The Official Status Update Thread: Part 97 - The Fifth Elephant

Maybe he had an emergency of some sort? I used to work at a placement service and we had people do that sort of thing all the time. Sometimes, there was a valid excuse and they truly were unable to call in. Most of the time, they had to show an attempt to obtain employment to avoid jail for nonpayment of child support or something of that nature.

We have attendance issues as the most common reason they don't stay. A recent one was told beforehand that he needed a doctor's note for any more absences. So he missed work and then came to work without a note. Said he couldn't afford a doctor. But you can afford to be unemployed?

The gun worlds Yugo is still better than an R51.

I've had to strip every one we've received and clean metal shavings and miscellaneous debris from the gun. I've never seen such a poorly made firearm. In all honesty, I'd rather trust my life to a Hi-Point than to an R51.

Wow!I looked at one at the NRA convention. It felt good in the hand, but cm passed your words along. I had it in my head that their 1911's weren't too great either.

I'm kinda curious about why we didn't get any in in a few weeks. But I'm very thankful actually

You guys had some nice prices on ammo, and it sounds like you had plenty of it.

I wanted to get over there for the big sale, but not enough hours in the day.

I've never understood. When I was working that job was about 15 years ago and, if anything, the problem has gotten worse.

Avon got the bulk of the ammo...way more 22LR then my store did. We did get plenty of other calibers in though. I actually had 380 still out when I left

I think that the R51 was a great idea with a lot of potential, but that it was very poorly executed. It looks and feels good from the outside. I also think that it points pretty well. The trigger is decent, and the low bore axis would probably make it comfortable to shoot. Opening up the gun, the issues become pretty apparent. Guns made in some back alley in the Kyber Pass would probably have a better fit and finish than these lemons.

Busy, but an awesome weekend. You?

We still had .380 bulk and hollow points today.

Because it seems fairly easy to get unemployment. At my last job we'd have people come in, ask us if we were hiring and when we said no they'd mark it down as an application on their list.

 

[MrsGungho]

wonderful but so tiring.

it started Thursday afternoon and 350miles round trip to stay with my daughter a few days then home to walk the convention today.

rr good to hear you got a sink

Hi Mrs. G. Yep...busy one here, but it was good.

normally whatever 380 I get is gone on Friday. To have some out on the shelf on a Sunday is mind blowing

We had a lot of that too.

not exactly that easy. but yes, they have to show they are looking for work

How is your daughter doing? Still feeling pretty good?

A friend picked me up a couple of bulk packs of the .45. Nice prices.

If all they're doing to "look" for work is asking if some place is hiring and then writing it down on the form that they applied, that's sad. Very sad
