Well back to work tomorrow

[imschur]

for the first day since since December 21.  :'(

See you guys on the company dime tomorrow  ;)

[Madhouse]

And man, did it suck to go back!  Sure felt like a Monday!

[imschur]

So the day before we took off for the holidays I says to my guy "Carlos do we have enough oil to get through vacation" to which he replies "Yes plenty"

Needless to say i walked in around 8:30 am and was greeted by 35 hostile co-workers. Coldest day of the winter so far and we have no heat because we ran out of oil. Cant get it delivered until sometime tomorrow.

[unforgiven]

You guy's still using whale's for heating oil? <lmao> <laughs>

Jon

[Rsquared]

Yeah, I feel for you. I worked in a shop where all we had was an oil burner. Those things put out some heat. But, when you run out of oil, it BLOWS. And there ain't nothing you can do (wrenching on it that is.....nothing to fix) until you can get the fuel truck to stop by. I remember some of us guys holding our hands around light bulbs just to heat our hands up, so that we could work on poop. I feel for you brother. That makes for a long F-ing day.

Now.....on the other hand.....that was a great zinger Rene.  <laughs>

Now.....on the other hand.....that was a great zinger Rene.  <laughs>

Rene just has a knack for that poop - he's a natural, and quite gifted.  <thumbsup> <laughs> 8)

[Rsquared]

Yeah........kinda noticed that.

Keep gettin Rene  <thumbsup>

[unforgiven]

That's brother Tom rubben off on me >:D, I'm tryin like hell to keep up with you guy's. <lmao> <laughs> :cookoo:

[edgecrusher]

Drew, you can use diesel fuel in a pinch

[Rsquared]

<laughs> Been there....done that.

OK.......everybody grab a jerry can and head to the gas station.  <laughs>

[edgecrusher]

now that would be funny!

[Rsquared]

Wasn't at the time. But I can look back and laugh now. The poop you gotta do you know?

[edgecrusher]

adapt and survive! I have a wood stove going right now because it's 12* out, anything to stay warm. OK, it is 74 in here!

[Rsquared]

12*? Well it's only a balmy 26* here in Md (DC metro area).

[98Z5V]

...26* here in Md (DC metro area).

I'm so damn glad I got the hell out of that area.  If that place was on fire, I wouldn't piss on it to put it out.  <dontknow>

[edgecrusher]

Up here in mass, going to be this way all week. We didn't hit 26 today at all

[Rsquared]

I'm so damn glad I got the hell out of that area.  If that place was on fire, I wouldn't piss on it to put it out.  <dontknow>

I'm with you my brother. Only here for the job. When that's done......I'm done......and gone!

[98Z5V]

Meade?

[Rsquared]

No. Just regular commercial work. Automation and controls. You know......electronic computer poop that runs facilities.

[98Z5V]

That's a relief - you'd REALLY hate life if you were at Meade...  :o

[Rsquared]

Yeah. Got friends that have been in and outta there.

[unforgiven]

About the same here brother Ron.At least no snow to strain the shoulder.

[Rsquared]

Don't mind the snow. Just the people (in this area) trying to drive in it. Luckily no accumulation this year yet.

Tell em Tom.....you've been here.

[98Z5V]

I loved the snow there - I could get around just fine in it.  I was in a 6,000 lb Dodge truck, on 35s, with a 185 lb front bumper...  Fuckers got out of my way, one way or the other...  <lmao> <laughs>

One dude in a Lincoln tested me one time.  He ended up buying a new car, and paying me some money...
