| I am currently merging my wife's comic collection with mine, after ten years of marriage. She organized books by subject, not alphabetically by title, so I keep hitting books I have already passed in the alphabet. On top of that, she doesn't believe in sealing bags, so I am flipping through a forest of bag flaps. Thankfully, I am down to three short boxes, and from now on every book will be logged and filed as it comes in (just like mine). | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by xkonk I agree that paying a company more to do the same job can be wasteful but since the govies can't be bothered to do their jobs, so someone has to do it. Would you want the job done or would you want the job done correctly? When the base started opening back up, leadership began putting out these emails detailing the productivity of the personnel in the building. Contractors were the only ones in the building at this time. The amount of production had a negligible increase when the govies came back. We stopped getting those production updates after a while. I deal with contractor hate every day. I don't get it but you'd think being the help would make the govies happy since the gov takes the official credit for my work anyways. It's also easier to get rid of the dead weight contractors than it is the government employees. Being a govie is like being a tenured professor. Once they get it, they're set for life. |

| @Studley_Dudley it does suck that the feds don't do their job where you are. Where I am, we had a contractor who would literally sleep on the job, or read his book for good chunks of the day. The feds here sign contracts with companies, not hire individual contractors, so they can't fire him. When I was overseeing a few people, they also wouldn't give me feedback at annual review time. It's hard to demonstrate that you've done a good job when no one will tell you what kind of job you've done. But, I did get paid more as a contractor. There was a constant threat of losing my job when Congress didn't feel like getting their act together. Pluses and minuses. | ||

| …a job that felt like I was back in high school. Drama, negativity from so many employees, and poor leadership that doesn’t do anything to fix it. That’s at my local county sheriff’s office detention center. I thought I found the right fit after retiring from the military. I was so very wrong. I resigned today. |

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC I mean, I think I know what you're saying, but I'm still trying to see the broader view. Regrettably, I seem to be hampered by some sort of interference from the negative energy that encompasses your post. I think it's possible that you need to expand your world view and try not to be so focused on self privilege. You know what I mean? |

| What grinds my gears? when someone bugs me to watch a movie with them so I come over and it’s a movie I’ve told them multiple times I didn’t care to watch because I didn’t think I’d like it and surprise I didn’t 1. They put the move on then leave the room for 87% of it 2. And it was complete trash , I love horror movies and this was offensive to the genre ( insert bad word here) FNAF |
