What we doing today?

Oh, hey!

Auditing poop. Like I do most days.

Still job searching?

Yeah. But all the contracts out there are vax-required, so that does put a damper on things.

German - the hock and spit language.

Just clear your throat angrily and you're speaking German.

Oh, and if you're gonna say something simple like "pen", make sure the word is actually a sentence describing the pen.

There was one contract assignment out there that was available, but it pays half what I’m making now, so I’m not exactly interested.

Ive learned that anything we reject as unsatisfactory to our standards gets shifted to a commercial project. So not all commercial material is shit, but some definitely is.

If the first two trucks of concrete show up at a road or bridge pour and the inspectors test the material and it fails....they dont drive back to the plant and pour it on the ground a try again, they say "hey we have a warehouse floor in a couple hours, just keep the drum spinning until its time to drive over there and dump it at that job"

I see it the most at the concrete recycling crushers* I inspect. If a pile is full of dirt, insulation, rebar, or brick, and I reject an entire pile they say "ok, we've got a commercial parking lot coming up we can put this shit under"

Commercial customers really get fucked without knowing it.

So if I set these chicken wings in the fridge on the 13th, they were totally frozen.

Probably thawed by the 16th, if not sooner.
