Went shooting monday morning with steve, his cousin jeff, and my dad. Dad and I brought out the 2 .357 mags and his 9mm. Jeff brought his new aquired .357 mag that his dad gave him for his 21st birthday and steve brought his 21st b-day present of a .45 1911. Seems like we all got guns for turning 21 haha. shooting was pretty fun but holy shit did i buy some hot loaded ammo. the .357 mag Remmington ammo that Wal-Mart sells is fucking insane that shit spouts flame and every damn shot i was getting stung in the face with shit that came out of the barrel and flew back or something. I ran some shots with that ammo through dad's .357 snubbie and yeah i gave that up real quick. fuck if i have to shoot someone w/ that ammo with dad's snubbie the bastard better be w/in like 10-15 feet b/c i'll miss. Besides the fact snubbies are really only effective up to like 20 feet anyway but yeah even less so when you're packing that powerful of ammo. In mine it wasn't as bad i think i was @ least hitting a chest size area @ like 25 yards. almost wish i'd brought the .44 mag long barrel out see if i can hit anything w/ that. dad's 9mm wasn't so bad as it was last time i guess b/c i fired it more monday than before. The thing did handle clips of mixed ammo though so Ruger makes a damn good pistol, of which i already knew anyway but that confirms it. only had 1 failure to eject the casing and oddly enough it wasn't even on a mixed magazine or rapid fire... i miss shooting i wish damn ammo wasn't so damn expensive..i spent like $100 on ammo..fucking shit!
work went well last week i put in 29.44 hours i believe it was which is good considering i usually average about 30 hours a week, and last week i only worked 4 days not 5. 9.44 hours of over time woo hooo!! man i love the way overtime is set up @ UPS. besides the benifits its the only thing that makes it worth staying there, or feasible too since i spend so much in gas a month gettin to and from work. Almost put in 8 hours last night plus the 4 hours i got just to sit on my ass monday night for holiday pay i'm doing halfway decent for the week already. about where i normally am maybe an hour off but hey 12 hours almost for really only 1 day's work i'm not going to complain one bit. I had to laugh i was talking w/ my buddy Adrian and he's so used to the UPS's way of giving overtime either after 5 hours or after 8 hours if you work a double per day that he didn't know normal jobs give you overtime only when you go over 40 hours a week. He was all like man my brother put in 42 hours and he only got 2 hours of overtime. That job sucks they don't pay overtime until after 40 hours. I had the fun task of informing him that UPS is the odd ball and that the mass majority of hour jobs give a full-time employee overtime after 40 hours.
