as Dutch ages, he's almost 11 now, his gazes are deeper and longer...he knows the clock is ticking but he's determined to enjoy his life as he ages...he's got a much softer life now, I don't ask much of him...that's Ivans job to watch and alert...both dogs are on the same page but Ivan is still a bit psychotic...he's got a wicked mean streak in him but he's a lovable little beast...

Just think, when your alarm goes off, it'll mean that I'm finally going to sleep.

My ex BIL is into finance .I met him when he was working for Peat Warick actng firm in Australia as a CPA.
Years later he becomes Ceo of a company who he brought public .
He rang the bell at he time of the deal and was on tv and on a huge screen on a building .
I was his favorite BIL and He would take me on a trade show in Los Vegas and we would stay in a 1100 sq ft suite .
We would stay at the Venitian 2 years in a row
He would go into the show at 9 and I would order room service with 2 pots of coffee ,continental bk some movie .It cost his company $40. b4 I left my room.. His wife is a sweet Irish Lady who wanted her husband home early for some event .
He left me in the room for the last night and day and did I get into trouble !
He was and still a great BIL.
I have been very lucky in my life to have Bros do some away event and I get to go and put a drain on their expense accounts .

Morning gang. I have three trucks to get out of the shop today, an engine job that’s behind schedule and four trucks to diagnose. And my half assed helper is off all week. Maybe I’ll get more done without him. These younger people are so lazy and entitled and they are completely oblivious to those facts. Sometimes I just want to slap the dog **** out of him when he gets that arrogant smirk. Did I mention he’s my wife’s cousin?

Same with engineers. The corporation that I worked for took on MECOP students in their senior year to give them direct work experience and over the years they changed to students that thought they could do everything sitting at their computer and unwilling to actually go out and look/measure/lay hands on the project.Morning gang.

Also a greater number of students who felt that they were smarter than their trainer and that they should debate all the details rather than simply following directions from their experienced supervising engineer.
More of a sense of entitlement regarding their ego/feelings, so more prone to whine and snivel to the next level of management if told that the debate was over and to do it the way they were instructed or if spoken to disrespectfully.
We trained them but never hired any of them ourselves, as we hired more seasoned engineers that had the ******** already kicked out of them by the reality of practical experience.
That was a couple of decades ago. I can only imagine how it is now.

Good morning
Gooode morning ya'll!
This guy is an entry level tech and I was supposed to train him like an apprentice but he doesn’t listen. Instead of listening and doing what I say he goes off in a wild goose chase and loses several hours wasting time on something that’s caused by the problem we already diagnosed. I think it’s the private school in him. I told him his attitude would never have flown on a public school bus or recess yard lol. The saying used to go “talk **** get hit” until about 1996. Then it was Pokémon and therapy
