Play time is over!

[Timothy]

First day back at work for the old company I left about two years ago.  Seems like only yesterday....

The company has made huge strides to make the work infinitely more complex and difficult to perform!  Never let a dozen engineers put their minds together for anything more than a moment!  Nothing good can come of it...

On a positive note....since we have have so many new, raw, over educated college boys, it's a target rich environment!   

It's work!  If it were fun, they'd call it fun, right?  Damn glad to have it....

There was a silent cheer from the mechanics when I walked through the shop...that was nice....

Amen Timothy.......Choose your targets well,....

+1 on the engineers.....

All the best,...

Yea, shut your eyes and throw a _________ (you fill in the blank).  Feel for ya.  I worked for/with a bunch of PE's including some at the Federal level....what a pain.

Ah but there's job security in both chaos and complexity.   If it were easy, then anybody could do it.  As long as nobody else can figure it out, you've got a job!

So in the middle of total calamity, when everyone else is panicking. you'll have a quite smile on your face and only we will know why.

I got lucky today!  I had a lot of help from the mechanics on the floor lobbying for my return!  That meant more to me than any amount of money I'll make!

That's awesome, Timothy!!

I know I'm a jackass at times, but I missed this thread completely until this morning, so I haven't responded, so it's not cuz I'm a jackass - just not on here as much as I would like to be. I finally went back to work this February, had to travel to do it, but lucked into a very good gig. But it's long days, away from home for a stretch, and dealing with TSA wonks. At least they're both small town airports, so it's not as bad as the .gov drones at places like Denver and Chicago.

Congrats Tim!

I see you've got your "Machinery's Handbook" moved in.

I see you've got your "Machinery's Handbook" moved in. 

I pack light...calculator, MH, a pen, highlighters, tape measure, couple of Starrett machinist rules that are older 'un me (dads), a thermos and a cup o joe...been that way for twenty years.  It makes for fast exits...

And.....

Some TP...

Looks like my desk but in tan, even have a similar phone.  My MH stays in my toolbox by the EZtrak but I haven't seen much of either for the last two weeks.  Working with engineers is a pain, working with customer's engineers approving everything is even worse and working for .gov contractor engineers is a level in hell I am sure.

A simple conveyor system can be seriously messed up with that many engineers involved and I get to sit at the bottom of the hill catching all the sh@t and make it work. 

BUT a week of school and I'm done with classes for my BA in Business and I can turn up the job search effort.  I already have resumes out and a recruiter working for me but I need to get my eyes on some job openings.  Any suggestions?
