic showing a large number of children living at home after school is finished.

I've posted it before and I'll post it again: Show up to work on time, do your job, and don't slack off, and you'll be the best employee your boss has ever had.

Sad, but true.

And now that I've been in the work force for 30+ years, I'll say that slackers have always existed, but a higher percentage of today's teens and early twentysomethings have the "I'm too good for this job" attitude. Yes, I have 50-year-old friends who are STILL like that. But having been on hiring committees for 20+ years now, I am definitely seeing more of the, "Who cares that there's a typo on my resume? It's the cell phone era! No one cares about spelling any more!" attitude and the like.

Not some fundamental paradigm shift, but if I had to throw numbers at the thing I'd say around 10-20% of my 1990's interviews had that, "You should be honored I'm considering working for you" attitude, and nowadays it's closer to 30%. Enough to notice. Not enough to scream that the sky (or flaming bikes) is falling...

Okay, Freehold is in better shape. Thus isn't as agonizing as it could be.

Still.

HE ain't light.

So...my wife is meal planning for next month for us, which is great, and I just got my buddy to agree to work out with me starting probably Monday, so...yeah!

Also my wife has told me she is planning on getting my bike fixed as a gift for me.

I'm back in the saddle, people!

Ride free, brother.

But the worst part of Texas is the people!

Hey. HEY! Freehold's losing weight and going to the gym regularly. Don't make him do it.

Idiot drivers... they totaled my Cavalier and my Neon.

There ARE countries which require far more rigorous driver training, more akin to the sort of training NobodysHome and I received. ALL countries should require such training.

BAH! BIG GOVERNMENT! INEFFICIENCY! FREEDOM FOR AMERICANS! CUT TAXES, NOT DRIVERS! MORE JAIL FOR OFFENDERS! WE DON'T NEED NO EUROPEAN SOCIALISM HERE! *RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE*

You can have my gun when you pull it out of my cold dead tentacle

Dont make Freehold ride me.
