A Guide to Fishsticks

[unclefishstick]

boss got me all keyed up today thinking it was going to be a busy day with a big order coming and someone paying for 8 cubic yards of extra fancy fancy dirt and someone wanting to order a big ol' bunch of stuff...8 grand just in pots! plus a full pallet of sunshine mix #4 and 150 bags of worm castings...
so yeah,woulda been a bonus day for sure...

and i'm really starting to notice some people are just dumb...we have seed packs,3,6,and 10 packs...10 bucks a seed...can anyone do the math on how much each seedpack count cost? i don't know how many times i've had to go over that...

guessing the order will come tomorrow during yet another wind storm...and probably a gazillion of the 23l elbow busters...

mornin campers...another day,another....something...hopefully the order arrives before the wind gets too bad...and maybe i get lucky and the custie who wants the big order of stuff comes in and pays for the whole thing...and then shows up right away to pick it up when it arrives...that would be nice...
gotta go water...at least it's super easy now...

lovely brown sky and a blissful 35mph wind gust...spring is so magical!

forklift ran out of propane the moment i had pulled up to the truck...no backup tank...and the driver was an ass,charged to drop the one friggin pallet on the lift gate...oi!
had to hand truck the order down the alley and into the warehouse...so of course lots of heavy ass stuff...
it was a day for sure

mornin campers... got more worms yesterday,another 250 in bed 2...although i guess it's really bed4...so now this place is home to 700 worms give or take and depending on whether there's worm barry white music playing and hot worm on worm sexy time going on...
best get moving,i need to get the last harvest into totes to sweat and burp so i can get it to the trimmer and dealt with...got another order for a pound...
and another harvest not so far away already...plus another quadrant of the main room to organic soil,this time in 20 gallon fabric pots...

that was a day...first couple hours pretty nonstop stream of giant stupid pickup trucks,mostly bag-o'-dirt people and seed buyers...once again having to repeatedly say (they're 10 dollars a seed)..."uh,so how much is this 6 pack?" derp...
anyway,got three deliveries,more seeds from humbolt,mostly a special order,so packing that up and entering inventory into the system,scanning the upc...and weirdly a couple bottles of dr zymes via fedex....then the dreaded giant advanced nutes order....ow...and i still have to find space for all of it and get it put away and unpacked where i can...at least it's inventoried...
not great sales this week,and only one burrito...
but i did move like 1 1/2lbs again...and my new frame will be ready monday

$70

Is asking the price like that American for asking for a discount or is just that people are shit at maths?

i genuinely think many people are just stupid...maybe uneducated is a better way to put it...my coworker is a good example,his handwriting and spelling are just awful,but he knows how to build just about anything,can run any kind of welder,can fix cars,can fix just about anything really...so in that sense a total genius...book stuff,not so much...

but also there's a lot of dumbasses out there...like i'm noticing people who maybe can't read so well...and math,not great at math...

you can educate the ignorant, but the willfully stupid people that think they already know are beyond reach...

Why do you reckon that is?
10x anything is a 9 year olds math level. Something’s gone seriously wrong if adults are unable to do this.

As we used to say in the hospital, you can cure ignorance but stupidity is terminal.

i worked in a military munitions plant once upon a time. they sent me to a building to "watch and learn" from two co-workers doing inventory. there was a skid of boxes, 5 boxes to a level, 6 levels high. 30 boxes, right? each box held 50 lb of explosives. for ten minutes, i watched these clods fail miserably. i finally got mad & told them "it's fifteen hundred pounds! write that down, i'm fucking leaving..." and went out the door. i got fired pretty quick...

Threat to management obviously far to competent
