Putting me in a right foul mood and when I got in this morning I have found the department in a disgrace. So flipping angry. Looks like the guy who was covering didn't even look after the place
Now you know how I feeling coming off 3 weeks of straight night shift.
I used to have the same issue getting offshore Rossgo, the guy I took over from was a lazy messy prick and is spend the first three days sorting it all out to my OCD standards. But there is anew guy in that spot now and I trained him up so I'm hoping it won't be so bad this trip, well I don't think it could get worse!

Kiwi I don't know how you do that 3 weeks of night shift mate, especially as you don't get a break through them! I hope they pay you well!!
I have trained our evening guy up too so i will see this morning if he has kept up the high standards I expect! If he hasn't there will be words.
Hope the guy has kept your area neat and tidy mate [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]

Really, all the budget hotels I've staying in have a HDMI TV. I normally plug in an Apple TV or just a HDMI cable. The only problems I've had is when the TV is set to hotel mode and the HDMI is disabled, but that can be turned off.Kwacky wrote:I think scart is considered new around these parts.

Unpacking loads of boxes after the house move, what a nightmare and I just hope it works out as it's been an absolute nightmare

Re: What are you doing today ??
Good luck BB.
Dunno.....I fecked up last night, big time.
Was at home by myself yesterday evening, and thought I'd take a shower (which I do every month, whether I need it or not).
I saw the kitchen door was unlocked....locked it, turned, and my mother*ckin' hip went out...and went down hard....I knocked myself out.
I woke up 20 mins later in a pool of blood from a split around my left eye....tried to get up twice, and both times slipped in the blood, resulting in another two faceplants, then finally had the sense to take off a sock to wipe away the blood on the floor.
My face is the size of a bloody melon today, and I have quite the black eye.
Give me internet hugs or sommit.

Re: What are you doing today ??
I'd say don't go as well, but turn it to your advantage and try some observational stuff based on on the melon face and reasons, hey if we can't laugh at ourselves we might as well pull the pin now. Lemons/Limoncello my friend.
On a side note it sounds like you need some exercises to build up the muscles that stabilise the hip when you turn on it.
Today I have been try to do the job of a three handed man, I've been wrestling with the evergreen problem of holding something in place with two hands whilst needing a third hand to start the bolts that hold said item in situ. I won eventually btw.

Fwiw I enjoy doing things myself, and those types of situation that beg the need for asking assistance always frustrate me.
I'm going to try to teach myself how to remove, rebuild & replace a 6 speed gearbox from a Vito 639 in the near future, and I can already see potential issues arising from the above type situation.

Re: What are you doing today ??
One of my colleagues is an ex-MB tech, I'll see him in a week or two and ask him if there's any tricks or hints for dropping and stripping the box on a Vito.
Fwiw I've always found that if you think what the easiest way to put it together was, that's generally the way it comes apart. Of course sometimes the vehicle is upside down on an assembly line......

Well, I went,.....but I bowed out of performing, as I looked a bloody mess and I do like to support the new guys if I can....left once the pros hit it.Deegee wrote:I'd say don't go as well, but turn it to your advantage and try some observational stuff based on on the melon face and reasons, hey if we can't laugh at ourselves we might as well pull the pin now.

I fricking hate those places for exactly that reason.

Obviously I wouldn't front kick a child in the chest, but when your 3 year old comes out of the ball pit with another child's footprint on her face, there's only so much holding back!
