GODDAMN PORTLAND TRANSPORT CAN BE SUCH A PAIN IN THE ASS

 It appears that I have given Bob R a bad rap. The post wasn't moderated on purpose it seems but by a spam filter due to word I used in the post. (another p-transport pain in the ass). But back in the day things got pretty wild over there at P-Transport, and Bob would regularly moderate my posts.

Its never been particularly easy blogging over there, and I've been part of their crowd for years now. But those moderators over there, especially Bob R, can just get ridiculous sometimes in their tyrannical moods. And Bob R does have that streak of tyrant in him that comes out occasionally.

I'm probably going to take on DeHamel's request.

With a few conditions, of course. They'll be phrased more politely than they are here. :P

1) I reserve the right to blog about anything that is said, otherwise I'm out.

2) Dialogue, not monologue.

3) I reserve the right to bring someone with me.

3.5) Please don't bring a group of people with you. I'll limit my company to one. 

4) I really don't want recycled answers and whatnot. Give me honesty. 

Either way and no matter what, I look forward to seeing what this meeting will be like. Any other ideas for conditions/requests?

OH LOOK-TRIMET IS HELPING PRESERVE THE ENVIORNMENT

TRIMET STEPS OVER THE LINE-AGAIN

Now I personally know what this is all about.Trimet for years attempted to control my off duty behavior.
And now they are at it again: SEEN ON FACEBOOK:

Another attempt of the Tri-Met management team strong arming a Union employee. The day shift supervisor at Center St. told an employee they need to remove their "The Tri-Met Way" sticker from their personally owned toolbox. I was also informed that the employee was asked for the names of others who are also displaying the sticker on their toolbox. What a great way for a newly appointed day shift supervisor to say "Hey Bob, look what I did. Praise me, love me, accept me."
