Wings for lunch.

Sausage patties are about all you're going to get, typically.

No wings as in that's where you're scraping it off.

I have read all the replies to this thread as of Squeeb's 1:43 offering.

I just had my biweekly staff meeting. I don't know why we do things things every two weeks. Seems like once a month would suffice, but I'll stick to the biweekly schedule just for the mere sake of doing something as the manager. I swear I spend three times as long preparing than the meeting actually takes. What kind of asshole hosts a meeting without being prepared tho?

I think it has been at least 3 years since we held a staff meeting. Even my CEO considers them to be a waste of time. That and that we run three shifts with folks spread out in the field by up to 100 miles all day.

Staff meetings for the entire company/building/whatever or just your team?

Just my little department...me and my eight direct reports.

Also found out I get tomorrow off, that's crazy. I've never gotten V Day off before. The weather is shit but I am taking advantage of cheap golf at an expensive course because fuck it.

Me. I was asked to host a monthly automation meeting with folks from other teams. I am literally the only one doing anything with the automation and nobody really cares what I'm doing, but we meet anyway. It usually goes about 15 of the scheduled 30 minutes, tops.

Shouldn't your meeting be automated making it unnecessary for you to attend ?

One of the other teams said "we changed a bunch of stuff in the UI so all of our tests were failing, so we just disabled it." Seems legit.

And of course the blame landed on the UI coder, right ?

That is also a few blocks from our house. If 399's cubs don't wise up after she kicks them out next spring, they are all gonna be dead in a few years.

rounding her and the cubs up and dumping them somewhere deep in the park would be the best thing for them....

i bet this is going to sound horrible....

Good job UPS freight, you started crushing my $100k scanner, but at the last second realized that’s a warning, not a targetView attachment 167235

That box doesn’t say Keyence, does it? If it does, in six months you’ll be wishing they’d crushed it…

They are all collared, and supposedly they are trying to haze them back up north. She has denned in the same area for the last 25 years, so it’s doubtful that she would change now. But that is just this year. Those Cubs now have a range that goes from Yellowstone to almost Hoback. Those little dudes are going to be everywhere, and will change recreation paranoia locally.

Or a grizzly driving the fucking wheels off a twin turbo-powered El Camino with a pile of kegs and Teddy Roosevelt dressed as Evel Knievel wielding a saber in the back.

If they are all your direct reports, couldn't you just cancel the meeting?

Yep, Keyence, their new VR6000

What machines are you running and what sort of issues are you having?

Talked with a couple big shops out here with multiple Keyence machines and they love them. Our Mitutoyo rep was quoting a CMM with an optical head and when we mentioned we were looking at Keyence too he just said buy the Keyence, I can't compete.

I am biased, because we compete with Keyence as well as Mitutoyo for that matter. (We manufacture sensors and gages for “everything”dimensional metrology except cmms ) If you are satisfied with the performance of that instrument and it does what you need, that is great! I was just trash talking…
