Mexicans
I have refrained from critiquing third world antics too much but I have to say something about this.
In my job I often go to brand new construction homes and finish up the installation process. In one particular new 2500 sq ft home I was in a small room installing the ceiling grill when I noticed a strange stench. After I got off of the ladder I looked around and found a coke bottle full of urin, but that wasn't it. There were a couple of other sub-contractors in this house doing some trim work so I mentioned it to them. The one guy said oh yeah. "The Mexicans have been taking dumps in these new homes".
So much for cheap labor. Funny thing is the home that they took a crap in was one of the local builders who hired them in the first place. HAHAHAHAHAHA! Even funnier it was a home he was building for himself. HAHAHAHAHAHA!
You know what though? With all the trouble that builders have had with U.S. labor I wonder if hiring people from the third world who don't know what a port-a-potty is isn't worth it.

Another correction is in order.
The idea that it depends on ones interpretation of the bible to determine the meaning of prophecy is lunacy.
This morning I once again had to hear some whacked out idea based on a particular "interpretation". Some preachers believe that all nations will one day rise up against Israel. Bunk! absolutely nowhere in the bible is it even inferred that the end of this world will include the rising up against Israel.
Why do you people think that Israel has been able to not only hold on but to flourish under the circumstances that they have been put under, considering there has been a tremendous amount of pressure for them to cave if not by God?
How do you idiots think that the temple is going to be built if there is not a Jewish nation?
And what makes you think that there will be some kind of out pouring of hatred against them even after Jerusalem is blasted off the face of the planet? That's right nuked? Right at the temple when the abomination of desolation stands between the pillars. Crack! Flash! Rumble!
Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Mat 24:16 Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains:
Mat 24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Mat 24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
Mat 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
Mat 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
And with what reason do you think the world without God is going to gather it's armies in the valley of Meggedo.
Huh, HUH?! Well? I ain't seen one certified and brevetted preacher or priest get revelations or biblical prophecy right, not one. There must be one out there that makes some sense of this stuff. ONE!
What the hell are the Seminary schools teaching our preachers? S++T. That's what!
I have said this before and I reiterate it again. The educators of our nations preachers and maybe the worlds are nothing but a bunch of pompous, over-educated, nincompoops full of their selves.

The customer is nuts
Do you know why we call a service man to our house? Certainly not because we know how to fix what we want fixed, but because we don't know how to fix what we want fixed. I hate it when a customer starts to grill me about a job I am doing for them; often long before I am finished. What do they think-that when I stop and answer their questions that the clock stops. No! It doesn't. I do like telling them that I answer questions and it is gonna cost them a buck a minute whether I am working on their equipment or talking to them. Which would they prefer.That by the way Steve is why I clamed that my name in Japanese is really Ahhh-so and not what a previous entry of mine said.I don't tend to blame them too much after all most of them are spoiled by the Air-conditioning and now are HOT. Crazy HOT. To which I say have patience because they have just gotten the most persistent and conscientious HVAC tech in this whole region. In fact that may be my main problem. I will try to fix some stuff that should be junked.
Most HOT customers though are pretty well burnt by the time I get there and for some reason don't seem to understand that if they would save the questions until I write the bill that they would get cooooler faster. But NOOO. They have to ask me:Have you found the problem yet? (said with a nasally wine)What is wrong with It? (It is broke I tell them)Do you know what your doing?(which I try from then on to make them feel like I may not just to see them turn blue with fear)How long have you been doing this job?(oh-only since last week, I tell them)How much is it going to cost?(I will tell the next customer that asks that one I have a surgeon on standby for when I finish the work to amputate whatever appendage I deem necessary for payment.)How come it stopped working. (to which I love to say "Oh I don't know, Stuff breaks, gets old, and wears out, people abuse things or it was an act of God".)I know I know I shouldn't be so customer friendly and honest but you know how I feel about lieing. Beside I have always felt that the customer deserves the absolute truth about what I am doing and how I feel about their equipment, after all it is their stuff I am working on. Now if I could just find a way to tell them how I feel about them without making them mad.
For instance one day when a particularly interested customer who insisted that he worked on electronics in airplanes and persisted in trying to tell me how to fix a furnace to which I finally told him to go sit down in the living room I wasn't building an airplane here just wiring up a air handler. The guy freaked and I just don't know why?
How about the time I kept getting called back to the house where a wife with a husband that had alzhiemers kept trying to blame us for her A/C problems until one day I discovered that the husband was going up to the T-stat and shortcycling the unit until it would quit. He had blown up the gas furnace(luckily it was a package unit and the explosion occurred outside). Oh, but no, it was our fault. God...Does that woman know that her life is in jeopardy? NOooo. Can't tell her that either,I tried....... she freaked.
How about the time that I practically saved a woman's life. This is an interesting one. She calls up and says, "if my carbon monoxide detector is going off does that mean my furnace is bad?" I asked,"How do you feel, do you have a headache and feel nauseous?" To which she replied,"Yes I do". I said "Turn off your furnace and go outside immediately and I will come right over". You know when I got there that she was still in the house and still running that furnace. God. Help me have patience with these people. She is a freaking nurse at the hospital. She should have known the symptoms. I checked her furnace and woah. The heat ex-changer was broke and pumping enough carbon monoxide into her house to supply a Nazi concentration camp. I shut it down and then disable it and made her go outside and get some fresh air. Just the couple of minutes I spent in her house made me woosy. She must have been an carbon monoxide breathing alien to still be conscious.C-mon people if you knew how to fix your stuff you would have done it yourself and not called my company.
Get with the program. I know their are schiesters and just plain old morons for technicians out there but are you people so jaded that you can't tell when a sincere technician has showed up to do the work or is their just no hope for America?

Brand New look
Thanks to some jack___ hacker I am going to add/try this new sight for reader comfort and reading. Beside the angry colors may well suit my purpose of commicating my irritations. As I get the time to work on this site I will eventually have transferred all my links and other assorted sundry over here. Who knows maybe I will get a little better at manipulating my template. Dunno.
