Stella

Got home last night from an event, charged my dead phone and found 24 texts â€" various family & friends group texts.

Mamacita is getting more ornery than ever.
Cousin just diagnosed with cancer just about everywhere, not expected to make it more than another week or 3.
Another friend who's divorcing... (I think that's 4 this year)

Jeebus.  Thinking of just tossing my phone.  None of that happens then, right?


I was told by my boss today when I called him from the road - responding to a v-mail that he left me â€" that I was interrupting another phone call that he was on.  Like I would know that.    [laugh]    [bang]   effer.


But, then there's friends and family and the DMF who are fun and nice and just make life better.    [thumbsup]

Sorry Stella. My week was not that bad.

I did have someone at work say that I was hired for show. They think no real safety change is wanted and I will not get far.

My plan is to do what I can.  [drink] [drink]

Didn't we talk about that on the way in?

Yes, but I am already making changes that are helping the hourly worker.  [thumbsup]

I'm sure they did but, as we all know, often times in business it's far cheaper to pay the fines than to make the changes necessary to eliminate the fines.

They can't keep middle managers either. The new manager of the die cast shop starts on the 19th. the last one was there 2 months. Plastics needs a manger too. They workers that make the parts in die cast make less than 20 bucks an hour. I would get a new job if I was them.

I am working on a State of Safety Address. My boss has my back, and says to be honest, but with tact. My big win for the workers has been to get a boot allowance approved. I announce it next week!

Well....you can short the stock prior to the inevitable lawsuit.

I picked up my new fan today. No idea how to wire it  :P
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

It's 110/220.

Got about 8 wires sticking out of it.

A VFD would be nice, assuming it would give me a variable speed fan.
