Where the snark is the snark?

Gsom. I know it probabky won't do much good, but write your 2 Senators and Representative AND MA's Senators a polite letter (without the walking details :D) asking "just how the /*/& one is supposed to do their job at the airport without tools?"

I'm also enough of a jackass that Logan would now be on my "nope, not gonna do any work there" list. If enough people would have the balls (people being business owners) to tell businesses at the airport "pack sand", when everything was broken at the airport, someone might get clue.
 
As someone who does security for the government, I might be able to provide insight to the whole situation. First, the guys doing the checking have very little leeway to make any sort of decision for themselves. The rules are set by people who have never done the job and the slightest violation is grounds for reprimand (which will affect their ability to get pay raises and promotions) and if the person has been a federal employee for less than one year they can be fired for almost nothing. So say mister TSO has been on the job for 11 1/2 months and he finds your contraband. He believes it was an honest mistake but if he doesn't follow protocol to the letter they could fire him without a second thought. Beyond that, if they store your items for you then they become liable for their safe keeping. Now I don't know why they don't give people the option of turning around and taking whatever back to their car or somewhere and leaving it outside the secured area, that is what we do at the facility I work at.

It's hard when an employee's actions are dictated by people who have never done the job, the frustration that results can be enormous.
 
Ordered a few new patches. Kinda like this one:

I won a $200 gift certificate at the company Christmas party. Looking at the menu, it'll take every bit lol.

The head chef is from Alabama and specializes in southern cuisine.
He beat Cat Catora on Iron Chef America with the highest score ever allotted!
I skipped lunch, I'm starving. Going with the Cajun strip med.well.

The BK17 will be gracing the table with its presence...

Yeah, its gonna happen...
Pics will come...
 
I also want to say that Guyon and NJbill are kinda dicks... dang dudes, I wasn't around for a bit and right away I'm the go-to photo-chop for a Thelma and Louis thang? That's COLD, boys. You could have at least chosen a picture where my hair was prettier, FFS. :mad:

But that spartan grille is one TOUGH SOB!! That plastic grille would of been in pieces like the rest of the front end.


First things first.... I wasnt at fault....No ticket for me LOL

Some young girl in a hurry caused a 3 truck accident. No real injuries. I have some rug burns up my arm and hand from the airbags but thats about it.


Im trying to stay positive about the whole thing but people suck. So glad i got gap insurance in case they total it.... Which right now they are unsure if they will until they pull off the hood and fender to see if there is any frame damage or if the engine was pushed into the firewall. If so its totaled. If not they may fix it.

I havent even made the first payment on it yet :rolleyes:
 
Damn WW, that freakin sucks man. Glad you're okay. :thumbup:
 
Sorry to see that happen WW, I know you put a lot into the new truck. Hope it comes out in your favor
 
Thanks guys; the blade's almost too pretty to use. Almost.

Geez WW, you sure know how to put a mark on your truck. Glad to hear you're no worse for wear.
