The only time I have ever had a reference actually be contacted they just confirmed prior employment and dates, so it seems like a waste of 5 bucks

Yeah but you can open different doors if you paid that 5 bucks so the reference said you were the CEO of Google for 20 years instead of the cashier at the gas station

They saw that the temp was displaying a constant 405, with none of the expected fluctuations. Then they went into the software to see what was up and saw how hosed up it was.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

O'Leary blamed these inaccuracies on resume padding that had followed him through his career, and admitted: "In seeking employment I prepared a resume that contained inaccuracies regarding my completion of course work for a master's degree and also my level of participation in football at my alma mater. These misstatements were never stricken from my resume or biographical sketch in later years."

I like him blaming it on the act of resume padding itself rather than on him committing the act in the first place.

The hell chamber cooled enough to open. There was a crowd, it looked like a fireplace inside, many pictures were taken. My colleague was nervous all yesterday because he found the problem and was worried it’d be his word vs dayshift. Luckily dayshift signed off on their quality work.

Gonna have to meet with the restaurant manager about submitting the list of beers we'll be bringing to a beer festival at the end of the month. Normally, this would be pretty simple but this guy is fighting me every step of the way about bringing "too many" beers. Because people hate variety. Also, why do I have to go through this guy at all?

That sounds like fun.

Back in the military we had a critical piece of atmosphere control equipment light itself on fire, we went back in the logs and watched the temperature creep up from normal values to the maximum temperature the equipment would display, which it sat at for another couple months. We trended the values and determined it was running about 100C hotter than it should have before it cooked the wiring connections for the heater off.

Which was 1⁰ cooler than the maximum specified temperature :allears:

Things went the same as always. He hemmed and hawed about meeting up to discuss things and work on it together before just having me do it on my own at the last minute. At least I got to just make the dumb list. Wish he would have just emailed me the stuff on Friday or whatever. Seems like a lot of extra steps for a relatively simple issue.

After he explains his successful involvement in this particular task to your boss, he'll be fully licensed to continue doing this to you in the future.

You should fully expect this to embolden him to do so in areas he's not yet attempted to manage you.

If he gets a promotion he'll probably be transferred to somewhere else in the company and be out of my hair. If not I'll find something else. But I get it. I'd probably be more worried if he seemed more capable of planning ahead. This guy can't remember things we talked about a few hours ago.

During an interview I told an employer I was leaving in two years. They were cool about it and I went back to work for them several times.

Turns out treating people halfway decently makes then not want to gently caress you over. Shits crazy.

I don't understand how this keeps happening, but the whole "driver saw the serial number and didn't look at the part number so loaded up the box" thing happened again late last week on parts we couldn't lose that kind of time on. Because this has now happened twice in two weeks I have a materials manager claiming my orders are the problem despite the fact the delivery guy has stated it happened because he isn't fully reading the labels and just grabbing something that looks close to what he's supposed to get. Love to be at my desk an extra three hours when everyone knew I was trying to get out early because someone refuses to get glasses or something.

Start asking the materials manager if they want the handlers to have to scan everything in and out because people's eyeballs unable to read packaging is how you start policies like scanning everything in and out

I mean, shouldn't that be done anyway?

In the very loose way DSD delivery in America works, every piece is checked at least four times. Discrepancies show up and are addressed at the beginning and end of the distribution chain to save time and (in theory) money. That's within systems where a few pieces only really matter for billing purposes, as long as it's not a consistent gently caress up, but still.

Even much of the EDI pay-by-scan product gets inventoried by someone within the shortest billing period possible in the system. Provided the data is analyzed higher up and acted upon, that gives a solid base to effect changes to accuracy all along the line. (If there's trust between everyone involved, if everyone utilizes the available tools, if there's a will to avoid circular billing due to mistakes, if, if, if).

Came in to keg the Berliner today and the tank had lost all of it's carb. I probably should have seen this coming as it had no pressure after spunding it before I went back to the US. At least kegging that beer is the only major thing I need to get done this week so I guess I'll just take care of it tomorrow.
