So Joe, what type of nuclear experience do you have??? And if you were six months away from retiring for good, wouldn't you have a similar non-chalant attitude as well??? Especially if these folks know that there's more to building a nuke than losing some grays over them the way you are!
Now take a step back for a minute and don't forget to breathe... Then look at everything one step at a time slowly, and without letting it crawl under your skin this time...
If you can't, then walk away from it, because inspection isn't always this way and this job is NOT a microcosm of what to expect at any inspection job from now on - CAPECHE???
So you walked into a clusterf@ck - So WHAT!!! Lesson learned, and the worst is over!!! So now you move one to better things, and not worry yourself anymore with these pukes. ;)
If I wasn't ill, I would love to see the look in their eyes once I announced my own arrival in that animal sanctuary!!! I would simply be singing:"The party's over now!!!" And tell everyone to from a single line if they weren't ready to accept real change and stand in line for their severance pay! ;)
I got such a nice retirement package that my older brother is doing his level best to get in on the package I have @ this retirement home, and he's being blocked at every corner by yours truly because he actually thinks that the two of us will eventually get along in the samw building once the dust settles for crying out loud!!!
Then we have my little sister doing an audible end run around me, or shall I say, attempting one using the guise that my older brother has emphysema and requires a cane to get around and meanwhile has not decreased his clockwork efficiency of each cigarette smoked on a daily basis, and has given me a radical approach to aiding someone to quit smoking via packing industrial grade cement in him orally until he finally quits!!! ;) ;) ;)
I mean I feel like al Pacino did in the last Godfather movie did for crying out loud!!! :( :( :( Here I am trying to retire with some sort of dignity, yet my sister is trying her level best to dump my big brother on me as if I don't have enough of my own problems to concern myself with!!! I'm not letting it happen Brother!!! Not during my final days!!! I'll un-retire and go to work in Kuwait, or some other land far enough away where my sister will not have a clue where I'm at!!! Trust me Joe! Retirement is overrated brother!!! I mean look AT ME!!! I'm not even a month out and everybody wants to jump on board this sinking ship, yet I'm getting off!!! :) :) :) Gee! Don't let the small sh!t get to you Joe!!! G out and have some fun because you only live once and even when you're ready to retire, you may end up with some unwanted guests trying to rain in on your parade for crying out loud!!!
If you run into similar circumstances, tell em all to PHUCK OFF AND WAIT TILL IT THEIR OWN TURN TO RETIRE!!! Keep your head up Joe!!! :) :) :)
In memory of the REAL HEROES WHO DIDN'T MAKE IT BACK AND ARE ON ETERNAL PATROL.
WHO ARE GUARDING THE DISTANT SHORES THEY SACRIFICED WITH THEIR LIVES FOR - SEMPER FIDELIS.
WHO Went up in the sky to sacrifice their lives for us so that we and others could live in FREEDOM!!! FREEDOM IS NEVER REALLY FREE!!! IT'S ALWAYS BEEN PAID BY THE SACRIFICE OF OTHERS WHO WERE WILLING TO KEEP THE DREAM, THE PRINCIPLE, THE VIRTUE ALIVE UNTIL IT WAS ACHIEVED AND CONTINUES TO BE UPHELD!
These same truths are being upheld by the Men and Women who have sacrificed themselves in both Afganistan and Iraq as well as many other places around the planet called "Mother Earth" in the name of FREEDOM... And for those who take that word so non-chalant at times, may I remind you how many have sacrificed themselves so that you could complain about how certain groups of peoples only now get the very basic humanly acceptable treatment, and remember that their sons and daughters, their nephews, their other relatives are also out there fighting for this Nation while being called "Illegal Aliens" who have chosen to fight for this country so that they can earn the right to become citizens also!!! If that isn't enough of a sacrifice ,then I give up in trying to find out what meets your so called standards when in most cases, the complaints come from the very same folks who never served day one in the Armed Forces of this Great Nation of ours!!!
So remember that many a so-called "Illegal Alien" has fought and fought real hard, to the point of performing the ultimate sacrifice,
so that FREEDOM WOULD REIGN ACROSS THIS GREAT LAND WE CALL: "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" in both the past, the present as well as the future!
GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO EVERYONE!!! :) :) :) Man did I ever have to get that off my chest today!!! :) :) :)
Respectfully,
Henry
