So I tell the day shift team lead we have a problem with somebody not checking a dimension on a part. Like I pulled 10-20 of these blanks off of the rack with the overall thickness 0.020" under. I got the usual "oh yeah thanks, Daylan. We'll fix it"
Come in to work just note with a note on my machine telling me to pay special attention to the thickness with that dimension circled on the print.
I'm the one that told YOU about that problem. Whatever monkey you have over here on days is the one you should be leaving notes for. And tell him to deburr his damn parts while you're at it.
EDIT: oops that was a rant. Whatever.
In reply to Daylan C :
Oh no, you narced on dayshift Watch everything extra careful, including your back. BTDT

Yeah I'm just trying to stay here on here for a couple more months until I have my degree finished and don't have a class schedule to work around, then I'm looking for another employer.
Anyway. Chatting with the Monte Carlo guy. He was working under faulty assumptions that my car was a 5 speed.
The description also says "4.6 2v automatic"
He also wanted to know if my car was fast. It is not.
He asked if it did good burnouts. It's a tall geared auto with 200hp on a 255 section 400 treadwear tire. It does not do good burnouts.
Also the AC is broken on the monte (mustang also lacks AC so that's fair)
And he said he has to pull his subs out before we meet.
I'm seeing a lot of red flags for a car I'm only vaguely interested in.
I showed up a bit early for my chiro appointment and they said they couldn't get me in yet.
Apparently 7 days early is too early.

I swear to God, I did that at a funeral last year. After scanning the room (surprising number of unfamiliar young Latinos there for a 68 year old white woman), I quietly mentioned her name to one of the old guys working the room.
He whispered, "She's down in the freezer. Come back next Friday."
I’ve spent the last 30 minutes waiting for this elderly couple to figure out their Apple ID password. I get paid by the hour so I don’t care.
Spent the last day working on the bosses westy, just to have him hate it and want to sell it.
Well that Intimidator was the rattiest W body I've ever seen and that is a pretty high bar. Once again I still own a Mustang.

Cheap Walmart canvas shoes -$40 painted with your general idea. It takes her 4-5 hours of painting involved.

I have to confess I’m impressed with my daughters art skills. She hand paints shoes and has all the work she can handle @ $40 a pop.
Details on this? Something that the wife may be interested in...
Yep. My girl may want to try this herself, but getting her a pair to pique the interest may be a good gift idea.
In reply to Brett_Murphy :
She has acrylic paints. Little brush. Draws it out and paints. Bought some clear spray for top when dry. I have a video. Will upload if I can.
Rad. It's given me serious thought to selling some of my steampunk NERF blasters.
One of the other operators here just looked at me like I invented fire when I used MDI and handjog to flatten out a spot on a fixture plate before I drilled and tapped it.
On one hand I feel 3% smart.
On the other hand it makes me feel like I could have been doing this job 2 years ago and not wasted so much time as a parts counter jockey. So that makes me feel less smart.
Cleaning/Tidying/Re-organizing the garage is therapeutic.
I bought a part off of eBay in a late night impulse purchase. The seller has been sending me daily updates on shipping status, which is berking awesome because he is a real person, not some faceless corporation.
But his seller name on eBay is berkeleying hilarious.
It's hootushead.
Maybe he is a GRM member?
I've been project-car'ing without You People for about a year or so...
In reply to Woody :
Cheating on us? How could you?!
Confession: I actually like the microwave burgers from the dollar store.
I'm dreaming about a house that is really expensive, but could potentially drop into my price range.
Stuff for sale... Haha
In reply to slowbird :
Is that really actually food though?
In reply to Antihero :
It's not junk food if it's not food.
I have really low standards. But microwaved buns and cheese product is below them. And this fat idiot will eat the sketchy Chinese buffet sushi.
