Pip-Pip old chap! Last one in is a rotten egg what what.

Last day of work before shutdown and it's traditional something breaks, it's my press. I end up leaving 5 hours late after handballing parts down the line so the entire factory doesn't stop tonight.

Cycle press
Open doors
Wait for slide lock to engage
Shut scrap chutes
Move parts from w4 to stillage
Parts from w3 to w4
Parts from idle station to w3
Parts from w2 to idle station
Parts from w1 to w2
Put new blank in w1
Open scrap chutes
Close doors
Cycle press
Repeat for 150 parts

We averaged 22 parts an hour

Kill me now.

Of yes, I'm going back in tomorrow because the press is still in pieces. So yeah, my shutdown doesn't start yet.

E:I wasn't doing this solo, but it sucked.

There was some pretty good trolling going on at GSR yesterday, already (MGM, Ballys, Hilton, or whatever the gently caress it was called when you were here last). Someone parked an '05 Challenger right next to a ton of goats, and there was a ~52 plum crazy purple ford truck (chopped and slammed, of course) parked with the 'cudas. There was one legit VW bug that was reverted back to stock, and nobody seemed to even notice the guy sitting there.

There is a beautiful blue '72 442 W-30 that I'd consider going SAE for.

I proudly wore part of my AI:SS 2012 gift (an old sunbleached SAAB XWD hat - thanks again, you crazy dancing queen), which ensured that very few people spoke with me.

Probably going to go back tomorrow. Either that, or do actual work. <:smug:>

JFC. eBay parts buyers are the worst.

dood posted:

I bought refurbished unit and when I drive my car, I hear 2 beeps that sound like elevator beeps and red lights all over the dash board come on and then go off. When the night panel is depressed all of the gages go to 0 and don't record anything. The transmission service light was on before I installed the unit, I had it serviced and the light is still on.

The guy bought a completely unrelated part, but it makes the beep noise. I can't tell if his ABS controller is making GBS threads itself, or he is just fucktarded (not knowing what the "Night Panel" button is for).

I bought a 'new, unopened, OEM' power antenna for the Allante' from a dude. It was new, back in 1987 (according to the manufacturing stamp), and sure enough in the unopened OEM box. The plastic teeth promptly ground themselves to a fine power upon installation, much like the one I was replacing. Dude couldn't understand why I was upset. Especially since I paid him not that much less than what the Cadillac dealer wanted for a 'new, unopened, OEM' one.

Along those lines... a couple of months ago I sold a 10ish year old 32" Flat Screen tv to a Craigslist guy for $50. He came to pick it up and after we exchanged money, kept asking me "What else are you going to give me for $50?". I just stared at him until he became uncomfortable and left.

Ah yes, that school of organisation. Makes you wonder if the first aid policy is limited to "you touched him last, you have to hide the body!"

Last month, me and the despatch guys did enough hours in one day to cause them to actually change the rules on overtime working. We were very proud.
