Okay. . . I see the efforts of this nations transportation experts was not limited to the likes of Chicago, Illinois or 96th street and I-69 in Indianapolis.

These crack munchers did one outstanding job around Cincy! Sweet Baby Jeebus hanging on the cross! It took me an HOUR to go 17.5 miles around 275, to 71 to exit 59 last night, this morning, and again this evening!  :rant:  Move three feet stop for 4 minutes. Repeat until you are doing the piss dance and about to burst!

I wanted to hurt somebody all three times, and I was not alone. It was so bad the next two days of training have been moved to a conference center at the hotel we are staying in!  :biggrin:
See, a woman has a real concern in a traffic situation like you had to endure. All the guy has to do is stick it out the window ,and yell, "Heads Up"!!!! Women can't do that.  :punk:

I have been fortunate enough to work with a group of people who were drama free.  This year we added three new people to our group!  So not drama free anymore.  I've had enough of that bullshit!  If you are going to cry, close you classroom door and cry!  Just don't let me see it because I'll call you out!  If you are going to argue, same goes for that!  I hate drama!  :mad:

I WANT TO THROTTLE MY BOSS!!!!  :rant: :rant: :rant: This morning my boss bitched at me as soon as I got to work. Right now, I have a lot going on here at home. As everybody knows my Hubby is very sick. Mondays are the only days, that we can get appointments for tests, and doctor visits ,because I have to go with him. I'm usually off on Mondays, and he works Monday nights. I'm being forced to work on Monday Oct. 27. Infact, I have to open everyday that week. It's a crock of shit because, I usually work 4 days a week. I normally open 2 of those days every week. One of our crew members quit, and one of our shift managers is going on vacation. So, I'm being absolutely forced to do everything, by myself to open the store 5 days in a row. I had a fit when my boss told me. She tried to make it 'look' like she was 'asking' me. No, she gave me no choice whatsoever, she was forcing me. I get soooooo sick of that crap I could scream!!!!  :rant: :rant:  The last place I want to be in the world right now is at MY JOB!!! I've got too much going on, and I'm having trouble with my back. I want to hit her sooooo hard her whole family will feel it!!!!   :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted:    <end rant>  :biggrin:

Today our AM came to work with her face all black and blue. And, she had a black eye. She had taken some time off work, and that must have been why.  :no: Her boyfriend did it to her. OK.... here's my rant  :rant:

Why in the hell do women let men beat on them? Every boyfriend she has had has physically abused her. She dates outside of her race, and I think that is the major reason why this happens to her. She is a very nice gal, and very pretty. She can do a lot better but, she always goes for creeps that treat her bad. I just don't get it.  :mad:

A "war story" for those who are interested:

At one point in my life, I was a police officer. Was called to a residence (by neighbors) because of noise that sounded like a domestic disturbance. When I arrived, I could see through the windows of the enclosed porch into the living room that there was, indeed, a full-bore fight going on between what I found out later was a married couple.

Since the woman was bleeding severely from the nose, mouth, and ears, I kicked in the locked door (stupidly without waiting for backup -- one-officer cars). The woman stumbled toward me. I caught her. Just at that time, the guy was reaching through the doorway to the bedroom behind him. As I was holding his wife, he brought out a shotgun, swung it around, and simultaneously pulled the trigger.

He didn't get it around far enough to hit anybody, thankfully, but the noise stopped everything -- we all just froze. He dropped the shotgun, and I let go of the wife, grabbed him, turned him around, and handcuffed him.

That's when the wife, bleeding like a stuck pig, whacked me in the back of the neck and the shoulder with an ashtray. She didn't like the fact that I had handcuffed her husband.

I arrested her, too, of course.

For several years now, I have pondered the mindsets of the people in that little scenario.

The only conclusion I am certain of, is that I was a young, stupid police officer who almost bit it on a very cold, very early morning because I didn't follow procedure.

I will leave it to the rest of you to sort out the emotional details. I put it to bed some time ago, with no resolution.

Just grist for the mill.

I would have chit my pants.  :spooked: Not sure about the mindset of our AM. I guess she thinks she deserves it?  :no:  It's crazy but, she came from a well rounded family. She's taken college courses, and seems very intelligent. Her sister goes for the bad guys too. Infact, her sister's boyfriends are worse. Most of them have criminal records.  :spooked:
