GraveYard Shift BS

Listening to Lionel Richie’s Stuck on you. Reminds me of my son’s birthday 4 1/2 years ago. Though the lyrics are for a woman I change it for my son. I’m stuck on him and glad he’s mine. Miss my boy and can’t wait to see him and my daughter in a couple hours and have breakfast.

 

hello

 

Howdy.

 

long night

 

I wanna go home

 

I got till 0600

 

Me 2

 

1800-0600

 

But at least it’s Friday and I don’t go back til Tuesday

 

No kidding, and it's one of THOSE nights too. I''l share a quick story.

Some equipment is being moved out of the fab (semiconductor manuf.), and I was tasked with demo'ing out the CIM interface hardware (linux nodes, monitors, keyboards, cable, etc.). Easy work.

When I got that done, I had been paged earlier about a computer system that was unresponsive, so I figured I'd go hunt it down real quick while I was in the fab and fix it. I ended up spending a good 45 minutes hunting this down with no luck at all, I was even asking operators "hey man, you got a system down somewhere that nobody's looked at yet?" - nada.

Just now, I headed to the men's room real quick, and on my way back what should I find? The missing computer system, in the hallway upstairs in the office area. Not 20 freakin' feet from my own damned desk.

 

Different time zone, but I'm doin' the same shift here!

 

Fastest you’ve ever driven a vehicle?

Me: 165 mph

 

I was doing 105 in my Taco just a couple of weeks ago. They're not really built for much more than that.

 

Ya that’s quick. Most I’ve done in my Taco was 85 lol

 

same here

 

Yeah, there's NOTHING on I-80 in SE Idaho and I was bored.

Speed limit there is 80, and nobody was doing that anyway so I thought I'd see just how big my balls really were. Bigger than my pea-sized brain, apparently!

 

Moab in April - cannot wait!

It'll be big-boy wheeling in the Maze this year, we'll be there for a week.
