lol..that's a funny one zippy. What'd you have to do that for anyway?

Stupid useless fuckers that contracted with a company we distribute for, I have had to drive all that way to put a printer ON LINE before , NO SHIT !!!
Hell I have had to drive 4 hours ONE WAY to say
"Sir "
CLICK
" You have to turn it on before it will work !!"

Did you do it with a smirk on your face?

No I kept a streight face( Sign here Please ) untill I drove off , then I had to pull over and laugh !!
It happens ALL the time , customers FREAKING over NOTHING !!!!

The System got HIT BY LIGHTNING !!!!!

No the System is GROUNDED , the printer was just off line / the paper was twisted / the ribbon was twisted / the NEW operator didn't know how to operate the equipment / they crashed a 50 ton dump truck in to the side of the truck scale / Oh it DID get HIT DIDN'T IT !!!!!! Power it down and let me grab a FIRE Extinguisher !!!! / etc,,,,,

So your bosses are a bit dopey?

Boss is NEW ( less than 3 years ) I have been doing this job for 18+ years , and I am the sucker than can tell you how to set the time and date on a scale indicator at 2AM blind stinking drunk , how to calabrate it , How to trouble shoot it , etc,,,,,,
My cell phone is BUSY !!!!

Here is a typical call " Well the back up battery is dissconnected , and the Indicator has been powered down for 2 weeks + , do you think some of the settings are corrupted ???"

My responce " Well probley , I would go thru setup again and just look and see what is set to what , and if it is totally Screwed (as I suspect it is ) I would do a factory default on it and start from scratch "

"Oh Man calabration , the ticket and every thing else ??!!??"

Me " YUP !!!"

Velcome to MY world !!!

Gee Zippy, maybe you should just stop being so damned good at your job. ;)

I used to get drafted into doing IT work, and worse, much-MUCH worse, training upper management on Microsoft software at my old company... I finally said "No more... fire me".

I bet none of you fuckers made some of the worlds best booze! The alcohol I made for Cruzan won the best Rum in the world 5 years in a row.... the whole 5 years they were using the batch I made.
I am very proud of that. I worked VERY hard for that company and helped raise the standards of that plant. I was a trainer as well as hands-on.

Though some of you may have been on TV and in Movies like me, bet none of you fuckers were trackers in Nova and National Geographic specials?
Yup, tracking Bald Eagles on our ranch. Many years ago, did it twice, once for each channel.

I bet none of you fuckers are going to try to stay up for 32 hours straight today to change a sleep schedule.










Maybe with an hour or two nap in between.... :D

I used to have to do that every couple of weeks when I was on swing-shift... it sucks, I feel ya' man.

I'll bet none of you fuckers had to pick fly shit out of a pepper shaker...

Ugh, I've done that too many times in my life.

I do it fairly regularly.

Try doing it after a 12-hour plane flight, by staying up the night you get back and then having to go to work the next day - manual labour painting houses, no less.
That certainly kills jetlag, at least... I was up for 48 hours, give or take, then BAM, slept perfectly.

Why didn't you just eat it?

I don't think it would fit through the little holes...
