Den of Wolves

She's coming to get you < insert name here >!

Another day another dollar, minus a chunk for the government and healthcare, so that leaves me with... what? 34 cents? Yay! Uber bucks! But seriously. Today turned out to be a bust somewhat. To start off, the fine trainer who I was suppose to work with today was absent. So I was told to just hang around and observe the processes and gather as much as I can from it. Which I did. I asked quite a few questions from the machine tech's and the 2nd shift supervisor who was on first shift for two weeks (as well as his people) for an upgrading on proceedures. But unfortunately for the tech's it wasn't a grand day for them. The printer (shown left) either kept creating solder shorts or wouldn't load the boards in properly. Not only that, it had some issues with board height, followed by additional printing issues. But after a good long while, things started to work its way through and everything was up and running. Even with all that going on I managed to collected a decent amount of notes to help with jobs ahead. Overall I was fairly pleased with the day, and hopefully my trainer will be there tomorrow, so I won't just be an observer for the day.

As for the SS card issue. Turns out that I'm going to have to send it through the mail and wait the traditional 2 weeks, or was it 10 days to get my newly reissued card. Note to self: Don't leave wallet where future puppy can attain it.

I decided to take a break today of music videos and thought I would introduce "How the movie should of been made." segment. Well actually I should call it "If it were made this way, I would pay to see it." So sit right back and enjoy the trailer to "Scary Mary".
