Default Payin' the cost to be the boss...

When I arrived at work tonight, I found out that I was the only one from my shift who was going to be in due to the weather. We start at 10:00 and one guy called at 7:00. The younger generation just doesn't have the sand, baby.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.

Nah, they're pansies. If I can make it in, everyone should make it in. I live on the biggest hill.
Just for fun I've been answering the phones "Iron Man Bill speaking. How can I help you?" If they ask why I'm the Iron Man, I tell them that I've never missed a day (night) of work due to the weather in 22 years. Longer than that if you consider the jobs I had in high school and college. Once in 1982 when my car was snowed in I started walking to work. I'd gone about a mile when a Lite beer truck came past driving REAL slow. I took two steps and hopped on. He took me to within 150 yards of work. Took a while, but I actually got to work early. I've always had a soft spot for Miller Lite since then.
Well, for beer in general.

Yep Pansies they are! KIDS!!!! Remember when we walked to work naked uphill both ways hip deep in snow??

My soft spot for beer is also right above my belt. On the other hand, I have an overdeveloped right arm from so many 12 oz curls.

Yes, the elixir of life. Cures what "ALES" you and "ALES" what cures you. Best with pizza or hoagies.
