Wont be able to make it , on a really tight timeline with partners house in Ripon-we will still be forming for back porch and starting his cabinets. Will of course keep you posted if anything changes...

 

No worries, I am sure we will have more than enough help here, especially if Scott brings Lil Bubbles.

YO!
good morning guys. i apologize i've fallen off the face of the earth again. i'm still here and kicking. been really busy lately. got that advancement at work (i will get the rank and paycheck in either may or june) and by advancement i mean, they've given me more responsibility!!
all is well here in oakland. hope to have some free time one of these days to check back in and see what i've missed on here.

cheers guys,
blaize

 

Is that normal to get more responsibility 3 months before you get the extra pay and rank of that responsibility? Doesn't seem right to me, but then I am not the smartest turnip on the truck.

Go Seahawks,,there I said it

 

it may sound strange Jim but its the truth. i was placed on 2nd shift (nights) way back in july of last year. this was in anticipation i was going to get this advancement. the responsibility started then and it hasn't stopped. nothing like an employer getting more work/responsibility out of you for the same pay.
the pay is finally catching up though. like i said yesterday, i'll see the increase in may or june. what a process too… learning how to be a leader. i joke, but really sometimes it feels like i'm herding cats.
as for the Super Bowl, i'd like to see tom brady get a win. neither team is one i would cheer for. i'm just picking one.
i'm waiting for the browns to return to the big game!

cheers guys.

 

Scratches head...And I was so sure the Raiders would have been there this year....LOL

My sister had a similar experience with a temp company called Apple One. Started as a temp like everyone else, but got invited to work for them in their office, worked her way up the line eventually doing the work of 3 people, but without the extra pay. So, she left them to work with the Marriott Hotel chain, and now she is some kind of big wig who travels all over the country training their management people. We are not very close, but last I heard she was doing very well.

I never thought I'd say it cause I aint much of a "coastal yardbirds" fan. But when faced with a choice between Ol' Softballs and Sea Chickens, I'll take the Yardbirds, this year only. I think mainly because I am SOOOO tired of hearing about Brady's *****. Sheesh, enough already. He freaking cheated, OK? Throw tomatoes at his legacy and get back to playing football already.

What would you give them for numbers on over/under and point spread, Hank? I think I'll be heading to the casino sportsbook for a quick bet on the game. When my team isn't showing up, I have to have something to get energized by. Money works... That and hotwings.

 

And I thought we were friends...

 

Any team that kicks the niners around is awesome.

 

For a prop bet I was going with Most pass attempts which is 2-1/2. figure both Qbs and toss in a trick play.and boom you have 3, take the overs. Swami hanklin sez.

I put 25 on Seattle before season started at 4-1, last year i did same at 5-1 and nailed 125
Good luck and post up which you decide

 

heading home today and i guess the first thing is go grab vittles for game. what are you guys throwing together?
The normal stuff like spinach dip and Buffalo Wild Wings come to mind.

 

I just put 20 on swami bet which pays back 32

 

Happy weekend before Super Bowl guyz and galz. Hope everyone has a great weekend, and may the best team win.

Hello Californians...starting to prepare for football? Great weekend.
