honestly i am currently getting sick. i absolutely hate working in a big office.

i've been actually sick more in the last 8 years working here than i have been sick total the other 23 years alive. i'm talking like 10x more. i am one who rarely gets sick normally. this place is a fuckin disgusting mix of idiots who dont take off when sick and others who just are filthy people.

yea def getting bad. my big boss came over said "you arent looking too good are you sure you should be here?"

forgot where i was and my response was"yea, i'm straight......i mean yea i'm ok for now."

boss is a bit older didnt understand the terminology lol

At the plant. We had a staff of 25 total. If you was sick. They told you to stay home. Because we was running thin to begin with.

I had a different kind of training. My dad's mantra was "You don't call in sick, you crawl in sick." On the one hand, I understand the 'no excuses' mindset. On the other, if my co-workers were to infect me with their disease, I'd be displeased. So if I'm sick, I just work from home.

Just finishing phone calls, taking a break, having Pluckers for lunch and then going to work at the clinic till 11p.

Overall, its gonna be a good day. I have a great crew working w me today at the clinic. Sorry can not say that everyday as we have Miss Piggy med assistant on some days who is completely unprofessional, useless and we are trying to get her kicked to the curb. We are concerned she may harm one of our little patients and that is not gonna cut it.

It was only on the north side and it was flurries at best, but still counted. Having the kiddos out today wouldn’t of been the best idea though.

Every org has one of those. In some, though, they have greater potential for harm...

Well...... when you have 3 guys on shift. You can't afford to have 2 guys call off. :eek:

Had a guy like that. Paul. He take tools out of the shop and go work on equipment. When he was done. He would leave all of the tools there where he was working at. :mad: If you needed a tool that Paul was using. You had to find out where he was working last. Then go there to find that tool. :mad:

He's in Toronto

Yup, true that.

I forgot the question and to who. Seem like so long ago. :icon14:

He wasn't in this thread. If he brings it to the house. I'll change his diff bushings. Long as he doesn't bring me any of that fries with crappy cheese.

:icon17:

When I did mine in the 80's. You only had 8 for auto for a masters.

Yep; still only 8 required for masters status on Auto; though they’ve added many more. :)

Busted *** to get my to-do list done. :rock: It is my Friday so now it is cruise through the night and pray the phone doesnt ring.
Time to bust out the fun stuff- researching how to install NSX on my ESXi clusters. :icon17: So much excitement I can barely contain myself.

I found a small space heater, will be good for thawing out fingers, not so much for warming the garage.

May have to put up a partition/divider,,,and block off other 1/2 :ugh2:

I’ll be good,,,get plenty of clothes on & drugs flowing :icon17:

Layer the clothes and pop the good stuff. :tup:

With you living up north. I can't believe you don't have portable heat. I have 2 Kero-Sun Omni 105's, 1 oil filled radiant heater, and 1 ceramic heater. One Kero-Sun would heat my dad's garage from 20F to 60F in 45 minutes. The garage size was 30ft x 24ft with 9ft ceiling. If I was working with fuel. I would shut the heater off before I started to work. I also keep 20gal of kerosene on hand at all times.

I just dont work out in the garage in the winter. Problem solved!

Yeah, I think that is a very wise decision. :icon17:

Wuss! That's project time. :tup:

I've seen what happens and how quick too. First hand. In high school. At my buddy's garage. We was working on his Honda CL350 motorcycle. I just finished up rebuilding his engine. Was buttoning everything up. Last thing we was doing, was installing the gas tank. Did that, and Tommy started to put gas in the tank. He forgot to install the crossover hose between the 2 half's of the tank. Gas covered the engine and hit the floor. In the corner of the garage was a little natural gas space heater that was on. We watched the flumes from the gas make a bee line to the heater and ignite. The flames traveled right back to the bike. Toasting it. :shakes head: Well..... I rebuilt the whole bike for him this time around. :shakes head:
