  • This might end up sucking

    On Saturday my wife & I leave for a well deserved day and a half at the beach.

    We've both taken off Monday & Tuesday of next week as well just to have some time off and together. Planning on going hiking, working around the house, etc.

    I've been so slow at work I've been known to spend 8 hours on Customerssuck trying to look busy.

    We're so slow we're talking about picking up some work for a competitor of ours who's worked themselves into a bind and can't fabricate this particular job anymore.

    One problem, they are dragging ass giving us the go ahead, and giving me the information I need to draw it. (The drafter who designed it for the other people must be a monkey on acid).

    So here we sit on Wednesday and I've got the preliminary stuff done and I'm waiting.

    Of course now if these people drag ass till Friday, how I'm supposed to do two days of work in 1 day?

    I know the adage is "Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part" well you haven't met my boss. He's going to want to go "NOW NOW NOW" and get it done to help them out, and because we are so slow.

    So I've got a call in to a former co-worker who's a student and unemployed this summer last I heard. That way if he can come in and do the stuff we're covered.

    I've been telling them for months we should hire someone else, but no...

    I'm not canceling my vacation for this shit, but I can see some bad poi coming down the hill come Friday.

      .
      Don't be silly. Something else will come up and you'll be expected to do three days work in one day.

      Never fails.

      But we don't because lots of it's disgusting.
