Funny as it may seem but this kind of shit factored into me retiring early ....... I worked 12 hr shifts and we couldn't leave the premises for breaks etc... so I usually had to eat at least 2 meals there. After 30 years you get fed up....... small cafeteria, some filthy pigs ... and my biggest irritation was the farting...... guys would wait till you were eating your supper then sit beside you and start letting them rip...... then the madder you got the more the guys would ride you... then the whole place would be shitting themselves.... closest I ever came to physical violence in my life. Finally I lost it one day and told the goof if you shit near me while I'm eating you're gonna wear my food...... eventually I would take my breaks in my truck when I could.... actually started bring my acoustic with me on night shifts.
That came to an end with the no smoking on the property law cause guys were sitting in their cars to have a smoke. The final straw was cell phones. The newer employees couldn't put the fucking things down .. so the plant manager said OK ... no more personal electronic items on the shop floor...... so everybody suffers right ......I couldn't listen to my iPod for a few hours of the shift anymore.........
Anyway, I installed some Bose headphone speakers into a set of the ear muffs we wore and you couldn't even tell ...... I still used the iPod but I found it fatiguing on the ears after awhile, I guess because regular headphones are vented... the plant was so loud that when people experienced it for the first time it scared them! We made pop ,beer and the steel Campbell soup cans .... all that going through the track work made a god awful noise....... and the hiss was unbelievable, like a jet engine. Eventully I wore ear plugs and the best sound deadening muffs I could get..........
Are you deaf yet????

Yesterday was Sunday, and the cleaning ladies made their weekly visit.

It’s always interesting to see how long it takes the man-babies I work with to completely erase any sign of their efforts.

Opened the microwave, someone’s dinner.
Just sitting there.
Of course, they won’t cover it.
It’s rare to find the microwave without food blasted all over the interior.

I was going to leave it there, let the night shift guys find it when they come back tonight. One of my coworkers threw it in the trash.

There’s always food in the sink drain.
So if you plan to run water, you are first required to poke the debris through the strainer to re-establish flow.

I have no idea how they continue to pop the ground fault interrupter on the kitchen outlet.

Empty syrup bottle, crumbs left in a bag of tortilla chips, and half an onion sitting on the counter.
Great aroma.

I'm imagining when I was in the Air Force and what my flight chief would have said if a bunch of airmen left a mess like that. Can you give really demeaning work as punishment or anything, make them clean the latrine or cut the lawn with a fingernail clipper and ruler, anything like that? Damn.

yeah, reminds me of the plant where preforms (which looked like test tubes with a threaded neck) where reheated and expanded into 2-liter bottles. I wore protection and I still worried about my hearing. 12 hour shifts, very fatiguing.

I can think of a forum member....

Two if it's free and you leave it on the porch.
That aforementioned member would be me. I will turn 75 in 7 days. I started cooking when I was around 11. I don't give a fuck about "Sell By" or "Best By" or "Freeze By" or "Use By". For the most part, that's just a marketing racket to move stuff off the shelves. I know what is good to eat and what is good to throw. You big babies, you. :hippie:

Different types of dates have different meanings, and most of it to move merchandise.
Some of it is to avoid liability.

Same as you, I don’t put much weight in the date on the packaging.

Everything gets the sniff test, and I learned long ago to always prepare even the simplest snacks with the lights on.
It pays to pay attention.

Whatever you do Lee,.. don't ever use one of them ultra violet lights in the bathroom, like we use to check our guitars. It won't be good.

That would be even more evil than mixing Skittles and M&Ms and leaving them in a candy dish on your desk.
