looks like the same picture on Netflix

  I have to second this.  I really enjoy learning anything about the wars our country has been in.  When I saw the title of this, I thought it was going to be some cheesy low budget fictional BS.   However I only had minor disagreements with it and over all I highly recommend it.    Watched it a month ago, advised co workers to watch it.  Don't know why I didn't advertise it here.   My Hat's off to you Pete123

That seems to be a retelling of a joke I heard as a kid.   First they shot the Coke and Pepsi machines.  Then moved on to the gas pump.

Nailed it.

give an inch and they take a mile.

This is going to be a long list.

WTF,  I just heard.   http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/26/us/virginia-shooting-wdbj/index.html

Hey, I am just happy the Earth moved for all the women out there.

  Every expert I talked to recommended against me selling stock and paying off my house.   However I sold stock, paid off my house and had a new roof put on.    Not going to lie, this hasn't been a good year for my wife and I, but with out having the house payment helped, we were able to use that money to not get behind on other medical bills. 3 operations in 1 year, we didn't see that coming.

Fitty, another Idea would be someone playing Call of Duty and calling out a head shot over their head phones and break into that.

  So, what does he propose they did every time someone is pretend murdered in a movie?  Kill a director or a writer?

So, what you guys are telling me is to Sell all my Stock in Memphis.

Was probably all the Confederate soliders rolling over in their graves at the state of affairs.

Can't move to much around 2 fast when it is mostly in 401.  However I checked I haven't been hit much at all, not much over normal ups and downs.

when I first looked I thought the same,  Starting at the head, but the back legs and tail don't match. then when looking at the legs and tail a bit more the head doesn't seem big enough for fox either.   I am with the crowd it is a Black Panther or a cat.

OS, my first thought when I started reading was that Twilight Zone episode.

Idiot took a machine gun to a US Marine fight.

BigK, sorry how that hit you as well.  I have seen people blindsided before but doing it in an email like that is really bad.     Yea, some of that came up in my last review.    I need to take some tests and get some certs this winter. They like Certs more then working knowledge or experience. I have seen people with certs I wouldn't trust to turn on a PC.

Right, I might not like it and not much I can do short term.  However I can plan and try to make things better.  My current short game is to get some more experience in my new job responsibilities to build my resume. Pay off a few bills though this winter.  I know I won't get my pay this close to home for sure.   Try to find a better job at the company outside of the Org I am currently in would be my best.  So I could keep my 10 years of service.   Like I said, had to vent a little, but not doing anything to get myself in trouble.  I guess I am 2 responsible for that.

You have a good opportunity to drive home safety with them.  I took the Class when I was 10, 30 years ago and I still remember it. I probably remember it better then some years of School.     Just promise to not do this.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7ufT_6Kgy0

Wish  I could, I like excuses to go to Nashville, but still paying for the last trip.

Just had to vent a little.  Our at work team got this notice today.   Work is starting to require 7 or more weeks advance notice for a scheduled day off depending on the day and our the calendar falls.   Extreme example Dead line to request a day off is the 18th of a month prior month.  So even on the 19th you find out you need to ask for the 30th of the following month off (about 7 weeks) it will be an unexcused absence. Nothing directly happened to me on this.  Over the past 10 years there has been an unenforced attendance policy.  Now instead of enforcing it, they are creating a whole knew one that is much worse.   Fine if you want the 1st off, you have just 12/13 is all the notice you really have to put in, but the further out it is, the more notice you need. Plus there is a standing policy of no requests more than 2 months in advance.    Guess it does take management and Excel to really mess things up.     That is a pretty crappy policy when it only takes 2 weeks to give notice.     This policy seems to be  enacted solely on the small team of about 25 people I work with out of a internal company with thousands of employees. I am going to dig into Corp Policy and find out what it says as they drill ethics in to each of us worker bees.   Someone said it in another thread, jobs don't get better, they get worse over time.   I believe I am in a prime example.  Been there 2 long, need to explorer some options while keeping out of the fireworks I am sure this is going to cause. Just started training more with AD and a few things that will be a good resume booster, so I need to stick it out for some experience.  Knowing and experience are 2 separate things.   Get more experience, hands on and advance or form a viable exit strategy.

Corporate America will now say they did it to prevent a mass shooting if anything comes up.  Best to look for a better opportunity now and learn from this.

KY has had a parking allot bill for years.  A very good one.     http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/kentucky.pdf       Murgatroy sent you a PM, possible idea.

I don't use twitter much but if that is the official one I would follow it.  Could but useful to get very important news out as long as not used like many other twit accounts just talk about every little thing to the point of being of no value.
