From Harford County Public Schools:
Harford County Public Schools will implement a four-day work week summer schedule for an eight-week period to conserve funds and extend daily operating hours for the convenience of the community. This cost saving measure requires that all schools and buildings be closed on Fridays, and that 12-month employee schedules be adjusted to reflect 10-hour work days from Monday through Thursday in each of the eight weeks.
In consideration of the end dates of the current school year, and the start dates for new teachers and interscholastic athletics in August 2013, an eight-week schedule has been developed commencing with the week of June 17th – 21st, and terminating at the end of the week of August 5th – 9th.
“This new cost-saving strategy will save the school system approximately $120,000 by closing buildings for one day each week during an eight-week period throughout the summer,” stated Superintendent of Schools Dr. Robert M. Tomback. “Not only will we be able to conserve funding but this new schedule will allow us to provide extended operating hours Monday through Thursday for the convenience of the community.”
In order to maintain consistency throughout the organization during the eight-week period for both external customers and to accommodate deliveries, vendors, etc., system-wide operating hours of 7:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. have been established. While employees will continue to work the same number of hours per week, the new schedule will provide for better service and allow employees to enjoy a longer weekend throughout the summer.
HCPS has worked collaboratively with organizations that use school buildings for summer programs to rework schedules to allow for continuity of service.
Any questions regarding the impact of the new summer schedule on any programs should be addressed with the program coordinator. All schedules have been accommodated, and program coordinators will notify participants directly of any necessary adjustments.
Jim in hickory says
If they actually make the school maintenance staff work from 7 – 5:30 and off every friday the WAWA in Hickory is going to go out of business by summers end.
The sad reality is the employees will just hit the store 3 times during the work day instead of 2…. Must be nice.
LOL WTF? says
You seem to have unlimited time put away for the stalking of County government employees, what is it you should be doing while you are watching what others are doing?
Jim in hickory says
Just one of the few self employed customers trying to get a quick cup of coffee on the way to the job so I can pay my taxes and fund the government employees on the clock not doing their job…..
Thanks for asking.
Tighten the tin foil says
What about dump trucks that bear the name of Private Construction Contractors that stop at WaWa on their way to do a Government paid construction contract?
veteranHCPSteacher says
Jim is actually very correct in his observations. I have always said that the school system could save lots of money if they sub-contracted most of the maintenance jobs to knowledgable and experienced HVAC, plumbing, painting, repair companies, etc… So many of the workers I have seen are very slow, at times, unprofessional acting and looking and just plain, do NOT know what they are doing. Many of the repairs are haphazard and have to be redone many times over. If experienced andknowledgable workers were hired, it would be done correctly the first time, and, if not, then it would be guaranteed and be redone without added expense. HCPS’ crrent system from within, definitely is not cost effective or efficient. And, Jim is correct in his observations. They stop for many frequent breaks and stay in teacher’s lounges for long periods of time also. I only get a 45 minute planning break each day and a 30 minute lunch. And believe me, those minutes are NOT filled with relaxation, coffee and time just to “chill out”!!
LOL WTF? says
HCPS could save a lot of money by getting rid of teachers who complain and judge people based on their appearance, too.
Cdev says
They do hire subcontractors for things. They did at Magnolia Middle to do the solar panels and my wife said they took twice as long as estimated and had to be fired because they sprayed some Epoxy near the intake for the ventelation on the roof and caused multiple evacuations.
Jim in hickory says
There is no incentive for them to do a good job in a timely manner but if they act stupid and drag their feet they will do less work, make more money and have plenty of free time paid for by the taxpayers to flirt with the young cashiers at WAWA. That’s the way it works don’t believe me? Go to the Hickory WAWA any morning starting at 7:00 am and watch what goes on. it happens every day Harford county government is working I’ll guarantee it.
Want another tip on where to find county workers ( not school maintenance) wasting your money while getting paid? On the harford county side of Hess rd there is a parking area where at the end of the day (2-3 PM) you can always find trucks just waiting for quitting time. It’s a great spot, see their bosses have no reason to take that road and go into Balt county so everyone just turns a blind eye, your tax dollars at work.
Cdev says
You sure the HCPS facilities guys are supposed to be on the job at 7 AM?
Jim in hickory says
On the job? No…. but 7 is when they start getting paid.
Here is the tale of 2 workers, Lets say you hire a plumber to clear your kitchen drain. He says $150.00 done in 1.5 hours and you pay him.
