CSB3: When A Stripped Bolt Adds 14 Hours To A Job

[jay745]

ill let you borrow mine if you bring it back next day

I don't need it currently but that's not the point

It's the principal, goddamn it!

put better - if i only shit once per shift, 5 days a week, (which lets be honest...) i've been paid to take approx 4,680 shits.
working that number to 1/2 hour per 'shitft', and a median hourly rate over the last 18 years of working to $20, i may have made some $46,800 shitting.

damn could have shit out a mk8r.... if i didn't flush all my money down the toilet too.

ten minute shit a day at work every day ends up being just over 40h at the end of the year

I shit so much on a daily basis, unfortunately first thing when I wake up.
If I was able to do it on the clock it be the equivalent of 1.5 months vacation.

I prefer my privacy…and now my bidet.

Working in the office makes me more efficient than at home.
Also, the office has free to me A/C, we keep our home at 77deg to lower the bill, and at the office it's nice and crispy.
Some of my coworkers wear hoodies, and two of them have heaters... meanwhile, I'm chillin' in a tee... these Texans can't handle sub 70deg temps.
But yes, I do miss the bidet at home.

Staining furniture and pavilion. Also ran into problem with phone lines in house. Short version is I'm fkd. Cell only works kinda cause rural and house with numerous 2' thick stone walls. Looks like I will be rewiring all phone lines. Fuck the squirrel or mouse responsible for chewing them. I had to do tstat lines years ago when they got chewed and shorted together making one zone come on and keep calling for more heat

In August

Hot day August

Cast iron radiators

Good time to mention house is old with crawlspace instead of basement and many additions that don't really connect.

Yeah I keep the house on 78. I work on a hot production floor so I dip into the office to cool down, do some emails, get some parts quotes. We are coming into the cooler season, it gets down into the 60’s on the floor.

Jesus fuck. I would hate living with y'all.

68 during the day, 64 at night...

That would cost me a million dollars since it's still in the 90s here in Austin.

 

[GolNat]

68 is chilly AF. My electric bill would be insane lol.

Put some shorts on, take off your shirt.

I’ll put it on 76 if I’m cleaning or cooking. Also upstairs when I’m sleeping is 76.

 

[GolNat]

My July bill was $218 which was the highest summer month.

Buddy, you can't put a price on comfort.

My last two electric bills were over $500 each. And our house is only like 1400sq/ft, so it's not huge. I mean, you seen my house. But for context for those in CSB who haven't been to my house

But I don't care. It could be double that price. I wouldn't be happy, but I'd still be cool

 

[toothofwar]

I hate borrowing shit to people. WTF is wrong with people not returning shit after they borrow it??!? Any time I have to borrow something it gets returned right after I'm done. Annoying as shit having to ask for your stuff back.

I lent my brake caliper tool to someone a month ago and they haven't reached out to me about returning it.

Neet to borrow one? I'll send you mine if you need one.

78 in the summer, 65 in the winter. I love when it just chills around 74 in the spring and autumn, all those are the cheap months.

Moving air does wonders, so we always have the HVAC on circulate at a minimum, and fans aren't awful.
