Well, what did he recommend?Signing up for TIG next go-'round. He agreed to show me a thing or two on MIG and told me what machine to buy.
Hate that - the struggle to keep them open and that slightly "out of body - eyes vibrating" feeling when you do manage to keep them open. Not fun!All day meeting yesterday. My eyes were literally spinning when they weren’t trying to close. Then dinner.
Time to make the donuts.
Is it... Leg Day??Have a great day all. Dragging my carcass off to the gym. Trainer day there will be pain lol
This ticks me off. I've been known to send "confirmation emails" after those type of discussions as a CYA.Well today just turned into a complete shit show. Bottom line, two pieces of equipment that I was responsible for, but were stored in another building, have turned up missing. I was directed (of course verbally, never in writing) to leave that equipment at the remote site. They will initiate an investigation but eventually I’m sure I’ll be held liable and have to pay for them. Fuck that. I’m livid right now.
Sorry to dump this here, but I don’t have many other areas where I can vent. Hope everyone else is having a better day.
I like your new signature
Looks like a decent machine. Only comment is low tig amps at 15A vs some others at 5A. Most likely not an issue, but could be useful for very thin material. (Razor blades or pop cans for the fun of it).
That does not look relaxing at all
The countdown started the minute the equipment was identified as missing. They have 14 days to initiate an investigation and if I’m found liable I’ll be financially responsible to pay for the missing equipment (after depreciation of course). It’s the Federal Government so what do you expect.This ticks me off. I've been known to send "confirmation emails" after those type of discussions as a CYA.
(Yes, I have trust issues)
Total BS that they can put you personally on the hook for issuing their directives verbally.
Makes me wonder if they already knew they were missing at the time???
(Yep - those trust issues again)
Quick email to recap our discussion. Confirming you want the following pieces of equipment to remain the in the remote storage location at (address/room/etc.):
list of equipment - w/ asset tags if available
Any chance you can drag it all out for a while? Where's that countdown at??![]()
Ya not to hip in a bunch of dead bugs. I suspect that in that job you might see a few things like that...Crazy Busy Day
sounds pretty on-brand with everyone else's
short catch up

I didn't see any pulse settings. That has been handy in a few cases. But might not be a problem you ever run into.
There are others out there too. Modern welding equipment is getting so cheap lately, it sure doesn't hurt to shop around!
I should have gotten on and attended as I wasn't sleeping anyway!Good Morning to the 3am Club
Hope the rest of you are all sleeping in and missing this morning's meeting.

You can vent to us all you want or need to. I am sorry this happened to you. I am hoping that it will get straightened out and that you won’t be on the hook for anything.The countdown started the minute the equipment was identified as missing. They have 14 days to initiate an investigation and if I’m found liable I’ll be financially responsible to pay for the missing equipment (after depreciation of course).

And to add one more kick in the balls, I was reviewing my online depot card statement and I found an authorized charge. Now my card is locked while the bank does their fraud investigation, two weeks before Christmas.
And I wonder why I can’t get into the holiday spirit this year.
Hope everyone is having a better day. Thanks again for listening.
Hot shower, massage your face, back to bed!I’m not sleeping in as once again the sinuses woke me up.
Good morning Wat, L2,OM, Sub and NC.