Now if he was a Ha county worker he would charge you $45/ hour and the day would go like this,show up at your house at 7. Get in your car and drive to WAWA for breakfast. Return to your house an hour later. spend 3 hours taking the bathroom drain apart then remember it was the kitchen. It’s now lunch so it’s back in your car to Redners for lunch. Then back to your house to put the bathroom back together. It’s now quitting time he’ll be back tomorrow to finish the job. Your bill at end of day 1 is $450.00 and your drain still doesn’t work.
Sad but true.
Cdev says
Not sure of specifics but when I used to work by the hour I did not start getting paid until I punched in on some sort of machine. Is it possible they get paid later or are you sure all facilities guys start at 7?
a taxpayer says
veteranHCPSteacher, The school system could save lots of money if they sub-contracted many of the teachers jobs to private companies to provide online and distance learning classes during the school day. This approach is done in private industry and would certainly be more cost effective or efficient because fewer teachers would be needed. A great deal of money could to saved by eliminating the higher wages of a 30+ year veteran teacher and their fringe benefits package. And of course if only experienced and knowledgeable teachers were hired to educate our students it could be done correctly the first time and thousands of students would not have to waste money taking remedial college classes. HCPS’ current system of teaching from within definitely is not as cost effective or efficient as it could be. veteranHCPSteacher should remember that no position or person is not irreplaceable and the shoe can easily be placed on the other foot.
Forest for the trees says
As active as I am outside of the very small world of this blog in regards to reeling in inflated government salaries, your post is the epitomy of why I have so much trouble changing anything. The throw them all out and ‘let them eat cake’ mentality is a recipe for disaster. It is the musing of the small minded on a small blog.
Government employees are often overpaid for underperforming but local teachers are generally a above that. They have more oversight from within and outside of the system as opposed to mid-level fed and state employees who can get away with drifting through. Teachers are constantly at the forefront of public scrutiny in regards to pay and performance while the administrative members of government agencies are rarely given more than a once yearly glance.
Put your efforts for reform where they will make the most difference on those who need to be reigned in.
Cdev says
Maintenence staffs work in shifts to start early and stay later.
Steve Jacobs says
If that is true why is the parking lot at WaWa’s packed at the same time in the morning? B.S…..
Cdev says
Maybe these are the people who start later and they are getting coffee before work? Aren’t you also painting with a broad brush?
NeverCease2BeAmazed says
The maintenance staff at the elementary school in my neighborhood starts at 7:30. This would make a stop at 7 for coffee a non-issue. Which I am sure will be ignored, because I have learned that those posting on here always work longer and harder than anyone they may be posting about……
Jack Rabbit says
So you are implying that people are operating county vehicles and not getting paid?
Think about it….
NeverCease2BeAmazed says
I have thought about it. Every worker is entitled to a break. I have no idea what that employee is doing, what time they start work, what time they finish, how long their shift is. And neither do you. That is the point that I am trying to make: you see a County employee in a convenience store, and you automatically accuse them of wasting tax money. I feel that to be presumptuous and, quite frankly, obnoxiously self-righteous.
Jack Rabbit says
I don’t see where anyone is suggesting people shouldn’t be allowed a break if that is in their job definitions. It’s just if you work in a school how is it when break time hits you happen to be somewhere other than where you work? Do you think when WAWA employees get a break they go would be taking it at an elementary school? That would be like the bizzaro world dude….
Jim in hickory says
The inability to distinguish between someone being paid a contracted on price no matter how long it takes and someone punching a time card then heading out for coffee and doughnuts is astounding.
Clingus says
This is coming from a employee of Harford county public schools that works second shift at north Harford elemtary and sits on his ass all day at wawa because he has no life and when he does work he sits behind a dumpster smoking all night so all I say is get a life and your a price of crap and to the washed up teacher that has a problem with facilities I don’t ever remember a maintaince worker has sex with dogs or children can your high educated ass say the same thing seams like the more educated you people get the dumber you are
hcps plumber says
Tell you what “Jim” I’ll be at the WaWa at 7:00 am Tuesday before I punch in for work at 7:30. Just look for the guy in a green hoodie and come up and introduce yourself. I’m certain that we will have a great deal to discuss. Oh and make sure to invite the completely uninformed 30 year teacher. I just wonder what kind of babies you two would produce, that’s scary!!! But I digress, on second thought I think I would rather self-lobotomize than to waste my breath on and uninformed conspiracy theorist such as yourself. Have a nice life and for Gods sake come out from behind those bushes!!
lljr says
As a teacher in the county, I was wondering “when”, not “if”, this would happen. Makes me wonder if one day we’ll carry this forward into the school year, as several areas do so already in southern states.
