Man, I have the biggest crush on a co-worker and I feel like an idiot high-schooler all over again. We're getting lunch with another co-worker on Friday and she keeps telling me how excited she is. And for some reason she wants to drive my big dumb truck :allears:


Also, some jerk single-handedly got the entire service center at our dealership pretty sick...and my office is right in the middle of said service center. It's been about two weeks now and I've been watching whatever it is jump from person to person while I wash my hands religiously and be a huge germophobe. Every morning at least three or four people pop into my office with "Did you catch it yet? No? Oohh, just you wait." Fuckers.

I feel like it needs to be said, Chris Harris' schtick has gotten old. Sure he's enthusiastic, but he also has a tendency towards being pedantic and repetitive.

Finally, my understanding is that Drive+ was created because he pushed for it and more money, but then bailed when things looked down rather than allow the decision to be reversed. I understand everyone has to make a living, but that seems lame to me.

So I'm gonna take a moment out here to bitch about my welding instructor. So far:
  • Told me it's best to notch tubing with an endmill the size of ID of the tube for a tube-tube joint
  • Instructed me to weld over strain-relief holes I made in plates with the CNC plasma, because they will create cracks
  • Didn't believe me when I said arcs are better than triangles as gussets
  • Instructed me to use the drill press freehand because that's how real work is done in a shop
  • Witnessed her make a MIG weld w/o her hood
  • Witnessed her watch the CNC plasma cut w/o her hood
  • Makes a point of changing every dimension on a project after I do solidworks drawings and get her to review them

in order...

kinda lazy, but works.
no. no no nononononono. they need to go back to mech eng 101.
you are right
I do this all the time even though I know I shouldn't
the gently caress? That's really bad, and gonna result in lovely welds anyways
Also bad

I actually read somewhere that Powerwolf is supposed to be a parody joke band. They used to be called Red Aim, and they played stoner/hard rock and looked like this:



But I have to say, if Powerwolf is just a joke band, they're certainly going all the way with it, considering how good the music is and the fact that they've been doing it for over a decade. From reading interviews etc., they certainly seem to be having fun with it, so whatevs, I think they make awesome (and funny) power metal.


Apparently Slipknot is headlining Copenhell 2015, which kinda caused a justified shitstorm when it was announced. Come on, we had goddamn Iron Maiden, Anthrax, Sepultura, Behemoth and Arch Enemy last year, and bands like Slayer, King Diamond, Amon Amarth, Judas Priest etc. the years before that. Slipknot is total weaksauce in comparison.

BMW are amazing.

My pal has had a number of issues with his car (this being his second as the first eventually had to go back it was so faulty). The latest return was a problem with the fuel filler cap. In replacing it they managed to set the car on fire and had to replace the burned upholstery. In doing this they scratched the paint and ruined the leather on the other seats in the car. He got his car back smelling of petrol and burning, covered in scratches with damaged seats... And a smile.

Nice one BMW.

:hfive: I have a date Friday night, she's a stand up comedian so I know if I manage to gently caress it up people will get a laugh out of it.

Anyone have security cameras or a fire suppression system in their garage or have experience with them? I would get a nice insurance break and after the poo poo last weekend it would be nice to have a record if someone decides to do something stupid.

I am having a BALL
So, when i started this job, my main task was get the efficency up to a level where we could catch up to current maintenance and services, whilst still doing the acute jobs that is involved in keeping 185 buses on the road 11-18 hours a day in average. When i took over there was a constant scramble to have enough buses to keep schedule and fines from the city for routes not serviced was a daily occurance. Over the last months we have been able to triple the amount of services that gets done (each service takes 6-9 hours) in a week, and have not have a route go unserviced due to lack of wagon since early january. New hires and new routines have actually worked out great. However, the bus line (seperate company,they own 49% of the shop) have raised issue with their monthly bill. They are suprised in the increased cost that comes with the fact that we do more work. I donīt charge them more per hour, or for parts, we just do a lot more work. The result is that they have not yet payed their bill for january og february. Last friday i told them that if not their bill for january was payed in full by this friday we would stop work on their rolling stock by noon tomorrow.

They seemed very relaxed about the situation until yesterday, when someone from corporate who has an office with a direct view of the shop floor asked if we had problems with our suppliers since he had not seen parts come in the last few days.... I then explained that since it seems we would not be doing work for awhile i had stopped ordering. Today i got a note from the bank saying that they had payed in full for january. And when i (being the rear end in a top hat i am) told them if they were late on paying for feburary i would start billing per bus, and not releasing them before payment was completed, they loving payed for february as well.

It helps being stubborn i guess. Now i can actually pay my own salary out.

Oh, and they have contacted my brother (who is my boss/runs the company that owns 51% of the shop) to tell them that they want to replace me.
