  • The reason why some people think they did it was because it was their job to take the mail to the mail room. But they were also the person who needed to go to the mail room to get our mail every day, which they did, every day. If they were already taking the elevator down to the mail room to get the mail, why not take the outgoing mail?!?
    We also found out that they were just marking tasks as complete about 20% of the time, so we had to double-check every task assigned to them for the previous 6 months.

    I earned my living with a hammer or a forklift for most of my life, and I never thought I would like the office gossip. But, It’s kinda great.
    It’s generally a different level than it was with the construction guys.
    “Joanne’s boyfriend might be emotionally abusive, and she won’t break up with him. Be kind to her.”
    vs
    “John got drunk last night after losing custody, and put his new girlfriend into a coma. We’ll need you to help with the gable overhangs.”





  • If it’s soft but cold, that means it’s not dense. If it’s not dense, that means there’s likely a lot of air. Probably almost half.

    a 3 gallon pail of their stuff is 15 pounds. Let’s turn that into useful measurements.

    3 gallons = 11.356 litres
    15 pounds = 6.8 kg.

    1 ml of water is 1 gram, so if the bucket was full of just water, it would weight nearly double what this bucket weights.

    From my time working with the product, I know that Soft-serve is commonly 40% air.
    6.8kg is 58.8% of the weight of the ice cream. That’s pretty darn close to 60%

    Edit: Changed g to gallons to make things less confusing.










  • Depends on the person.

    Even if you didn’t get injured, or sexually assaulted as part of “hazing”, or pick up a drug habit, playing a sport at a professional level will often ruin you.

    During high school you spend all of your non-school time training, so no after school job and your grades probably aren’t great.
    Then you get to university, where you play the sport without being paid, and you one again can’t really have a job or focus on your studies.
    Then you get drafted (or just hired for some league) into the sport, and you play until your body isn’t good enough anymore. You are then discarded with no job experience, no training, and possibly moving teams/cities every couple years so you don’t really have any non-sport contacts.

    If you get into a league that pays insanely well, you are likely fiscally fine. That’s like the NHL, or the NFL. If you only get into the CFL, the WHL, the “minors”, or you play in a women’s league or a sport that not enough people care about, you probably were not paid enough to survive once the game is over.

    So, what do you do with no job experience, no contacts, shrinking savings? You get a job that you can leverage your celebrity, like real estate or car sales, or something that you can also do if you have a criminal record or no CV, like roofing or landscaping.

    Edit: not that there is anything wrong with any of those jobs, but starting to learn a new job at 40 isn’t fun. Also, if your body isn’t in top-shape anymore, roofing and landscaping is brutal.
