      The fecker said first day was easier for me, but tomorrow will be more serious. Yo noob it will take me 2 weeks to get up to speed. I am going to communicate that to him tomorrow, and it is gonna be by manly stand, still face . I will have him schedule a meeting in my calendar before talking to me, if he pushes it. The noob think can push around a contractor, you gotta show them from day 1 who the fack they are dealing with.

      The issue though is that he is closer regionally ( similar province ) to the rest of the perm gang, so I might be taking stand against 7 people tomorrow. I have dealt with worse situations, before that noob was born.

      Decided to write this here, as I know people here know what I am talking about.
      Well said, and we certainly do. Don't let this clown mess you around!

      Just make him dance, while you fire a full handgun clip round his feet, and then shoot him in the chest!

      The only snag is you'll have to cart him away and bury him somewhere, but that's what friends are for.

        I mean... individually the words make sense but the order that you have chosen to put them in is... odd, So I *dont* know what you are talking about.

          Sadly, I could care less.
          You mean couldn't care less. Learn English, boy. Try thinking about what you just said logically.

              Why is it that people can't use English fluently any more?
              I've given up with the Maths part, I really don't expect people to have the slightest knowledge of Maths nowadays, even basic calculus which used to be taught at 16 pre 1990.
              But really one should master one's native tongue at a minimum, shirley?

                    When I was in 3rd year secondary school (no I've no idea what that is the new terminology) I was taught binary in maths.
                    Also Octal, hexadecimal and for tulips and giggles we picked a random base and did that.

                    They don't even do binary at degree level computer courses any more.... And all the young CCNA jockeys memorise cheat sheets for the subnetting questions

                      Why would they do it at degree level when it's taught in year seven or eight at secondary school, seven years before the child starts university?
