Tomorrow should be a little “interesting” for me at work. One of our Techs, the owners “pet”, messed-up and burned out a $2,600 (our cost) controller. I won’t go into details, but right before I left this afternoon the boss essentially told me to lie to our customer and tell them it was that way when we got there. In other words, I’m supposed quote a replacement controller to them…..

Check your ethics and morals at the door, I guess.

Anyway, I’m going to hold my ground, and if push comes to shove, I may be “retiring” this year after all. We’ll see!

Good for you Jim, we got enough *** kissers around and need more people with values.

Stand by your morals. Right is right and lying in this case is like fraud. You will never regret doing the right thing.

Think I've posted the story of the time I drove our manager to the dinner we were invited to at the AMC camp on the other side of the ridge. At the end of season we're all talking and he said how scary my car was to ride in. I look at him quizacly and ask, "was it my driving?" Because I recall I was being relatively conservative. And what I didn't say but we all knew, is that he drove his Jetta like a maniac. He says, no my driving was fine, it was just because their were no airbags. I said something to the effect of that shouldn't make a difference if one drives in manner not to crash.

Talk about curing diseases, well, we weren't actually but I'll run with that. Brewing up a big pot of chicken and noodles. I made my own stock with a Sam's rotisserie chicken. It's bubbling away on the stove. Smells heavenly in here.

save even more money and arteries. Roast a chicken with veggies. Now you got a dinner or more. When all the easy meat and veggies are gone fill with water and put in the oven to cook for a while. The rest othe meat practically falls offthe bone and the liquid goes right into making soup.

I remember the first generation air bags. I worked at the port that brought in the new cars from different countries and when the cars got loose on the ship in a storm the cars were considered totaled and I worked in the body shop and a long story short I would have to dismantle the new destroyed cars to make ready for the scrap yard. you know gas tank, oil, tranny fluid all drained. Also had to blow the air bags. It was quite a spectacular explosion setting them off. Broke the front seats and about blew the windshield out of the cars.
Did that to about 100 cars in one year. To this day you can shove the air bags up the designer's ***.

I think it does also. My wife comes in and says it smells like old gym socks.

to the weather guessers here. Not only did it reach the 82° guess of this morning, it surpassed it to 88° :rolleyes:.
Funny thing is, the wind is blowing the wrong direction for that sort of high.
 
Lynda swept and mopped all of the floors in my house this morning, so I was compelled to make breakfast for her
