Our owner does the same. Ain't nobody gonna tell him shite either

two things I saw in the workplace
1. one guy wants coffee stronger so he opens 1 and half coffee pouches and places in coffee maker- the other half of grounds wasted
2. coffee was made in push top caraffes- one guy just takes a whole caraffe to his office
and a bonus- new guy comes in tells coffee vendor guy to change from the roast everyone agreed on for years- to the roast he likes-- without consulting anyone--
#1 is fired for wasting company resources. I've seen #2, but he also worked in a detached building from where the coffee pot is located. It was understandable. He would make his own pot, pour it in the caraffe, bring it to his office, and keep it clean every day. #3 is fired right away.

They obviously haven't walked around Tigerland or any public area in BR lately. The smell of green is everywhere.

LSU and MSU are getting their own cadets. Outstanding! Good for them.
Maybe we can have an SEC Championship for Fish Drill Team. I'll rent a box and stock it with hot tea for the tu grads.
LSU already has cadets. Great, add another dumb championship next to your meat judging trophies
FYI Until the 1960's, ROTC was mandatory for all male students. LSU was in the top 5, along with A&M and the military academies, for schools that produced commisioned officers in WWII. We have a long military history, it just became less in the forefront over the past 50 years. I'm glad LSU is getting recognized for it's military contributions and I hope this means more investment into the ROTC program.

I use that every time there are new proposed Amendments. They do a really good job of explaining the pros & cons of each amendment.

I will never say I understand the way these kind of contracts work.
It's way easier and faster to build a project in a green field closed off to the public with no demolition or relocation of existing utilities and infrastructure. When you gotta hopscotch around, keep the utilities and traffic lanes operational, selectively demo and replace little chunks here and there at a time, it's slow and expensive work. :banghead:

I'm mid-40's with a toddler. It's amazing getting to experience little things in life that you take for granted as you see them happen for the first time in front of a child's eyes. I get why older people love spending time with their grandkids. It brings your playful youth back spending time with small children. Sounds like you're just going through a mid-life crisis. Get some TRT and stop having a pity party.
There's no DJ. Depending on what song you play on the jukebox, you could get a real spicy dance or a dud. Between the stretch marks and c-section scar is where you aim to put your dollar bill.
That's exactly what you need, an office linebacker. Terry don't play that shite! Get your boss to institute some rules for the "free" coffee. We only have 10 people in my office, and everyone knows the rules for the coffee and office kitchen. We all know who drinks what kind of coffee, have color coordinated pot handles for dark roast, medium roast, etc. Y'all need to tighten up.

Nah, Aggies do that by choice.

America's Corps of Cadets is a new War Department program established to expand the pipeline of patriotic leaders of character commissioning into the Joint Force. Building on the existing Corps of Cadets at the nation's six Senior Military Colleges, the initiative partners with a new set of premier institutions—Louisiana State University, Liberty University, Tuskegee University, Mississippi State University, and Hillsdale College—to create additional full-time Corps of Cadets programs. Each participating school is designated a "Distinguished Military College," a revived category that requires exceptionally high standards of cadet discipline, tactical instruction, and military organization. These institutions also receive "Honor School" status, which provides priority in officer commissioning.

Kinda hard to build around constant traffic and not being able to close off half the road at a time.

I mean, I'm on board with that. Tulane too. LSU should be the only football DI school in the state.

Going the weekend before Thanksgiving and early part of that week. I haven't been to the Smokies since I was a kid. Wife and kids (14 & 5). Want to do some actual things in the park and not just the touristy stuff in PF/Gatlinburg. Gonna skip Dollywood. My youngest wants to see waterfalls. What are some easy to hit spots that aren't too strenuous to hike considering a small child & wife? What are some good mountain coasters/zip lines that you would recommend? I've had people tell me we need to get tickets for dinner shows before they sell out. What are your rec's for restaurants/shows etc? I looked in the Travel Board stickied thread, but there's no posts for a Smokies trip.
