work

Finally got a week in at the new company, I was expecting to do some work, but my god..... These guys bring on a new level of fucking the dog.

Had 40hrs ish, and only 8hrs of actual work, probably less.
Back home it would probably be 32hrs of work, and 8hrs of dogfucking, or you simply go home if there's nothing going on

My original hiring email said something along the lines of "we are looking forward to you joining our company, and we hope you can make a substantial contribution over your next two months"
Yeah ok.....

On Friday there wasn't much going on, so they sent a third guy, to help me and my coworker, to take gear off a roof.
It took the three of us 20 minutes to get 400lbs off the roof, and then we just talked shit for 3 hours.
Honestly it's painfully to sit around this much, but I guess these guys are useto it. It's like a roadwork crew in Vancouver, one guy in the hole, and 8-12 guys watching him.

inflation

9$ for a mango, dawg.........
18$ for the cheapest combo at Wendy's

I feel like cost of food is quite high here, vs Vancouver. Then again, in Vancouver min wage is 25% less for grocery store and fast food workers

random other notes

Bear with me, with the below mom-husband-daughter terms, I'm esl

One of the guys I work with, hit the family lotto.
His mom has a newer husband, that husband has several daughters.
Turns out one of the daughters was stealing from his pensions fund, since she watched over it or something. The husband found out and lost it on her. Originally he was going to give the house to the daughters or such, not anymore.
My coworker was in the right place at the right time, and offered to pay off the mortgage, like 200k or something, on a 700k place, and his mom and the husband can keep living there.
The husband took the offer, so my coworker banked like 500k off his mom's husband essentially.
He then used a heloc to buy another house, that went up 150k in the last two years.
Parents are getting old, so he is actually moving in with his mom and her husband, to take care of them.
