Random Rants

@tmg there's also a very nice wooden wrist rest for the Minila. Not that I'm trying to push you over the edge, or anything…

How can you run a business so incompetently, that one week you're running employees into the ground at 70+ hours a week and the next not have enough orders to produce a 40 hour week? I understand a port strike has had adverse consequences on business, but you can't honestly expect to keep people like this. Glad I'm already looking elsewhere

Right now I am writing the most boring "dissertation" ever. The subject is quality control (EN ISO 9000 ff for example), due Friday.

[Megatron1505]

Sympathies, I have a 9 hour IOSH training course tomorrow hosted by the worlds most boring man 

[JCMx800]

I feel so sorry for you, I have something similar on Thursday AND Friday.

[Megatron1505]

I don't know about you, but my plan is lots of coffee and sugar…...all day.

[JCMx800]

Coffee at my school… Well, I would not call it coffee. I don´t think they use water. Or coffee.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

…well...quality management and control is my job... 
But somehow I survive

Our system run amuck @jdl1279.  People are the least of their concerns.

That's my plan everyday. And I'm still rolling at 3am. I don't understand it.

[jdl1279]

And laid off…arrrgggghhh!!! At least I now know it to be a port strike as the culprit. Seems we haven't been getting some of the materials required for production and management chose not to say anything down line. I wanted to find something else anyway, but not how I would've liked it to go down

[Anesthetist]

Shit, sorry to hear that Jdl.  You have been on the prowl for something new if I remember correctly? Hope things make a turn for the better soon!

[jdl1279]

Yeah, been looking and have one in particular I'm hoping for. Unfortunate enough it doesn't pick up for a couple weeks, if I get it. I hated where I was, but it paid the bills at least. There seems to be an abundance of good spots available right now, so all likely for the better.

[dylantbmayes]

I am yet to read a good denim book…

More a negative statement than a rant.

[Seul]

God-damn sick people making me have to go into work 

[madmonday]

1st day of spring you say:

[Chris]

High here is supposed to be 79 (26°C). Yup, sounds like spring.

[DougNg]

Now that I'm South of the Mason Dixon Line, I miss the NYC winters

[Jordan23]

Thx to EZB for increasing the amount of the Euro within last days!!!! …for instance the price for the IHWE-Build Nr. 5 is nearly 100 € more now.

Enjoy ya addiction!

[Chris]

Not entirely the EZB's fault on that one:
@Giles:

@den213:

I just coincidentally checked the price on this jacket (since I want to grab one) and it has increased by nearly 50 € over night… gotta love the € >:(.

It is now correct.  I found a bug in the system that was not automatically updating the exchange rates as it should have been.  All € purchases for the last month have been at a "beneficial" rate for the purchaser…..
