What happened to the job you had as a marine hvac specialist?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
That... I got fired...

Yes I was at fault, but it was blown way out of proportion...

Basically I got fired for cutting my finger. It wasn't bad at all... But because I wasn't wearing gloves, it was a safety issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
My truck was stolen 2 days after I was terminated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Basically, the rule is. If you get injured, no matter how small, tell a manager. Doing the right thing, I informed my manager. His manager happened to be walking by and forced me to go see the safety guy who is also second in command at the company...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ShapesBlue:
Yea I got cut on my left pinky finger bad enough where I had to go to the ER and it required stitches. Everyone asked how I did it well it happened at work and it was no fault of my own. Thankfully it wasn't blown out of proportion. NY state handles things in a much different way, they can fire you for any reason at any time and not even have to tell you why you were let go

We had a guy pull out in front of a cement truck in his company vehicle while at a job site.

He failed to look both directions when pulling out and the truck nailed him.

He lied and said the truck was going around 70 MPH.

If that was the case, he'd be dead. The computer inside the cement truck said it was moving at 42, and made impact at 38.

The company vehicle was brand new at the time and a full package work Truck worth about $55k. It was completely totaled.

He should have been fired for the incident as this was not the first time he was in a vehicular accident with him at fault.

He got another brand new 2015 Ford F-250, and kept his Foreman position.

The company took a hit on insurance, his medical bills and the truck.

Yeah...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ShapesBlue:
Ouch. I've been in a small accident with a work Truck but it was a loooong time ago. I pulled out of the parking lot and didn't look to my right, it was a one way street and bam a car hit me. Nothing major but man I always look both ways, sometimes twice.

No... He goes to the same church as most of the managers.

But... That's how they do things. You can screw up, do absolutely no work and cost the company thousands upon thousands of dollars... As long as you are in that group, you are safe. That company is going to crap... They hire the most idiotic people possible, and the people that are actually worth a crap get fired over stupid stuff or quit because of stupid stuff.

It's at will employment in Indiana, but the way unemployment works it discourages companies from firing for no reason. I got unemployment for wrongful termination and the company has to pay a portion... They couldn't produce any paperwork and I refused to sign anything when they fired me, corporate takeover... It was still only 75% of my pay though and you gotta jump through hoops to keep it... Only took me 4 months to get a job.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ShapesBlue:
Its always a percentage at least in NY. It's funny though that they always seem to ask you why you were let go and most of the time you have no clue

From my S3 on Wicked 4.3
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
They called me in the middle of dinner, 3 hours after I got off. Told me "sorry but we're gonna have to let you go." I asked why. "The CEO saw an opportunity and decided to take it." All two weeks after they fired half my coworkers and told me I was the best worker there and they were going to keep me and put me in charge... Smh.

From my S3 on Wicked 4.3

My current job has a 3 write up rule (certain things like a no call no show are automatic termination) and it resets every year. They understand that people make mistakes... We also have to report every injury because we have an on staff nurse. It sucks, every little cut... I've lied a couple times and said it happened at home lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ShapesBlue:
Yea our policy is very similar. I've cut myself at work a lot, small cuts I just put a band aid on and keep going. Thankfully we don't have a nurse at our place, being on overnight shift we wouldn't anyways.

Anyway.

My story on my hookah.

A really good friend of mine from the Army was part of the assault on Uday Hussein's palace.

That very hookah was taken from the palace as a "war trophy".

When he was getting ready to leave germany, I was helping him pack all his stuff. Came across the case with the hookah in it and he asked me if I wanted it. Basically, he was scared that he wouldn't be able to get it back to the states.

I obviously had no trouble.

Any way, thats some history on the hookah.

I have all the original pieces and even the foil that came with it.

That black electrical tape is because one of my rats decided to chew a small hole through the hose. Did the same thing to my wife's hookah hose. We got hers at a local tobacco shop.

I gotta say. There is nothing like a hookah session.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drunk0Nwater:

Any of you guys know if I can use an unlocked att s3 on verizon? When I put a verizon sim card in, originally it shows up with network and lte for less than 30 seconds. I have tried inputting apns but they aren't saving and when I search for network providers it finds verizon again connects momentarily and drops to no signal again. Is verizon reading the mied and kicking it off their network?

Sent from my SS ROMed S5
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ShapesBlue:
It has more to do with the fact that verizon isn't a true GSM carrier, more CDMA. It's probably not recognizing the network or very briefly as you noted. Verizon has one of those odd backwards not so compatible networks where most phones don't or won't work at all. The bring your own device option to verizon rarely works

From my Wicked S3 on SOKP
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mkfryan:
Well while it shows data and network I can use it. Until it switches to no signal that's why I wonder if verizon is kicking it from their network.
