I can't remember anything

New Porch Pot. They will probably die, as soon as I bought them the night time temps dropped back down in the 40's. Hurray.

I had my teeth cleaned this morning and I told Chrissie I was pretty sure I had some horrible thing going on that I was sure was a fatal disease she needed to check for, but I could not remember what it was. She did not see anything suspicious.

I had something hilarious I saw recently that I knew I should blog about, can't remember what it was.

Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind, not.

Work is starting to just a tiny bit better. They sent a guy to shadow me and he has confirmed that management has lost their minds and keeps trying to tell me I am doing a great job. We will see. For some reason my laptop and tablet will not "talk" to the company system and I am waiting to see if they fix it or yell at me for not putting the shit in the system. Then I will remind them, again their system does not work.

Funny of the day:

And it is a work story. I try really hard to protect the identity of all involved in work life, but I think I can do this one okay. One of my parts sticks on the vehicle. The operator is supposed to prep the vehicle with an alcohol wipe and then remove the film on the tape. The operator then puts the part in an applicator and presses the part in place on the vehicle. I got a call that the part would not stick and is falling off the vehicle in station, which means when the operator puts it on.

Not only is the operator not using the alcohol wipe, he is also pulling the tape off 20 or 30 parts in advance and laying them sticky side down on his container. But his other operation on the job description is to spray lubricant on another part of mine so he can attach that part "home".

Why would you ask someone to put a part on in a clean environment after you lubed the fuck out of your gloves to get another part on. Gotta give kudos to the plant person who actually shook his head when he walked away from me.

No longer a newbie

I feel settled in and comfortable at work, I have an idea of what they want and what every person considers their personal "nut". This is hilarious as I guy I used to work with at my old job, and currently work with at this job, just gave notice. He and I do the same job and always have and he was offered a job by the customer. In effect he will be in charge of the shit he used to ship in. I have a feeling my old company will rue the day they let him go and my new company just won't get it. He is younger than I am and still looking to be a valued employee of a good company. My current company views us as expensive and necessary evils, but we will never be valued employees, more like hired guns. Which is fine with me, I don't want to go to the company picnic and Christmas party. I also get insurance through my husband. My colleague wanted more and the customer offered him a job out of the blue. I say good for you and I will be entertained by all the reactions.

My boss believes that managing people is correcting emails. He likes to add additional information that he thinks enhances the content, I just think he is one of those people that must change everything. Whatever. He also takes 3 times longer to order lunch and eat it than anyone else in the world. Hey, as long as I know the rules I am fine with this.

Monday I need to take a grocery sack full of cookies into the materials launch area as those guys are getting real tired of seeing my face asking them for favors. Favors such as "we have sent you in a new iteration of fucked up parts and can we swap them out again"? This of course requires 3 guys and a Hi-lo. WTF.

Got a pedicure this morning, picked up my dress from the dressmaker, and unwrapped my underwear order. Bare Necessities is the best, they carry the best brands at a discount and I have used them for years. Besides the stuff I needed I found a Calvin Klein nightshirt on sale. Now all I need is a bag for the wedding.
