APRIL 21ST 2008
WEATHER; CLOUDY, HIGH HUMIDITY 62/88 DEGREES
WE’LL BE TURNING THE A/C ON IN THE NEXT DAY OR TWO IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE WARM/HOT FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS!
ANSWER TO POP QUIZ: “CHARLIE SHEEN IS MARTIN SHEENS SON”
POP QUIZ; IN THE OLD RADIO SHOW “THE LIFE OF RILEY” WHAT WAS THE UNDERTAKERS NAME ON THE SHOW AND WHAY WHERE HIS DEPARTING REMARK?
LIKE I SAID LAST WEEK, “IT NEVER RAINS BUT IT POURS”! MOM WENT TO TOWN THIS MORNING AND I GOT A CALL THAT THE CAR (THE ACCLAIM) HAD OVER HEATED AND SHE WAS AT THE DENISON KROGERS! THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO SO I HAD HER CALL KELLY WHICH SHE DID AND HE WAS GOING TO CHECK IT OUT WHEN HE GOT OFF AT 3:30! IN THE MEAN TIME SHANNON PICKED HER UP AND THEY WENT TO LUNCH! KELLY GOT THERE AND FOUND THE ROLL PIN THAT GOES THROUGH TO FAN MOTOR SHAFT TO DRIVE THE FAN BLADE HAD SHEARED OFF AND THE BLADE WASN’T TURNING! HE MADE EMERGANCY REPAIRS AND MOM MADE IT HOME! I CALLED R&D AND THEY HAVE WHAT I NEED SO GLENDA’S GOING TO TAKE ME UP THERE TO GET IT IN THE MORNING!
THEN KELLY WENT TO HIS BUDDY AND GOT THE TWO WHEEL DOLLY AND TOOK THE INTREPIUD TO CBS MUFFLER! I CALLED THEM AND MADE THE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THEM TO PUT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM BACK ON THE CAR AND WHERE TO LEAVE THE KEY, THEY CLOSED AT 5:30 AND KELLY DIDN’T GET THE CAR LOADED TILL AFTER 6:00! WE SEND A LOT OF BUSINESS TO CBS, THEY’RE TWO REAL NICE GUYS AND WE DO ALL WE CAN TO HELP THEM! WE’LL GO PICK THE CAR UP TOMORROW AFTER I GET THE ACCLAIM BACK ON THE ROAD! IT’S NOT ANYTHING BIG WITH THE ACCLAIM JUST LITTLE THINGS LIKE THE FAN MOTOR, I KNEW IT WASN’T DOING A GOOD JOB A YEAR AGO BUT FORGOT TIL NOW, IT WOBBLED REAL BAD!
I REALLY DON’T KNOW WHAT WE’D DO WITHOUT KELLY HE NEVER TURNS US DOWN NO MATTER WHAT WE ASK OF HIM! MAYBE HE DOESN’T GET RIGHT TO IT BUT HE WILL GET IT DONE! HE WORKS FOR MIKE OUT AT “TEREX” PUTTING ALL THE WIRING LOOMS AND INSTRUMENTS IN THE DIGGERS THEY BUILD, SOME OF THEM GO UNDERGROUND AND WHEN THE JOB IS DONE THEY’RE LEFT THERE ! MIKE WISHES HE HAD FIVE MORE LIKE HIM INSTEAD OF THE DUNDERHEADS HE HAS TO PUT UP WITH! MIKE SAYS,”NO MATTER WHAT I ASK KELLY TO DO HE GETS IT DONE IN LESS THAN HALF THE TIME THE OTHERS SPEND DOING THE SAME JOB!” HE HAS VERY GOOD WORK ETHICS. TIM AND KELLY WORK GOOD TOGETHER, TIM’S THE PLANNER AND KELLY’S THE ONE WHO GETS THE PLAN DONE BUT, THEY BOTH WILL GET DOWN AND DIRTY TO GET A JOB COMPLETED QUICKLY!
THE ENGINEER'S SONG
(SUNG TO THE TUNE OF THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES)
COME AND LISTEN TO A STORY BOUT A MAN NAMED JED,
A POOR COLLEGE KID BARELY KEPT HIS FAMILY FED,
BUT THEN ONE DAY HE WAS TALKING TO A RECRUITER,
HE SAID "THEY'LL PAY YA BIG BUCKS IF YA WORK ON A COMPUTER",
UNIX THAT IS ... HARD DRIVES ... WORKSTATIONS;
WELL THE FIRST THING YA KNOW OL' JED'S AN ENGINEER,
THE KINFOLK SAID "JED MOVE AWAY FROM HERE",
THEY SAID "ARIZONA IS THE PLACE YA OUGHTA BE",
SO HE BOUGHT SOME DONUTS AND MOVED TO AHWATUKEE,
INTEL THAT IS ... DRY HEAT ... NO AMUSEMENT PARKS;
ON HIS FIRST DAY AT WORK THEY STUCK HIM IN A CUBE,
FED HIM MORE DONUTS AND SAT HIM AT A TUBE,
THEY SAID "YOUR PROJECT'S LATE BUT WE KNOW JUST WHAT TO DO,
INSTEAD OF 40 HOURS, WE'LL WORK YOU FIFTY-TWO!"
OT THAT IS ... UNPAID ... MANDATORY
THE WEEKS ROLLED BY AND THINGS WERE LOOKING BAD,
SOME SCHEDULES SLIPPED AND SOME MANAGERS WERE MAD,
THEY CALLED ANOTHER MEETING AND DECIDED ON A FIX,
THE ANSWER WAS SIMPLE, "WE'LL WORK HIM SIXTY-SIX"
TIRED THAT IS ... STRESSED OUT ... NO SOCIAL LIFE
MONTHS TURNED INTO YEARS AND HIS HAIR WAS TURNING GRAY,
JED WORKED HARD WHILE HIS LIFE SLIPPED AWAY,
WAITING TO RETIRE WHEN HE TURNED SIXTY-FOUR,
INSTEAD HE GOT A CALL AND THEY ESCORTED HIM OUT THE DOOR,
LAID-OFF THAT IS ... DEBRIEFED ... UNEMPLOYED
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE
