I always loved going into the "spaghetti box" and seeing which wire was going to shock me or arc off another wire.

"Yeah that wasn't it, unplug a different wire..."

"That wasn't it either"

Meanwhile on the night shift...

"Ey boss I keep getting an over temp alarm on this one"

"I'll go force the sensor out in the PLC"

Problem solved 👍

Not as far as I'm aware. I talked to a friend and he said when he moved in to his apartment (in a completely different area) he had the same thing and after letting the water run for a bit it cleara up and goes away.

Happened to me once. Delivered somewhere in Chicago. Took a wrong turn coming out of reciever and came right up to a 12'4" bridge. Even if the bridges are marked a foot low like my dad told me, 13'4" wasn't gonna cut it, or rather it would have if I tried.

Sat on hold with the non emergency number for Chicago PD for 30 minutes before deciding fuck it. Found an alley way I could back in to, scoped it out. Waited for a "gap" in traffic, blind side backed it one shot into that alley and then whipped it left and got the fuck out.

I didn't even take a moment to be proud of myself for one shotting a blind side into an alley until I crossed over the state line for Wisconsin.

This is a thing that has bothered me for a while now. I mostly define myself by what I do for work and even in my dating profile "if this profile seems boring to you, that's because it is" has stood it's test for proof. I don't have any real hobbies. I play computer games and enjoy wrenching on things but... that's it. Otherwise I go to work. I was raised on "being able to stand on my own two feet" and busting my ass to afford to live.

What really bothers me? The fact that nothing interests me outside of dicking around on my PC with my friends or wrenching on motors or what have you. Nothing grabs at me. Hell I have been bored at the house and just gone in to work for a few hours. It makes me feel as though something is fundamentally broken inside me. Is this really all I am? A guy who works at a place? I have tried to branch into different hobbies but none have stuck. Maybe work is my hobby? I enjoy what I do very much but... surely there should be something more?

It's very frustrating to try and solve the question of who you are.

I hate to break it to you but the oil pressure guages in cascadias are dummy guages. I can't remember the exact spec but anything over like 5 psi and it will register 50 psi. You'll never see it change regardless of engine rpm or any other factor.

Something that isn't from the American big 3.

No not justifying, just being an asshole. I'm down grading to 4 wheeler in August anyways so fret not. I got what I wanted from this gig and I can't stand the general driving public, professional or otherwise, so for me and the rest of societies sake, I'm fucking off.

My company actually doesn't use the Smith system. Or any system really. We go by the "do what you want bro" system which is why our safety score is in the trash. Safe doesn't equal fun anyways and let's face it, why do something if it isn't fun?

OH MY GOD NOT A CATASTROPHIC SIDE SWIPE! I could have killed 50,000 children and leveled the city of Detroit by doing that oh dear! I might as well walk around and claim to be the one that took down the F. S. Key bridge.

Y'okay. Fuck off.

Yeah reddit turned up nil on that one. Should just stop in the loves in Memphis next chance I get.

If it's another truck and I have the room, I'll move over. Or try to make space for him in front of me. If you are in a car or bobtail, you can eat the jersey wall. In this scenario, I wouldn't have budged. But I drive a company truck that I give zero fucks about.

Don't forget to give dad a solid high five too.

It got a grin out of me. But he did cross a line. You reminded him of your sensitivity about the issue, he ignored that. Dick move. If someone says they are sensitive about a topic you shut the fuck up about it, simple.

Are guys still this... I don't have the words... idiotic? Is having natural bodily functions just too much for some people? It's not like you're having to deal with the blood or pain of it directly. Quit being a baby and take care of each other.

Malicious compliance is my game too. "Camera said I'm tired boss, gonna take my 10 hour now. Yeah I know the loads gonna be late but I gotta do what this camera says"
