It is rude as hell but I've gotten over it. Gotta pick your battles.

Just wanted to make sure I'm not just being overly sensitive about it, lol.

What is annoying to me is "Job Applications " on line! First I'm an old shit(63) and have been retired now for three years . I feel like getting back into the work force but now all applications are "on line" and demand resumes.
I have gotten every job I have ever interviewed for in person in my life.........everyone. I walk into place's and talk to people and they tell me all our hiring in done on line. Place's tell me they need people but I have to go through the "website". I'm not a Doctor or Lawyer I work in Distribution and warehousing .I was in one company talking to a lower level Manager and he asked about my resume...........I told him my age and that I retired from a job I have had for 31 years , that I had license's in all the equipment they use and that I had a degree he said ,..........you might be over qualified. WTF?

I hope I never have to look for a job again. At my current job I was hired w/o having to apply, as the person in charge worked at my former job.

The absolute worst is when you have to do multiple applications and you have to fill out the same shit over and over again. Fucking terrible.

The worst is when you have to submit your resume online and then you still have to go through and fill all your info in anyway.

Ha, yeah, if that doesn't grind your gears, you don't have any gears.

I had one recruiter ask me about my resume and it is pretty self explanatory so I explain my job and duties training and the fact that I was there for 31 years ,so she ask's what about before that?

Seriously, I work for one company for 31 years and she is interested in what I did before that ??? WTF!

Its like my dad ever spring has to till a garden for my mom to overplant a ton of vegetables which they eat like 5% of.....my dad says his garden is his local Kroger/Food Lion store.

What is the start up cost of a homebrew set to get going? Id like to get into it at some point. My uncle in southern Maryland has brewed for 30 years...he got some great recipes.

I have small one gallon set-ups. My wife got me one a few years ago for Father's Day and it was about $50 but also included ingredients and recipe. I save bottles from beers I drink so I only buy ingredients. Typically I spend about $1 a beer, you can get about 11 to 12 12 oz bottles per a gallon so it can be cheaper than the store. If you get good a 5 gallon set-up becomes really affordable. I do some ciders and they are really cheap for 12 bottles I spend about $6 in supplies. I enjoy the experimentation, plus I support local businesses and the ingredients are cheaper taxes than beer so you can stick it to the state.

When you send an email at work with multiple people CC'd and the person only responds to you. Whether internally or externally, that is very annoying.

[BaltimoreSkins]

Thanks mredskins will check that out. Right now I have a cider growing think it will end up around 10 abv a little higher than I want. Also have a pumpkin ale going first time I bought ingredients online so we will see how that goes.

Things like #heaterp or #wethenorth why the fuck are we dropping verbs from the English language. It is the action it literally tells you what is happening.
