1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

https://youtu.be/Rek1qRs6tU8 how I felt when I experienced my first earthquake lol

 

Lmao. They arnt even that bad, yet...

 

I grew up in indiana never had one. First one I experienced I literally dove under a table and everyone was just "it was only a 3.5" lol

 

Growing up near the San Andreas fault has numbed me to earth quakes. Same with fires, they happen so often here in the West that I don't fear them like I do Tornados or Flash Floods.

 

Did you get the Disturbed cover if the song?

Tornados and floods ain't that bad least you can see them coming.

 

in case some of you are curious about this whole situation, my boss came to me asking me about the situation (suprisingly quite calm about it) I was in the chemical room when he radioed me. and I told my team "let's have an early break I'm going to the principal's office" which means take a break till I get back. I explained the situation and then found out that the team leader I fired was my boss's nephew. I was in my authority to do what I did and asked why was he made a team leader. When I heard he was his nephew I got stern saying that wasn't a smart move playing favoritism and handing an important job like to some one who doesn't care. I've seen the texts his nephew sent and it makes me feel sorry for humanity on how he acted like a spoiled child.

 

Be careful man, but yeah that sucks

 

Yea I know, but my boss knows that I wouldn't have done it without good reason.

 

Haha I have today off. Canadian long weekend.

I’m gonna go try out the Tacoma in the bush.

 

I’d be happy with 93

 

Yeah i bet your truck would love that

 

If the boss has an attitude, you tell him that he should be thankful you noticed and pulled his pathetic azz out of there before..


Also, wtf @BartMaster1234 - why do I always miss these and not see them until its too late? I'm sure those seats and steering wheel are LONG GONE after being up there for 12 days on CL

It makes sense now why he likes boiled beef

 

Yea, cause osha and H.R would have a hay day. The new guy has the option to not come in today if he feels like he needs it. I want him back at 100% before he comes back to work.

 

Gotta tread lightly in those situations but I feel your pain. The company I work for is rather...incestuous...shall we say...as far as the higher ups are concerned. They might act like they hate one another but at the end of the day, they will have each other's back over yours and when push comes to shove you might end up getting the short end of the stick. That's a tough scenario to be in.

 

damn I'd be thrilled just to have 93 available at all our pumps like some states do. Highest we get in CA (aside from racing gas stations which are few and far between) is 91.

 

Hmm so been reading about skid plates and i feel like 1/4” aluminum plates would work best for me. What you guys think?

 

Thankfully I'm considered as a higher up cause of my record and skills. Only thing holding me back is my team. I don't want just some random guy watching over them. I worked my way up the ladder to get where I'm at now. And I always put my guys in front of numbers.

 

I prefer steel just for its weld-ability, and cost.

You'd still need gussets with the 1/4" alumunum on something like a trany plate. Also, if you bend steel, you can just bend it back. Aluminum doesn't like to be bent.
