I got two birds on tonight with veggies! Nothing fancy but I wanted to try out the new 18qt roaster

Awesome!!!

 

360° flip flop?

They came full circle??

I get about 90% of my gear there. Best store we have around and the owners are awesome!

and the drive from Fort Frances/ RR area is great until you leave the water then the drive to T Bay is pretty brutal. except for that one gas station that has a great store as well. found some good wool pants for winter/ bush wear there.

On the left hand side of the highway with a huge house one the right side?

So, the Royals eh?

back to Blue Lk, yes sir I can see what you mean. My wife has asked me several times about taking pictures of food to put on a fishing website. She considers it bizarre behaviour, which even though she EXPECTS eccentricity from me, she considers this is one step past that.

 

so GOOD LUCK!

 

Doug

I get the looks from the wife too!

And the kids tease me haha

Well I hope this loosens them up and builds up the confidence!!!

Way to go Jays!!!!!!!

We need a canadian version on ron paul IMO

Company 1 overtime after 44(no working days off)

Company 2 overtime after 55(work any unscheduled shift ya want)

Wifey stayed home today so we could look at all options.

Im taking the new job.

Thank you all for your input?

This place rocks!

Those who say time is money are deceiving you. You can make more money but you can never make more time!!

If ya read the whole thread, its basically boiled down to this

Company 1 less pay and contract work/no stability. Full benefits 5 on 2 off schechule

Company 2 $6/raise, 2 hours paid travel time(even though its the same site 25 mins away) more stability and 6 on 3 off schedule, full benefits

This mine is just opening. Its not operational as of yet

I can still post on OFC lol.

Only from my truck during my downtime.

Once im outta the truck no cell phones and never any pictures.

Some of the labourers hate our jobs because we basically sit and watch them work. Ill admit it feels bad.

Same as when i was in a safety consultant in the oilfields.

So I just get out and chat with them, bust some jokes, grab em waters etc. Thats all im permitted to do.

And its not necessarily engineering im doing. Its surveying for engineering companies. Im no engineer thats for certain lol

Awesome dan!!!!

Well executed!

No but i can get radio

And listening on radio is awesome!

Dunno about you fellas, but I can't seem to stay concentrated on work and I keep glancing at the clock every 15 minutes. lol

Your not alone!

Biggest game of the year and im stuck following it on my score app ?

The older I get the more home time and personal time are important to me. If I was 20-25 I'd do pretty much whatever I could to earn top dollar. Now? Not so much.

From 18 to 27 or 28 I chased the dollar, chased overtime like tou wouldnt believe, but I was smart about it.

I basically bought nothing and invested.

My dad told me one thing that always stuck in my head, "if you cant pay for it in cash with one weeks pay, you cant afford it".

Now the obvious exceptions are house and vehicle

If you read through the thread however, im not chasing money, im trying to work longer.

The company im at now can pull out of this mine at anytime.

The offering company is there at least a few years

And the mine is a 25 min drive from home so I dont need to stay in camp for either job?

Detroit, it's all about the scouting.

Easily the best in hockey.

Someone remind what datsick and zetterburgh went in the draft? ???

 

 

hahaha, imagine if that was a test to see how dedicated you were lol ? new job offer now sounds better if you get paid for travel time !

Yeah thats what my wife though as well???

Dirty HR tactics.

Still undecided really but lotsa good posts here to help me ponder it over?

"What to do".. go fishing !! That's never made anyone an idiot. A liar maybe, but not an idiot.

 

Like the single hockey and baseball threads, maybe time for one political thread only around here.... considering none were ever allowed before.

I agree

Your the man!!!

Also new to me. I was told OT doesnt start until 55 hours because its considered"road work" at least at this point.

Maybe laws have changed? Or havent???

Last i knew it was anything over 44 hours, anything on weekends, any unscheduled time, and 4 hours for any call in

Any insight here?

I have the labour laws book bit its tucked away in a box somewhere lol.

^^^ sad but true

?

Sorry guys I didn't bother to read the responses because I don't think this is a question no one else but Rick can answer himself. The only person he should take advice from on a decision like this is his wife.

Lol

My wife isnt perfect either, she has a cozy desk job????.

And OI, remember i consulted you when I started my current position for thoughts?

Its just good IMO to get some outside thoughts in case im over/under looking things

Like the tax post that was news to me!
