    Today is one of those days when work is just not going well at all. The company I am at is giving me a pretty good beating as a result.

    Getting close to the point where it's time to go home and cut and split logs to burn off some of this frustration.

    Hang in there buddy, you're not alone in those sentiments. It's been brutal here at work, with the temps and humidity. And dealing with some of the people I deal with in a day, it does me good to go and slaughter a tree or two every other evening!

    Grab that Fiskars, and start dishing out a beating on some big rounds! You'll be feeling great in no time! :thumbs:

    Hang in there bud!


    I've seen plenty of those days. CYA mouse is always in effect around me. It's a built in work response as a Buyer.

    Engineers forgetting or adding things at the end right before testing is maddening.

    Hey now.... :rofl: :lol:
    I try to remember those little extras when I'm designing a transformer :hair:
    But I know the testing side too, as I was our company's test tech before moving on to engineering dept.

    I have a list of certain professions that historically "dont play nice" with others (insert CYA if you do business with them). Enough said.

    Unfortunately I didn't get home until just before 8 tonight. The day was productive in the end, but at a cost.

    On the ride home about 10 minutes from home, my cell phone sent me an alert to take shelter for a tornado. Puts thing in perspective.

    Yeah the tornado warning turned out to be a false alarm. We don't normally get them around here. Hurricane's for us.