Kharn says
The problem is that “green” buildings are meant to stay at one temperature setting continuously, turning off the HVAC to save money causes humidity and temperature swings which shorten the life of the building plus allow mold to gain a foothold.
Cdev says
How many of these green building do you suppose there are?
Jack Rabbit says
Mold has been around a couple of 100 thousand years more than school buildings.
Deal with it.
Concerned Teacher says
Tell the parents of the child who has to go to the hospital because of the mold to deal with it, see how long it takes them to scrape you up off the sidewalk and pour you into your own hospital bed.
Animal lover says
Maybe they can volunteer on Fridays to exercise the dogs at Harford County Animal Shelter. I have heard they really no how to work the dogs out.
Steve Jacobs says
Jim is correct. The punch in at their Hickory facility then go to WaWa’s. Every day…….
They should stop at WaWa’s, then go to the Hickory Facility then go out and do their f*cking jobs.
Better yet, they should stop their belly aching about pay and save money by making their own damn lunch.
Jim in hickory says
Why make your lunch or stop on the way to work when the taxpayers are oh so willing to pay you to drive their vehicles around, use their gas while you eat your breakfast and lunch and get paid not to work?
Are you crazy?
Because says
Gosh Jim, why not monitor how long they spend in the bathroom while you’re at it? I’m sure they catch up on their reading while they are there. It would be cool to have as much scrutiny in your life as you seem to want in others. Could you handle the attention?
Amusing! says
holy s@#$ theres a lot of crying on here?? and again….its the private contrctor/worker crying about the county/govt worker?? get over yourselves!! its a morning rite of passage….like everyone else in the world! get your coffee and breakfast and then work?? county workers pay taxes too! if its that upsetting…look at it this way….the 30min- hour they took to get coffee/food….that’s the time their taxes paid for!!
Jim in hickory says
Non government employees generally eat lunch and breakfast on their own time using their own vehicles. If you work for a company that the boss lets you leave the office and use his car for you own personal needs while he pays ,I want to know where you work…
Amusing! says
sorry u feel that way….but when I stop by and get my food….it still tastes good!! definit not feelen guilty about it!! ha ha…own time/vehicles….what about all the landscapers and other contractors in “company” vehicles floating around the wawa/roy farms?? ohhh….that’s right still stuck on the “govt” vs taxpayer thing?? if you want so much transparency as to what these workers do….then work for the county!
W.T.F.? says
It’s not “Wawa’s” you idiot, just like it’s not “Walmarts”. If you’re trying to make a valid point, please TRY to use proper english!
undertaker says
Having worked for the county for a number of years, I used to wear county uniform while working. Kind of stopped that because the “taxpayer” will stop you while at Wawa, no matter what time of the day to question why I am there at that time and why aren’t I at work! Why I am at Wawa, or when I go there, it is none of your business. You don’t know what shift I work, if I clocked in or not or if I am on my way to my next appointment. Surely, I don’t hear a lot of complaining during a snowstorm and county employees work around the clock to bring everything back!! Just to let you know, the taxpayer doesn’t pay my wages, nor do I work for free and you aren’t my boss.
Jim in hickory says
There is no county business you could be conducting in WAWA unless you were a health inspector, and they don’t wear uniforms. You had no business being there while being on the clock.
You were stealing from the taxpayers in both theft of hourly pay and un authorized use of a vehicle.
Bend it how ever you wish those are the facts.
Cdev says
That was his point he was at Wawa on his way to or from work and people gave him crap….people like you!
