Working with PIGS

[mayday]

the guys on vacation so Im out keeping his machine going. I have to come up with a semi-nice way to tell him to clean up his act. I ran this machine when it was new in '93. I always kept it clean. wiped it down, cleaned the coolant tank, everything. today its a f_ing mess. its an enclosed horzontal,so you have to walk inside to check things on the part. so far 2 hours today running and cleaning so much scum on the windows no light gets in. I'd hate to see this guys house

open for suggestions.

Im thinking a little in the operators message screen

A clean desk is the sign of an idle mind.

I have the same problem here. I would go out and run machines and while they were running I would be cleaning the outside of it. After about four days of me doing this (they took notice of this up front and liked it) and the other operators standing around talking about deer hunting, I stopped doing it. Well they finally noticed up front that I had dropped to their level and did no more than they, while the machines were running. Finally something was said to everyone and the problem was solved. But for only about 2 weeks, of course now it is back the way it was, which gave me the attitude of "if they don't care about their machinery, then niether do I".

We got them here too

There qoute is :

"Hey I'm paid to put the chips on the floor

Not pick them up"

There theory is also

"You run the machines into the ground then

You get new ones"...

Many years ago I had a job running a manual

Bridgeport. I was fly-cutting aluminum blocks

and making a huge mess. I started sweeping some

of it up and the boss came out and said he'd

fire me if he ever caught me running a broom

again. He didn't have to tell me twice

Do what I did one time when my owners son didnt clean up after himself one time. I took all the oily tools, Chips and rags I used ot clean the Machine on put the whole box on his Desk. When he cam in the next day his whole desk was covered in oild. It got inot his desk drwas and everything. I was working nights and was tired of cleaning up his messes. He went on a rant and his DAD asked my boss his son why he was upset. He expalined and showed him what I did. The owner then told his son he better get his xxxx out there and make sure that the machien was clean or coudl happen again.

Aren't the owners sons the worst!

 

No offense to any of you "owners sons", that don't act like the "typical owners sons"

I have more than once told a Boss that I would not be running a job before I had cleaned and done maintance on a machine, told them that I am trying to be as profesional as I can be, and that he never would see Mario Andretti start a race without having a clean race car, and made sure that there was oil in the motor.

My favorite comment that I have heard quite often...

---

Why clean it, it will just get dirty again

Sometimes I want to put them in the machine and hit the go button.

Nice one Mayday, I will use that!

 

[crazy^millman]

Or we are not buying any more soap and we expect you to wear them same clothers for the rest of the year. No shi? I worked with a guy that would wear the same clother everyday for 6 months then g obuy a new set of clother and wear them for 6 months. The werid part is not isnt weaird enough is that he was worth millions and just didnt want to spend his money.

 

May^day that is a good one I like that.

This morning I walked into the shop with confidence and

went up to the operator that has been continually ruining

my parts.I give the machine a quick glance, then

casually I look at my watch for a moment. The operator

notices this and asks," What's up are you timeing me"

"No," I replied, "I just got this state-of-the-art watch, and

I was just testing it." The intrigued operator says,

"A state-of-the-art watch? What's so special about it?"

I then explained, "It uses alpha waves to talk to me

telepathically. The operator says,

"What's it telling you now?"

"Well, it says you're not paying enough attention to the

parts and your going to scrap this job " The operator

laughs and replies, "Well, it must be broken, because

I just had this work inspected and The part is just fine

I grin and , tap my watch and say,

"Damn thing's an hour fast."

 

Scott teh' I enjoyed this

That is great!!

[Polite Luther]

How about BAD BO? And I'm not talking "normal" BO, but BO so bad that you know who was in the room 15 minutes before you. And the worse part is, you tell the boss and he tells YOU to go tell him to take a !#!# shower because they're too cowardly to do their "managers" job of managing smelly *ss pig employees.

Good one Scott,
