It Is Official..........

It is Official... I Hate Terrorist. Ok I have worked at the airport for 2 1/2 years, and I have never had to take off my shoes ( I'm not required to take off my shoes because I am a badged employee), but not anymore. On top of that our company receives a phone call at 9:00pm from the Airport and states that we might have to remove all bottles from our shops before the morning, and they would be calling us back at 11:00pm after they talk to TSA. WTF Mate, you want me to remove over a thousand bottles of Pepsi and water in 5 hours? They responded no, we want you to remove a thousand bottles of Pepsi and water and all your lids to fountain drink cups and toothpaste, deodorant, cough syrup, chapstick, shampoo, colonge, hot sauce, BBQ sauce, and anything else that is a liquid or gel type of substance. And I repeat WTF Mate!!!!
So now I am going, okay I have 27 locations that have at least some of these products in these stores and I only have 5 people at Warehouse.

At 11:00pm the airport calls back and says okay you must remove all toothpaste, deodorant, cough syrup, shampoo, and chapstick by the morning. For now you do not have to remove your bottled drinks but there will be another meeting with TSA in the morning to see if that is going to change. As for the sauces, we can still sell them but they have to be mailed to the person's home, it cannot be taken on the airplane. To give you a better picture of how bad things where going to get, TSA was talking about get rid of condiments at fast food restaurants, WOW!

Best part was the Rubbermade tubs that were at the checkpoints, where people were having to throw liquids and gel type items into because they could not bring them in. I saw 5 ten gallon Rubbermade totes full of makeup, wine, chapstick, expensive colonge/ perfume, lotion, hand sanatizer, contact solution, deodorant, snowglobes ( I feel sorry for the kids), and anything else you can imagine. I tell you what some lucky TSA agent is going to get a lot of free wine, and get to take his wife some nice perfume.

So to sum it up I HATE TERRORIST, and do not bring liquids in your carry on items.

Blogs That Change Subjects

Hey Guys,

I find it rather amusing that you you can ask a friend to go eat and then the conversation ends talking about Polka Dancing! I mean seriously how can you go from FOOD to Polka Dancing? But for anyone that wants to visit me down in THE GREAT STATE of TEXAS, I would be more than honored to hangout and grab a bite to eat. So catch a 3 hour plane ride, start aGerman Club and start Polka Lesssons. Armand can provide Recon at 30,000 ft and Jelaine can make sure his airplane still has good oil. Oh and Andy can you do a supply drop of Turkish Food (of course only if it is good food, if not go through the drive thru at the McDonalds there in Turkey).

Need your Help

Hey Guys,

My sister is trying to make a scrapbook for me of all my Scouting adventures, however I was never a big fan of taking pictures and it has now come back to haunt me. If any of you have any pictures of Scouting things that I can borrow and scan them into my computer it would be greatly appreciated.

Allo!!

Hey Everybody,

I know I am on the hate list/ no one wants to but me on their friends list, but maybe after awhile I will be able to redeem myself. First to catch you all up from, let see from the beginning of May. Of course this will be the abbreviated version. I got a new boss in May, which is good considering I have not had one in over a year and half. My General Manager is a procrastinator to say the least, but maybe that's where I learned to procrastinate. So all of May and June I was officially in Charge of Inventory at the DFW Airport. I had to coordinate 27 store and 5 warehouse to be completely inventoried with a total of 15 million dollars in retail items in 72 hours with only 30 people. I had a mass headache after that one, but I glad to report I only needed a total of 29 hours to complete the task.

After that I went to Oregon to visit my Sister and two nephews, which are 4 and 2 now and they are absolutely hilarious. While I was there I got to ride ATVs on the Sand Dunes which was a blast, but a word of advice if you plan on doing it. DON'T GET STUCK!! You will break your back trying to get the ATV unstuck. Other than that I spent to much money but I had a blast. After being in Oregon for 18 days I returned back to Texas and unfortunately my job ( I didn't win the lottery while I was gone, but it would of helped if I actually played, minor detail). On the return trip to Texas I brought my Sister and 2 nephews, which are cute ( That is not a Bias opinion , it is prove fact, by a leading research company =). My sister and 2 nephews were in Texas for 3 weeks and we got to do some cool stuff while they were in town. We went to the National Scouting Museum in Irving, which was cool, especially the Norman Rockwell paintings they have displayed. You can also race pinewood derby cars too. It made me want to pull my pinewood derby car out of retirement, LOL. I am also proud to say the first knot I taught my nephew how to tie was a bowline, man he is smart.

Now my sister has left to go back to Oregon, and now I am free to write again. I know I will not be taken off the banned list yet, but hopefully I can soon enough.
