Mechanical contractor hired to install the new mill:  Not millwrights.
Mill:  Not functioning.  Brand new $38,000 gearbox compromised, probably ruined.
Mill Gears:  8' diameter brass gears.  8 month lead time, $95,000.  Looks like someone crumpled it up and shat on it.
Project Manager:  Mike the Engineer.  Not even in town.
My boss:  Stop worrying about the project, it's not yours.
My boss in 3 weeks:  Roger, why is the mill fucked up?

Also, when questions of a maintenance variety crop up, it is best to ask other supervisors what to do.  The scheduler, for example.  Or the accounts payable lady.  Under no circumstances should we accept or even listen to the maintenance supervisor.

I think I want to quit my job.

I think your job is trying to quit you so the whole place can blow into smithereens the way it's meant to without your pesky, untimely interruptions.

Well, we couldn't use the millwrights that ALWAYS do our mills, because I foolishly suggested it.

Now the yahoos are over there with the DOORS CLOSED, so that I and my crew can't tell them they're doin' it wrong.  UNFORTUNATELY, that doesn't keep THE LAWS OF PHYSICS out, EVEN IF YOU TURN THE LIGHTS OFF.

The real world:  Terribly inconvenient/inconsiderate.

In a functioning ball mill, vibrations should read about 3 gravities when measured on the frame.

In this ball mill, the concrete pads supporting the mill are moving around.  This suggests slightly more than 3 gravities. In fact, I did the math, and it's about 200 gravities.

Conclusion:  33000 KG ball will shortly detach from mill and go wandering around the property at about 35 MPH.

If you're thinking about it, do it. Stupidest thing I've done for a while was not quitting that shitty job sooner. Don't get blown up by some useless lackwit.

Every time I start to quit, they stun my brain with my annual bonus.

This is full of 1" diameter alumina ball media.  It will not roll straight.  No.  It will roll like Teddy Kennedy driving over a bridge, only without the bridge.  It will NOT stay between the navigational beacons.  It will be a free spirit, roaming as it wills.  Short answer:  Run if you like, you'll only die tired.

Ah.

So gather your foes, rent a helicopter and offer the free seat up for bidding.

Early retirement awaits.
