Three feet is a curse.

Scott, it really did come together nicely.

I'd have just left a burning bag of poo on your front porch and rang the doorbell.

He did it after returning from lunch. After firing him, he gave me a sob story of he can barely afford gas and really needs his job. He should have thought about that before he spent $4.19 + $10.00 worth of rubber in my parking lot

You FIRED him for a donut in the parking lot? REALLY? What's got your panties in a wad? I bet you'd run out of fingers before you could count all the times you've done the same thing! YOU, are a sharp pointy instrument of pain!

This was his 3rd warning for the year. Heck of a worker just very disrespectful.

Cincy, looks like he had his own staging area for awhile where the burnout started.

If anyone did that here, it would not go over well with all the surveilence.

MAN! You guys are wound up tighter than a Rolex replica with a cheap Chinese spring! It's a little rubber for goodness sake, just let it go. Save your hostility for when he comes back and goes postal!

Nah, Scott, I see their side of the story. It's a lot different when you're corporate.

Meanwhile, I'd show up there on the weekend and lay down some SERIOUS rubber.

Afternoon, all. Got off early, beat. Had a 'warrior day' (read: gay), started with a half mile run in boots and utes to the station flag pole for morning colors, then ran to a big PT field and had Marine like events.

One of my SSgt's fell out of the run. I almost killed him, I'm going to make him strong starting next week. I sent him home for the rest of the day... said I didn't want to see his face around here. Oh, I was mad.

I did enjoy myself a little, there was carne asada for lunch.

Ok. Chillin.
