Very rarely but it is extraordinary when your expectations get violated like that.
I started work on a massive project on Friday and shortly into running the first program my main cnc machine threw an error. Tried to swap out the tool and there was a loud buzzing so I had to estop it. Essentially have a locked up brake on a motor that's crucial to operation.
New fuses came in today so I can keep troubleshooting.
ive lived in work overload mode my entire tenure with this company (18 years) and its a company culture thing
run so lean that the work piles up and there is sort of a filtering out of what is truly necessary because if you keep working on the top of the stack what winds up at the bottom was not really needed or it would have been moved back to the top
just keep moving more and more buckets around to catch the drips, no time to fix the roof because we're too busy with all these buckets
The guy in the photo was really a Fazer, right? Then the fucker in the hat went and messed with him

Back in the day my wife didn't think that pic was funny. We've moved past it, but it almost ended the marriage.

It took me half an hour this morning to submit my info for a $28 meal reimbursement. And I now have nine emails in my inbox that are nothing more than notifications that it's made it through some step in the approval process. Very smart. Stable genius.
One year at the Italian market festival espositos ran out of rolls for their roast pork sandwiches and was just stuffing pork into plastic cups. Pork cups are delicious.
I hate attending maintenance windows because things can go sideways even when you prepare and plan but thankfully this may have been one of the easier ones
So we have a few kinds of scanners. Our hand scanners, we use for detailed things. I've done a ton of work for Microsoft Flight Simulator. They need to see all the little buttons and dials and whatnot, so it's perfect for aircraft scanning.
In a small plane, I would imagine the photogrammetry scanner would collect 2-4000 frames. Something like that. The guy I sent out this week took 56,000 frames. I can't even fucking load it. I did a 1/8 frame sample input and I can barely load that. What the actual fuck. It's like an order of magnitude too big. I don't even know how it's possible. What the actual fuck.
I did a sort of dangerous thing with a confined space because I thought I knew it. I had been there twice (I thought). Turns out I had never been there once, but was at their sister site a couple miles away.
The algae or whatever was consuming the oxygen in a dam turbine tunnel under the river. I for sure thought I had done this one twice. Nope!
Keep up on your confined space training bros. Try to not die on site.
If you see that businesses are hiring but you're already employed or otherwise not looking for work; I think it'd be polite to inform them of such, so they aren't holding out hope.
we have a short wrapping that involved 2ish artists, where we'd normally have a team of 10, done way under budget and on time, and looks "very successful".
I need to judge for myself but the supe on it was explaining the process and i think im hosed. I give it a year max before the hweedwhacker gets a hwhackin
