yeah you guys suck!



I have no workforce today, both my day-shift guys are on a v-day. I'm sitting here filling out a self-evaluation sheet cause my review is next week. Wanna talk about bs... Yesterday was my 6yr anniversary here at JM, can't believe its been that long already.
Petey, I see job openings in the catalyst plants all the time if your even interested, I could forward some of them to you? Really there for poeple who already are JM employee's, but I think they get referals that way too.

i have to fill out a self evaluation form here too. what's there to review? i am the only one that does what i do here and haven't killed anyone nor are there complaints. administration usually make up ridiculous goals for me about hosting a medical grand rounds when i already round with all teaching and attending staff already.

management/administration are here to do things to justify them having jobs in the first place.

I f'ing hate self evals and think they're pointless. I refused to do them at my work for the last 3 years and just finally last year they did away with them.

Must've been a nice severance package to earn a Serial severance?

To a degree I agree with you.

Def sucks.

My favorite question is "What do you think your goals should be for next year? Please list. Not only list, they want a target date.

To a degree again... Its not like any of this has anything to do with the $ amount of my raise (if any, manufacturing sucks, thanks economy).

Have you ever used a MBC before? Just watch boosting in 4th and 5th when at low rpm's, it will spike really high on you.

Back in my vr4 I made a mbc with parts from homedepot. Worked well, but would surge in higher gears. Switched to an ebc and was loving it. Set the gain high enough so that I wouldnt spike, but would hit peak boost 300rpms sooner than the stock solenoid. The halman is working fantastic so far.

This is actually a very good thing for me. I've wanted to make a change for some time, but the right opportunity never came along. Now my former employer and the gov't is going to finance my job search. I'm using this as an opportunity to make some good things happen. I'm quitting smoking, quitting soda, cutting down on the prostitutes, and I see a track day in the not too distant future


just kidding about the prostitutes....I won't be cutting back.

As least you knew it was coming.

As far as quitting smoking this is what I did... Get ish faced drunk, smoke like 2packs that day so when you wake up the following morning your so hungover you don't even want a cigarette. Then after the first day (or later on that day) go get the patch. It worked well for me, I started on step #2, the 1st step would have been way to strong for me. I think I wore it for 3weeks total. Just don't go to sleep with it on, its like tripping *****, you wake up and be like WTF!?! The most vivid, f(cked up dreams you'll ever have.

I smoked for 14yrs, haven't had a drag in 5yrs this month. Best thing I ever did for myself.
