Have done that too. Wedging a sliver of plastic shim stock into a threaded hole that you can't get clean enough to use loctite is a good alternative to loctite.

I swear to fsm I must work at the same company as some of you guys.
The amount of torque that our guys in production manage to get into an M1.8 (?) philips head fastener defies physics…except for the times when they under torque them and I find fasteners rolling around in the bottom of the housing…

well that was a near panic attack.
left the office to get my daughter from preschool. quarter mile away from the church where her preschool is, road was closed and barricaded with like 4 cop cars and turned back. had to loop around (as there are no other roads closer to it), 5 minute detour, got real nervous, because I realized if it was closed there then it was likely closed on the other side of the church too, and there's nothing else on that stretch besides residential homes. no firetrucks so that got ruled out. approached full panic attack when i finally turned around onto the other end of the street and THAT was closed off by police too. there was someone on this end so i pulled up to ask as he tried to wave me to another street. explained that my daughter is at the church preschool and i was supposed to pick her up at noon. he said there was a phone pole down, but i would be able to access the church parking lot at the first entrance. got there, talked to the teacher. turns out a drunk driver hit the phone pole. the car was already gone and the driver was already arrested. still a bit nerve-wracking.

Boss man just told me I'm getting promoted again, and my salary and bonus targets are going up by an amount that pleases me.
There's nothing like that feeling inside when you think your kid may be in some type of trouble/danger. Can't explain it.
A few years ago I was driving home from work to my house in the boonies, only to find the only easy ways there were blocked off. Assuming it was for something similar (down tree/pole), I asked the officer what was going on, and he said the guy down the street was firing a high powered rifle at people. Oh, OK.
yea, even trying to be rationale that it was at a church and all the kids are pre-k didn't help much
As a now-parent, and 2 kids in daycare (soon kindergarten), Sandy Hook has done some fucked up things to my mind.
my son is in 1st grade. active shooter drills are now called "intruder drills".
Bet your salary and bonus weren't the only thing going up during that conversation.
Yep - try having kids that go to the "C" high school...
how have you missed these crabdick jokes before? this is a long running tradition
In the 70s we had Nuclear attack drills. Although I don’t think hiding under our desks was very effective protection from a Russian Atomic bomb, but we did. Still less stressful than what kihave to deal with these days.
are you entertained yet?
We had them in the 80s, practicing for American nuclear attack, they were fun. Everyone had their gas mask in school storage + we got rubber garments for extra protection and walked through fields covered with smoke, simulating radiation.
Hence the stretch pants
Whoa, that’s pretty advanced.
gone are the days of a light bulb up someones ass...
The 10" of fluffy snow had turned into 6" of heavy slush by the time I got outside to clear our pathways and driveway.
