Modern packaging - harder to open than Jan's wallet!
Got half a pack of 'Weetabix' spread all over the kitchen, and later, cooked ham in the washing-up bowl!
What ever happened to packages designed to be bl**dy well opened!!
 
I hate working for someone that really has no clue how to run a crew. So much wasted motion, re-doing things that should not have been done in the first place.
Most of my life was spent supervising crews that I would hire by the day to move household goods, I had to pay them out of my own pocket, so I got good at it fast.
I was issued instructions today to, not open the boxes, then to open them, then to open and dump them out, then to not dump them out, then to somehow divine which boxes contained breakables without opening them, then back to open all the boxes. After each change I smiled and said, "O.K." and at quitting time I went home.
I wonder what she will want tomorrow.
 
She is a product of Community college. It is difficult when I have 20 years on her and vastly more experience, I owned a gas station/convenience store for 5 years and did the Owner/operator moving thing for many more. Supporting myself since the age of 14 made me old before my time. I resist, (and will continue to resist), giving any opinion on how to do things. I keep my mouth shut, smile, and put in my hours, daydreaming about how to make the radiators on the Curtiss racer.
 
Another brilliant piece of mismanagement today, the manager over-scheduled so when I showed up, (15 minutes early, as is my practice) she says, "Oh, I tried to call you."
Bullsh!t.
No missed calls on my cell and no new calls on my home phone. That leaves only two options, she is either a fool or a liar. I have no desire to work for either one, I will look for work again, and when I find something, I will be out of there like a shot!
 
Seems like some people have no concept of Caller I.D. Paul. Started the first of my 15 day vacation today...flu symptoms promptly show up. How can such a dainty, waif-like nose hold so much snot.

Is feeling a lot more nervous than I thought I would, before eye surgery tomorrow.
Is dripping the proper eye with pre-op eye drops as I should - damn, didn't know it would be so hard to aim properly!
Wet cheek, wet eyebrow, wet eyelid - until finally: Bingo!
It doesn't make it any better that the stupid tiny bottle is hard to squeeze.
YES! I'm nervous.
 
Good luck for tomorrow Maria.
Sorry to hear about your loss VZ.
Not really annoyed, but rather very irritated. Been doing more research into the BoB, and reading through three relatively new books. Each of them have a number of totally incorrect info in photo captions, along with what seems to be the norm lately - photos from different theaters, purporting to show scenes from the Battle - but to cap it all, one author, supposedly a 'leading authority', has a particular Luftwaffe unit attacking the wrong target!!
Most of the general info in all three books was relatively accurate, but the above mentioned errors are frequent and many, and the sort of thing which, at some stage in the future, could affect the real history of the Battle.
 
Discovering a material change in one of our moulded products has lead to some failures, tomorrow I dtermine how widespread it is and just what needs to be quarantined and returned...hoping it's a small problem....
 
Surgery went well - thanks, guys.
But I must admit that I hated the feeling of the tiny thin needle being inserted several times in the lens/thin membrane-thing in my eye, when the surgeon sedated my lens-thing - EW!!! EW!!! EW!!!
I *know* that it was to help me get better, but still - EWWW!!!!!!
And the surgeon's "Keep looking into the light! Deep breath - relax!" - easier said than done mate, when your fiddling with my eye made the darned light dance all over the place!!!
And relaxing? Forget it, when you *know* that he's cutting up your eye!*growls*
But now it's over and done with, and there's only one eye to go.
