Welcome to our little slice of ECF!!
I do feel a bit better today. Not as draggy as previous days. I had errands to run this morning so I stopped by CVS to pick up some Mucinex. Off to work in a little while!

Prayers for a perfect fit in a new area, Lynn!
I "sleep it off", too. I'm not at 100% most days. With the fatigue & flu like symptoms associated with RA & the suppressed immune system I always feel like I'm coming down with something. I rest a lot, so I have the physical resources when I need to run errands or actually do something. Naps occur daily. I don't get out unless I have to. "Have to" means Groceries, Rx, Drs, pet & house sittings. All of which are followed up by naps.

Pics, please!@LynnNC, I hope you get to feeling better soon
Picked up a new "toy". Didn't really "need" it, but I'd been eyeing the reuleaux Mini. Stopped in a shop and got a decent deal from a B&M. The clerk was pretty cool (and realized I wasn't a newb
So I guess I'll call that my Vapaversary gift to myself!

Well, that is weird. Probably the battery, still maybe the mod. Put in a fresh set but mark their position in the mod, like slot 1 and 2. Then see if there's a significant imbalance in draw out of them.
that stinks. Jup I'd never used mucinex, but that helped quite a bit. Son and dil both had bronchitis, gd might have had it also. Dunno if I had it, didn't go to the doc. Last time when son was little, that I thought I had bronchitis and went to the doc and told him I had bronchitis, I left there with pneumonia!
Thanks darlin! Hope SO is better very soon, and y'all can get her home ok if that's the plan.
really hoping you get in a much better area! Sleep is the best thing to heal ya
oh kewl!@LynnNC, I hope you get to feeling better soon

HG has already shipped the Medusa - fast as always.
On RXs, I'm looking for one, but it's an RX350 [emoji5]

I've been taking the Mucinex all day and I'm starting to feel some better. At least my chest is not as tight as it was and the cough seems to be not a dry.
I do, too, but I usually get the Mucinex-D from behind the pharmacy counter. I usually don't really sleep for the first two days because of the pseudo-ephedrine, but it's the only thing that has kept me from getting sinus infections for the past several years!
Glad that you're starting to feel better, SweetPea! Hope that last night worked out well for ya!
Last night was ok. They stuck me in Safe Launch which is a place that I don't really understand. Parts are inspected in and by people in the individual cells but some cells parts have to go to Safe Launch to be reinspected before they're shipped out. They do that because some cells have had quality issues. My question is why? If they've sent bad parts in the past, why not write those folks up? It just seems like a waste of time and money to me.I do, too, but I usually get the Mucinex-D from behind the pharmacy counter.

Safe Launch is common in the automotive industry, used when manufacturing new products or if an estabished product line has seen bad items popping up in the field.
It's pushed downhill as a requirement from the higher-level manufacturers. If a widget that's been in production starts haviing early failures in the field, the higher level manufacturer wants to make sure that the supplier corrects their build process. Part of it is retraining/retooling (if that's at fault -- say a fab machine has gone out of tolerance). Another part, what you're doing, is having a second set of eyes inspect things (if the production line QA folks had caught the defects at their level, bad parts wouldn't have reached the buyer).
As a buyer I don't care if someone gets written up, I need to have the parts I receive meet the specs. You are helping make sure the buyer doesn't get faulty merchandise.

I know...we caught several parts last night that were not exactly right. According to the person I worked with last night, when the big boss comes in at the end of the month, only the parts from cells that are newly set up will be sent to Safe Launch. The rest of the parts that are checked from well established cells are going away. The group leaders/coordinators/supervisors etc will be held responsible for bad parts coming from those cells. That will definitely tighten up the chance of bad parts coming from those cells. My previous employer manufactured transmissions. There were no "Safe Launch" there. If a bad transmission showed up in the field, the team leader on that line's job was on the line. By doing it that way, the team leader did his job by making sure his workers were well trained the right way. In my 3 years there in quality, we only had 2 field claims.

Yep, exactly what Mark said. It is just another (extra) QA inspection process. What it sounds like to me is that the people in the cells would be referred to as "In Process Inspection". Safe Launch is more of a "Final Inspection" before being shipped out to the customer. That's not a bad place to be, honestly.
For me, it's a catch 22 place. It's a slower paced job than I'm used to so I got bored quite a bit. Because I was just placed there on a short term basis, I'm not qualified to inspect parts yet so I'm a mover. Nothing like dead lifting 35lb parts from chest high when you're not used to it then having to move them to another skid that is also chest high.
It is what it is...anything to have and keep a job right?Yeah, that sounds like that would suck.
Found something that brightened my day. I stole this picture off my daughter's Facebook page this morning.