Undertaker says
Jimbo—there are plenty of jobs which require employees out in the field. Inspectors, engineers, planners, social workers, housing counselors, administration officials, attorneys, directors, staff on training, working at different locations and servicing the needs of Harford County. FYI–I drive my own vehicle and when using a county vehicle I am allowed to stop at food and convenience stores…not liquor stores!. I definitely never have stolen a minute, hour or done anything illegal on the job as my livelihood depends on doing it well and so does the safety and care I provide jerks like you who demand services and think that what they pay in taxes allows them to treat me like dirt. I don’t work in a fixed location and I don’t work in a production line. My job is demanding enough when it isn’t done correctly, people can die or suffer. As a Few Good Man–you want me on that wall and you need me on that wall and how I go about providing the job is not your concern, I am paraphrasing of course, I am not Jack Nicholson nor do I have the time to look it up. I get to work most days 15 minutes early and I leave late sometimes. I work a flex schedule and do work evenings sometimes or Saturdays too. I am not a 24 hr employee so my standard day is 9 to 5 for the most part. I do respond to emails from clients, citizens, providers and contractors on my time off and even on weekends. When I worked for private industry, no one ever questioned my work ethic, but somehow, wearing a county shirt seems to entitle morons like you to denigrate and diminish the hard work that county employees, teachers, deputies and social workers put in everyday. I certainly don’t think you need to insult people because they work for the county as you don’t know why these folks are at Wawa or what they work schedule happens to be. County rules allow employees to stop and get lunch, breakfast or use the potty when out and about as long as you are within the area that you are working. The same rule applies if I am using my vehicle. In fact, I could stop for lunch at home sometimes but I don’t do it because there would be some idiot like you complaining that a county worker is at home eating lunch during work hours. People have called the administration complaining about all kinds of things such as I had a flat tire and a county employee refused to help me kind of stupid requests. People will show un unannounced and without an appointment to demand being seen and say that they pay taxes too. Really, I would not go to business and demand service when an appointment is required and demand to be served ahead or be seen. We are not a retail operation where you can just show up and buy a pack of gum, we are dedicated professionals doing important work for the citizens of Harford County and we chose to do it, no one is holding a gun to my head to do it and I do it because I like it despite idiots like you.
HCPS facilities wife says
Facilities staff currently start work at 7:30 am, not 7 am, so if they are at the WAWA at 7 am, they are at the there before their work day begins. They are entitled to 2 breaks and a lunch break. Many, many days, my husband misses his breaks because he and his partner are in the middle of a job. He works incredibly hard every day, trying to fix major problems in aging schools to improve the environment for staff and students. It is disheartening to hear how little his work is respected.
Steve Jacobs says
So there’s the proof, go to WaWa’s @ 7:30-8:00 and it’s off the hook with county employees…….after they have just punched in.
veteranHCPSteacher says
If your husband works “incredibly hard” then I commend him and thank him. However, in my 30+ years with HCPS, (having been in several different schools, in different areas of HarCo) he is definitely the exception to what I have seen, not the majority.
School employee says
your full of shit!
Because says
The contraction you should have used is “You’re” as in “You are” So much for osmosis helping school employees. You can look this up in the libary…
Ryan Burbey says
Thank you for your hard work and please thank your husband for me. Also please come to the budget hearing on May 16th at Patterson Mill High to fight for our schools.
undertaker says
HCG pays my wages funded by way of taxes, but that doesn’t make you my boss as I surely don’t feel like I can boss the wawa staff because I frequent their business.
Common Sense says
You are in the service of the public, paid by the public hence you are a Public Servant.
Public servants have a duty to the public whereas Wawa empoyees have a duty to Wawa and that company’s policies.
If Wawa fails to meet the consumer’s needs they go out of business.
If HCPS fails it doesn’t go out of business it just demands more taxpayer money.
Undertaker says
If a county employee fails to do his job, he can lose it too. I and my coworkers don’t go to work thinking that we can do as we please!!. As a public servant I treat the citizens with the upmost respect as they are my customers. I have a duty to do my job and anything within the spectrum of care required from my office, but I am not paid by the public!!. My paycheck says HCG, not paid by the taxpayer. In all, private or public we all work for our customers and the fact that my salary is funded by taxes as opposed to a Wawa employee being funded by my daily coffee in the morning.
Because says
A simple self interested criticism based on your personal issue with public sector employment. There mechanisms in place for you to complain. Posting your irritations on the Dagger does not resolve them. Certainly it provides you personal relief but it never fixes the problem. Take action to fix what is wrong, otherwise your words are empty and meaningless.
Honey Badger says
Honey badger sums it up, Jimbo in hickory doesnt know diddly squat about Harford county work schedules, and 1 Harford county teacher judges people by their appearance.
End of comments, honey badger wins.

Wawa voyeurism is the new thing nowadays? I realize some people have some odd fetishes, but man, that is just weird.

Man, I wish I had as much free time as some of you jackoffs do to stalk county employees all day long.
