I find glocks to be something that you have to fully buy in to. I have a hard time going between glocks and anything else. Havent noticed that with 1911's and other plastic pistols. Glocks grip angle and trigger are unique and they require more practice to shoot well than other pistols in my experience.

Dude, you arent very stupidly overweight. You can easily fix that without medicine. Easily. Improve your diet a little bit, exercise a little bit more, and itll start going back the right direction.

Ive had them filed against me and it can be a serious problem depending on the union and who their site representative is and all that good stuff. I was lucky to only get myself a talking to once by my personal management, and it was ok once everybody in the room understood my position. It is interesting to watch grown men give a-hole answers to simple questions such as "why didnt you pull the pump yourself if it was your job to do it, you got paid to do it, you had the opportunity AND had direction to do it?"

Unions are the easy button for staffing maintenance crews, turnarounds, etc, and I get it. It takes A LOT of effort to make sure that "im not doing it right now but you cant either because its my job" attitude doesnt set in and spread. You have to nip that shite in the bud, and the good union hands will appreciate you doing it.

He or someone nearby should have told the union hand to get fricked and the kid to carry on. Dare the grown man to file a grievance on a kid for sweeping the floor instead of sitting on his arse. Its so very worth it for so many reasons. The frickers will usually do it, and then you get to laugh at a grown man for being such a pussy.

Unions are labor extortion agencies. Its much different than a big corporation. In a corporation, you are free to leave whenever you want, advance yourself by application of effort and display of talent. In a union, you are a cog in the machine in the most literal sense. They had a place once but now, after having to directly work with them, negotiate contracts, etc, I hate them.

If you are ever in such a position, telling a career union drag arse to get fricked and then doing his job right in front of him is incredibly satisfying.

Last friday we saw an 18 foot express about 16 miles out with a whole family in it. It was damn smooth. They had about a 3 foot shark on the deck :lol:

5 fish a person makes it well worth going with just two people. 10 water headed snappers is a good box for a morning.
