just excuses to not pay to the working classes! I mean the companies.
 
i totally effed up my wife and daughters car insurances when we changed cars a couple of months ago and they both have been driving without an insurance since june.
my wife got pulled over today by the police and that's how we found out !
very fortunately nothing happened in the mean time and the police believed my wife and didn't impound her car and i have now sorted everything out.

and most importantly she didn't kill me when she got home
 
All's well that ends well.
 
Sometimes you are lucky without knowing.
Good that things got sorted.
Hope your wife is over it soon and not too mad.
all is well for now !
we have to go to the police station today with proof of insurance, which we now have.

basically when our Daughter needed a new car i gave her mine as it had all the gadgets she wanted and was more suitable for her needs and i bought a new one.
so when i went online to change our insurance details, i somehow put my wife on my daughters car, deleted my wifes car totally from our policy and kept our Daughter insured on her old car which we had sold to one of her fellow university students.

how that happened i do not know and in some way its a good thing its happened as we wouldnt of know otherwise.
 
Found out today that somebody or something screwed the pooch with the AED down where a buddy was working on Friday morning. The one his crew mates grabbed was dead and had to run to another location for a second one. Paramedics and EMTs are usually 2 minutes or less from the time the phone rings in our dispatch office to where he was.

Coworker is in the hospital for a bit, as an AED was implanted yesterday. He gets more years with the wife, kids and grandkids now, and he's only in his 50's.

If they have them where you work, take the time to find out how often they get checked for operability... One that doesn't power up or have enough battery capacity is useless.
 
Today was a classic at work. at 3PM the scheduler leaves his office to hunt me down about a job that has been on my clipboard since Friday. It's still second in queue because my helper left 2 weeks ago and they haven't found a replacement. The job ahead of it is 1/4 done because I keep getting pulled off for other "rush" jobs. I'm in the middle of loading a new 10000 lb coil of steel to finish the the 100 sheets the laser operator is waiting for (only he doesn't know it yet.) "Can you have it done by the end of the day? I promised we'd ship it first thing tomorrow."
Sure. I'll just drop everything else and do that. Nobody else is waiting. But first, it's my break. So as I sit in the breakroom I hear him in the next office. Suddenly, he bursts out of the office, catches me in the break room and says: "Have you started that job yet?" Yup. first 65' is done and the rest is programmed in. "STOP! The guy sent us the wrong order!"

And it's not even Friday.
