It's pretty great. I became friends with a coworker at my last job and recruited her to the company I moved to a few years later. Now we work on the same team and it's been awesome. It helps that she's kicked rear end since joining so I get some of that residual sheen lol

I've been slowly poaching friend co-workers from one workplace to come work with me at the other. They get a raise and some benefits, and also qualify as in-system candidates for bigger and better jobs with the place. Though my female coworkers like chatting with each other in the multi-stall bathroom and I just don't get it. When the stall door closes, talking is not very high on the priority list. I guess once you hit 60 or so, you just stop caring?

I got my current job on my last job hunt by finding the opening on LinkedIn and noticing that my friend was the controller. She put my resume on the IT Director's desk and the rest is history. She left for another job a couple of years later, but I was well entrenched by then.

So in a change, I bring stupidity entirely due to night shift: Another bay blew up a chamber. They started pumping compressed air into the chamber, and somehow the pressure release valve and the cutoff that would stop the air from going in got disabled, so it just got more and more pressurized. It catastrophically failed, the pedestal got damaged, the bakeout lamps all shattered. I was impressed, it managed to not hurt anyone during its unplanned rapid depressurization, clearly the designers planned for this despite being intended for one atmosphere or less. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4RLOo6bchU This happened when I was on break, another guy told me a chamber blew up and it took me a bit to realize he was just telling the simple unvarnished truth with no exaggeration.

Escape From Noise posted:Yeah. The restaurant manager keeps seriously pushing for this and flavored syrup in the tank. Just make a Berliner Weiss and have the flavored syrups on the side like they do in Germany, works wonders for us. Plus your bartenders can commit horrifying crimes against flavor like putting blue raspberry syrup in a glass of your Brett saison.

Uh why were they pressurizing it. It's supposed to sit at vacuum normally. What happened to the ATM pressure interlock?

They weren't intentionally pressurizing it, they were flowing gas into it without having either pump active. As for the ATM pressure, I have no loving clue. We never disable it, sometimes we disable the low pressure interlocks to do an operation at a higher than normal pressure, but we never touch the overpressure.

A few weeks ago I was in a design review that hypothesized this kind of failure. Didn't think it was all that likely lol

If I know one thing about process design it's that everything with a figurative inside is subject to overpressure failures and if you can't identify the source of pressure that's out pacing the relief then you aren't thinking hard enough.

The engineering firm I work for got bought out, and we had to install the company profiles on our company machines. They block all coding sandboxes and software download pages (IDEs, plugins) as "prohibited software".

I have to run batches in our testing region to troubleshoot, test, and maintain our bespoke software. Multiple times people have had problems or asked me about batch results, but when I go to check the file I do not have permission to access it. Guess you'll never know what's hosed up!

This sounds like it's either - They only wanted the patents and/or the customers anyway, or - The entire process is entirely driven by managerial momentum and somehow it will be a complete failure that just kills your former company but it still generates a lot of bonuses, or - They want to do a huge amount of work to bring you into a state of compliance with their usual method of operation while still actually being able to work. And I'm not in the industry (no matter which industry this is) but the last one does not sound like the most likely pick?

My friend from grad school and I were first-year teachers at the same high school. It was great having someone dealing with the same problems as me. Obviously we didn’t actually “work” together since we taught our own classes, although we had a few students who had her English class one year and then mine the next, so we shared insights about them with each other. We never had any conflict between us.

Boomer coworker update He was really mad Thursday night when we vetoed his choice of Cracker Barrel. We went to a place that had a DJ playing late 90s/early 2000s hip hop. He hated it. Friday morning he was mad that no one showed up early to meet him for breakfast. The rest of us managed to get breakfast and check out in time to leave a little early. We ended up leaving late and arriving at the customer site late again. When we got there, he was mad that someone moved his chair, the one chair, because he was the only one who had to sit. Ended up getting done Friday morning and driving back Friday afternoon, exactly as planned. Even got back home slightly earlier than expected despite spending way too long at Cracker Barrel for lunch. One small rant about illegals. Referred to someone wearing a hoodie as a "terrorist in training". Mostly Hannity on the radio. 5/10 trip

I honestly remember the last time I ate at a loving Cracker Barrel. I definitely wasn't an adult. My dad hated that place. On road trips we were way more likely to eat burritos made with canned refried beans or whatever.
