The dark side has the best cookies.

So the problem with snickerdoodle cookies is that they are a bit complex to make.
Chocolate chip cookies you can almost throw the ingredients in a bowl, stir, bake and boom cookies.
Snickerdoodles take more work. Everyone I have tried always tastes different then one made by someone different. Do what happens is you usually end up only liking the ones you grew up with.
Snickerdoodles have caused many galactic skirmishes.

After a long weekend I really do hate the "What did you do?" question because my answer will always be....nothing.  Which leads to such shocked and indigent reactions.  I "do" stuff all week.  I'm up before dawn, hour long commute, work 8 hours or longer (such is the life of Manager), commute now 2 hours back home due to traffic just in time to veg for an hour before I go to bed and try and sleep so I can do it all over again.  So when I don't have to...I do *gasp* nothing.

There is an important and fine line between not doing anything and actively doing nothing.

Change up the phrasing. You didn't do "nothing", you redted. Resting is something.

So we did half of a wiring job a month ago and had to wait for the flooring folk to come in and do their part. They do, we come back-

And ALL of our equipment has vanished.

Idk who's footing that bill but that someone is not going to be happy when they see it.

OUCH! A friend of mine works for a very large electrical contractor that installs systems in hospitals, colleges and large government and official buildings etc. Well he was checking the wiring for a whole level of a building with a digital multimeter and managed to blow the meter up...but not just one...he and another guy fried three of them (luckily not through their fault).

He said the scary part wasn't nearly getting electrocuted....he was worried about the cost of the meters....they were $33.000 EACH!

I used to do contractor work, and the absolute worst was when you know people in your own company are taking your tools; it especially sucks knowing your supposed "coworkers" are stealing from you. It's so petty and pathetic, since it's not like we don't all get paid well... Had to end up marking all my tools with an engraver just to be able to call people out when I said "no, I'm SURE that's mine". Even worse I have lived in pretty bad neighborhoods before, where people brake into cars and toolboxes just to steal tools, chargers, loose change; all so they can cobble together enough to go out and score their next fix... people can be shameless and tragically flawed.

In this case it seems our equipment was the victim of an overzealous cleaning crew that just pitched it all since it was in a grocery bag that looked enough like garbage they decided it belonged in the dumpster.

Wow, talk about an epic fail right there... I figured your situation was (luckily) different than my own experiences, just adding in a little bit of my own venting to hopefully make you feel a bit better knowing worse things happen in that they were malicious acts. At least a product of stupidity tends to possibly leave a better taste in the mouth after. Also likely better for recouping the losses I suppose. Either way, just commiserating with a fellow Sith. May you find swift and fulfilling resolution. (too bad you didn't think of that likelihood immediately, could have scavenged all of the "lost tools" potentially and still been valid in your allegations/claim)

Running on two hours of sleep, zero coffee or food intake, the promise of a paycheck, and pure spite.

And not so much as a thank you. People suck.

Sounds kind of like that military life, on so many occasions or days. But you hang in there. I know exactly what you mean from experience. Walked in those shoes, but you'll make it home to some food, rest, and hopefully pay hitting an account eventually. They can't stop time, just make it seemingly drag on. Flip the bird in your minds eye and keep on moving.
