ok, so our ridiculous home depot journey only ended up delaying our insane problems by a day or two. long enough for us to find our that our customer has bigger problems then our parts not being clean. they have 7 other vendors who are more messed up then we are. as relieving as this sounds, it also means that the large chunks of metal my product will be passing through the oil system of 60000 large trucks a year, is not the most pressing issue at the moment. that worries me. our shower enclosure and pressure washer set up worked at first. until we tried it again and left someone other then myself to do it. seriously, i spent hours showing grown men twice my age how to tighten nuts yesterday. the leak test fails if you don't tighten nuts. its that simple yet every time (once an hour or more) a failure occurs, they come screaming for me. its gotten to the point that i'm telling management to fuck off and i'm not touching it until they can prove every nut it tight. so they did. i walked out, rechecked the 12 nuts that had to be tight, and found 2 that were obviously loose. i told our plant manager to fuck off and i'm not touching that machine again. he looked at me with helpless disgust because he knows i right. i'm totally justified in telling all these people standing around that they are retarded and its wasting my time.

oh, and the results of our pressure washer experiment? totally screwed up by the co-op we're relying on to run the test accurately. i've stated openly and in multiple emails that this kid has no idea what he's doing and our results are not reliable. so yesterday, the plant manager, the black ops project hitman and myself decided to watch him do a test. i was once again totally correct. this kid was fucking up so bad that every crazy test we've tried was basically useless because he tested all the results incorrectly. disappointing and depressing don't even begin to explain how i felt at 7:00 last night when i finally left.

ugh.

i need to get out of this place.

Jesus man. We all got shit going on at work. But its just work. Do what you can and thats that. Your going to give yourself and ulcer. I suggest a hooker tonight.

damn son, you should be running that place. can you fire people? you should fire people.

i think brancy is right, most work has its problems. but i know it can be pretty frustrating. like overall, i like my job. but the thing is, as a company we set certain expectations. but if the other side pushes, we compromise most of the time. but it's really my boss with the authority to change what we can do, but since i'm the conduit between customers/other companies and our company, everyone thinks i'm an asshole or i'm fucking retarded for setting certain standards or arguing for certain things and then later conceding stuff.

anyway, if you give me a raise i'll tighten bolts for your project so that you stop failing leak tests.

i have a giant 18" caliper set that i use at work, i've nicknamed it "HoboKiller". maybe i'll hack me up some hooker while i'm at it. it looks like a nice sized axe.

dude. I'd be careful blogging about work. this site is free to the world.
