In just what altered state of reality does the following make sense?

Two employees, male and female on an off shift, walk outside of the facility every day for lunch. The company they work for has just completed a security review and among the very first action items completed was a complete revamping of the inside and outside security cameras. Including an expanded ability to store footage fro all cameras locally on a dedicated and secure server. (No, there are no potty cams).

Their supervisor mentions to a certain mid-level manager that she smells weed on them every day when they come back.

The company makes the fact that all of those cameras are now functional a very public fact by posting signs everywhere.

So then the happy couple decides it is better to just go ahead and smoke weed inside the plant, in the head and out of view of the cameras.

The supervisor goes into the head last night right after break, and reports to the Plant Manager today that when she went in it was as if it were a hookah den, with dense weed smoke everywhere. And they exited the bathroom as she was going in.

The Plant Manager calls the woman in to his office this afternoon when she arrived. He closes the door and then informs her, with HR present, that as a full time employee she was subject to drug testing anytime management had reasonable suspicion that she may be using or under the influence of illegal drugs, and that having said reasonable suspicion she was going to be escorted to a facility to have said drug test administered.

She manned up, admitted to the drug use along with the male, and was separated from her employment with a thanks for admitting her poor decision. She left without incident.

The Plant Manager then called the male, a contingency worker, into his office and informed him of the same facts. He says yeah, I'll take the drug test. I know I will pass it. Then he proceeds to ask what happens when he passes it? "Do I get a full time job offer then, cause you know I am the best at (his position)."

What the hell!  :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:  (He failed).  :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I have a healthy respect for lightning but I'm not terrified by it.

  About two weeks ago lightning hit the neighbors tree which is about 20 feet from our house.  The tree had a slice of bark knock out of it from the top to the roots and left a hole about 2 feet deep in the ground.  I was in the living room about 4o feet from the tree and I raised straight out of my chair.  :eek: :eek: :eek:  The lightning bolt took out our telephone which had to be replaced.  It also took out our Direct TV wires in the attic, all of the receivers, my DVR and blew out two circuit  breakers.  I have never been that close to a lightning bolt.   :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :spooked: :spooked:

Well, I have. Years ago, not long after moving to Northern VA from WV, I stopped at the grocery store, and on the way home it started raining with some lightening and thunder. I got out of my car, went to the passenger side, had my hand on the door handle when I felt tingling (for lack of a better term) for the full length of my arm. I don't know how long I stood there, probably dazed, didn't tell my son or husband.

I'm not afraid of thunderstorms, except for sometimes worrying that a tree might be hit and fall on my house. Otherwise, I enjoy them.

Today it was car vs semi. . .  :rolleyes: :mad:

I purposely stay far behind aggressive 4 wheelers as they weave around through traffic and cut off semis.  It can be exciting, as it was today on my way home. Fucking idiot cut right in front of a semi to his left, and was greeted by the passenger side front wheel of the truck. I watched in glee as the car was kicked to the shoulder, the entire driver side crumpled and bearing rubber marks, and the semi pulled over in front. Cars behind them were locking up the brake and the rubber smoke was thick and putrid.

The idiot had whizzed by me on the right, went to the right of the semi in the lane to the right of mine, then tried to cut back in front of him in order to get in front of the car in front of me; who was a left lane cruiser at 5 mph under the posted limit. (AND a blue hair in a Buick too. He white knuckled his ass over to the right after we got through the danger).

Best part of it all was I whizzed right on by after dodging some miscellaneous chrome pieces and glass. . . and avoiding the all but certain traffic snarling that resulted from this idiots stupidity.  :big grin:

I saved 30 minutes on my commute just by watching an idiot scare the shit out of a blue hair today!  :icon_twisted:
