Morning monkeys!

Go ahead, ask your stupid questions today.

Was supposed to get on the right of way yesterday, but they didn't finish the hole they were on, so it will probably be today.

3 more days until vacation.

Be safe out there.

 

[insanitylevel9]

[I Are Baboon]

HELLO MONKEYS IMO. May your Wednesday be full of happiness and good health.

 

[X3pilot]

OK, here's a stupid question.

Why does Goofy wear pants, Pluto doesn;t and they're both dogs?

 

[stevew]

it has dawned on me that wilco is frat rock.

 

[Polandspring88]

You can sign my package any day.

Dogs who talk get shirts and hats...dogs who piss standing up get pants.

Oh yeah...good morning.

 

[stosh]

just got in to Monte Carlo my words will be worthless to describe this place.

 

[KavuRider]

Morning.
Went to bed early but still feel tired this morning.

Gotta bring the GF's car to my buddy's shop tonight to get the A/C installed. Hopefully that gets sorted.

I need to go for a ride!

 

[Heidi]

Took the long ride route to work and got here happy. Riding at lunch and then have an event to go to tonight - IgniteBend. Should be fun.

Why does my eraser leave a smudge?

 

[Total Heckler]

Morning all.

I am in a interesting position.

The day before my 2nd interview for another job (company #1), I finally hear from a much bigger and better company (company #2 - that I have been trying to get into for years). Phone interview scheduled with company #2 the same day as my 2nd interview with company #1.

I would much rather work for company #2 (guaranteed better pay, 25%+ increase, WAY better commute options, very successful company). But company #1 also is very successful, no real commute options besides adding 20 min each way, starting at a much lower position, and less pay (still a 17%+ pay increase from where I am now).

I am not sure how to handle this. I have a job currently so taking a job right away isn't necessary, but I don't want to blow off company #1 to pursue company #2 and have that not work out and lose my opportunity for company #1 too. Any suggestions?

How long can you hold off #1?

 

[I Are Baboon]

How long can you hold off #1?

Holding off #1 is not good for the bladder.

Heckler, until you have a job offer, proceed like you have not gotten any job offers.

 

[Heidi]

Whatever Edward 40hands. (How I met your mother show reference)

 

[Total Heckler]

Haha I love Edward 40 hands. Goodtimes.

IAB, I think thats a good way to look at it. Nothing set in stone and no official offers have been made. Thanks man.

 

[eric strt6]

spent the morning getting my truck and stuff ready for vacation....going to be a fun time

 

[rockofullr]

I had bad gas last night.

 

[descente]

Any suggestions?

my wife was in the same position a couple months ago. follow it through till you get an offer from each. she picked #1.

which one has the most potential for future growth (company and YOU)? ability to transfer anywhere?

 

[Total Heckler]

#2 is the best in the long run (and now) as far as I can see.

 

[Greyhound]

Just got word from the admissions committee that one of my students was academically rejected and isn't getting into school. Gotta go break that news to the family. Great.

 

[Pesqueeb]

Bit late into todays GMT. Broke 3k miles on the single speed somewhere on my way in this morning, big oil can eat a bag of dicks. Today is double coverage day so I stayed in the hangar and ran a 5k on the ramp. Have a feeling the ride home my be kind of rough. Over at the gate in the truck now trying to stay awake, I may have to go get myself one of those 40cent sodas @ delta.

 

[TN]

my wednesday is stroking right along.
good thing. cuz i am feeling like the weekend is never gonna get here.

That's a great lens. I have the Tamron 17-50 2.8 and it's pretty good, but I would really prefer the Nikkor.

 

[stoney]

Final packing for tomorrow. Leaving at 6am for SLC, then on to Denver on Friday. Time to bust on my beer and pack!

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

Time to bust on my beer and pack!

That's like.......gay? And gross.

 

[stoney]

Wow. Maybe I should drink and type.

 

[dhmike]

I don't know if this falls under a stupid question but to cut a carbon seat post do you need a carbon blade or will a normal blade work on a little job such as this ?

 

[Pesqueeb]

Jeebus fvcking christ on a crutch. Some people really have absolutely no business in aviation, in any capacity whatsoever.

 

[TheTruth]

Is a fish taco, shaped like a fish?

This times infinity.

 

[Pesqueeb]

This times infinity.

Seriously. Who the fvck gives some of these people licenses?

 

[Total Heckler]

Just unlocked a coworkers car who locked his keys inside on the front seat with a stick. My work here is done.

 

[bdamschen]

Any suggestions?

Blow off company #1 for company #2. Go big or go home

Pilots or FAs??

Surely not those ever sharp A&P mechanics!

were you listening to "Dawned On Me" when you had this epiphany?

 

[narlus]

you mean it's different than Orange County, NY?

 

[stevew]

i enjoyed nick lowe last night...which surprised me.....i couldn't make it six or seven songs before i had to bail on wilco....it just sounded off...

but i had uncle acid and the deadbeats "blood lust" on repeat for the three hour drive home.
