Ginger_Warrior Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Moreover, how do you find it 'relieving'? As in... it's a decision you didn't want to make and now you're glad it's finally done or did you actually enjoy it? Because every person I've ever met who works as a line manager hates pretty much every aspect of firing an employee. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riku3220 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I just experienced a random feeling of dread.

RpgGamer Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Carnival week is a tough week to try to quit smoking again... Also today, I fired 7 of my co-workers. Felt...relieving. How do you fire a co-worker? Moreover, how do you find it 'relieving'? As in... it's a decision you didn't want to make and now you're glad it's finally done or did you actually enjoy it? Because every person I've ever met who works as a line manager hates pretty much every aspect of firing an employee. I fired a co-worker because even though I'm a shift manager, I'm also rather low on the totem pole so to speak. So while my responsibilities and pay are greater than my employees, I don't necessarily out rank them. But I can fire them. It felt relieving because these kids were awful at their job and truly should have been fired ages ago. Work will be done at an efficiency rate like never before [i hope]. I'm not really a fan of firing people, especially since I was friends with all 7 of them, but I care deeply about my job, and they stood in the way of getting things done. It's for the betterment of my company and their own lives that the two concepts be separated. They'll be better off, and my corporation will be better off too.

sarg1010 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 My hands are slim and soft, which makes them prone to cuts/temperature. So if I ever have to do any work that doesn't require a delicate touch, I have to wear gloves, otherwise I take forever to complete. All of this conflicts with the fact that I love to work with my hands. Unfinished netherrack symbol of Khorne. Never forget. ~creeper face w/single tear~ DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO?!?!

Randox Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 My dad has some sort of soap (I think it's this one. Has a great big bottle of it). That grease that would resist any normal soap (or dish soap) comes right off your hands with that stuff in seconds. And it makes your hands smell like oranges. If only all soap was so good at cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepole Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 ^ I have a bottle of that soap. It truly is great at removing grease from your hands. You can find it at almost every hardware/auto part store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too have a bottle of that stuff. Everyone that works on their own car should have some. You don't even have to rinse it off with water if you don't have to since it isn't greasy like normal soap. The fact that the soap is gritty makes it work so well. It gets down into the contours of your skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randox Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 My dad also has a few rolls of some super grade paper towl (its blue). It's more or less a roll of rags so that you don't need to wash the things (or deal with super filthy rags). Also good stuff to have around for auto work since paper towel doesn't always cut it. And yeah, the grit helps too, and the fact that you wipe it off rather than rinse is nice. Still working on the wheelbarrow for some reason. Really need to get the damn thing painted so I can start putting it back together and work on the other one, which will probably be more work (it looks like it has more bolts that have fused with their nuts, and more bolts with screwdriver heads that will give way before the nut starts to move no matter how much penetrating oil you use). And I figured out how to pair my phone to my moms Mini, which is nice because I rarely remember to take my phone out of my pocket and its damn near immpossible to do that once your driving, at least if I'm wearing jeans (I'm not sure why we collectively decided on a pocket design/style that clamps totally shut the second you sit down, but we did, and now we all have to deal with it).

Range_This11 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Just about four weeks. We were in Provence, never went north at all. We studied public monuments as well as Roman-influenced architecture. Did a few a tours of wine country as well. Vin vin vin vin vin :shades: "He could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder."
