RACE & RECOVERY: Newcomer Sunday!

enjoying your weekend off, I'm I. Yes, sir. I um, I thought so yesterday, my boss calls me and asked me if I knew that a car was supposed to be coming in. I was like nobody told me yesterday that I'm working on Saturday and luckily the car never showed up. But um, my, my break to communication between management and the rest of us. Yeah, right. But um, I ended up going to my sister's house yesterday with the, the girl and she we ended up helping my sister paint in here because she moved last week. So still work, but not work, I guess. Yeah, painting is kind of fun. As long as it's inside. Yeah, I had to hang their TV for them and help paint the walls, played with the kids. Oh, that stuff. I've gotten lucky, man. But a couple places I wanted to hang TVs is where there's like, it's exactly in between studs and it just turns in a bigger project than I wanted to do. But I still end up doing it. But yeah, I'm pretty good at it. Well, I mean, these these damn hanger things have come a long way. I remember like some of the original ones. Now they're like bad ass, but I'm like, man, I really want to put like a bolt there, but it's actually like, they'll have like a space in between holes like in the frame where it's solid. I'm like, okay, now I got to get my drill bit and you use a stud finder. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I got my was at the yellow one, the decline tools or whatever it is. More than likely. Yeah. We didn't have a stud finder yesterday. So easiest way to do it is to measure 16 inches off the stud is usually each stud is 16 inches on center. So it's kind of marked or I measured from the corner of the wall and where over 16 inches until those center of the wall to where the TV was going to go. And luckily, I hit the stud every time. So no, you must have stricter building codes up there because I swear they slacked down here. Yeah. Or Mexicans like don't understand 16 or 18. Or whatever because it's all over, man. Yeah, believe it. Or one wall I came across where it was this interior wall. So the studs went horizontal instead of vertical. Yeah, I've seen places like this. It's fucking stupid. I don't know why they do that. And exactly where I want to put the damn thing. Oh, yeah. Every time. So then you got to lower it or increase it and then change the arms on the back of the TV. And just more work. Yep. Yes, it is. I've gotten slack though. It's so much easier. Before, I used to sit there and just saw like outlets like from below up to the top where it is. Now they just have those nice like, you know, holes where you can just like sit there and put a hole at the bottom, hold the top and just run them through. That's what I do now. Yeah, I've done that. And then like, like the little cover that you're talking about, you can just pop the thing through the cover. Yeah. And it's like recessed. So it's like everything fits. Yep. Yeah, they got all the fancy stuff now. Yeah, I used to have to use the fucking, like either string or something to, so I'd cut a hole next to the outlet and then run fucking string down there so I could grab the string and pull the cord through. So it went the right fucking way instead of trying to fish the cord through the wall with my hand. Now they make it easier now. Oh, I know because like in my old house, man, I probably have like so many of my old fishing like weights. My father's like two ounce with like, you know, the neon string and then one one place actually in this house because we did a thing where my wife in our dining room, she just didn't want the she wanted me to put an extra like hanging light like chandelier light. So I had to sit there and run it from one outlet all the way across. It's like a trade ceiling to the other side making outlet. So, but I bought one of those glow in the dark. It's like these like yard pieces and you screw them together. Yeah, yeah. One of them fell in there, man. I can't get it. It's up there. It's just going to stay there until the end of time. It's made me mad. It was an expensive set, but I'm like, oh, well. Yeah, they come in like a clear tube that you could put them in. There was this one company that trained these squirrels to run cable and shit. No shit. Yeah. And I thought about that. I mean, I was like, man, like I've, I've complained when I'm running like either cat six cable or other cables. I'm like, if I had a damn squirrel, this would be so much easier. And they actually showed a video. It was like it was the squirrels going against these people using these mini drones and you know, come mini drones were lost. Do squirrel got through no problem? I just wanted to treat Ipronth thing pulled the cord. You good to go? That's fucking funny. So even squirrels are more productive than our dogs. Yes, they are. Yes, they are. It's going to say something completely slipping my mind. Man, that's that's amazing. The kind of things you can get down with animal husband treated. I've never even heard or thought about that, but it makes sense actually. That's crazy cool. Oh yeah. Imagine just train them. You know, basic treats, whatever. Star