Random Thought Thread

chaps, by their very nature, are assless.

Speaking of which- sales rep swings by yesterday. This chap tells my boss 'I was just in the neighbourhood, thought I'd swing by and see how are things'.
After 20-30 minutes of small, unproductive talk, he casually mentions he had to go into the city and reclaim a bunch of bikes from a shop whose account he's closing because they can't pay the bill. He then asks if we'd like to buy the bikes- really good deal! He says. (Wait, I thought you were here for a random visit...)
Bryce asks what kind of good deal, rep says 10% off! What kind of bikes? Oh, the kind of bikes you have been telling me for ten minutes that no one is buying.
No thanks, we say, and sales rep drives off into the sunset with a van full of bikes.
Bryce wanders over to me and nonchalantly says; "I think I'm gonna drop that brand"

Sales rep is the Ford of sales reps 🤣

Random thought.....

I've been in a pretty awesome mood since yesterday

Our supply guy who also used to be a painter (actually worked with the painter who taught me everything I know when younger and has known me since i started)

Walked up to me yesterday and said "you're great at what you do".... he never gives compliments... to anyone ever...

I immediately said " am I dying are you fing with me "

He said "no honestly of all the shops I go to none of them match what you are able to do with your quality and volume"

This made my year!

Pretty cool when some one you respect gives you an honest compliment

How are all of you North Carolinians and/or East Coast people holding up today? I hear Helene is wreaking havoc from Florida through the original colonies.

I think we may be without power for days here in SC. Large tree snapped a power pole and is blocking my driveway with lines mixed in.

I’m giving em 24 hrs, then saying some prayers and getting to work with a chainsaw. (Maybe 😅)

My mom had a tree hit her house at 6 am. Didn’t go thru the roof thankfully. This storm was pretty nasty.

Most blocks are done by broad categories by a single click. Few IT people have the time to snoop through all the crap that people view online.

For a lot of companies, it's even outsourced, too, and I doubt the company itself puts much thought into which categories they're blocking, they just tell the contractor to do the usual.
