    So what kind of people do you work with?

    I'm curious as to whether or or not there are people as frustrated as I am at work. I do have my own office, door and everything, which is great. But I work with some old people who can't hear when I page them for a phone call, they don't know how to operate computers or email as they never did up until last June, and all they care about is the coffee pot all day. They come and try to talk to me WHILE I'M ON A CALL! How unprofessional is that?!

    Sorry. Had to vent.

    Generally I find those people that talk about professionality to be a bit boring, all work and no play makes workers want to shoot each other!

    I'd have to disagree with you there. It all depends on your job.

    You work at a head shop, sure, professionalism, to a degree, goes out the window. You work for a law firm...different story.

    I wasn't referring to YOU specifically, you read that wrong.

    How would I know where you work? lol


    edit: Besides looking at your profile, which I obviously didn't.

    I R in the Army. The cross-section of the population that I deal with runs from highly intelligent to pond scum, and highly-motivated to apathetic. No old people, though.

    ha ha. Yes, EP is full of people that are full of themselves. I notice that everytime mommy drives up to Erik's in her 95K benz and buys junior (who is a total brat) $1200 worth of snowboard stuff that he won't take care of. :roll:

    Naw, there's some cool people that come in, but there are so many people that are full of themselves and their bratty kids it drives me nuts. 16y/old girls driving away in '07 Escalade's and crap like that, when they left me $2 on $60. From what I've heard, when you go to the high school parking lot, almost all the kids drive way nicer stuff than all the teachers. Tells me a lot about the parents, or the lack thereof.

    I like my Job. I get to blow **** up.

    The bad part, is that its 24/7 and I dont get a break. I am up at 420-500 am every morning, and share my room with two other guys. I walk almost everywhere I go, and hardly is it less than half a mile. I run 6 miles every other day whether I want to or not, and I work hard every second I'm on the clock.

    And etchy is right. The military is a crazy variety. Even when you find the people you want to surround yourself with, its hard not to turn them into family. The whole brotherhood works both sides of the fence, in that you argue like siblings do. Its unrelenting bickering sometimes, but regardless of if you hate the dude, they will be there the second it hits the fan.

    I'm a combat engineer in the Marine Corps.

    We spent 10 hours today prepping a job site for a 40x20 pad of concrete. We're guinea pigging some new type of quick setting concrete that has a fiber in it. Apparently its tensile strength is something like 30,000 psi in under a 15 minute cure time. Its a pretty big deal that I'm part of the group testing it out. We'll be using it in iraq and afghanistan a LOT if the product turns out to be as good as the company pitching it to us says it is. The insurgents have found that mortaring/rocketing runways is more effective than trying to hit individuals. Our current method of repairs is time-consuming, and doesnt wield the same level of final product as this will.

    After we get the pad laid, We're going to test it out by driving our MRAP on it. If it holds up to that, we're just going to blow it up. Hopefully it can handle a few cratering charges. Should be a good time.
