You Can't Be Serious.

I once worked with a guy who announced he had drawn a coveted NV antelope tag, and wanted advice on how to proceed. He had his dad's old 30-06 with a scope. I asked him how he had it sighted in. "Oh, it don't need it, it's always shot just fine." How long had it been since he tried to hit anything with it? "Oh, years and years. I've been dragging it around with me from town to town a long time." Would he please allow me to take it out and sight it in with him? "Nope, I'm just going hunting, thanks just the same." At work the next week I asked him how he had done. Looking sheepish, he said "Well, I should have listened to you. I shot up a box of ammo at several antelope fairly close by, and never so much as scared one. I have no idea where those bullets landed."

Makes you wonder how he approached his work.

His was a low-skill menial job. He kept his nose to the grindstone, but the stone turned slowly.

I think that was dwindling about double that time ago

I think you guys may younger than me..... Or maybe I live in an over achieving area......

My father was a higher level math teacher. He said in the early 90's there was a shift in the students attitude where they no longer worked at learning the material and expected him to do all the work. A few years later I told my boss I did not want anymore summer interns because it was less work for me to do the work.

Yep. I don't get paid extra for instruction. So I don't provide instruction. Those guys are way too interested in whatever is on their phones. They're just in the way. Piss off!

I was doing my job before many of these guys were even born. But I probably don't know a thing. Right.

Once one of the older gentlemen in our group loaded his Remington 760 Gamemaster chambered in 30-06 with 35 Remington ammo! Fortunately he never got to shoot it. I hat to think what may have happened.
