That's #$%*ing terrible sport but I think that's the way the world is going. Do you know if there are apprentice programs for
draftsmen in your area?
Bill the demon.

Can't say for sure. My employer does have an internship program which I guess in a way can be looked at as an apprenticeship and I think the kid I'm working with is in the process of finishing his internship. I will give the kid some credit because he has shown the willingness to learn.

Any time my employer hires an engineer or draftsman they always put those potential employees on the production floor with us for a few weeks. For the past few days I've been working with a young kid who's being hired as a draftsman so I figured if he's a draftsman then surely he knows how to read a print right? Wrong. I gave him what I thought would be a breeze for him to do but ended up having to take everything apart and putting it the way it was supposed to because he had it backwards. The thought that a draftsman couldn't comprehend a print absolutely stunned me so to make sure he doesn't screw up again I have to dbl check everything he does to make sure he got it right.

i have to see how potential new drivers are at my work,,i #$%* you not the last couple could not tie a knot!!these are guys in their 40s?truckers?the first guy wrapped a rope around and around and around the tie down rail,and around and around and around untill i said what are you doing? making a #$%*ing spring?had to show him a basic clove hitch,thats all you need man,so at the end of the day he nearly got the hang of it,that truely pissed me off!!he couldnt drive anyway so he can go else where,the second bloke ate a bag of potatoe chips as he watched me fold up a tarp,that pissed me off even worse!

You guys really have to meet dave in person.

He is very polite and has impeccable manners (so does his lovely wife btw).

I'd imagine you've got to be a complete tool to piss him off.

It was funny when I was working on Lady Elliot Island, I had to show one of the coxswains out there how to tie a bowline.  Didn't piss me off but it sure did piss him off ;D.

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

G'Day Tim, there's a company called "Metal Gear" that sells discs on Ebay that are based in Brisbane,

Discs and pads  on my astrhole van are probably original. It doesn't scream but I know I have the worst brakes on the road and the rotors are likely made of garbage metal that gauls when you try to turn it on a lathe, but I might try with new pads the thin/warp may work out.
 

The alternative is the new AWD rotors that come with bearings integrated, china cheapo's are $5oo or so on fleaybay auction. Gotta buy the whole kit as the rotors are splined on the AWD models as far as I know. I just keep driving and keep my distance from the car in front.  And I have no trips to the mountains planned as it could be a death wish with my brakes.

Sunny weather in Vermont. >:(

"REAL vermonters are complaining that it just aint natural!
Hell where all the cloudy, cool days at?
Why in my days we used to freeze the deer meat outside until June 1st...." etc etc

Pisses me off that some people just can't appreciate a good thing.

Sometimes I'm glad I can say I am not a Real Vermonter, having been born
up in the Great White North (that's Canada for you uneducated).  8)

That's a lovely story Dave, but just so the Seppo's here don't think you're creepy, I'll just let them know that you weren't describing your dog as "Hot", but rather "Schidt-Hot" which is ancient Aussie slang for "Really Good". Cheers, Terry. ;D

Technology pisses me off.   ;D
I left a voice message on this fellas phone which got converted from voice to text.

Anyway, at the end of the message I said Thanks Tony and he gets the text that says Thanks Darling.
So he rings me up and wants to know if I'm tryin' to crack onto him.
That pissed me right off.  ;D

I started thinking Righto smart arse, so I said let's meet up  for a bit of Nudge Nudge Wink Wink know what I mean.
That pissed him off and I haven't heard back since.  ;D

That wouldn't piss me off Mick, that'd scare the crap outta me! How the hell does voice recognition technology turn "Tony" into "Darling"? You sure you didn't think one thing and say another mate? (not that there's anything wrong with that.............) ;D

I dunno how that happened mate.
Maybe I was talking quickly.
5he missus reckons that she can't understand WTF I'm saying when I'm on a mission and tbat does piss her off.  ;D

One of the boys from work sent me an email from his phone yesterday and it said something like "Me the old navigator"
I told him that we were gonna haul him in for a spot urine test which pissed him off. ;D
He had that predictive text turned on and wasn't taking notice of what was going on.
So between Old Navigators and Thanks Darling, a bloke has to be careful or be pissed off.  ;D
