After the buffer image.

It was -27*C this morning, but whatever that’s life. I was driving to work the roads didn’t feel slippery, as I turned into the parking lot at work (perhaps carrying too much momentum) the ass end swings out fast, the front wheel rolls up the curb into a snowbank and the left rear tire smacks into the curb, I back out of the snowbank then go find a place to park. I normally start work at 8am, except today the store opened at 9am today and my manager didn’t say anything about switching my schedule, so I’m a hour early.

The new nights and weekends guy is turning out to be a complete dipshit, I spent a hour and a half cleaning up the mess he made over the weekend, he jammed the stapler and his solution was to keep using it( there was 6!! staples jammed in the exit port) then instead of finding a different stapler or placing the paper neatly in the inbox tray he origami folded the corners. He not only lost his work gloves, but he then took mine from the desk which I don’t care-for for hygiene reasons, then lost my right glove. I hearing that he’s ignoring the mechanics when they need parts, he’s always on his phone, he’s pissing of all the managers with his blatant disregard for professionalism, and I suspect that he’s vaping inside the building.

When I went for lunch my tire pressure light was on, I gra b my pressure gauge from the center console, dead battery. I grab the other gauge, also dead. So I go buy batteries and change them. My Le ft rear tire only has 10.5psi in it :( so I drive over to the garage bay door a borrow an air hose. I wasted half my lunch doing all this. I think the tire may have just unseated the bead but I’ll see if holds air over the next few days.

If you have some work gloves you don’t care so much about, put a note  out to not use your gloves then put grease in there finger tips. Screw that guy.

I went from managing a commercial print shop/mailing house/envelope converter to teaching high  school classes.

I feel your pain on the stapler.

I’m going to not rub in the -27 but not mentioning my current location.

Or skip the warning shots Altogether. Maybe not the razor blades, but the staples that get fucked up.

heck of a buffer image! Clue less coworkers are the bomb. Ditch those electronic tire gages and go old- fashioned with a dial-spring gage:  s tarts right up, first time every time! Hope 2019 treats you better than 2018 did...

good job on your secret Senna, btw, props for creativity!

Right? I gave a whole lesson on matching the copier settings to the paper stock. Speaking of people not knowing what the fuck they’re doing, I decided to start revamping my kitchen this weekend. Decided to build my own butcher block countertop (which I’ll actually use as a butcher block) because my local lumber yard had a sale on hard maple scraps. Really hope I don’t fuck this up.

That’s the bottom of the counter.

Wait, you can change the copier settings? ;)

Oh, nice! As long as your joints fit nicely, there isn't much you can screw up at this point. You probably know this, but I'll say it anyways, only use food grade finish on that. You don't want to be eating bits of polyurethane!

Get yourself a dial type pressure gauge. No batteries required and they’re stupid cheap at your local auto parts / tractor supply / hardware store.

Also fuck the guy who “borrowed” your gloves and lost one. You don’t borrow other peoples PPE. I like XJDano’s idea of pumping the fingers full of grease. Or better yet, get some nasty used grease, or at least some moly grease so it stains their fingers.
