oof, theres a lot of great stories i could tell that really pissed me off in the moment.

I could go on about the countless times during Uni or school where group projects were forced... or in general any time i was a young lad in a lab coat with co workers. What am i even saying i barely approach being old.

But honestly any kind of lab work with a partner in Uni was the worst. During an 2 year Internship there were many times we had to do extensive reports on experiments or tests however you want to call it.

There were 2 people the proffessors really liked to pair me up with and they were the worst kind of slackers.

They never took notes on anything which was really VITAL because i was preoccupied doing the actual experiments, if i let them do the procedures they mess up, cause an issue or literally wait for me to do it.

I will never know if they ever actually took notes, because when we had to make the reports they ghost me. 

The Proffessors btw never let us pick our Partners, we were always paired up differently depending on the Proffessor and it sometimes took weeks for them to change it.

Like honestly fuck Johann and Leonhard. They were the worst Lab partners to have, im so glad i was able to work mostly alone once i was done with my internship.

Professors tend to create the worst group possible, as if they try to, like, why are you putting me with the two people I've talked to five times in three years? Some of them even get angry if you ask to pick partners. Unlike you tho, I don't remember the names of my weights, that's some AM level of hatred right there

Its hard not to remember, since even compared to nowadays that was the most horrid time of my life. I wish i was overselling it. But it would've been a breeze to get through if i did it with decent students or even alone. Time flies, i was thinking that it didn't even happen that long ago but it was pre covid which is more than half a decade ago by now.

If there is a gay man, wanting to do it with a straight woman. What does that make the man?

 

Bonus question: if your flying through a dessert, and your boat gets a flat tire, what should you have in your pockets?

Lemme make this clear, I'm not a liberal. Not in any way. But I also don't believe that Trump was the best choice. Though, neither was Kamala... so...

I'll start

so for some background, I work in the maintenance team of what might just be the dustiest factory on earth. I wont go into more specifics because this is the only factory in my country that produces what it does and I dont want to dox myself. 

With that said:

a few weeks ago we had an issue, machine that broke down

no worries, it happens 

so they call a colleague of mine, lets name him Josh, to go look at it

now, Josh is by no means a bad guy, but he's not a good technician

for starters he outright refuses to do anything electrical, despite being qualified 

so Josh goes and takes a look around at all the mechanical bits, and doesnt manage to find anything 

so he assumes it must be electrical and calls me over

the issue was a feed screw not turning

vfd gave an overcurrent fault 

so I spend the next hour and a half checking the motor, the vfd, the plc and every single wire and cable 

and find nothing

at this point I was getting somewhat agitated because the production foreman was up my ass about needing the machine asap 

so to take my mind off it for a moment I decide to just quickly look over the mechanical side of things

which, if you remember, Josh had supposedly checked earlier 

and the mechanical side of this is not a lot mind you, its a motor, a gear reduction and a screw

surprise, surprise, literally the first thing I look at, the coupling between the gear reduction and the screw, has a bearing thats completely exploded from dust getting inside

cue me having to spend 2 hours working late to replace the coupling because production wanted it ready that night

fuck you Josh you fucking dumbass

This Josh guy... is he, perhaps, a reincarnation of that one mustache man from the 1940's?

You should have grabbed him by the balls, kicked his face in the problem and said, "Dude, this is your job, you lazy ass."

I know

its just that I care too much to let someone else half ass it when I know I can and will do it properly from the get go 

the age old problem of being so good at your job you get to fix other's mistakes
