Everyone wants round things made smaller these days.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

Holy cow are we busy! 

My minion is working like 60hr weeks. Me too to support him.

I hired a guy part time second shift so that's good for about 15 extra hrs a week.

I am going to work 3rd shift for the next two or three weeks to help us stay ahead of the game.

I am seriously looking at adding another lathe with a magazine barfeeder (loads replacement material from the magazine all on its own)

Customers are very happy with us and are basically hurling work my way as fast as ill take it.

These days its goes like this: sweet, we got the order.....make the beast with two backs, we got the order

;D

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

Seriously though, congrats man! Great to see that your business is flourishing like this.
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.