A Student says
If you legitimately think that you have enough information of abuse or fraud you should call the HCPS Fraud Hotline at 410-809-6056. I think that this is a more constructive and civil way of producing results and obtaining answers than debating on here 🙂
HCPS Fraud Hotline Handout: http://www.hcps.org/departments/docs/PublicInformation/fraudhotline.pdf
Common Sense says
@A Student
Fraud should be reported.
Fraud, waste and abuse are fair topics for discussion.
If you don’t want to discuss these topics I suggest you refrain from doing so.
A Student says
Yes, fraud, waste and abuse are fair topics for discussion. However, when the discussion focuses around hearsay and observations with no evidence to back them up, it is not long a discussion, rather it becomes a sort of witch hunt.
I posted this in regards to people who believe that the HCPS maintenance people waste taxpayer time and money. There is no way that this can be discussed online in a constructive manner unless someone has preformed a detailed study of how maintenance people’s time is used. Thus, I felt that this post would be beneficial to those who believe that they have seen fraud. We, on the internet, are not going to being about change unless we take actions in the real world upon it.
DamienSandow says
A Student. I commend you for your astute observations regarding the endless minutia of online commenting. As if commenting one one MINOR story on one MINOR blog could magically enact a ripple effect of social and political reform that would save the county and the planet and alter the destiny of mankind forever…
Blog commenting is for one thing, and one thing alone. To feed the ego of the bored and weak-minded that have nothing constructive to do.
Take A Student’s advice. If you want change, report the abuse. Report the waste. Take pictures, take video – report the facts.
If you want to kill time feeding your ego? By all means continue replying to this dull and inconsequential blog post. There are more than enough weak-minded citizens to assist you.
You’re welcome.
Jim in hickory says
Damien,
Thank you. You certainly have given me quite a bit to mull over. I think I need to reevaluate some aspects of my life.
Maybe I need a new pet, or perhaps a better hobby than Wawa stalking.
I can see why you are the intellectual savior of the masses.
I hereby quit blog posting and will now commit myself to community service in harford county.
Cohagen says
You just wasted your time, these people complaining aren’t going to do shit about a “Formal complaint.” They rather clappity clap clap on their keyboards when News Articles like this show up and they can start a political escapade about it.
I just find it odd it seems one individual goes well beyond the average means to thoroughly observe Harford County employees at a convenience store, and went as far to think they know their timetables.
Jim in hickory says
I’m sorry you totally misunderstood. The county government sees nothing wrong with paying employees to carry out their personal business in government vehicles during their work day. How could people that are in charge of others that do and have done the same thing find anything wrong with the activity. I have had the discussion with many county managers and have the emails saved. Part of getting a government job is taking no responsibility for you entitlement attitude at the tax payers expense.
Jim in hickory says
No. Don’t listen to me. I have a split personality.
Help me Damien Sandow. No matter how hard I try I cannot leave the keyboard…SHUT UP. No… Ouch. Jim you are hurting me… Be quiet James. You know the gobernment is corrupt. I seem em at Wawa. Drinking coffee, staring at me.
No Jim. Stop. We need to end this. I’m so sick of Wawa. I don’t even like it. Please 711 just once? I want a slurpeQUIET – I own us James. This is the Jim show, not the James show. I’m gonna solve the worlds problems at Wawa. You betcha.
Don’t TREAD ON ME!
DamienSandow says
Jim. I seriously think it is about time that we let James run your life. My condolences to your friends and family that this could not have come sooner.
You’re welcome.
Undertaker says
Well, I am going to bed.., tomorrow morning I am meeting this customer whom thought that he could just show up last week and be seen. I’ll see him tomorrow and hope to be able to help him out, if I do help him he will probably thank me and if I can’t help him, no doubt he will call his council rep, senator or congressman complaining he pays taxes and can’t get anyone to help him out. It may be Jim from Hickory or another Jimbo out there. They are the worst kind, takers always and demanding something we can’t provide, ie, if you have legal problems you need to hire you own attorney and not bug a county employee about it. We don’t have the power to litigate your legal matters. That’s why there are courts and attorneys in private practice and if you don’t like it, then jimbo can go pound sand while I go to wawa on my way to my next appointment whom happens to be a lady unable to leave the house and desperately needs my assistance because her request was specific and within the bounds of what I can do. I wish I could tell you more about my job, but that’s the most I can say without identifying my position as that would be unprofessional.
