Sometimes you just need to scream!!!

LOL, you think people pay attention to red tags?

 

[Master slacker]

Red tags or not, there was a meeting Monday morning with Ops and Maintenance to SPECIFICALLY prep for the hard freeze condition. Ops was assigned the action of opening all utility station water valves. I did it before them because I knew it would be done and I don't trust most of them. If they came behind and opened some I missed, that's cool. But they CLOSED THEM! Who the F does that when the plant manager tells them to open them?

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

Maybe they got confused and thought they were closed...

 

[Master slacker]

They probably did...

Maybe they need remedal classes in righty-tighty, lefty-loosey.

One cannot simply teach "ownership" of one's plant.

Aka right hand rule.

I was in a physics exam one time and saw folks using their left hand to determine current flow in a magnetic field. I doubt it went well for them.

Well yeah, you're writing with your right hand, so the left hand is free. It seems so natural I've almost done it too.

LOL, agreed.

You use your right hand as a short cut to determine flow of electrons in a magnetic field....

Right hand rule for EE's I guess.

^ no I was agreeing with the facepalm. Not the "dunno". Which I actually interpreted Mike's post as being how would they not know that. But maybe he didn't know himself.

But I'm left-handed, what am I supposed to do!

 

[Capt Worley PE]

From the "I knew I should have taken note of who made it, but I didn't know I'd like it" department:

In 2006, I bought a couple of bookcases from Kmart. The chromed sides folded out from the chromed back, you clamped the bottom section to the top, then you installed the wood shelves.

Dang shelves are awesome. I'd like some more, but no manufacturers name is on the shelves, and I can't find them on Kmarts site.

Google image search day ahead of me, i guess....

Not become an EE. Which you succeeded at. Well done!

You can still be useful, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleming%27s_left_hand_rule_for_motors

Thanks! I do have a problem with my pup eating live electrical cables though.

No, I knew it. I also know it to be useful for basic mechanics too.
