We wore them on test days.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, tho, there are times when other peoples' f*ckery cannot be fixed. Ferinstance, there was this one time that this big defense contractor in Fuht Wuhth lost a multi-million-dollar tooling jig. (Srsly, it was huge. I dunno how the hell they lost it. But it wasn't just the money, it was the security level of the project.) This so p!ssed-off Cap Weinberger that he canceled the whole freakin' project. The defense contractor's partner on the project laid off over 10,000 people.Camera Obscurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366304095952901048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133960841665156459.post-37111980901078169882008-03-24T20:05:00.000-05:002008-03-24T20:05:00.000-05:00BSRThats the pits dude.

It could be worse, (For one thing it could be <I>my</I> mistake)In the scheme of Engineering mistakes, this is is about a 6 on a scale of 1-10.

He's a mechanic at a defense contractor and they are stuck with an electrical engineer who has no engineering degree. Isn't that peachy? Anyway, Dad told them that A-hat's design wouldn't work. It defied the laws of both physics and gravity. They told him to build it to specks b/c that's what the engineer said and what does a mechanic know, right? So he built it. <BR/><BR/>It didn't work. <BR/><BR/>They let Dad do it again, the way he wanted to do it in the first place. It made the project run over time and cost a bunch more money but when Dad finished, it worked.<BR/><BR/>The "engineer" was looking at it and said, "So, what's that thing on the side of it right there? What does that do?"<BR/><BR/>Dad said, "I have no fucking idea. You designed the damn thing." <BR/><BR/>(Didja laugh? Didja?

It means more material needs to be ordered, it means extra supports. It means the <I>other</I> project I was supposed to start tomorrow will be behind schedule. It means I can forget about being off this weekend.<BR/><BR/>Aghhhhh!!!!!<BR/><BR/>It's a pretty big mistake. (Thankfully, not mine), but it means a lot of extra work when I should have been done. It also means I gave up Easter day for nothing.<BR/><BR/>How was your day? Better than mine I hope?Brave Sir Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885043536453757210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133960841665156459.post-74121920391599746282008-03-24T18:09:00.000-05:002008-03-24T18:09:00.000-05:00*hands you a drink and a cookie*That?
