Angry When people dont take care of things.....

I found 7 78s (records) today (All "18 TOP HITS") -- All of them were garbage (Bumps in them,noisy,etc (Not very playable)) -- I really hate people who dont take care of this beautiful analog stuff and then bring it to salvation army in shit condition.....

I was all exicted that i found that many "18 top hits" 78s @ once only to find they were all crap..... I THREW THEM OUT,I WONT DO THE SAME THING TO OTHERS!!

Im listening to the ones I got 2 years ago that thankfully are in excellent condition......

People suck!!

Ugh. Summer schedules can eat a dick.

I am currently spending 3 hours a day driving kids to and from activities, plus another 2 hours sitting and waiting in the car for them to be done with said activities. I have pickups/drop offs at 8:00, 9:00, 11:00, 12:00, 1:00, and 5:00. It's my own damn fault for wanting them enriched.

I always kept a mini (dollar store) dustpan and brush and a pack of cleaning wetwipes in the car and used the time cleaning it up a bit. But I just can't imagine your car being the hellhole mine was -they had to eat/snack hurredly in there several times a day.... Also reading.

Yes, just mildly irritated... Compared to colleagues who got that promotion at age 34 and I'll have to wait until I'm 48. And of course our pension is now calculated based on the earned money over the career.

Well that sucks. Because there are too many ahead of you who are not likely to make a vacancy/retire, or did you piss somebody off?

They promote based on age?

One typically has to have a certain amount of time in service (TIS) and time in grade (TIG) to be eligible for consideration for promotion to the next higher rank. That translates into a certain age for each person, depending on at what age they entered the military, how fast they received their previous promotions, and if they had any breaks in service. The TIS-TIG requirements change with the military's need for people at a given rank.

The USA, with its large military, accommodates secondary and primary zones of consideration. Those promoted in the primary zone have met the full TIS-TIG requirements. Those promoted in the secondary zone have not; but, they received waivers (sometimes a little as half the TIS requirement) for exceptional performance. Only a small percentage of the total number of promotions authorized for a fiscal year are allotted to the secondary zone.

official graduation/diploma ceremony photo(s) of Hector are shite There's only 1, with the principal, no individuals and there's a great white blob on his head. There was a power cut, but still....
