As of today at work we no longer have to wear those stupid, hot nylon reflective vests over our nomex. Wearing nomex over street clothes gets hot enough in Summer but thhose vests made to damn many layers.

What brought about the change of policy?  :orly:
I don't know. Perhaps someone figured out that everyone in the new unit gets hot as shit wearing the vests and no one has been run over in our 4.5 mph work zone?

I get to be Queen for a day, that is fill in as Foreman on Thursday since my boss is taking the day off. That, in and of itself, is not so special (although 12.5% extra for 11 hours equivalent straight time pay is good) but the reaction of my toolie is priceless. We have been working together for about 3 months and he has been carrying a radio, making a point of giving the Foreman the amount of conduit done etc everyday. So today when my Foreman mentioned being gone on Thursday I threw out "Fine, I'll take over" as a throw away comment and Andy said I got the job when he is gone. On the way out of the plant my toolie made it clear that he is being transferred off the crew and it became clear that not getting Queen for a day is the reason.  :lol: What was left unsaid but appears obvious to me is that he was actively lobbying for the job and does not like that I was able to get it with no real effort.  :hahaha: My toolie is smart and a hard worker but he is not as smart as he thinks he is. He doesn't seem to have any idea how petty this is making him look. Fuck it. If he wants to shoot himself in the ass I won't even try to stop him.

How did being Queen for a day go?  Did he transfer?

  :evillaugh: No, he apparently thought he had a friend with influence. What he did on Friday was interrupt me three times in front of the Foreman until I said something like "That is a product line? Do you get that? That is a beam, do you understand that?", at which point he asked for another toolie because he didn't like me getting mad. I fired back that if I didn't have an asshole interrupting me 3 successive times I wouldn't have gotten pissed and then I explained something about the job as if I was talking to a third grader. We got put with different toolies and he is still wearing the radio and humping the Foreman's leg.

My synth finally arrived. It's in surprisingly good shape but it's going to need a thorough cleanup inside. Two keys are almost dead and another two have problems with velocity, which was to be expected. The D-50 problems usually have something to do with the keybed and are usually fixable without too much trouble.

The dust bunnies mentioned in a post yesterday have attacked this synth.

Good things always come in late (and big?) packages.

This one was positively huge. :laugh:

I'm glad your huge package.........came  :P

Work was throwing away perfectly good cartridges they did not need and I claimed them and will sell them on ebay and split it profit with the stationary guy.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.
