Wasted a few minutes (half an hour maybe?) by shooting the bull a bit with the 2 women that sit near me. The early 30s super sarcastic, smart aleck who is training me and the mid 50s obese lesbian (Cheetos eater). Actually the Cheetos eater is pretty cool. I like her. So far I've counted at least 3 lesbians at my new company.

The women in the huge room I'm in are all real into their pets. Constant conversation concerning their dogs and cats. Little dog statues, dog photos, one lady has a jacket or long sleeved shirt that has a kitty on the back of it and she has a sign on her cubicle wall that says:

I started work on July 5th, Wednesday. The company gave everyone Monday and Tuesday off for the July 4th holiday. Paid holiday. I thought I wouldn't see any of that since I started after the holiday.

Got my first paycheck a couple days ago. They did direct deposit into my bank account. Thought it was a little higher than expected. So yesterday I get the pay stub. They actually paid me for Monday and Tuesday!!! It's a miracle.

Getting paid on off days must be nice.

Also...

Things that make me happy: being able to use my grandpa's old 100' tape measure at work. Sears branded, metal casing and made in the U.S.A. On the side it has "C. Billings" that he applied with an oldschool label maker. Vintage tape that's probably older than me being used for what it's designed for? I think he'd approve.

That **** hole tiny company I worked at for 2 weeks didn't even pay me for Memorial Day even though they were supposed to. I started the week before Memorial Day and they fired me on the Friday (morning) after Memorial Day. Didn't pay me for Friday either. So I only worked there for a total of a little more than 8 days.

The owner was some shady older Indian (early 60s maybe) who could barely use a computer. At least he gave me the whole pay on Friday and didn't make me wait 2 weeks. But when I asked how many hours it would be, he said some bull**** that it was up to his outside accountant (who took care of payroll). Such a liar.

I knew it was going to be bad from the start. He introduced me to the 2 engineers and another guy, saying they had been there for like 10 years or something. But the 2 people that work at the front were a revolving door. Most only lasted a few months to a year. Either fired or quit. He felt that it was unfair to him. hahahahaha....That's what you get when you pay very little and give no benefits to your employees. No one is going to stick around for that ****.

Isn't it after 3 months when companies are supposed to pay national holidays?

Manager at work said if he sees cell phones out he will take them until the end of the shift.

What is this...high school? :haha

Oh yes. As I mentioned before on the forum, white women can sense that there is something off about me and are mildly creeped out by me. Especially when looking for rooms to rent (roommate situation) and with job interviews. Men and foreigners (both sexes) don't seem to notice that I'm odd as much.

So the person who interviewed me for this latest job is an Asian American woman. The HR lady was there too (white woman).

This probably was not meant to be funny, but it is, lol (hope that doesn't bother you). I have not seen enough of your past posts, but I'm guessing you're not white?

Hot tip! If you decide to change the sprockets on the final unit, change the *****ing drawing first ffs so I don't have to take the entire damn shaft apart! It's always the big ****ers too...it can't be a small shaft noooooooooooooooo! It has to be the 4 7/16" diameter one with the **** off large pillow blocks! >_<

So when I'm focused on the work and enjoying it my anxiety seems to vanish...well, Millwrighting has moments where it's just one big d*ck joke lol; some personal gems include:

"Stick it in the hole!"
"I'm gonna beat it off..."
"You take the loose one...I'ma take the tight one because that's how I roll!" (referring to the taper and mating sprocket)
"Take the horsec-ck and run it around the rim a few times!"

...yeah...the kid that was helping me damn near herniated from laughter a few times. It was priceless!
