Our tire man just walked in shaking his head. His tire truck has a severe transmission leak ,large semi with knuckle boom and 10 spd Spicer.Truck is big enough to service 250ton haul truck tires. Says the maintenance manager just asked 'if he could put a bucket under it and when he goes to move dump the oil back in the tranny'.

In a mine or does it run down the road? Any leak that bad is a DOT OOS one the road.
 
At a mine. Our maintenance manager is just such a dumb mother fucker he has no idea how a manual gear box is filled. I've worked around and for alot of dumb bastards but he takes the cake. Another boss thinks he's on the autism spectrum. Has about as much people skills as a potato.

Do they still have fill plugs on the side?

King nipple in fill plug hole some hose coming through the floor board and a funnel. What's so hard to understand about this :flipoff2:.

Our family had a commercial boat, so I have spent a lot of time on this subject. (and Alaska)
The above statement is true as can be.

I ended up color coding all the lines on the deck
That way you didn't have to tell them to grab a certain shackle that actually had a name

You would just yell red
pull the blue
click the white :laughing:

one guy I had to mark the actual deck board that he was supposed to stand on (both feet) because he really wanted to be dead when gear came up

sigh

I really don't miss it

I worked at a school district in Sacramneto. Somoene must have dropped a cigarette butt in the bark around a playground at one of the schools. It melted all the plastic bits and destroyed the play structure.

I asked the custodian on site what happened. He pulled out his digital camera and proceeded to show me a series of about 20 pictures starting with a smoldering bit of bark, to the thing fully engulfed and the fire department putting it out.

I said, why didn't you grab a fire extinguisher instead of that camera. The flipping moron went ghost white and said "I didnt think about that, probably would have been a good idea"

He was eventually promoted to a supervisor position and then to an energy conservation specialist making 6 figures. Government at work folks.:homer:

I prefer both groups to those who pull out their fucking phone and take pics/video. How many times have you seen videos online of a couple of thugs beating up a grandmother and 5 people IN THE VIDEO that the 6th person is taking of the incident are seen, and nobody steps in to stop it. We have become a voyeur culture...

Catching sailors sleeping during certification drills. Mind you these kids are EXHAUSTED as they have been preparing for these drills for months. Many many 12hr plus days. Then when we show up it's "hurry up and wait time".

I completely understand why they are exhausted. I always make it a point to get as many of the ships crew involved to publicly shame them before I make them shit their pants when they see an inspector waking them up.

Saw this during an NTPI. When the inspector wakes you, you keep your eyes closed and say “Amen”, then open your eyes. He wasn’t sleeping, he was praying.

Isn't much different here. If you screw up enough equipment they just promote you to a supervisor so you can't break anything anymore.

Fire isn't very exciting at my work, but figured you guys would get a kick out of it
 
I just got a company wide email with a misspelled word in the subject. Told the whole workforce o congregation a guy on his promotion. Idiot supervisor then responds all to his own fucking email to point out he had made a spelling mistake and then chose the wrong correction. No shit? Would you like to proofread your entire fucking missive for you in a reply all for everyone to see? We all fucking knew you made a typo in the subject before. Now we know you don't know how to spell or read. Got dammit. Shut up

Someone burned down the playground at Florin Elementary when I was going there, I want to say they poured gas down the slides though. The bark did not burn but there were chunks of melted plastic slide in the bark for years.:homer:
