  1. Plenty of employers offer paid vacations. If you are salary then you can leave early to do what ever for or with your kid and still get paid the same. Meanwhile others without kids are being penalized by having to take up the slack and do your job for you. Obviously things in life are not fair, but in observation people with kids get preferential treatment in the workplace vs those without. Those without should be allowed more time off / paid sick days etc to make up for. Yes smokers and coffee drinkers are less productive as well due to the frequent trips to the coffee maker and such but, this can be regulated by the employer to enforce specific break times which, companies like Verizon for example are almost nazis about. However if you get fired for missing work due to your kid you can likely sue the company and get away with it. Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.
  2. First I'm sure some people will take offense to this... but no matter. Pretty much in short observation of many workplaces it appears that people with kids vs people who don't appear to get special privilages. Example, my girlfriend works in an office and if a co worker has to leave early or misses a day because of something to do with their kid, she is stuck working late and picking up their slack. I'm sure this is not exclusive to her job / office. It will never happen but I see it as only fair that people without kids get an extra week or so of paid vacation to make up for getting screwed earlier in the year. Thoughts? Comments? Leave the torches and pitchforks at home... Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.
  3. Who knew working in a warehouse could be so dangerous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tqd4aPs5WTA Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.
  4. LoL Sensationalized much? I love the comment section too. So many experts appear online. Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.
  5. Hopefully some of you can help. I have 5.1 speakers hooked up to this PC.. They sound great while playing movies and music, but any games .. battlefield, Portal etc.. all have a distinct buzzing noise and almost a slight screech every time the mouse is moved. Any ideas? The sound card is onboard realtek with creative speakers. Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.
  6. Reality shows? Staged? That almost NEVER happens Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.
  7. Why not.. At the very least it would give me something to do until impact... I might even attempt RW with some of the people who had an unintentional exit on depressurizing. Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.
  8. While working for fire dept.. I used to back in to parking space. Someone tied a box to my trailer hitch with "free kittens" written on it. Not my joke but good none the less. Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.
  9. As a newish camera flyer.. a course of some sort would be interesting. I agree with some previous posters too.. cameras ARE a distraction and have seen people dicking around with their gopro and not checking gear / handles etc.. I'm guilty of doing it when first getting a camera.. It is disturbing to see kids with 30 jumps asking if their red light is flashing or not when the door is open. Thanks to DSE for taking time to point out things I was unaware of and some guidance some moons ago... Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.
  10. If that's all the game he had, I'm not surprised. Women like men with a sense of humor. . .. And are tall and good looking. And money.... Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.
  11. If I've said anything ever intelligent here it will be this. Do not stop writing in the log book. It will reach up and bite you one day at some DZ's if you don't. Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.
  12. I understand your point, but if your mind is nowhere in that set of expecting to see something then there should be no good reason to imagine it if you are not nor have any reason to think about it. Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.
  13. I dispute all of those things listed. Both of us were wide awake at these times as we worked 3rd shift so on days off 3am was as casual as 3pm to you so none of us woke up seeing anything or even had the slightest idea or reason to have anything like that in mind. Had not watched horror movies or any ghost documentaries or anything for any of us to have the mindset to be looking or suspecting. My roommate actually said he was glad I asked him about strange things because he thought I would think he was crazy. Also I know about vacuum and doors closing on their own when another is opened etc but that does not happen with a fully open door.

  14. I grew up in a military family and saw the HALO scene from "navy seals" and said "I want to do that one day" Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.
  15. The strange things were seeing human shadows move across door ways or the ceiling as if crossing from one room to another, doors opening and closing on their own. I saw what appeared to be the outline of a human figure out of the corner of my eye at the end of my bed once while walking to the bathroom. He described a feeling once not being alone in the room and a sense of extreme anger and often felt he was being watched. Which in that particular area of the house I would get the same feelings also. These strange things happened for about a year.. We never personally saw any doors close or open on their own but knew neither one of us had opened or closed it before and heard it latch on several occasions. The events all seemed to be located in 1 particular area of the house. Known my friend for almost 17 years I know he is not lying.
