It’s amazing to me that people in this town can’t calm the FUCK down and let the gas supplies get replenished. Yes, there is less gas flowing due to the hurricane. Yes, we can’t get the low sulphur kind that we should have, BUT the EPA has waived that rule so we can get replenished. We can get caught up if everyone would give it a fucking minute!
The problem is PEOPLE. Stupid, stupid people who keep going back to the gas station to top off when they have 3/4 of a tank. DON’T DO THAT, OK? If you have more than, say, 1/3 of a tank, and can make it to work for a few days, then WAIT. I swear they should check the gas gauge of cars sitting in line (burning more gas) and if they are more than 1/3, they should be kicked out of line. We shouldn’t even have lines! What is this, the 70s? Jeeze.
Nick has around 1/3 of a tank of gas. We calculated that it takes about 1.6 gals of gas per day for his commute in the truck. He’s got about 6.3 gals which yields a little under 4 round trips to work, if he burns the reserve gallon, which is not a good practice. I’ve got around the same amount of gas in my car, so we’ll get through this week, but be fucked by the weekend. In any case, our search for gas is not urgent at the moment, but we’re still gonna keep our eyes peeled.
And now all the companies run by morons who refused to let their employees telework or work 4 day weeks are whining that they can’t run their businesses due to the gas shortage. Wah, wah, wah. I say FUCK YOU for being such backwards bitches that you haven’t set up telework already. If this town had embraced alternative work hours, shorter work weeks and telework years ago, we wouldn’t have the sprawl, pollution and panic now.
Stupid middle aged men who have never checked their own email are the ones who refuse to implement telework because they staunchly believe no work will get done. Assholes. Telework has been viable for years. If CEOs weren’t such technophobes much of the mess that is Atlanta now could have been avoided. But NOOOOOO.
So, to all the companies out there who have refused to budge on managing your employees in a greener, more responsible manner: THANKS BUNCHES FOR FUCKING UP ATLANTA.
Assholes.
