I just SOLD a bunch of PTO back for extra cash, which I don't really need, and I'll still have 10+ weeks next year.
I'll be at 20 years with the same company in a month and a half. Also not sure if good or bad. At this particular moment @Pesqueeb is correct.
Dude. You need to ski/bike/fuck-off more.I just SOLD a bunch of PTO back for extra cash, which I don't really need, and I'll still have 10+ weeks next year.

Lamson knives cyber monday sale has me tempted to buy yet more kitchen knives. Why am I like this?
Lesson learned, use your damn PTO, never know when a global pandemic will hit.
Place I used to work instituted a "Carmen Rule" because Carmen had been there for 27 years and almost never used PTO. They used to give you an extra week of PTO for every year you'd been there, and she had like 150 weeks banked. She's the reason they started maxing out at 6 weeks banked and then just paying you out. Unfortunately Covid killed the company, not sure if she ever got her check for owed PTO.

Brewery, distillery or government sector?
Forgot I had these in the garage. Diving weights with a hole drilled in them using Tillet seat bolts (if mounting to the seat). Way less work than cutting up lead and not very expensive.
I can't imagine what that amount of PTO is like. It must be amazing.I just SOLD a bunch of PTO back for extra cash, which I don't really need, and I'll still have 10+ weeks next year.
It's not, when you suck at taking it like I do.
My job has never lent itself to being gone. That said, I need to enjoy the benefit, or what's the point.
Is your boss a total dick? I tried that once, but really couldn't bear the boss. What a fuck-stick.

@jstuhlman , Gonna go do an hour of snow blowing. Glad I could help reinforce your geographical decision making.
Because you're a knife-whore? Perhaps you should commiserate with @StiHacka and @Adventurous. I only really have 3 decent kitchen knives (large chef's, bread, and small chef's/serrated).
I think @maxyedor is close-ish?
Indeed. What’s happening?
I probably have 20 really nice, professionally sharpened knives. (Wüsthof, etc, blah blah).
I basically never uses them anymore. I buy these every two years or so, and use them into the ground (and then they go in the camper).
They are just SO much sharper. And stay sharp. And cheap as dirt.

Ping me if might becomes more. I’ll actually be in Denver shortly but I’ll be back home Tuesday.Might be there for a few days next week, for work.
@kazlx lives in the greater LA metro area IIRC
Lead is crazy expensive, hence the big block and spending time. It was only $3.25/lb. It's usually $5-7/lb before shipping. I'd still gladly take them off your hands though. Pirateship is by far the cheapest way, just let me know.
I basically only use a 9" chefs knife, a 6" kiritsuki (roughly equivalent to a chef's), and a 3" paring with any regularity. Got a serrated bread knife for those occasions, but thats about it. As much of a knife whore as I am, I still try to limit my overlapping and unnecessary purchases.
I'd probably get along just fine with the 9" chef's and paring. Some day.
Kinda sorta, but not really. Not anywhere I’d want to drive in traffic unless you’re heading towards Disneyland already.
My a knife whore? Never
I usually just use my 8" Benchmade Chef's knife and my Lamson Chinese clever, but have a cheapi Nakiri I dig but would like to replace with some nicer steel and kinda want to try Lamson's smaller Chinese cleaver. My dad bought me a bunch of Kramer Damascus knives which I can't get rid of, but just don't like using, so my knife pile is huge, but the only ones that ever get used are never in said pile.
Ventura County, unfortunately close to LA. LA smells like piss and costs too much.
@stoney was actually considering getting rid of my free-diving shit as I haven't been in years. Not sure how much weight I've got on my weight belt, but if you want some diving weights I'll send them to you instead of Goodwill. I also have a couple spears, not sure if those are allowed in karting though
like today?
Kramer Damascus like his original creations? Or the Zwilling "Kramer" stuff? What's the hangup with them?
only in the ///Mad ///Max League
Take it to knifewhoresmonkey.com, you knife whores!!
I read it as next Monday-ish, or maybe over this coming weekend?
Zwilling, too much curve on the cutting edge for my liking and the sizing is just off for me. The 10" Chef's knife is just too big and the 6" too small given how much curve they have. Also have a paring knife but rarely if ever use pairing knives, and a serrated bread knife that I'm afraid to use because there's no way to sharpen the stupid weird shaped serrations.
Yup, can confirm, I still want an 8” Miyabi Chef’s knife. Birchwood is amazing but the Kaizen is actually cheaper than a Wustof.
