Thank you for the suggestion, even that one is very expensive, especially for it being an “on tool” one. It would be a good idea if it was only $40, but it’s about $150 less than one of the big ones. It’s insane how expensive the things are!

I wanna try to get my dad’s shop vac back from my brother, but when I asked him about the Dremel tool my dad said he left there, he became an abusive prick and went on one of his crazy dysfunctional rants. He claimed he doesn’t have it, didn’t even bother to look, just started spewing nasty things out of his mouth, all because I asked about a Dremel!!! I’m afraid to ask for the shop vac, he doesn’t even use it.

I’m seriously considering going for the dust extractor. My dad won’t like it, he’s pissed about the shop vac… But the dust extractor should be made to run for hours at a time, I keep reading that the shop vac really isn’t meant to do that.

Man, I’ve seen those extractors for $800 +!

I have a brother in law… Dunno where he went to school for it, but he’s a professional asshole.

If there was an Olympic game for assholes, he’d be disqualified for being over qualified!

Early '80’s we backed our computers up to tapes. Internal, not external. He asked to borrow mine and I said as long as it’s here by noon Sunday, sure. That’s when I do my backups. His church was only a couple miles from my house, so he said no problem. Should have known better.

Sunday, 1:00 pm. No backup yet. Called, sister answered, asked what was up, says she doesn’t know… I ask her to ask him to call me. 2 pm, no call, called him, he’s in the garden, she says. Me: Did you all go to church today? Her: Of course we did. What kind of people do you think we are?

So, you were within a couple of miles from me and you decided not to keep you promise. Her: I don’t know anything about it. Me: Tell him if I don’t here from him within the next 30 minutes, we’re going to have a problem. Her: Snorts.

30 minutes later, I call. Say’s she doesn’t know where he is. Me: Okay, have it your way!

Every 2 minutes, I called, she says to stop calling, 2 minutes later, again. And again… 20 times maybe? He finally answers and asks me to “Stop fucking harassing us!” Me: I will as soon as my drive is here. Him: Why, it broke. Me: How did you break it? Him: It didn’t, the receptacle for the power broke of when I removed it.

Me: Oh, so that’s how you broke it. back and forth calls ME an asshole a few times.

Finally I’m done playing with his head making him angry, I say, well, I’m willing to split the cost, “WE” can see if there’s an external drive. Him: I ain’t paying for that POS. Me: Then “let’s” get a good one that we can share easily.

Good old days when you could slam the phone down on the cradle. Which is what he did after calling me a fucking asshole.

Asked the wife what kinda church she thought they attended. She was a deacon at her church. Says, “The Church of Hypocrisy?”

I was wondering the same thing. 'Specially the job search. Don’t loose heart, girlfriend!

Have you had that 2nd interview yet.

I didn’t work on it a couple days because it’s been cold. Now I’ve got the door glued up!!! I was going to take pictures yesterday but I was too lazy to run upstairs and get my phone. I’m gonna be playing with my new $32 jigsaw today after I cut and screw on the door supports.

Unfortunately, I think the planks may have warped when I sanded them. Regardless I still believe it will look nice and serve it’s purpose. I need to put in some back braces on the cabinet now too. I’m gonna straight screw it into the wall since the door feels a little heavy. I gotta stain and poly the door first. For that I definitely need warm weather.

My last interview felt like it went really well, haven’t heard anything back at all. I sent a thank you email, and I asked for the managers email, never heard back. To me that’s a bad sign. I have another phone interview today. Hopefully that one goes somewhere.

HOLY MOTHER OF FUCK.

I had an interview for the job of… A PARTS PICKER.

AFTERWARDS THERE WAS AN ASSESSMENT THAT HAD FUCKING CALCULUS PROBLEMS ON IT.

THE MOST ABSOLUTE ENTRY-LEVEL JOB, LITERALLY ALMOST ANYBODY CAN DO. ( I’ve been totally surprised by people’s inability to do simple things.)

FUCKING CALCULUS AND ALGEBRA?! I’m applying for parts picker not a fucking mathematician!!! You seriously got to be kidding me!!! Then it asks these advanced English questions, with words I’ve never used in my life. What the actual fuck.

I just threw it at the at that point, I said fuck this. Gave random answers, by the end I didn’t even try. I’m not going crazy over solving insane equations that I don’t understand, just so I can get rejected from a job.

Looking good :+1:, & by the looks of it, if you ever needed any extra space in the future you might even be able to add a small shelf to the inside of the door inbetween the initial shelves inside?
So whats left to do now then, just stain, hinge & hang???

Cant believe that, fucking calculus & algebra for a job as a picker, wow, i have never used any of that in all my life,lol. Here in the uk you could literally walk in & tell the interviewer that you are a full blown crack head & cant count to 10 & theyd still hire you,lol… Fucking calculus for a job as a picker, jesus. I hear its not as lenient over in canada as here in the uk, like if you cant get a job/rely on benefits over there, & you are basically on a time limit ? Not sure how accurate that is? Just what i heard. Over here you can literally tell the benefits departments to mind their own fucking buisness & just give you money & they will, for life if thats what you desire, zero time limits or really any sort of regulations/restrictions etc,lol, i mean i know people that have been on it since they were 18 & never worked a day in their life, nor have any desire to. Sad really.
Hope you find something soon though.
:v::heart:

Edit - i actually meant canada & the US btw

Don’t give up hope on the 1st company. I did my due diligence when hiring. Often took more than a couple months. I’m gonna pay someone the $$$ worthy of a cyber security analyst, I’m not hiring lightly.

