*phew!* First week done. What a hell of a week! Mostly stupid people, but alot to do with a co-worker, which I will place in the appropriate forum. Onwards then!
Bat of Hell 4: Bat's Revenge
Normally, I am ok with motorcycles. Never ridden one before, unless you count a moped, but when I work, they annoy me to no end. They will usually wait until they're almost parallel with me and rev the engine to where it makes me jump because I can't usually hear anything above the loud whine and smack of my weed whacker. They of course laugh heartily as they continue on.
NOT A Landscaping Buisness
I can't count how many times in last week that people haeve pulled over and started talking to my SUPs about prices for landscaping. The side of the truck says state transpo. dept., not "Mike's Mowing Service"! No, we will not come and clean up your lawn. No matter how much you pay us. It's against the law for us to mess with anything aside from the state routes. No no no no, a thousand times no, now move out of the way, you're blocking traffic!
Pop Bomb
Car full of high school kids flies by. I ignore it until I feel something hit my back. I turn off the whacker and realize it was a Speedway cup, full of god knows what, which is now all over my back. GRRRREEEEEEAAAAAATTTTTT! It's only about 9:30 in the morning. I don't get off till 3:30pm. Yay me.
Ticks G'lore!
Lately, we've been out and about in the country, hitting those gaurdrails that no one really realizes are there. They are usually located right next to a weed infested river or creek or a patch woods, which means TICKS. I haven't gotten any yet, but my CW A has had three so far. So, keeping an eye out for that, along with a lot of bug spray.
Allergies Suck
I have never had an allergy to anything except Vicodin in my whole life. Then, I start whacking random types of grass and weeds and now I'm hacking and my nose is stuffed all the time. Great time for those allergies to start. *bangs head* So, I guess i'm gonna be hyped up on benadryl at work from now on. Good thing I don't drive!
Random Happenings
- No, you can't just "ride along" in the bed. It's full of very heavy metal signs, not to mention it would be a liability and it's illegal in this state for anyone under 16 to ride in the bed, so quit asking.
- Dido for dumb bikers who ask as well.
- No, we don't know if there is construction in county a hundred miles away. We deal with this county and this county alone. That county isn't even our district for god's sake!
- No, you can not use the whacker. Again, liability reasons. Not to mention you smell like cheap beer at 10:30 in the morning. You need help.
-High water does not mean that the water smoked pot. It means it's high enough that if you try driving through it in your tiny honda, you may.....stall it. *sigh*
- No, we are not responsible to pull you out once you do stall it, because it was your dumbass fault for not heeding the warnings that the signs were brightly proclaiming
-Seriously, stop acting like you're going to hit us. That scares the crap out of us and we could get hurt. I really don't feel like being another little marker out in the worker's memorial site next to the HR building!
I just got to remember, I have a job. Most people don't these days. I was lucky. I must not complain......too much anyway
