He said that I didn't have enough hatred in me. And I wasn't mad enough for the work.

I told him there was no job on earth that you needed to be angry to do.
Then I told him that you could do a better job not angry then you could when you were.

Guess what That did.
That made him incredibly angry. :smugjerry:

All this talk of women r bad has me thinking. I've always gotten along with women very well. I'm no Rockefeller but women always jive with me especially older women. I may be able to use this and my well sculpted frame (bowling pin shaped) to get ahead at work.

I'm sure they will have me doing all the heavy lifting and stuff and im sure some of them will hit on me. I have no room for extra women as im married and have it way to good to ever fuck up. I love my wife too. Lame ik

On a real note tho,  I cannot deal with much drama right now but can adapt over time I feel like.


If all this fails and I hate this job my out is a 100k+ a year job driving for walmart. Which is what I was doing before but for an outside carrier. I just have to get my hazmat and tanker endorsements at the dmv. I really dont wanna tho. Hoping this gets me out of it.

id prefer to work with women any day. lady bosses?? thats a hard one. but as far as employees go? the ladies are easier for me to manage. dudes suck. they require to much motivation. with women i just go 'oh gee how can i solve this problem?' and they all jump at the chance. dudes are all like 'not my job not my problem.' i fuckin hate that.

all anecdotal from my limited experiences in no way is what i am saying a fact or reality for other people.

ive worked a lot managing production systems where men just really didnt do well because their hands were too big for the work.  not to say there arent exceptions, but most men cant paint their own nails without making a mess, and thats an entirely fair assessment of relative tactility.

I have huge hands myself but i can actually still train people to do these jobs. "now, you can probably actually do this more efficiently than i can but what we're gonna do is"..

its wild how much production just cant be done by men, or at least adult men.  thats our world.  My gf also works in manufacturing where mostly women do very fine things that most men would fumble. 

Its really difficult work and often pays well, so i was considered "sexist" for never considering male applicants but I just couldn't be accountable for the lack of production that would have been had i hired men.

subsequently, ive worked with a lot of women and ill also say this for workikg with women: way less drama. way less bullshit. far far fewer excuses. generally speaking, and considering the kinds of men in our culture, women are grittier and more consistent to work with.  the data is easily discernable in that women more regularly show up, do the job, not complain, talk less, and produce not only more products, but ultimately better products.  Men are just stronger, generally but not always.

this post was about women in production.

For me, it's all about the specific types of work and the specific environment. Nobody has a monopoly on being a moody gossipy passive-aggressive bitch. Or just someone who's got zero empathy or social skills.

I think super-gendered roles are dying off in most industries, and I think that's a good thing. I remember some truly idiotic shit from back in the 90's. I worked on a landscaping crew very briefly, first couple days were chill when I was working one-on-one with another guy. One guy I worked with talked about his forestry background, and another grew up in the same place I did so we had that to talk about. My supervisor was pretty quiet for the most part. Then Spring got into full swing, and we started doing bigger jobs with lots of guys on site. Things quickly devolved into talking about porn, strippers, and Hooters, interspersed of course with racism and stories about picking bar fights with gay dudes. And all of a sudden the supervisor revealed himself to be a racist dumbass, not the strong silent type. My ability to be offended wore off very quickly, and instead I was just so annoyed with this pack of ignorant man-children that I just wanted to bash their skulls in. Then there was doing temp work as a helper at the shop where my dad worked. The owner's nephew, dumb-ass nepo baby, would walk past me and say shit like "be careful, you might start growin' tits har har." The women who worked regularly as helpers were a whole different breed. I remember my dad talking about falling asleep on his motorcycle and wrecking (on his way to work at 4 AM, broke his femur in 7 places). Old biker lady helper just chimed in "Yeah, that's why you gotta have them black beauties."

And academia. Fuck me. At least now I know where all those annoying know-it-alls from elementary school ended up. I will admit, though, I did have more than my fill of dealing with spectrum-y career driven women in their third trimester. But I'm still gonna say that the male climate-change-denying born-again Christians and pedophiles who somehow managed to get jobs as professors in the sciences were 1000 times worse. And don't get me started on the male professors who would hit on anything with a pulse, anytime, anyplace.

Anyway, the whole gendered divide between doctors and nurses is definitely falling apart. I think the new one might just be South Asians as doctors and everyone else in nursing. I kid, I kid....

Ok, confession time. Going to the hospital always sucks, but the one silver lining for me is the women working as nurses. I don't know why, but I find the combination of someone taking care of me, the scrubs, and only being able to see their eyes as a huge turn-on. Plus, regardless of gender, ER doctors usually turn out to be arrogant assholes. So I always end up feeling like the nurses are the only ones who have my back.

So I asked my gf about working with women vs men, here are her thoughts (paraphrased):

In 20 yrs of working in mortgage, there's pretty much always just 1 man at any office, usually management. And there's always 1 catty, gossipy woman at each place, which usually causes problems for everyone else.

But I can say that it sounds like there is a pack of women at her current job that get together to talk smack about the gossipy one.

My experience with working with women has always been where its men and women both. Probably less women than men, which seemed to be more drama than working with just men. I'd like to see what it would be like to work with mostly women and a few men - maybe that would be different.

They just want you to think they like you so they can sacrifice you and drink your blood.

Confession - Just confirmed that outside this actual thread, the whole site is a social media-like shitshow. Fuck me for trying to help someone improve their mushroom tea stylee, not sure how I could have been a bigger asshole.

Did you make the tea in your asshole?
:lolsy:

You can offer people help. It's up to them whether they accept it.

I confess I still haven't figured out a really good system for having my scalpel cool off after being sanitized.

I want to just stick it to a magnet but there's nowhere in front of the filter fan that I can stick it to where it won't be in a compromising position.
I think I'm just gonna get like one of those little wire pieces that you like put your toothbrushes in. I could have that sitting off to the back and not have it get in the way of everything but if that piece of metal falls over with a red hot scalpel on it I'm gonna have a problem.

Because it isn't titanium it's steel. The heat travels down the handle and after it's sanitized I don't want to risk having it heat up and hurt my hand while I'm trying to use it.

I think my issue is that I don't have multiple scalpel's ready to go that way I can just throw onto the side and move onto the next one.
Let one cook while I'm working with the other two.

I guess the ultimate solution would be to get one of those magnet bars like people have in their kitchen for their knives. Just glue that to the wall and throw the scalpel onto it to let it cool.
