    Dang Kaz. You're giving Deb a run for her money on those multi-quotes!!!! :w00t:

    Hahahahaha! I'm tryin'... but I got a long ways to go before I can catch up to Deb! She's the Multi-Quote Qween! :laugh:

    @Kaezziel Congratulations on your promotion darling!!! :wub::banana::wub::banana::wub::banana::wub:

    Thank you, SweetHeart! Though I just this very moment heard that may be in question. There is consideration that they will move a supervisor from the machine shop over here to run my department. :censored::grr::censored::grr::censored::grr:
    That better not happen... they've been telling me for 10 1/2 years that I'm next in line... they take that away, and I may be looking for a new job real soon...

    I'm not liking your post, Brother Kaez. I'm saying :censored: :censored: :censored: right there wif ya :(

    We'll see what happens. I've got a coupla bargaining chips. It helps that I'll be the only one who really knows how all of this equipment works. I imagine that things will work out in my favor in the end... even if I have to play a little hardball.

    I'm right there with you on this. I was told when I was hired that all it took was 500 hours to become permanent with this company. I have 900 hrs right now. Plus I was moved to a job that is almost impossible to do. I told my temp rep that I feel like I'm being worked like a borrowed mule or an underpaid slave. I don't have time to go to the restroom. Plus I'm verbally abused by the coordinator in one of the lines. I have told all of my group leaders, supervisors etc and none want to do anything about it. Then I heard a rumor last night that the company is so employee starved that they are direct hiring anyone for any shift and all they need is a high school diploma. I've been there six months on the 20th of this month. If nothing has changed by the time we get off for the holidays, then even if I don't have another job, I won't be returning.

    He does look like a beautiful pup, at least from the picture. I haven't seen him yet in person. They just got him a few days ago. I just hope they are prepared for how big he's gonna be when he's full grown.:D

    Oh, Good News.... my 101Vape package arrived this morning (which in all reality is fine - I wasn't at the office yesterday anyway :pervy: ) New battery charger, six new batteries and the elusive Nauti X so I can play with the Quad-Flex RDTA setup :w00t:

    Prolly a good thing that mah stuffz arrived today - I was rewicking my KF V3 Chubby, and the lead popped off :shock: (I always have a spare PT2 on hand.....) Got it reassembled and rewicked, so no major heart attacks here. But, it could be a good excuse to break out the Nauti X and run it on its own (or even the Triton Mini.....) First World problems, right?

    Also, found out recently that I'll likely be promoted to department supervisor around the middle of January! :D FINALLY!!! I was told that I would be taking over that role when I moved to this department... they neglected to tell me that it was a 10 year plan. :sneaky: :lol:

    :censored::censored::censored: Ugh! I was so hoping that they'd started taking better care of you by now! :grr::grr::grr: I'm sorry, Darlin'... wish there was something that I could do to make things better for you. :(:(:(

    Yeah... well, I'm just gonna bide my time and see how things play out. Either way, I'll end up on top in the end. I'm too damn stubborn not to. ;)

    I went through that where i work now.They won't direct hire except for managers and supervisors,so all production people have to go in as a temp,and the first thing they tell everyone is after 500 hours,your eligible for hire.What they don't tell people,is that they very rarely do any hiring.I worked there for very close to 3 years before i finally got hired in,and the only reason i got it then was because another guy that did the same job i was doing,got fired.I was doing the same exact job,but making $10 an hour less than the full time people,if i had not gotten hired when i did,i would not of stayed.Like you,my job is very fast paced,and it is not a job that most people there are even capable of doing,so i had already made up my mind that i was not going to stay if i didn't get hired.Now,i have been full time for a bit over 6 years,and sort of wish i would of looked for something else back then.
