started off today one man short, due to one of the guys calling in sick. began, shortly after 6 a.m., installing buss plug and running approx. 250 ft. of 2 inch conduit to one of the new machines we recently acquired. had to pull off project several times during the day to handle "breakdowns". one, in particular, a recurring problem that we have tried to fix for over a week now. i finally decided to modify the program in the slc 5/04, to "streamline" the instructions and get rid of some un-needed redundancy. machine ran very well for the next few hours, (over 5000 cycles without a mishap), then crashed again with 2 new problems. in the meantime, after completing the 2 inch conduit run and getting set up to pull wire, (for second shift), the engineer in charge of the project told my supervisor, in an e-mail!, to hold off on running any conduit or air and hydraulic lines because the machine needed to be moved 32 inches, per a "revised" floor layout that nobody has seen!
my supervisor is in his second day of trying to quit smoking, so he was a lot grumpier and more stressed than he usually is. and he decided to unload on me and my crew today for the conduit debacle, the machine that won't "stay" fixed, and the tech. guy that had the nerve to call in sick!
before i left for the day, i told him i've been thinking about quitting smoking myself, but i was gonna wait till he mellowed out because we didn't need a war going on in maintenance with 2 grumpy old men at each other's throats!
sorry guys, been one of those days.... i just had to vent.
