I have been stuck here in Shithole, Kalifornia working for 4 fucking months! and after begging and whining and demanding time off I find out that I am going home for 2 weeks! that’s 4 days driving and 1 day training on this 'puter system in Houston, the way I see it that’s 9 days off after 4 months of work!.
Like an idiot I voted for GWB thinking “well, he is a puppet of the oil industry and so am I”, in 12 years I have never seen things this slow, I could not find a job in Houston so I took this low-paying, short-hour, post-hole, shit-stain gig that is 1,854 miles from home.
I don’t get your math here (4 days driving and 1 day working = 9 days off = going home for two weeks?), but why don’t you fly? 1800 miles each way assuming 20 miles/gallon = 180 gallons of gas at close to $2 per gallon has got to be equal to if not more than a round trip flight from SF, LA, or Las Vegas.
I have a bizarre job, I normally? work 84 hours a week (7 days x 12 hours = 84 hours), I used to do that for a few weeks and then get a couple of weeks off. The “new improved” situation is different, fighting for hours, laying around the motel in Shithole, Kali. I have to be back in Kalifornia in 2 weeks so my time “off” will be: 2 days drive home, 1 day of training, 2 days drive back and 9 actual days off = 14 days, I am getting hosed here!. I work so far up in the hills that I have to have a vehicle and the company will pay for plane tickets but WILL NOT pay for a rental vehicle and I get reimbursed for mileage ($.37 1/2 per mile) and motels on the way so the trip doesn’t cost me anything other than time.

I tend to spell California with a K because of the repressive gun and self defense laws, the high for no reason prices, the astoundingly over inflated real estate market and the general state of bullshit and hot air that this state thinks is reality, this place sucks ass!.
Perhaps I should refer to it as “Commiefuckingbullshitifornia”, I got one of those “welcome to Kali” notes from the nice CHP man, 65 MPH. in a 55 zone ($128.00, thanks Kern county), I was cruising with traffic (hwy 58 & Renfro rd., the cop presence was a knee jerk reaction to that kid getting killed a couple of months ago) and I am convinced that I was pulled out of the line of cars because of my Texas license plates, when the cop asked me for my registration I did not know what he was talking about but after a few minutes I determined that he meant license plate tags so I directed him to the sticker on the window and that seemed to piss him off, I guess that being a Texan is a borderline illegal thing here (like it is in Louisiana).
Why is everything so much more expensive here?, this place is as dirty and crime ridden as anywhere else, why do you have to pay a premium to live here?, we have natural wonders in Texas too and it’s the exact same deal as here, you get in the car and drive for a couple of hours to get to the pretty parts.
While I am bitching, I had to leave my gun at home (no out of state CCW in Kalifornia), and I had to remove anything from my car that could be construed as a “baton” because possesion of a baton is a FELONY (be careful coming home from the hardware store), I had to buy a 4 D cell Maglite because the 6 is considered a baton in Kali even working as a flashlight it’s illegal (depending on the LEO’s mood, it’s technically illegal). I hate this fucking place, all it stand for and all it represents.
I liked that scene in “Red Dawn” where the camera zooms in on the bumper sticker on the beat up truck that reads “They can have my gun when the pry it from my cold dead fingers”, then follws the commie soldier as he preid the gun from the gool ol’ boy’s cold dead fingers.
I work with idiots like you every fucking day*. They love to call it “commiefornia” and fucking other stupid shit. THey love to bitch about liberals and “gun grabbers” and high taxes. Look, we don’t want you here. Please leave, and not just for 9 fucking days, either. For good.
I like how you can come here and work and make money here, but disrespect us and the state as a whole. Talking out both sides of your fucking face, like a typical pro-gun type.
Good Riddance, viny. I hope your ignorant ass stays in Texas.

*- I work for one of a handful of 2nd amendment law firms in the state. I find on a day-to-day basis that pro gun people are the least informed, most closed-minded, ignorant(willfully so), and fucking daft groups of people on the planet. In fact, most of these people couldn’t handle a weapon without injuring themselves and later blaming someone else for it. My all-time favorite line: “Assault weapons are illegal? no, this one is registered” Uh-huh. Sure. :rolleyes:
Sam,
The only good side of this Kali deal is that I get to take money out of the state, right now this is the most positive thing that I have going (doing my part to bleed this shithole dry), my company employ’s mostly out of state people because of the freakishly high workers comp premiums in Kali and the fact that the majority of locals won’t do my job because it’s not “eco-friendly”.
As far as your remark about “pro gun people”, it’s not about my rights “as an American”, it’s about self preservation (you know survival instinct) and anyone who wants to make sure that I am unarmed is immediately suspect.
Yes, I know Californians would be treated MUCH better by Texas state troopers. Right? :rolleyes:
Ditto the above…
Um. No. I live in one of the most crime free areas in the U.S. In fact, California has, IIRC, 4 cities in the top 10 “Most desirable places to live in the U.S.” largely due to low crime rates. We certainly do have cities where crime is a concern, but considering the population rates as compared to those of Texas, I’d say we compare pretty favorably.
Awwwwwwwww…poor snookums. Does him not feel like a man without his bang bang?
Great! Don’t let the door hit your backward, knuckle draggin’ redneck ass on the way back to the state where it’s illegal to own more than 3 vibrators, but ok to tote a loaded weapon around.
