New high for the DUmp.
« on: November 28, 2013, 05:53:31 PM »
Every year, we see multiple threads started by DUmmies that piss-n-moan about Thanksgiving.
I found a nice exception to the rule, and wish to congratulate a few primitives for being somewhat civil.

On my way to work this morning ... Here's a  :cheersmate: for you.
   
I ended up having to work today, I could have said no, but here I is.

We had a job roll in last Saturday and we started working on the components bright and early Sunday morning with the expectation that if we busted ass we could get it knocked out by Wednesday and have nice 4 day weekend. By the end of day Monday we simply knew that was not going to be the case as unexpected damage was discovered on inspection, that lead to alot of machine work, some build up, and even more machine work. The job is as hot as they can get and any and all costs have been approved.

We got together as a group and laid out the plans the best we could and it was just the right decision for some of us to work on Thanksgiving.

I certainly awoke in a foul mood, had a hard time getting out of bed, and evidently drank all of my milk and did not throw the carton away. Damn, no milk too? So I hoped in my car around 6 and hi ho hi ho it's off to work I go. The streets were empty and I didn't catch a single light on my drive down 1960, pretty much alone. 30 degrees and kinda hazy, uhhhh ...

Somewhere along the drive the sun started to come up and I just happen to see one of the prettiest sunrises I have seen in many years, I stopped in at the dougnut shop and grabbed a dozen for me and my co-workers and was met with smiles and Holiday greetings. I opened up the building and turned the lights on as my fellow unfortunates staggered in ... each with something to bring; some breakfast tacos, cake, juice, a pie, and all with Holiday greeting.

We rolled up the back door and laid our bounty on the picnic table behind the building and watched the sun come up over a great breakfast and then the reality set in.

"Let's get in here and knock this shit out so we can get the hell outta here"

Overall, a great start to one of my favorite Holidays. I look forward to dinner with my family later today, but right this minute I am thankful to have a great group of people to work with and a beautiful sunrise.

Happy Thanksgiving all. 
Cool, hope your day went well.  Enjoy the time with the family when you get home.

A dummy with a job?  Working overtime? Really?  Wow. I think that is a first.

See, DUmmies?  It's 1 percent what happens to you, and 99 percent how you react to it.

Well that was a nice story.  See, DUmmies, not everything, 24/7  has to be bitching and moaning and complaining and ranting and raving about shit you can't do anything about anyway.  Like the existence of corporations.  And the conservatives who are slowly surrounding you...

Every Proglodyte complains that an employer should treat them like family. They want to be coddled, sympathized with, treated with a generously open hand, etc.

NOTE: That is a far cry from the shabby treatment they give their own families with their constant complaints, blaming and disrespect for individuals.

What the OP is saying is he treated his co-workers as family; i.e. making the most of the time spent with them even though the task at hand may not have been the first choice of activities.

Everything a Proglodyte seeks is for others to approach them in supplication and deference before they deign to take notice of others. You must go to them on their terms before they will bother to look at you favorably (don't even try and pretend you're their equal. They're so much smarter than you they even know when you aren't voting in your own best interest).

Maybe you lurking ****tards would be happier if you would at least TRY to act happy, as if you enjoy the people you are with in the moment you are with them. If you find everything and everyone so tedious there is a place you can go to escape all of it.

In popular literature it's called Hell.
