A new guy started at the shop a few weeks ago. We make a few parts that are tricky to indicate in. He struggled with one of them for a while. I was eyeballing him from the other side of the shop and decided he needed help. I went to my tool box and got a big hammer and my indicator and strolled over to help him out. I carefully showed him the process to go through to get everything all lined up with the world. I had the part running with in a thou. I then asked him if he had been paying attention. He said Yes. That was the answer that I was looking for. I gave the part a giant WHACK with my big hammer and walked away\o/ A couple other guys that work for me had an idea what was going on and got a good laugh out of it also :) This may seem mean to some. This may seem funny to some :lol:This guy right here :lol: But until someone actually does something and get's it right they don't know how to do it. Doesn't matter how many times you explain it. ~Wes~ |

One of the guys was promoted to supervisor so he walked up to me one time chest out and said "why are your hands in your pockets? So I told him it keeps my fingers out of my ass"! |

If someone ever says you've made a mess of that or similar my reply is always " don't worry i can't see it from home" |

Good enough for who it's for, I always say, working for myself.. Well not always! When I was young I worked on a maintenance crew. We were digging a ditch down to a leaking steam line -- it was hot summer work and clay stuck to the shovels from the steam. Miserable work down in that ditch. Afternoon, boss pulled up in his green air conditioned pickup truck, rolled down his window a bit and said, "How you men doing with that ditch?" An old Vermont farmer I was working with looked up and said, "Gainin." and went back to work. We all laughed and kept shoveling, too. Stupid question. Boss drove away. That one word became a habit with us on that crew. It would answer almost any question. In fact to this day, when anybody asks how I'm doing, I say, gainin' and leave it at that.. |
