Open Bar: ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL

[Junkenstein]

I'll bet on the following:

You shut down for about 2 weeks on Friday.
You will not be allowed to leave prior to normal times.
An effigy of you will be burnt in the car park.

Anything less and quite frankly I'll be disappointed.

Professional aside, looks like a nice bit of work. Somewhat surprised it's not being refurbed into housing, structure seems sound enough. Industrial area?

It's a horribly toxic site, the second worst Superfund site in the area. Which is actually saying kind of a lot, because one of Portland's little-known secrets is that it's horribly polluted.

HOWEVER, THAT'S NO EXCUSE.

Here's a nice Flickr page with photos of the interior: http://www.flickr.com/photos/synikat/sets/72157625414366434/with/5186333356/

Well, I've just been told that they are considering disciplinary action for one of my guys, because the engineer told him fucked up shit.

We all just got really dumb.  Really, really dumb.

They refurbish old buildings for housing there??? Here, in one the most crowded countries in the world we have a constant of 10-15% empty officebuildings here and a pressing shortage of affordable lvingspace.

Oh hell yes, we do. We have urban growth boundaries here, and that means that if there's a way to shoehorn a bathroom into it, we'll convert it to living space.

Probably not a good idea with that PARTICULAR industrial building, I doubt anyone should live there, but a lot of the old industrial buildings and warehouses have been converted to lofts.

I am horribly, horribly sick with the head/cold/chest thing that I thought I dodged.  I had trouble driving into work.

But I DID come into work.  I wish to share, because it's the season of giving.

You just give and give and give. You're one of the most generous people your co-workers know.

And now I am DETERMINED to get them all sick.

Disciplinary action for him, because someone else gave him bad information? That makes no sense.

Neither does the fact that Mike decided to leave a machine down over the weekend mean that I am somehow to blame.  Because he was in charge of the plant and decided not to have us fix it.

But I am, as are my guys.

This happens to every maintenance shop, everywhere, ever.  So now we have to play the stupid game for a while.

That is a giant load of crap. I hope that place catches on fire after you leave it.

Why wait?  As of this morning, NOTHING gets down without ALL the paperwork being straight.  NOTHING.  Toilet's flooding the office building?  I need a work order.  I'll wait.

Man, I hate that shit. You follow your fucking chain of command and carry out the orders you are given and you are shit on for not knowing better, just like you'd have been shit on for bucking the chain of command and/or not following orders. Fuck those guys.

They wanna borrow a hammer? Gee whiz, I'm not sure what exactly a hammer is let alone where we keep 'em. Everything is just so topsy-turvy down here, I mean hell, we can't even do XX right, right?

Ass bags.

That's actually happening, by the way.

And the rules CLEARLY state that we need a work order AND a permit before performing any maintenance activities.

Oh, no.  They can borrow a hammer.  There's a form for that.  No shit.
