Lol. I'm not buying plywood I'm making it. I'd gladly work at a pot factory too if they paid the same. Maybe if plywood was illegal I'd have been a carpenter?:scratch: You did only quote half my post about 'frig big business'. If you'd quoted the whole thing it'd be more obvious that it was a...

Is 140mph 225kph? My bike is capable of a good clip faster than that, that's for certain. :/:

I only enjoyed it when it was illegal. F-ck big business. I guess I'm just a outlaw at heart. Lol. Jim nailed it a bit too. I'm very into biking. Which takes razor focus.

Negative. No smoke enters these lungs except for veneer dryer smoke. Lol.

Not me. I had my fill. I'm moving into the mid life shit now. Focus on my health.

Jeebus? Sheesh? Maybe you neeed the toke big Jim?:P

This thread makes me chuckle. Piss tests aren't a normal or regular thing where I work. Only if you frig up bad or someone's suspects you of being high or drunk. But still the same. I'd lol if I got pulled to do one. Guess what all you freedom lovers? I'd get paid to go do it. Lmao. Full union...

I'm a clean machine so no worries here. But I've heard at work if you piss positive the worst that happens is you get a trip to rehab or counselling. No losing your job. Zero f-cks given by me. Because it's not my worry. I don't lightly trust my well being to others straight or not. So what...

If you can't beat a drug test you don't deserve to be in the union. :drink:

Seems all unions/benefit packages are slightly different but overall similar. We don't have a 'slush fund'. But 80% coverage of the first $1000 use of benefits and then 100% coverage after that. Meaning we pay $200/year deductible and that's it. we have some limits on massage, chiro, acupuncture...

Everyone does in our plant. My union dues are $90/month cdn. Just a cost of being employed. ime so far the benefits outweigh the cost. But I'm sure like anything. There are people making bank off being 'employed' by the union for this that and the other. I very much enjoy the union umbrella of...

Neither do we obviously, plywood plant. Used to be IWA in these parts, but absorbed into steelworkers. I heard at work last night that we just ratified our contract. So that means a bonus, raise and a year of backpay to top up the wage increase from when the last contract ended. I guess my...

We are in the same union brother 1-423. :drink:

Levi, I found in short time the sweep business had a lot of what burnt me out on the tree business. Customers. Y'all can have em. I'm done dealing with Joe public. I'm not so much a people person, unless it's the right people.

It's not bizarre. To me anyways. I find ways to keep busy. ;)

Correct. Usually I work straight through one week and the weekends before and after. And then for the following three weeks I only work the weekends. But I can pick and choose. Like last week I did four days and this week I'm picking up the fifth day (tonight) and then after my two weekend...

I'm not sure if you had vamoosed before or after I sold my tree business(was lucky to be able to do so) , f-caked around for a bit chimney sweeping and then went to work at a local plywood mill. Union, great pay, benefits, pension. Zero stress. Such a flip from being self employed. Now I worry...
