The Complaining and Bitching Thread

Well I'm learning codes and contracts have little to do with life down here. I've known they were issues for years. The extent those issues reach? Simply boggles my mind. Almost every wire in my house is green, 80% I'd say. Next favorite? White coming in it 15% and lastly black with a mere 5%. Not one wire is in what I would call "conduit" nor are any labeled as to wire they disappear to into walls, ceilings and dirt.

And, although my "contract" calls for copper pipes I quickly learned they mean copper where it can be seen. Once it 's covered by concrete it's PVC, cheap PVC. What can be done about this? Not much according to my attorney and two of my friends attorney's. You either accept the "Mexican way" or battle it out in court. In court you're likely to find the three judge panel is made up of one unrelated person in a black robe and two friends or family members of the builder. The builder wouldn't be doing this if he was going to lose out in some long drawn out (2 yrs min. I hear) court case.

So take your choice. Myself I've decided to bend over and take it with the small amount of lube they're currently offering rather than fight it any longer solely to find out out I'm still going to be getting it in the bent over position only now it's sans the lube they offered in the beginning. Talked to too many mentally unstable folks down here who decided they were right and they were going to get it "their way or else!" I'm sorry but from my viewpoint I'm in Mexico and I firmly believe I'm getting it the "Mexican way, or else!" Whether I like this fact is of no consequence.

Deals aren't fair here, many business people will lie to your face and smile while asking about the health of your mother... just the way it is. Right and wrong are either ghosts here or simply never resided here, here we just have the "Mexican way."

I have a fondness for the sun and my friends here are simply non-replaceable. So I'll stay and hopefully manage to fix the house before it falls down around us.

"Pot, meet kettle"

 

I have too much work at work and seemingly endless projects at home. Letting go and letting down tonight. It's early and I'm buzzed on Gin. Time for me to exit the TFP before I say something stupid. I will go visit my friends on Porn hub. Good night

 

I work on everything I'm ever asked to work on.
All kinds of shit I'm not responsible for doing, I do with a smile.
One thing I've made clear, I HATE working on the fucking EMR system. Not a secret.
So what did I get stuck doing this afternoon during some precious unscripted work time?
No good deed goes unpunished. I need to be a prick at work so people stop asking.

 

So I was talking to this guy about the price of a used truck. He says "well it would be a thousand or two less after I jew you down". Still amazes me that people use casual discrimination. I guess he figured one white guy to another.

 

The last stinkin' thing I need right now is for a hard drive to go bad in my NAS. It hasn't been turned off in 5+ years and it really, really didn't care for it.

The good news is that I have a 2 week old backup and the NAS is raid 5, anyway. I won't lose any data. The bad news is that I used 4x 2T Hitachi drives that aren't made any more. All of the drives have taken the same beating, I'd rather change all 4 and go another 5 years.

 

You should've moved to Oklahoma .

As a young kid I used to wonder how my relatives in OK could literally drink coffee all day long. When I got older I realized they were drinking 'brown water.'

 

Tried asking for hot "coffee milk" ?
You're close enough to Cajun country that they're likely to understand it. That's what they give to Littles in their bottles.
