Bit of an update from my situation I described last night...

This job is now projected to wrap-up on Friday because the crew is refusing to work tomorrow and it's going to rain on Monday.

These motherfuckers actually expect me to stay here in this damn hotel, alone, all the way through Thanksgiving!

I already emailed my actual boss, along with the PM who I'm loaned out to for this job, to let them know that all of the fucks which I previously gave have now been entirely expended and I'm going to fly home on Tuesday (it's non-negotiable). I really don't care what our client has to say about it anymore. They can go catch on fire and die for all that I care at this point. This is fucking bullshit.

Why not? I can always use a new friend.

What do you think about that trigger on the shield? I still haven't really formed an official opinion on it.

It's alright.  Better than the factory full-size M&P trigger, and a hell of a lot better than my M&P40 (first production run with the REALLY lousy trigger).  I'm gonna get the Apex trigger for it sometime soon.

I heard the Apex trigger is really nice on those.

The one I shot, I think it was a .40, but maybe I'm wrong... was really accurate and it felt nice, but the trigger was something in-between a Glock and an LCP. I just don't know how to accurately describe it.

I've got the Apex DCAEK and RAM in my M&P40, and the FSS in my longslide 9mm.  They know how to make a trigger.

I haven't shot an LCP, but if it's anything like the Kel-Tec triggers...

I'm gonna try really hard, but I think it may have already been ruined.

I'm so pissed off over this entire situation that my blood pressure would now have to be measured in PSI. I've felt physically Ill all week and I keep getting terrible headaches because of it; I can't even drink a cup of coffee without feeling like I might die. I don't think my attitude can change enough to make a difference in 5 days...

I meant that the "one I shot" was a stock Shield trigger. I should have been more specific in that regard.

And yes, Kel-Tec/LCP triggers are not great. It's as smooth as a cinderblock and has about an inch of creep. I found the shield to have a smooth trigger, but way too much creep.

If you're so angry that you're physically ill, then you should probably call in sick.  Your vacation is only ruined if you let them ruin it.  You're going home to see your family, demonstrating your priorities are in order, while showing theirs are not.  Please don't offer to sell your physical well-being for money.  We value you more than those Jerssyban do.

I disagree. For what I do that's still an OK deal. Also, factor in that I live in the middle of downtown DC and what the cost of living is there...

Oh, I was tracking you.  I feel the same way about the stock Shield trigger.  It could be a lot worse, but there's definitely room for improvement.

As they say, money isn't everything...

I take no joy in what I do. I do it because it's a very important and strategic stepping-stone to advance my career to somewhere I'd actually like to be. Things should begin to improve significantly for me around the end of January.

Yeah, I've seen (and fired) a lot of guys like that.

We aren't .gov inspectors. We work as private consultants, usually hired by the building owner/manager, to provide expert advice and opinions on the condition of their buildings and/or work being done on those buildings. We provide many other services too, but that is the majority of our work. It's really only cost effective for clients who have A LOT of buildings to manage.

Our clients include several branches of the military, the DC government (the contract I normally manage), several other local governments throughout the country, and several national/global corporations.

The reason I said things are going to improve after January is because I'm going to transition back to managing some of our military contracts. Those are always great to work on. And I'll get to move out of DC.

Ah ok im betting many a Californian has considered cracking the inspector with some 2x4 scrap rolling em in the footing and calling in the truck for a pore. Out here they hate you for giving them a job.

I felt much the same way when I was the guy swinging the hammer for a living..

The only difference is that I've been in their shoes and I go out of my way to not be an asshole to them when it isn't called for. I remember always having thought that an inspector needs to be a construction worker for at least a few years before he's allowed to get in everyone else's business on a jobsite. Same thing with architects.

And engineers need to run a lathe or mill a while before they should be allowed to design shit.



I don't even do it as a living I just have a wide skill base so I end up helping friends out a lot.

Yes! You get it.

Before you tell people how to make or do just about anything, you need to be intimately familiar with the task by having done it yourself. Things always end up being a little different in practice than they were on paper and the designers need to be aware of this stuff.

The only difference is that I've been in their shoes and I go out of my way to not be an asshole to them when it isn't called for. I remember always having thought that an inspector needs to be a construction worker for at least a few years before he's allowed to get in everyone else's business on a jobsite. Same thing with architects.
And engineers need to run a lathe or mill a while before they should be allowed to design shit.



I don't even do it as a living I just have a wide skill base so I end up helping friends out a lot.

 




Yes! You get it.



Before you tell people how to make or do just about anything, you need to be intimately familiar with the task by having done it yourself. Things always end up being a little different in practice than they were on paper and the designers need to be aware of this stuff.
My dad is a tool and die maker his favorite past time is bitching about engineers.

I felt much the same way when I was the guy swinging the hammer for a living..

Lol one of the other machinist launched about a 150 pound chunk of steel out of a lathe the other day. He said it was the fastest he has ever seen people move when that thing was bouncing around.

No doubt. I sort of had a pyrotechnic event occur on a lathe one time when I was a kid. Can't go into details, but it wasn't pretty. I had 2nd degree burns everywhere. I remember that the first thing to go through my mind was "am I dead?" Looking back on it, I did some really dumb shit when I was a kid...

That's no good either, but at least it's really just an eye hazard at best... And I'd expect you're wearing eye pro.

Good evening everyone.

People are really dumb! Some admin thought it was a good idea to try going to liquid soap instead of the little bars. They also thought it might be a good idea to install hand sanitizer dispensers in the pod. As one might expect when giving inmates access to alcohol, three of the dummies drank the stuff and are now on the way to the hospital.

Why not? The deterrent value alone would be handy. Saves money on internment and/or cremation, plus you can probably cut down on your kitchen food budget too.

Hell, go the extra mile and start nailing them to the walls with signs on them.

Well you certainly wouldn't have any laying around if you turned them into soap. Just sayin'..

On a serious note, how did they not realize ahead of time that the prisoners were going to drink the alcoholic hand sanitizer?? I mean, they're prisoners..!!
