Random Thoughts 14: I can see clearly now 2020 edition

[CloneLawman]

My boss essentially wants me to start babysitting 4 full time employees at work even though A) it’s not in my job description and B) I offered to become the manager that would be in charge of them back in the Spring and he turned me down. One of those 4 employees includes the person they picked to be that manager.

I’m thinking about telling him I’ll do it with a raise and the manager title since they have proven to not listen to me before since I don’t have that title.

Is that in addition to your duties regarding captives?

Yep. How am I supposed to guard the captives AND do these new duties?

Used to raise turkey's growing up. Most were 30-40 lbs. Would usually have a 50 lber or 2.

Damn that's some BIG birds.

Well I make work in a covid mill but my boss okayed me getting a standing desk. I made a compelling case that the 1960s cubes we have aren't meant for people over 6 feet tall for 8 hours. He being taller than me but office dwelling understood my plight

Well my pick up just turned 250,000 miles today.

Would vegetable oil work? All the local stores have. No sams or costcos within reason either.

I don't know why not.

When deep frying a turkey, you can use any cooking oil that has a smoke point above 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Corn oil works well because it doesn't smoke until 440 degrees Fahrenheit. However, canola oil (also known as vegetable oil) isn't a good choice because it smokes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

He had unique sayings on them he said. Just basic script lettering also. He was wearing one that looking like he took a sharpie to a white T-shirt. He also said he refused to advertise that people would ask each other where they got them. Was from the twin cities. I think it was one of the first ones. A lot of morons were on it.

Then why is there vegetable oil and canola oil? Maybe I will buy some peanut oil and mix them. It will at least reduce the amount of leftover oil and should bump the temp up some.

If you go to the canola website they say canola oil is fine because you cook the turkey at 350. Pretty confusing. Can you get a jug of corn oil?

You have evening wear for your turkeys. We just fry and and leave them nude and eat them? I suppose black is slimming.

That comment just put a disturbing image in my head of a family eating fried food in the nude.

It’s encouraged in the southern counties of Iowa. Best if you have hot cousins they say.

Thanksgiving shopping for a car battery minder on Amazon. Thinking I need one for Das Audi since I hardly drive anywhere. Not sure a three mile drive to the grocery does much on the charging side of things.
