So. Everyone was whimpering that we're FUCKED and DOOMED because this sapphire plate we need for the jet mill was MADE WRONG and the SLOT isn't big enough and we're gonna shut the client down and ABANDON SHIP.
Me: "So we make the slot bigger."
Mike: "You can't. The plate has a Mohs hardness value of 9. The only thing harder than it is diamond, and a diamond bit will shatter the plate."
Me: "Ima cut it."
Mike: "Didn't you hear me?"
Me: "No. Because you're DUMB and WRONG."
Jim: "What the hell are you going to do?"
Me: "I'm gonna cut that bitch with WATER."
Jim: "Huh?"
Me: "Water cutting. It's ancient shit, goes back 10 years or more in it's modern form. You know that shit Japanese chefs do with a carrot? They can do that with titanium. Water doesn't compress, you know that. You can cut ANYTHING with it, and I happen to know a machine shop that has a water jet."
Mike: "Won't work." *sulks*
Me: "Out of the way, jackass, we're doing MATERIAL SCIENCE up in this shit!"
Moral of the story: If you aren't the maintenance jerk, don't tell the maintenance jerk what is and isn't possible. Jackass.

I am dragging the rest of the management team kicking and screaming into the late 20th century.
Also, until recently, most water cutters have been used by metals artists. These People think dogs playing poker is art.

Yeah, they are a major thing in the art world. I first heard of them 14 years ago relating to cutting glass.

They can cut ANYTHING. Except, apparently, the crap.
WAAAAAAAIT
How the FUCK do you..
I don't even know how the much fuck my head is full of at the concept of people who are supposedly educated in some manner of anything that relates to manufacturing and NOT know about water cutting.
I think I remember learning about them in high school shop class.

Thing is, I'm sure he HAS heard about it...But failed to think about it at the time. Since someone ELSE thought of it, it can't be right or true.

I WILL DENY THAT IT EXISTS OR IS POSSIBLE
BECAUSE TO ADMIT THAT I DIDN'T THINK OF IT WOULD MAKE ME LOOK DUMB.

I love people who are hamstrung like that. It's like they move in slow motion.
Me, when someone comes up with a better idea, I jump right on board. The image that gives off is "team player" and "solution-oriented", and I get to hijack some of the glory without fucking the guy who thought of the idea out of his limelight.

Exactly. It's all of the benefits of having actually thought of it yourself, without any of the responsibility if it goes wrong.
I often like to give other people credit for my ideas for that very reason.

Filthy assistant likes to steal credit. So I say BAD IDEAS around him.
Which is, of course, like shipping coals to Newcastle.

Water cutting. It's ancient shit,
I think you could point him to an accurate real world demonstration. They have a water cutter at the bottom of the Grand Canyon that's still running...
