"I tell ya, I don't get no respect..."

[Cheyenne]

Anyone got any "I don't get no respect" stories?

I tell ya, I don't get no respect...

I came home after working 3 hours overtime. I said: "Hi kids, what are you doing, etc. etc. etc....." The eldest who was watching a dvd says: "you going to keep talking?"

I tell ya, I am going to like my clean house this evening. *evil grin*

To which your respose should be:
"Hell yes, you might as well hit pause until I'm done."

...or were you saying the consequences to smart-mouth was going to be a housecleaning assignment? :-)

Kids learn courtesy from their parents.
Parents get the respect they insist on.
Mine are now 18 and 23, and are uniformly polite.

How old is your eldest?

My eldest is 19 and presently cleaning the bird poopoo from the cages.


"I tell ya, I get no respect...."

An outside tech (fondly know as a "knuckle dragger") stole a new Wire Wrap Gun out of my tool bag and replaced it with a broken one. Hence one reason I worked OT today.




I am going to enjoy seeing them on camera in the future. *more evil grins*

i respected my parents (and still do) because they told me what i should and should not be doing but let me do it anyway. they said i was smart enough to make my own decisions. i respected that and thought "fine, i wont fuck up then"

[DucksNuts]

I still have my wire-wrap tools, but haven't built anything that way in a long time.
In fact the last computer I used wire-wrap on had a Z-80 chip in it. :-)

I work on everything in a Central Office. The only Computer type I work on is a 5ESS Switch. The wrapper is for wiring jumpers on the Main Distribution Frame and on DSX 1's. Yesterday I had 64 Jumpers to tie down and no gun 'til later in the day. grrr!


btw, I am loving my spotless house this AM.

Toodles, off to do more damage to the communications world.

I have a two-year-old... my list is so long there is not enough bandwidth.

I had one that was in the terrible two's for 5 years.

I changed diapers for 8 years with no break. I STILL hate the diaper isle!

14, 16, 19...all girls. between the 4 of us it can become a real bitch fest every month.

Wow...now that's underachieving. Usually they're only in the terrible twos for one year. :-)
