We got a tool in that I'm supposed to lay up on. It's 9 feet wide x 30 feet long. As far as I know, no one with any knowledge of my processes was consulted. It just showed up. It's barely usable. The first thing out of my mouth when I saw it was "that's just stupid". It's going to make our part of the process very painful as well as the downstream processes.

It really starts wearing on you when you keep getting handed a pile of shit and are expected to make something tasty out of it.

My mentor, once said to me
"well, they told me I had to make a silk purse out of a sows ear, but I think all I can manage out of you is a sows ear purse" :lol:

My mentor always said a few different variations of:

"You can't make shit shine...it STINKS!"
or
"You can try to polish a turd all you want, but it's still a turd!"

He was a crotchety old WWII Navy Chief who always had a cigar hanging out of his mouth that looked just like a turd when he said it, which made it even funnier!

We, the willing, lead by the unknowing, have done so much with so little for so long that We are now qualified to do the impossible with absolutely nothing.

So, the company announced today they will be furloughing 700 people. Oddly enough, they will be from the 767 and 777 programs. They say not enough storage space to produce new units.

Also, there is a hiring freeze and overtime has been eliminated.

If overtime is not approved for the program I'm curretly working on, there will be many bricks shit this weekend.
