The Complaining and Bitching Thread

Feeling restless and agitated.


It occurs to me that all of "my" friends live in other states. There are "his" friends, and "our" friends...and friends that started out as "my" friends" that are now "our friends." But not really anyone that's just "mine." And I realize I'm kinda babbling, but I really just want a friend to hang out with or go dancing or sit by a bonfire and talk and laugh. But I'm terrible at meeting new people, and I'm awkward and shy around most people anyway.


I also realize part of this is stemming from the fact that I miss my BFF and I'm also a little homesick. Haven't seen her in person since the beginning of 2015, haven't been home since Christmas of last year. Grr.

Exactly.

And the quality of products within a division can vary greatly. Let's say GE (or Mr. Coffee, or Black & Decker, or etc.) offers a couple of different models of simple coffee makers. One model is made under license at one plant and could last many years, the other model is made under license at a different plant and might last just a couple of years. To further muddy the water those same models could be offered under several different brand names.

FWIW the laundromat near us uses Haier washers & dryers.

 

Eden & I hadn't really had a "regular" day off together since we worked together. I had this past Sunday off, and we went up to Asheville to see a friend and then just walk around downtown. It was nice.

I asked my boss if I could regularly have Sundays off, and he was not agreeable. We aren't busy on Sundays, there's really no need to have ALL FOUR OF US working. And since I pretty much have no other schedule conflicts and regularly pick up any shift that needs covered, I'm a bit miffed. C'mon, man, I work 13 hour shifts when needed, I closed every night last week, and I'm working doubles and opening AND closing shifts this week.

 

It's even worse than that.
A company like Honda (small engines, not the car company) makes high quality, expensive products and sells them through authorized Honda dealers.
They also make forgettable crap and sell it through the big box retailers like Home Depot for a lot less money, but with the same brand name. But it's not nearly the same quality as the stuff you get from your local Honda authorized dealer.
Anyone confused yet?

 

Hmmm, this is fun.
Haven't had a migraine that lasted more than two day for quite a few years.
After the shit I've been through lately could kinda do without it, thank you very much.

 

God, why did I have to grow up and get billed for it?

 

That would make a great poster and/or meme!!

MOVE TO FUCKING OREGON!

I am going out with my lady friends tonight for a bachelorette party. I don't really have a BEST Oregon friend. B moved to Washington. A moved to Washington. W moved to Washington. I don't know why they keep going to Washington.

You could move to Washington because that's WAY closer.

Uggg I have no phone. Maybe I'll not get it fixed. Go back to how better my life was before the phone.

 

Some machine operator down in the Great State of Texas missed 2000 drill points now they shipped them parts to me. Yes I have to fix this huge mistake and it just ain't right, I started today and will finish Friday but the Boss wants them last week before the error occurred.

 

Up since 4:30 after anxiety nightmares. Pretty sure it was the combo of melatonin and my anxiety. Went to bed at 9:30ish and woke at 0045 exhausted and tired of laying down. This is not a good cycle for me.

 

The drill press operators would sometimes drill the holes around the flange too small, and we would have to sand out the ones we used as guide holes to anchor the part on the Jig Mill. We would argue with the supervisors that that should be done on a yellow ticket so that the time wouldn't count against our production quota. It wasn't a big deal on a part where our work took several hours, but it was when our work was fairly simple and we were expected to machine a high volume of parts our during shift. The drill press operators and supervisors would get POd at us, but at least we made the problem known in a way that couldn't be ignored.

 

I like being connected. Being able to have a video feed to my family in Ohio is a plus.

Some of us just don't want to be enlightened.

 

Well she-ot, I got through the parts and scrapped one. I only had 12 holes left to drill. Fuck Fuck Fuck. Then my supervisor recorded that piece under my number. Something just unfair about it. Okay so they came to me salvageable they should have left me in good condition. After all the work and 1988 holes later. I wouldn't have even been doing that work if it weren't for a previous error. OK so that's the job I get paid for. I fix other people's mistakes. It's always live or die, maybe not die but at the very least seriously scared. He asked me " Chris what do you think you could do, so that when this happens again you won't scrap one of these? "
Truly there are 3 or 4 guys that could have fixed them parts. I had to write it down and turn it in on a form that he handed me.I didn't have an answer for him or on paper. My Gawd that place is changing.
