I am just about burned out of this interim maintenance manager role. Maintenance group is supposed to have 1 manager (me), 1 reliability engineer, 1 rotating equipment specialist (tech), 2 mechanical engineers, and 1 I&E engineer. We've had 1 RE (he shows up to work, at least) and 1 rotating guy (thinks he's better than he is) since I've been here. Nothing is in SAP, we have few spare parts, few equipment drawings, and no one seems to know what regulatory inspections are. Sh*t has been hitting the fan in the past 2 weeks, we're short-handed, and I'm left with 6 piles of sh*t in, more or less, falling into just my hands. Word is a new full-time manager has accepted the job, but awaiting background checks before coming onsite. That mf'er better get here quick and pound the ground hard when he does. This has been an "experience" and I'm capable of doing this role, but in a plant with this type of derpty-derp culture and negative attitude (and being short-handed), this is best left to someone with a death wish. I need a f'ing drink... but I'm at work scooping up sh*t.

Well smack my ass and call me Nancy! The new manager will be starting on 12/18. Counting down the days!

Grr, bought a screen protector off of Amazon yesterday for my new Pixel 2 because the ones by the company @knight1fox3 loves have been sold out forever... Just to get an email this morning saying they were back in stock! Blah.

Annndddd TechArmor screen protectors purchased! The ones I got off of Amazon are crap. The instruction they sent to prep the phone and install the screen were great, but there is a giant (read: 1/8" thick) bubble around the ENTIRE perimeter of the screen protector. Not okay!

Or just follow our new philosophy:
KF: Truth be told though, I'm probably done with screen protectors after this phone. They all now come with Gorilla Glass and I don't have these phones long enough for them to get any major screen damage. And even if they did, there's not a huge gap with eligibility for new phones these days.

Haha! Maybe. I'm gonna give the TechArmor ones a try.
Whatever one I had for my Pixel, which was whatever one the Google Store sold at the time, was good. It had a minor crack after about 10 months of use.

For tooth brushing, my kids use the Timer+ app on my phone which has ads unless you upgrade. I keep forgetting to upgrade it but the ads are inconspicuous enough not to bother me. They're usually for games and grocery items. Last night after the kids had gone to bed, I walked into the bathroom to get my phone and saw a full-screen ad with a naked woman and a Snapchat logo saying "Hey do you want to f***?" Needless to say, I was furious. But at least the presence of the ad meant the kids didn't click on it and see even worse content. I deleted the app and am now waiting for Christmas for the kids to get their electric toothbrushes with built-in timers.

can you describe the woman? Brunette, red head, etc?
We bought those $40 electric toothbrushes for the kids when they were young and they greatly decreased our trips to the dentist for cavities and other conspiracy's to give the dentist good vacations!

I assume you don't have an iPhone with the stopwatch/timer function built-in.
I've never used a timer for brushing teeth.
For young kids I think I would invest in a cheap timer like this:

as opposed to giving my phone to the kids near the sink/toilet.
do you have a screenshot of the ad that we can evaulate?
