Neat.

I have a few things I need done around the house that I just can't get to. I called several handyman services and all were between 100 and 130 an hour.

I asked around and got a few names of individuals and they all came in at 55-65 and hour. Talking with one of them, he said he was contacted by one of the handyman services to subcontract my work and they offered him 45/hr. He wouldn't tell me which so I don't know how low they bid him.

Same guy doing the actual work, he's making more and I'm paying less. And he can get here 6 days sooner than the "service".

Hail Corporate.

Whew, I was wondering if everyone moved to a new board without telling me. They did that to me on the Yankee Candle message boards a couple years ago. :(

We wouldn't try that again, after the failed attempt to leave you at the swamp over 10 years ago.

Neglected to offer my condolences. It was crappy for them to stick it to you like that.

Thanks man,it was tough. I logged in one day and there was 1 new post calling me a "momma's boy" and they were gone. I looked but I could never find them. Luckily my mother tracked them down and gave them hell for me.

man I've missed the odd business lunch over the past couple of years.
big steak and a couple of pints in the middle of the day, one of our companies pays, afternoon is a write off, and the bosses are thrilled about my productivity for the day.

need a nap now.

Hey @dash, didn't you say you had "the worst case of tennis elbow" your doctor had ever seen about this time 45 years ago?

Fios Internet down for the day. It’s like a free vacation day.

I can watch the tournament now without that pesky work thing getting in the way.

The shooters aunt works in my office and sent a department wide message asking us to pray for her murdering nephew.

Sure, I’ll get right on that. #heartless

You can pray to expedite his entry into hell.
