? really.

2 day test. Theory and practical. No 15 hour supervised testing. Someone is running a scam

Way back when I did my forklift licence it was a 1-day course with a 2-hr open book exam and 30 minute exercise. Even the guy that failed (his load fell off trying to reach the high pallet) passed. That would have been late 90s.

 

[The Dice Man]

Accidentally drove into a ghetto city today in a hire car in the D.R. Saw a teenager wearing denim shorts but the back of his shorts were dropped bellow his ass cheeks exposing bright orange underwear.. I was thinking it’s a while since I’ve seen that terrible fashion and then I come in here tonight and see it’s still happening.

Side note.. we got a little lost in ghettotown and went through the same intersection 3 times.. same dude washed our windshield 3 times within 10 minutes.. 50 pesos each time. He’s sitting back tonight thinking suckers I’m sure.

The "divide" in the main staffroom. Is seriously like that ep of Friends when Joey works at the museum. But in this case the divide between regular staff v ETs.

Is bizzare.

raskolnikov do you notice this phenomenon at all where you work?

At my work the office people never come into the production guys lunch room even though is a joint area.

They all just eat at their desks and dont mingle

Maybe it's because ET wants to go home

 

[raskolnikov]

raskolnikov do you notice this phenomenon at all where you work?

Not at my current school. My staffroom is always very welcoming to CRTs. Plus most of ours are regulars. When I used to do CRT work in Melbourne I used to hate going into the staffroom. Felt like I was a leper.

Oi we're not not welcoming. I cant help it if they dont *en sit at the tables..

I used to sit at the tables and not one person would talk to me or ask me how my day was going. If I tried to initiate a conversation the person would grunt at me and make me feel that they really didn't want to converse. Not saying your staffroom is like that but just what I experienced.

I like the ETs (some more than others) dw about that. When they come down to my office area for a class, i always ask if they need anything

Am assuming a day in the life of your life is exactly like The Office then?

Which character are you...?
