Mild stroke, heat prostration, concussion, drug side effect, etc... Covering up may have been a panic response to not knowing why he's suddenly having problems with a normal job function.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2527913791294258201.post-66592599628810250102016-07-04T19:39:54.209-07:002016-07-04T19:39:54.209-07:00Care and attitude very important it it ain't t...Care and attitude very important it it ain't there it makes it very difficult to work at any job.<br /><br />When I work with people who seem stun at what they do but should be intelligent to have the job, i wonder if the surveyor was being stun like a fox for some reason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2527913791294258201.post-10405486813741413002016-07-03T20:30:32.036-07:002016-07-03T20:30:32.036-07:00I'm in calibration.

Correct measurement is where things start: you, for instance, can't transfer fuel if you don't know how much is where. I tell younger employees that we don't sell calibration services, we sell integrity. It's the foundation of our business--everything is documented & traceable. We must be models of probity.<br />The above is why it really pisses me off when folks don't care about the job. In my mind, that's a sign of a worthless bastard anyhow, but seeing it in my field really burns my ass.<br />It probably means I'm a damned old curmudgeon, too, but I already know that.<br />--Tennessee BuddAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2527913791294258201.post-34887306472743305312016-07-03T07:50:23.739-07:002016-07-03T07:50:23.739-07:00Saltytar- of course!

STxAR- I...Saltytar- of course! No problem at all. <br /><br />STxAR- I think everyone who cares about their work is always their own worst critic. Every job, almost every little thing, really, afterwards I find things that I could have done better. I get the fuckits some days, just like anyone, but try to work through it rather than indulge, mostly not out of some mighty ethic, but because I hate having to be ashamed of myself. <br />Paul, Dammit!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02264872375942355609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2527913791294258201.post-15022713368266751382016-07-03T06:56:01.437-07:002016-07-03T06:56:01.437-07:00"What made me pissed was the attempt to resol..."What made me pissed was the attempt to resolve the issue wasn't an attempt to fix the problem, but to hide the mistake." <br /><br />This is the epitome of the American way now. We show up for work, spend the hours and expect pay. Whether we do a good job or poor. There is a distinct lack of craftsmanship now. Jay nailed one of my other gripes: bailing out the un-diligent.<br /><br />That's why I like your blog. Your devotion to doing a good job is encouraging to me.
