Just a heads up

If you're in this situation higly recommend finding and interior bathroom and getting in the bathtub especiallyif its cast iron. Its the safest place during something like this.

I don’t mind it. You can be happy to be here and also understand that it should and can be better.

A bathtub in a crashpad? Since when?
What happened to the hooker rinse at the kitchen sink?

This is impeccable advice! Next time I’m involved in a gang-related drive-by (which in Memphis could be any day now) this is exactly what I’ll do. If only Doughboy shared this knowledge with Ricky then the ending to Boyz n the Hood could’ve been so much happier.

Funny when this happens in an elementary school or a church or a movie theater or a grocery store or a walmart or a country music festival no one wonders if its gang related. 🤔

Between earthquakes, tornadoes, and crime, the Memphis area is really one of the least safe places to live.

Awful. This is looking like the house was directly targeted.

The list of reasons to come work for FedEx only continues to grow.

1. Lower hourly pay despite generating greater revenue.
2. We’re the only company that has Substitution.
3. Miserably low trip rigs, no MDG or AMDG.
4. Miserable schedules.
5. Miserable work rules that dont punish the company financially for revisions.
6. Union that gives away all of our work rules to secure pay rates that you should have gotten without giving anything up.
7. Union that refuses to sue company for status quo violations.
8. Union that refuses to codify current perks enjoyed by pilots into CBA
9. Highest chance of any airline to get shot or carjacked while driving to work.
10. Highest chance of any airline to get shot while sleeping your crashpad.


What did I miss?

11. Only airline to require a detailed doctors (list symptoms/treatment/whatever they ask for) note to see if management agrees it is worth using your sick time for. If they don’t, then no pay for you. Every doctor I have requested this from looks at me like I’m asking them to remove my liver.
