what? what? what? what? what?
wait i just saw the troll faces. confused.
So I got a call from a manager at work..idk what one because where I work simply has too many managers and it seems like they just throw random letters in front of manager in their title.
Anyway, they called because I wanted to know why I didn't get the apprenticeship. He told me that looking at reviews from managers he said there is no doubt that I am the hardest worker there but 1 manager put down that I didn't fix any issues and let PI's go into red zones all of the time. umm absolutely false, I can fix issues with the machines in my area better than most apprentices and full timers. He said I had an issue with their whole business model or whatever, its all stupid shit. So I told him, well i thought I was the only one in my group that had a 5s area, i did my shift notes, i tracked my PI's, I helped everyone out, I was the only one to max out my hours. He basically went into a stutter and it went into awkward silence.
I know the manager that probably wrote that about me and hes new, a douche bag, an idiot and favored the kid that got hired over me who basically had a bed in the breakroom.
that really sucks man :/QuoteSo to sum it up, I will leave as soon as I can and I have a few options at my disposal.
good. i'd do the same. i'd be out of there real quick. fu*k those environments.QuoteJob 1: I would live out of a suitcase, never be home, wont get to workout really, maybe a few days a week if i can get near a gym at a job site. But, I will make an assload and within 5 years I could start a business without taking out a loan since I wont have to pay for housing, gas, etc etc
Job 2: I am looking into the International operator engineer union where I will be an apprentice and learn how to run heavy equipment such as excavators, dozers, cranes, aspestos removal etc etc where I will travel for work but probably wont be as bad as job 1 and still make really good money
Job 3: I will basically have a normal shift and work hours, no travel, decent pay but if they crack down on ethanol id be fucked.
job 4: federal job, be able to go to school to become a PTA and I could be a PTA and do this job in any state that my license would allow.
Not gonna lie, i like job 4 the most since if I could, Id definitely move to like tenesee or something.
#1 is probably a bad idea.. no loan is cool, but, probably more worth it to have a more normal work/life environment. you won't have as much time to plot I imagine, you'll just be in a non-stop grind from the sound of it. also: no gym/working out? come on bruh, not a viable option for you IMHO.
the rest of the options all sound decent. #2 sounds kind of cool tbh, for someone who is into that. dno.QuoteAnyway, just needed to vent and type this out, moral of the story is, you can bust your ass and be the hardest worker in a business but a group of people who never set foot out onto the production floor decides your fate.
yup.. really sucks when other people (if they suck) control your fate.
that's why I like that you've got this idea of starting a gym/business in your head. eventually if you become your own boss, you will probably be extremely happy. most of these job posts/rants you do always involve these external factors potentially keeping you down.QuoteAlso, next week I might suck it up and go for a half marathon on a treadmill or just set my time to 2.5 hours on the track and just wear my watch even though its not totally accurate and stop when it hits 13.1 miles or 2.5 hours.
find an actual half marathon maybe. you'll complete it.
peace!!
Yeah true, it's looking like I might work at the post office and go back to college to be a PTA. That way I can open a gym and see if i can find a PT that wants to set up shop at the gym.
Today was a disaster, season 2 of making a murderer came out and I'm working an overnight so it was game over.
If i get into the post office job, there is a town where there isn't a gym and they have to drive either 15 mins to my town or 15 mins the other way to get to a gym. Even if i have to start out small I could try to start one up there.
Halloween movie review
It was pretty awesome, felt like a mix of the original and Rob zombies version. Well it was way more like the original feel with a hint of Rob zombie.
Anyway, the movie kicked ass but the people in the theater are fuck faces. Right from the start these troll ladies just kept yapping the fuck away. Not too far into the movie when the guy shows Michael his mask and says "I brought something for you michael." She yelled out what a teddy bear. I turned around and said, can you seriously shut up. I got called an asshole but up until the end they for the most part remained quiet. As I was leaving I got called a Jerk but they looked like textbook definition of white trash so there was no point in responding.
but those people were also being assholes.So I got a call from a manager at work..idk what one because where I work simply has too many managers and it seems like they just throw random letters in front of manager in their title.

squat and deadlift are starting to feel good again. That is some progress!
Trautmann says the training he did 20 years ago is very similar to the training he does today, partially because Gagliano’s coaching philosophy has not changed. He does, however, run his recovery days slower.
“I run very slow, but I also run hard three days a week. I can’t recover unless I run 8- to 9-minute pace,” Trautmann says.
He does most of his recovery runs in Central Park or, during the winter, on the treadmill, due to his dislike of the cold.

I had been on and off this few week, with Jump and Squat. I try to squat at least twice a week and jump as often as i can at lunch.
This time around, I felt a little different with a different mindset. Over the pass years, I had been following premake program, as well as program designed from buddies on this site, and also program designed by professional over the web ( Jackw, and Taiwanese Jump coach).
They are all similar in a sense that I need to do 3 set of 8 with various exercises from 5 to 10 different variation. Even with Rest, the ground contact is at least 200+ time. Further more, because there is no actual COACH to watch me, the closest thing was I actualy filmed most if not all my exercise and sent it to the Taiwanese coach. And i am not even sure if those boring footage was watched.
This time around... i cut down on variation and rep or set.
I only do exercise like single leg chair jump, depth drop, depth jump and on stationary stand still jump. And i rest between reps.. i do like 6 reps... may be 8 depend on how i feel..
What i want to FOCUS is on... quality.... not quantity. I want to make sure I am doing triple extension with max effort... instead of... grinding jump after jump for 3 set of 10... with 15 sets to follow...
I dont know if things will be different. I am not on any program or any phs for now. I just squat to maintain or get back my strength and jump as often as i could... with that mindset.
just refuse to give up but this time.. i am really listening to my leg muscle instead of some written plan.

Intervals- 4x600m with 60s rest
-10 min warm up and 10 min walk to cool down
Haven’t had a drink now for nearly 2 weeks and have only drank a handful of times in the last 8 weeks. Feeling pretty solid about that now. Not that I had a drinking problem (doesn’t everyone say that) but when I do drink I don’t do the stuff that allows me to get fitter, better, stronger, etc like eat properly, stretch or go to bed on time. Anyway, that’s now out of the way but I have let the bodyweight creep up a bit out of compensation. I.e. worry about one thing at a time. I’m hovering around 94-95 and really want to get back to the 90ish range with the potential to go under. Not going on a huge cut but will be more mindful of my eating over the next 4-6 weeks and see if I can’t get some good progress. I don’t feel that heavy but I do notice it in my suit pants and also when running and jumping. Also because #summer.
