I don't see the narcissism at all, I think you guys are taking the line "she worked for me" as negative when in isn't.

If it was any other president's twitter statement then maybe, but not Trump's.

How can you not?

Also who the fuck says that about a musician?

I doubt even the most egotistical billionaire Arab who pays for private shows would phrase it as "yeah Beyonc, she worked for me."

Besides saying that she worked for him, he also said she was terrific and expressed his condolences to her family.

I understand why Trump gets a lot of criticism but when he gets criticized for things he shouldn't be criticized for you wonder how much of the criticism is just BS.

This is most certainly valid of criticism. It's so ragingly narcissistic it's almost incomprehensible.

Not I had the honour of meeting her, of working with her, of seeing her perform, just "yeah this person, ignoring the fact she's a literal legend cause that doesn't let me boast or sound like the most important person in the universe, so ignoring all that, she worked for me."

When I worked in radio I'd help out at local fast food places and for some reason McDonald's actually made me work the drive thru. Like for real do it not just hand out bags.

It was horrible and I hated it.

I also worked at Walmart in my teens. I wasn't even a cashier or anything but yeah I hated that too.

You want context? Fine. That darknight topic where he kicked his two dogs (huskies no less, you ever seen a fucking husky? they're goddamn huge, a kick to them would be like a swift pat on the back of your head) off his cat. Even Cesar Milan, the purported "dog whisperer" makes mistakes, as seen when that one dog fucking flipped out and bit the shit out of him. Oh, but what did Cesar Milan do? He swiftly and firmly smacked the fucking dog. And yet, everyone in that topic is still continuing to chastise and belittle him, when the alternative would be a terribly mangled or injured cat.

Shut the fuck up. Good grief.

I'm with you as I'll do what I have to do to get a job done, but at the same time I've seen carpenters flip out over something like that.

"You're taking my/our work! You need a carpenter to do that!"

Which I KIND OF understand tbh. But if I have to shift a stud or add some blocking I'll do it myself or at least make sure the carpenters dont mind at all.

Fair enough. It takes all kinds. I've worked for and with some asshole carpenters too for sure.

Realistically I'm talking about my experiences specifically since working in town jobs again the past year. I'm lucky enough to be on a great crew. Small but all great guys. But I swear its like, at least around here, every damn sub contractor expects us to do anything they don't feel like doing. The odd time our supe has even backed them up on doing their clean up and prep work. That's when it really started to bug me. Its a kick in the nuts that we gotta more or less always go along with it.

Car. I don't think I've given it a gender but itt I was gonna say given her a gender initially so apparently she's a girl. Makes sense since I get inside her and she requires some maintenance and all I guess.

Im not kind to my car and car has been a champ. I literally say things like "good car" when I know I'm asking too much. I'm not above patting the dash either.

Like 8 years later and a 500 dollar 04 Sunfire has never let me down. Even off road. Lol. Never even had anyhthing done except the brakes.

Haha right on. Had a project manager blame us electricians for our boxes getting buried, because according to him we should know where all of them are. Sure, we'll keep exact track of every box on a 5,000 square foot custom home.

Jesus Christ. Seriously why are some of the lowest skill trades the most adverse to the tiniest bit of extra.... Nevermind. Lol.

Side note I hate roofing but I will say roofers are generally good shit on site. Horrible at life generally speaking but aside from the odd miserable pick they're usually content to do what needs to be done in my experience.

There is not a single part of this I dont totally agree with.

Seriously I've worked with like 2 electricians ever who didn't constantly ask me or another carpenter to do the most basic shit for them.

That's real lame. They must be either really lazy or feel their above that type of work which is laughable.

I like how when we wire houses that are being built/worked on, we mostly work with one certain construction company and they're all cool guys. We help them out and they help us out. Although it's never any dumb stuff like screwing up a block for a ceiling box.

They certainly have no desire to do anything even slightly outside their own specific and exact scope of work.

Nope! Now get to sweeping. I joke, I joke.

Can't lie, some plumbers and electricians can be princesses at times. Especially union workers. Though the biggest prima donna of them all is the site safety guy...

Lol.

Yeah it's a shame site safety dudes literally never have practical work experience. I know a carpenter who's certified to be a safety guy but he's good on the tools so he's fucked out of luck unless he pretends he can't build.

Given the risks, training required, and licensing I'd say we deserve it.

Considering damn near every carpenter deals with live wiring at some point and frequently use more dangerous tools and also work in dangerous and awkward positions and places at least as frequently I'm unsure why that wouldnt apply to carpenters too.

I'll be perfectly honest I am a little bitter. There was a time carpenters were actually respected. Now we're the schlubs of the trades and expected to be welders, plumbers, or electricians bitch on call.

Nevermind the fact that we gotta do our job to even get things to a point where those people can work.... Somehow we're still the least respected and valued of the lot.

How long would that take you? $400 is absurd for 30 minutes of work. Unless you are including materials along with labor.

Well... if the boxes arent attached to a stud and the electrician is insisting on putting in those metal boxes that secure to two rafters. And if the guy has to assemble both fans. It could theoretically take a good chunk of the day.

And I dont know whats with all this green wire talk. Here its just bare copper.

It's a half day project for sure.

Man if that's a half day project for you and you're in the trades I dont know wtf to tell ya. If that was all i got done in 4 hours my supe would be pretty pissed.

I'm factoring in time in takes to drive to the job, assemble both fans, possibly replace the existing boxes with fan rated boxes. By half day I'm talking I would schedule it for either a full morning or full afternoon and would bill accordingly

And you're a carpenter, so with all due respect I'm not going to take advice on my trade from you or vice versa.

Must be nice to get paid for driving time.

Why the fuck have carpenters gotten reduced to everyone's bitch I. The last ten or fifteen years? =(

I mean you're not being totally unreasonable but if I can build an elevator shaft and pour a slab and wire an automatic door closer and still do some trim work it seems like that's a pretty small scope of work for the time frame.

electricians and plumbers have always been prima donnas.

Urgh, I'm tired of seeing people fall for this mindset.

You can't fund one industry with money from another. It just doesn't work like that.

Why not? In Tennessee the taxes on the lottery are used to fund education. The two hardly have any relation to one another, but the funds are there all the same.

It's literally done constantly.

We have icbc in this province and it's the only insurance provider for your car (there are numerous companies but all the insurance goes through icbc) that money is generally earmarked for roads and transportation but the last government scooped a billio out of it to balance budgets.

That's a rarity. But things like taxes on cigarettes and liquor and gambling revenues are used for all sorts of shit. TC's premise was dead from the jump.

Since you actually were a customer of the mall I'm sure you can win the case in small claims court.

I don't even have evidence that the car was towed at all. They wouldn't give me a receipt.

Frankly, they just intimidated the fuck out of me. I just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible.

Fucking sketchy ass tow truck company.

"I got a rollatruc, look."

I dknt get dicks in a rush to call a tow truck. Same thing happened to me and it was the last day of my cars insurance. I was parking in the (largely empty) reserved lot for my insurance broker... But I needed to see a buddy at the gym next door quickly so I went there first. Came back in under 5 mins and my car was gone. Went into the insurance place and the bitch who called it I the second she saw me hit the gym was so proud to let me know.

I did not get my insurance there again. Fucking hell of a response time from the tow truck tho.