of them. Put a little jacket, little vest on them. Say squirrel. Run to the treat. You know, it's dragon line. It just saved you three days of bitching, complaining, cutting holes and shit. You didn't want to cut holes in. And that's white man stuff. That's fucking cool, dude. Nonskitt never. Yeah, I wonder how hard it really is to do. I'm terrible with training like animals. But if I could do that, man, because there are things I would love to do, but I'm like, man, the only way I'm doing that is if I'm like ripping every single piece of drywall off my house to run something there. No, dude, I could have a squirrel. And squirrel, you know, when he gets to a place where there's no hole, dude, squirrel is going to chew a hole. It'll get through. Yeah, I've only ever like outside of like having an animal do what an animal does. Like, you know, running your cattle first to to graze and shit and then running your chickens behind that to spread the fertilizer, you know, like pick through and get the larvae and spread the manure using goats to like clear brush and bramble. That sort of thing. Outside of that, the only thing I've ever done, and it was like, you know, it was accessory and like just to keep it occupied. But I used to have a sun con here. And I would teach it to, you know, like stack cups or like build like rudimentary like blocks sets into like a castle or whatever. But it just takes a little time and companionship. And I'm a squirrel might even be more not engaged on something like that, but like something where it's like that isn't its nature to go into a tight space to go out the other side to find a way through that sort of thing. That's really interesting. I'm going to have to look that up. It's a good idea. I mean, I'm sure the overheads cheap if you're patient. But then you can have it do other things like hey squirrel, here's a listen lock cameras destroy. Oh yeah, like folks have trained crows to, you know, bring back loose chains that they find, you know what I mean? Like crows will bring you something shiny for something tasty. Hopefully the Jews don't know about this. I mean, they might. We have to be careful of that. They might already have swirls out here spying on us. I don't know if I was still like, wait, one type of bird to Jews. Oh look the sun's out. It would be the, it would be the seagulls. Seagulls are nassoles and they steal shit. They're mean. Yeah, those are the niggers. Yeah, the Jews would probably be like haunting birds. Mocking birds? No, what's that one bird that pretends to be like another bird and lays like its eggs in the bird's nest and has someone else raise them and other bird raise them and them in their hatch. They like eat the other ones. That sounds like like a port of a thing bird. Anyway, we're gonna all up on the animal kingdom right now. But everyone likes share the space. You can get some good number of people in here that actually want to talk to them 12 o'clock. We got Mikey back today. Yes, we do. I guarantee you. What are the odd Liam comes up today? Oh he hasn't been here? He already crept in last week and never spoke. He must must be slacken. Well, he said he only can do about five days in a row. So, Brian, you be trying to string a lot of five days together to make a longer sobriety. I mean, if that works for him, I'm not sure. Mike, did you get things resolved with your employer, or your coworker, whoever that was? Yeah, things are fine now. Just get to aggravating. I was just going to say I had to have a conversation with my boss too. And he's like a, I mean, I don't know. It's hard to put it this. I don't want to talk shit on it. I like trying to find the good and everybody. But he's kind of like beta where he like he thinks shit talking and like being an asshole. It's like a way to show masculinity where he's really like a, you know, low T kind of pudgy. He wears a lip ring and he's like 40 some years old. He's got long hair if that tells you the thing about him. And like, so we had to have a conversation because he likes to make little derogatory nicknames. He likes to make mountains out of mohils that sort of thing. He's surrounded by a bunch of like high T strong men, you know, and like he sits in the office and he he does what he's good at that we don't do, you know, like spreadsheets and like makes the lists and that sort of thing. And we actually go out and execute. And that's great. That's a good relationship, right? But he's trying to like he piles around and like these little these ways where it's like he's kind of poking at it. You know, and it's not like we're going to react to that sort of thing. But I basically had to pull him aside and be like, look man, I've never, I've always been professional with you. So the other guys, we're noticing a pattern here. You know, it's like we're not going to go to HR. We're not like that, you know, but just man to man, you need to cut this shit out basically. And you know, he seemed he didn't seem to receive it well at the time. You know, he kind of made a little tizzy as well. But since then things have kind of smoothed out where he's just, you know, he gives.