Hound them. And hound them. Back when I worked at a factory in the early 60’s some kid hounded that company. They said, “screw it, hire him. I’m sick of hearing from him. We can always can him.” Later they did.

Hell, call them up. Remember I said… “Know why you should hire me? Because it’s in my best interest that your company succeed”. I’m gonna hound you on that until you try it. ONE time. Then you’ll have a job! Email them telling them you checked them out at the BBB, and googled reviews of that Co., and that you REALLY want to be a member of a team such as theirs.

50 years of experience in the work field. 25 +/- in hiring/firing. Trust me.

May I ask what your field of expertise is? Or what your INTERESTS are?

Hay, wait a minute!!! It just came to me! My wife made good money, she was some coordinator for heart valve replacements, open heart surgery, she taught Advanced Cardio-logical Live support… I sold a business for a bundle that would choke a chicken.

She can spend $$$$$$$ on shoes, fingernails, blue hair cuts, clothes… Waterford lead Chrystal glassware, bone china dishware, real “Silverware”…

I wanna spend a couple hundred on vape pens, a scale, some flavors, Nic salts… I gotta tell her how this investment will save us hundreds on smoking. AND, I might live longer. OH, and that’ll give her more to spend on shoes!

SHIT. I just figured it out! Maybe she doesn’t WANT me to live longer. If I don’t spend money on smoking or vaping, she can buy more shoes!

Seriously, though. I love my wife, Pretty sure she tolerates me. Dutch, is all. Why buy soft leather shoes when you can make them from wood,

I think you’re awesome, without even knowing you i 100% know that you definitely at least deserve the chance to prove yourself to a company. If you havent already, maybe put a little CV(not sure if you call it that over there?) Or portfolio kinda thing together detailing what your strong points are, what you’re good at, what you can/have achieved, any previous jobs etc, photos of some of the work you have done, ie that woodwork for a start (& using scrap/salvaged wood mind) & maybe other odd jobs/decorating/diy you may have done in your home or anywhere else, anything really? Maybe that would help you stand out a little from the rest? But i do hope you find something.

I wondered!

Knew a guy that lived with the girl he had a kid with. She had a spare room where he kept his clothes, and his hygiene products. She got Welfare (money for rent, food…etc.) and he had a GOOD job! Just gotta know how to play the system.

Whaaat?!!! How did any others get the job? 6.6 people out of 100 are unemployed there. 4.01, here.

WHY would a company do that? The City I live in is called the cowboy capital of the world. Nothing but beef ranching here. Want a hamburger? Order one. You’ll get a chicken sandwich. If a grade school drop out can get a job without knowing calculus…

The fuck are they thinking?

I’m thinking if this pisses ME off so much, y’all must be outraged!!! From what I was just reading it looks like it’s not going to get better anytime soon. Speaking to the choir… :hot_face:

I had tried to cut out hearts with my jigsaw, I was super disappointed because they were all ugly. Then I discovered what the orbital sander could do! Fun.

Holy, crap! I have one. Never knew it could do that. Never had a reason. I love it!

I should have a yard sale to get rid of some of my tools. TF am I gonna use a miter saw for? Last time I used it was probably 15 years ago. Pulled up all the carpet and laid vinyl planking. Replaced all the base boards. Architectures here think the archways with some kinda “bump-out’s” are cool. These bump-outs are rounded. 22.5 degree cuts. Pain in the ass.

Good job, kiddo!

Edit:

Oh, and I can’t use a jigsaw for shit either.

Yeah, I didn’t actually realize how much material orbital sander could remove. I hold a little hearts in my hand and with the slightest, tiniest touch it removes quite a bit of wood. Sat there for about 20 minutes gently running the wood across the orbital sander with my hand. I don’t really think it’s meant to be used that way but, hell it works.

Well I was waiting for the stain to dry, I started building a little shelf thing, and before I did that I was bored and didn’t know what to do so I resurfaced this carpenter’s square. It was super rusty.

All right… I kind of skipped a step and didn’t remove the glue with the sander after I glued this up. By the time I put the stain on it was too late. I just tried to hand sand it off but… Since this thing is just for me, I’m going to leave it like it is and just say it “has character.”

If I was making something for someone else I’d be a lot more picky and thorough that’s for sure.

I’m going to need to get some braces on the back of the shelf part, and this is going to have to be screwed into the wall. The door ended up being way heavier than I thought it would, I’m pretty sure those planks are totally different wood than what I used to build the frame. I’m hoping the door isn’t too heavy for the decorative hinges, I might have to get larger ones.

On the outside it’s pretty cool look super “rustic.”

Oh shoot, I don’t know if I’m ready to make something like this to sell lol. You can’t see all the imperfections in it like in person. I still can’t really cut straight, some of the boards end up being warped too. :skull_and_crossbones: It looks cool, but it’s really rough lol. (The door is a little crooked…) It was my first learning experience though, so I’ll give myself a break on that.

That door would ideally be for a larger cabinet. It’s too heavy for what I’m building, I’m gonna make it work though.
