I dunno, your avatar seems a bit hardcore (much less so if one takes the time to read the full cycle, but who reads these daysI am now a real cool cat, who would rather talk things over and avoid confrontation.
You can actually see that on this forum from as well...
- The first time I glanced at it, I thought : "What an odd fellow."I like Chris' avatar, always makes me laugh!
Yep... those glasses are hard to wear until you are older.
I'll admit a story that I am ashamed of. Utterly. It haunts me to this day.
When I was in my early 20's I was a gym rat. I was a super buff M'effer (could curl 80lbs with right arm). And I was STOOPID.
My buddy and I were driving to our local community college to take our evening engineering courses. Some dipweed runs right up on my azz and I didn't move. He had no way around and I pissed him off royally. Well when he got a chance to run around me, he did... cut in front of me and slammed on his brakes. To make a long embarrassing story short, I chased him on and off exits from the freeway bumping his rear bumper over and over at excessive speeds. I finally got in front of him and forced him to the side of the road. He exited his car in a "I give up, hands in the air" stance and I stoopidly grabbed a club weapon out of my car and fast walked towards him. If it wasn't for my buddy grabbing me and talking sense, I would likely have gone to jail for quite a long time. When I came to my senses, the whole other side of the free way (50+ yards across the grass median) had come to a complete halt.
I have never forgot that day and will never repeat it. And I will preach to others to not do what I did. I am ashamed.
Matt mate...we all have done bad things. Some got away with it and some didn't... I think that we could share a 'how stupid have I been thread'...
Oh man, I could fill a thread like that... so many things I wish I'd done, done differently, or not done at all...
That's why they pay us for doing our job. If it was so damn fun, we would do it for free.
Yeah. Tends to happen when you are salary too. Many a manager ends up making less than their subordinates if you add up the actual hourly rate.
Thanks for the warning. Once I figure out where in North Carolina you live, I will avoid that part of the State!My people tolerance is at an all time low. Liars and thieves have made me mad.