Big Man says
When is WaWa’s never crowded? Saturday and Sunday it is packed too!
clingus says
jim from hickory you really need to get a life you are by far the biggest dick I have never met you and steve Jacobs need to share a bush at the local wawa because he really wants your love child you two must of tried for a job at the school board and got kicked in the ass for no skills hahaha losers
Marks 8th Cousin In-Law says
@clingus- Seriously you should be blocked if you have any respect for our kids within the school system you wouldnt post such vulgar comments. You are out of line and need to think about what you post before you post it. Regardless of the topic you are way out of line and I hope you are not a teacher. If you are I think that most of your fellow teachers would be appaled by your use of language. GROW UP.
Marks 8th Cousin In-Law says
This does not mean in any way that I agree with “Jim from hickory” but I certainly do not agree with the vulgar remarks that clingus is making. Its out of line and the moderator on this site should not tolerate such behavior.
Glen says
Well, what do you expect from someone on The Dagger with a name like “clingus”
Guess the full name got rejected.
HCPS-T says
Unless you are an HCPS employee you don’t know what they do or why they do it. Just like they don’t know what you do at your job or why you do it. I have seen many facilities workers bust their butts because it is what they get paid to do. YOU might see them only when they go to WAWA or only when they are not doing what you want them to at your school but take it from someone who has seen them several times and several different locations in different weather. They work hard. It does make me wonder if you would complain about them if it were snowing outside and you needed your schools cleaned so you or your children didn’t slip and fall. I guess you can’t please everyone. Oh wait look, their they are now, working hard while people are wasting their time on here. People will screw the system no matter what, but not everyone does it. So don’t trash a certain department or certain people unless you know without a shadow of a doubt that what you are saying is true.
P.S. Jim are you sure your name is not TIM????????
Clingus says
No I’m not a teacher I work for a living 12 months while you might work 6 hours a day because you need a planning period to do nothing you can’t even watch the children correctly that’s why the schools get ripped apart you come back after your summer break wishing for snow so you can have off you don’t look around and see the halls waxed the lights are worken and the water running so cry me a river

Hey hey hey … harford county workers, I have the morning off tomorrow so I’ll be sitting in the wawa hickory parking lot, 7-11and the mini storage taking pictures and writing down tag numbers while I eat my sausage cheese and egg bagel with a 24oz coffee.
Should be there by 7 am till about 9, be there or be square… wouldn’t want to miss the regulars.
Jim in hickory says
Where the heck was everyone this morning? The only thing interesting in the place was a bunch of overweight propane truck drivers all complaining about their jobs, don’t you guys take DOT physicals anymore?
Harford County Voyeur says
We knew you were going to be there.
Why don’t you spend every morning there taking pictures?
Hcps plumber says
Working like every other day.
Jim in hickory says
Your job is posting on the dagger at 11:11 am, or are you multi tasking while you plumb…..
Because says
Too much time on your hands Jim. Why not donate it to a worthy cause like Habitat for Humanity or something that will uplift your spirits. You must be pretty low to stalk people that have done nothing to you except exist in a way that offends you.
Jim in hickory says
Actually pointing out government waste in an attempt to save taxpayers money is very therapeutic.
Because says
Let’s cut you off of your entitlements and save a whole lot more than what you provide in your voluntary public service
That's Why says
Because, your service is surely not voluntary or are you working during furlough days?
Hcps plumber says
Jim I almost feel bad for you. The fact that you are that miserable that you have now moved to putting down propane truck drivers along with any other human being you see fit shows me how much of a miserable person you are. I am sorry that you have no friends and the world hates you. Do you think it might have something to do with your hateful personality? I know you we’re probably bullied as a kid no girls liked you and you probably stayed in your house all day knitting sweaters . I am sorry for all of that but you really don’t have to take it out on the rest of us. Please crawl back in your hole with your knitting needles and make me some socks I could use a new pair to put in my work boots thanks.
Jim in hickory says
If you would just come over and talk with me in my green truck with handicapped tags maybe everything would be all better. 😉
jim is a joke says
I was there watching you watching everyone you are the dumb ass in the green truck that’s a handy man hahaha how did you like the cops visit there you sat all alone with your handicap sticker and you looked healthy to all of us talking about using the system you were the running joke there why didn’t you come over and talk to us it was so funny watching you sit over there in you own little world when the cops asked you what you were doing you told them you were waiting on workers hahaha for what handy man hahaha
Jim in hickory says
Yup that was me, next time come on over and say hi.
Steve Jacobs says
I know who you’re talking about, I think it’s the guy in the green truck too. He looked a little creepy…..
