I will. I'll see if I can get a photo for you, but no promises on when.
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Walmart really seems to love pushing my buttons and pushing me to the brink.  And they (mgmt) wonder why I don't give a flying shit about them.  Today for example, I was talking to one of my friends, a week or so ago, she asked me for help reaching for something a customer wanted/needed in the infants section.  Of course, I helped since I am tall with long arms.  This shit ass manager was walking by at the time and after I left, she asked my friend, "Wow, how did you get him to help you?"   WTF, this manager who has the personality of a drowned slug in a beer can, has never asked me for help at all.  And she has the nerve to say that!  I have asked this slug for help in the past, with my equipment, and all she could say was a limp, "I dunno".   :wanker:
I'm going to stop here, since I am trying to calm my brain for sleep and it was a very trying and frustrating night.

That sounds really frustrating rock hound. Job dissatisfaction is really tough because we spend a good chunk of our lives at work.

It sounds like you are carrying on doing the right thing, continuing to be professional, et cetera. Have you considered looking for a new job or position? (please forgive me if you mentioned this elsewhere already)
Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.

No worries, I have mentioned it before and I am considering my options.  But, I have achieved a mental/emotional state of equilibrium.  For the simple line is, I just don't care anymore.  I'm not a robot, nor am I a slave.  I'll just keep doing what I am doing and in they don't like it, they can go fuck themselves.  I don't say that, but, my silence and keeping my head up will speak more volumes than words.  My sarcastic attitude will do the job.

Sorry to hear about it mate.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

But I don't want to put an aluminum anti slip strip on the stair nosing. It will look ugly :zombiefuck:
Fuck Australian building standards requiring them. I see all these good pics of vinyl planks installed on stairs but they're all from America :finger:

Carpet on the stairs it is then.

According to the family CFO, Carla!  I can start collecting social security at 67.  I turn 64 this year.  And I only work 24 hours a week now.  So it's endurable with my "I don't give a fuck attitude."  I take pride in my work ethic and the job I do.  If I do not meet the walmart unrealistic productivity goals, aka, "galley slave" ideal.  They can fire me or move me to a different part of the store.  Which they do not want to do, since A) I always show up on time, B) They have enough problems hiring workers due to the decent economy and the worker shortage in NH.  C) I work steady, just not fast enough to satisfy some office geek with no realistic comprehension of the work situation.

This Meme from the "Tiny Buddha"  FB site, sums up my feelings about certain things in certain places over the last few days.

And I am taking that to heart.

I'm aiming for a mid beige/dark sandy colour.
