The Whining Thread

Oof, they introduce their own problems, though. Not the least of which is data loss due to weather conditions and twitchy software. One contract I collected all my field data on Rite-In-The-Rain because the FDR's we were given had terrible screens, terrible battery life, and crashed every few minutes. It was better to hand-transcribe the field notes in the office, and hand in both digital and paper data at contract's end.

Well hell ladies and gents. The 8th was my 27th birthday. Got a phone call from my foreman at 1:30am. "Get your gear on, we have a fire in a fell and buck unit, 12 acres on 90% slope ground."

Fighting fire on your birthday is about the best thing you can do. Especially when your birthday is in February.

Finally got back to work after two weeks off. Thought I was going to go crazy after the second day.

However I managed to rip the bottom third of the leg of my rain pants off and the patches I put on my boots fell off before I ran the haywire to the bottom of the strip. Yeah having a slushy in your boots.

Teaching Math in 1990:

By cutting down beautiful forest trees, the logger makes $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the forest birds and squirrels "feel" as the logger cut down the trees? There are no wrong answers.

Teaching Math in 2002:

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $120. How does Arthur Andersen determine that his profit margin is $60?

Your math has made my brain stuff hurt, and caused my thinking sponge pain! . . Jerk! :msp_mad:

If it's any consolation - it makes my brain hurt when I stare at it for hours on end too!

This is what pisses me off about math. Where did the R or the T or the C come from all of a sudden? They weren't there in the first place. My teachers always laughed at me cause i got so frustrated.

Hey, all, guess what? The Owl thing is getting talked about again. No new draconian restrictions yet, but I smell something on the wind, and it ain't mom's home cooking.

Those two are across the corridor from me, in a 6X10 foot cell, they will get two hours a day out of the little box. I wonder where that other guy is? Caymans?

 

[lfnh]

Caymans. The good life. Maybe Alaska. Get lost easy up there.

Wonder how much Spotted Owl surveys they did (supposedly) will be invalidated ?
