re: Do you legitimately enjoy your job?

The actual work in my job isn’t bad. Old telephone man. Sometimes a rough house or something, but most of my work-related stress comes from overzealous management. ...

re: Do y'all remember the Plymouth Prowler?

Posted by FCP on 4/30/24 at 1:15 pm
Damn, I had forgotten about those things. Probably similar vintage, a buddy of mine had the little hot rod Chevy truck. Kinda of a hybrid truck/car. Apparently way overpowered and would burn rubber on a regular takeoff. ...
Had Starlink for a couple of years before Charter finally got fiber to us. It was an okay solution. It had some latency issues and we would get regular slowdowns due to traffic. Gaming sucked (according to my teenage kids), but it handled WFH reasonably well. That said, when I got the fiber, it was ...

re: iPhone 12 vs iPhone 13

Posted by FCP on 4/29/24 at 8:27 pm
I recently jumped from 13 to 14. The biggest screen Pro Max or whatever in both. Both phones ended up getting repaired because of cracked screens. The iPhone 13 shattered its back glass, and the 14 is on its second set of camera lenses. Maybe just dumb luck, but I've never had a major problem with t...

re: Just got IRS letter

Posted by FCP on 4/29/24 at 8:11 pm
Nowhere near your league. I've been filing extensions since the 2020 tax year. Had crap going on in real life and didn't feel like cutting into my TD shitposting time. Finally got it cleaned up a couple of months ago. Paid for some years, got a credit for others. Whatever. A month after everything w...

re: Was Not Expecting to See This In Ohio

Our Dollar General (trashy) regularly has souped up golf carts and the occasional ATV in its parking lot. OTOH, we’re in Louisiana (double trashy) and deep Livingston Parish (trashy trifecta). ...
[quote]hwy 63 corridor was what made the most sense [/quote]It would pretty much be a bridge over the Amite then existing roadway all the way back to I-12. Actually live along that route, but they are welcome to my backyard. I’ll sell out and move to Mississippi if they ever got close to actually bu...

[quote]Nice to see so many on the OT are debt free instead of paying interest on mortgages, auto loans, schools (self and kids).[/quote]All paid off. Knocked out the last little bit of student loan debt earlier this year. Everything else, including our home, is free and clear. So, yeah, I’ll splurge...

re: Summer Plans?

Cancun and surrounding for 9 days. Maybe a late summer trip to Houston. Otherwise, my 2024 vacation plans are to sleep in my own goddamn bed every night....

Had a friend who got divorced and moved kid from Livingston Parish public schools to Hammond’s finest. Ended up sharing a house out there with the ex while she dated someone else but whatever. Anyway, kid started as an academically-excellent female attending Hammond schools before deciding she was a...

re: Do you have an inner monologue?

Posted by FCP on 4/22/24 at 12:25 pm
[quote]I have an inner playlist. Around 10-15 songs that are triggered at random times.[/quote]Same, but mine is probably 200+ songs that are widely disparate. Gospel, country, rock, and even rap. Kids wondering why I’ve got to play Quiot Riot in the middle of the day. ...

re: Will the tattoo fad fade out?

Posted by FCP on 4/21/24 at 2:21 pm
[quote]Every fad fades out, then comes back, fades out again etc…[/quote]Just happened to notice a mid 20s chick at church this AM who was wearing a decent set of bell bottoms. Not the early 90s obscene ones, but still a definite bell shaped pants leg, with the cuff completely covering her shoes. ...

re: Seat is down on a public bathroom toilet

Posted by FCP on 4/18/24 at 6:05 pm
As a true alpha and/or germophobe, the only acceptable solution is boot to lift lid, then boot to flush. Or, just piss in a bush outside the way God intended. ...
[quote]Where with the scheduled riots be this summer?[/quote]Work for a Fortune 100, and they had a cryptic email blast earlier this week telling us to be on the lookout for demonstrations. It was addressed to the entire company (nationwide), but it included zero details re WTF would be the reason....

[quote]Headlight bulb replacement can be a pain in the arse.[/quote]True. Got a Honda minivan where one side has easy access, but the other side requires pulling off the belt and reaching up from the bottom (with the van on a lift or ramps). And, it’s still tight. Had my Tundra’s radio antenna sn...

re: What is today’s most difficult job?

Posted by FCP on 4/17/24 at 2:31 pm
Working with a dude who worked at an iron foundry for about a year. Says he worked the overnight shift, and it was miserable. He came out of the Marines, so I’m inclined to believe him. Mortality-wise, I think it’s still firemen in the lead, although the politics of police work have got to suck—n...
I mean it’s kinda like the old Mogadishu vs Jackson, MS argument. Neither one is particularly good. That said, there are probably fewer shootings along Bluebonnet, so I’d go there vs Siegen if those are your only options. ...
Thankful daily that Mrs. FCP basically sat on me until I proposed. Knew instinctively she was/is “The One,” but left to my own devices, I would have avoided marriage for another decade. We will celebrate 25 years soon—together over half our respective lives at this point. Best decision of my lifetim...
