OPEN BAR: NO CISNORMATIVE ELVEN PATRIARCHS ALLOWED

[Eater of Clowns]

You built the future Roger and it is a flawless sapphire the size of your head that will flay the flesh to the bone of the fool who touches it.

[The Wizard Joseph]

Cool Dok. I see now that you're just sad and a bit upset, not rattled by a fallen star like I thought. In the end I have little doubt that somehow you will ultimately benefit and help bring on The Future.

Been working all day and am wiped. Totally into the Harry Potter Methods of Rationality fic! Gonna read up some here though. I have yet to break the chain!

The management post I was looking into has really bad problems not unlike some of the work crimes ranted upon earlier ITT. Nothing I couldn't handle I think. Deets another day when I'm SURE of some things. Extracting recommendation letters from my own manager and supervisor was amusing. There's no small amount of mutual respect among the three of us, but I do not think that they quite ever expected me to call in my bets and cash my chips.

Best part is the worst thing that can happen is the owner says no, and I keep on my job 2 recommendation to management letters richer!

Gave presentation tonight about somewhat complex computery topic. Have given it once before but tonight's audience really knew their shit so it was more important to not be full of it.

Went well.

[LMNO]

The bodies are starting to pile up, LMNO.  This time last year, we were dysfunctional as hell, but we got shit done.

Get going, while the getting is good.  You don't need to be the one playing fiddle while the Titanic takes another run at the iceberg.

Congrats.

That's a good point.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Acted human.

Yeah, I know.   

It's still like he just shat all over the future.  I've decided to hang on for 6 weeks, in order to get my revenge (Lillie has a history of this, I have discovered, and I hate her and I don't feel like being fair), and to see if the new boss we get is going to cut the mustard.  If there's no light at the end of the tunnel by then, I bail.

Maybe the new boss will be better than you anticipate.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

So my internet at home has shit the bed.

Complication: My ex is still paying for it. We have talked about this several times and he is convinced that he isn't, but HE IS.

I guess when you make that kind of money a little thing like accidentally paying your ex-wife's utilities for seven years is no biggie. However, the problem is that I can't GET THIS FIXED without him unless I tell Comcast that I'm moving to my house and need new service, in which case in a week and a half they will come out and charge me $50 to "hook up my service".

It's early in the month. Perhaps he has detected it and canceled. It would be necessary to call the company, or your ex, to find out. Sorry to hear Nigel.

At my job, math and physics are not a thing.

If a compressor is drawing the right number of amps and is at pressure, it is delivering its rated SCFM (flow).  Period.  BUT NOT HERE.

Flailing away at jet mill problems, Lillie has decided she is the troubleshooting queen and that Mike and I are technicians.



I had a suggestion on how to get out of this mess.  I tried to bring it up.  I was told I didn't know shit.

FINE!     I DON'T KNOW SHIT!   

YEW JUS' TELL ME WHAT TO DO, LADY, CUZ I DON'T GIVE NO MORE FUCKS.

Flow too high or too low?

Flow too low -> Flow is being redirected into the REAL tuscon, the one only visible in nightmares and from the corner of your eye

Flow too high -> you are getting more out of a closed system then you put in. You can get away with it for now, but one day They will come and they will be looking for payment.

Well, on the plus side she has decided to take the responsibility for when it all goes wrong.

[LMNO]

I'm impressed you managed to say that without a hint of sarcasm.

[Cain]

 

In other news, tonight's my first night back at work since...the earlier events described.  I've not been checking my emails because...basically, I have better things to do in my time off than think about work.  But I suppose I should brace myself.

Here's the thing.  I don't CARE.

In any case, update:  We have proven by running 2 out of 3 compressors in all 3 possible modes, that we are making enough air.  To do so, we had to shut the lab and part of production down.

Lillie then decided she wants to try running product in all 3 modes, even though we have ruled the compressors out.

Physics < Lillie's desperation and ignorance.  Remember, this was the lady that once asked me if we could run more equipment than we had amps for, if we only did it for 12 hours, and who told me I was being "difficult" when I told her that wasn't possible.
