Missed Friday Again :doh: :) Since the day doesn't really matter (much) I would like to welcome all new members to the Fantastical FaDBeens (The team that eats its greens :)) Had a bit of a diabolical week.. Evil master sacked loads of people like dogs because we didn't have any work... Then all of a sudden we got some really big orders...I had to go over to a section of the factory I hardly ever visit and spent a few days working on the assembly line. Metal boxes come down the line and my job (at the very end) was to screw a thrash override failure light bulb whatnot (really tiny little fiddly thing too :) ) into the top of the metal box...Then I had to put a red cover over the light bulb and stick on a "Warning contains high voltage/no serviceable parts" sticker and sellotape up the cardboard packaging before another metal box reached me...:) It was really hard work (I had previously reprogrammed all the robots to go as fast as possible at the front of the line so I wouldn't have to spend much time there - It's quite a scary place!:) ) Anyway, I entertained myself by mounting different coloured light bulbs in the top of the box (I found loads of snazzy bulbs on a rack hidden away from the boring plain ones) and also I tried the little sticker in different places too. My evil and demented mind determined It would be quite good fun seeing If I could get some nosey customers electrocuted by hiding said label :devil: The whole scenario reminded me of that Police song (Can't remember which album)"I work all day in a factory, building a machine that's not for me, must be a reason that I can't see" etc After a good twelve hours of mass production :) I decided I had better plug a couple of the boxes into the tester to see if they worked or not :) (You are supposed to plug them in before you pack them but it takes too long to do the test so I didn't bother :) ). You plug a box in the tester and the little bulb is supposed to blink five times to show everything is working proply.. Selected a few at random from the big huge piles I had made at the end of the line. First one worked np's second one blinked once then died third one ok fourth one died and so on... Detailed analysis of the problem revealed all the snazzy yellow bulbs I had found on the rack were faulty (the green and blue ones worked np's :) ) Decided I was in a really crappy position to defend myself and went home. Next day I turned up to work and some idiot had shipped all the stupid boxes via lorry to a warehouse on the outskirts of Exeter (they were due to be shipped abroad by air to customers all over the place :eek: ) Told Evil Master about me efforts to Jazz up the light bulb situation to which he replied it was my problem and I had better go and fix it..Piled boxes of good bulbs and rolls of sticky tape into the car and drove to Exeter to the warehouse and spent a whole day unpacking boxes and changing all the silly little yellow bulbs for boring clear ones... There has to be a moral to this story but I can't for the life of me think what it is :) Probly something like yellow light bulbs suck! :) |

...the Fantastical FaDBeens (The team that eats its greens :)) ROF. I think I'm beginning to understand where the expression "shitting blue lights" came from now. Er...just exactly what is the name, mark, model nr etc of this product? |

this just goes to prove that you're not cut out for manual labour and should be a politican! only they aren't made to go back and clean up their messes. hmmmm, so you would suck as a politican, but you're half way there! |

Greetings FadBeens........ I couldn't comment on your name until you posted in Cafe... if you're up, is there also someone around here that's charmed, and someone that's strange? :-) |

Your reaction, oh hot-blooded fellow-member, is obviously much to the liking of the Evil King of the Hadrons: ...flogging sounds good... Remember that if you are to be a worth emissary, repeated action is necessary to bring our mission to the fruit-bearing stage. |

On the Teddie's board, between comments from Meg and Nec, you get the impression that Nec was playing with it last night until >HE< broke it. |
