We don't shut down until 3 today. Kinda sucks! Big Boss sent and email down to give everyone two hours off. I thought big whoop. Giving that we have 400 employees and the average billing rate is $100/hr., that a nice hunk of money they are loosing. So in the big scheme, it is a big whoop.   :(

I don't mind working Xmas eve as long as we get out early.  I never do anything and I make the holiday pay rate!

 

Get out of there ASAP and enjoy your holiday and time off! :(

Well, I've been "working" for two hours now and haven't done a thing yet.

 

I wish I could just leave, it's not like I get any extra money or anything for working today.  Heck, I'm part time so I don't even get paid for tomorrow  :(

For those stuck at work like myself her is an example on how to skip out.  

1st put all the work piled on your desk or inbox into an internal mail envelope and send it to yourself.  That way if the boss looks at your desk it appears you have completed your tasks.  The next day you are at work and you receive your mail with all your work you sent yourself the boss will realize how overworked you are.  

As for the phones contact a friendly coworker and have them forward their phone to you and you forward your phone to them.  I'm still working on a solution for pagers as my boss does not accept the bad battery excuse.  And you can only drop your pager in the water by accident so often.

 

Enjoy the holidays!!

I am working, but my assistants wanted to. I  would rather be here that at the mall!  We arehaving bad weather anyway.  But, the positive part is we have seen some patients that were sure glad we were here, including some out of  town folks who have family in the hospital and had an emergency. So, their appreciation expressed to us was very rewarding :(

Merry Christmas

I got out at 1:30 as opposed to noon which I was supposed to.  Geez, the boss waited until 11:30 to dump a few hours of work on me.  That sucked, but at least I'm home now and I can smell the food cooking.

 

 

Anyways, merry christmas to all of you  :(

Just came in from "work" about five minutes ago, been out there a good portion of the day.  As opposed to most, I kinda like being out there feeding my cattle on the holidays, even though its donkey ass cold, its really peaceful, quiet, and no one else driving around.  Tomorrow I usually enjoy more, feeding silage being the only one out there.  We're having close to 50 people here in the house tomorrow as well, chores give me a good excuse to escape that for a bit tomorrow afternoon, a guy just needs a breather from it every once in awhile.

I just got home from work, worked for about 3 hours.  We got a 4hr PAID early release from work today, gotta love working for Uncle Sam.  Nothing new though, they do this every year for Christmas Eve and New Years Eve.  :(

I went into work this morning for about three hours. Not all that bad considering I have spent more then one Holiday season Haze Grey and Underway on US Navy ships. I will probibly be out there next year at this time. I know there are a lot of soilders, sailors, and airmen in some key locations on the globe that are not home this year and are wondering if they will be home next or ever again. I am very greatful for the Holidays I get to spend with my family.

Well I just got to work(1000pm). I came in early to let the 3-11 shift go home. I'm fortunate I can go by the house later and help the boss put the presents under the tree. Ill be at work till 630AM about that time the kids will be getting up. I'll spend time with the family and then take a nap. I'm off tomorrow so its not to bad. I get extra pay for tonight to help offset the cost of the holidays. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL

      2007 Silverado classic Cooling fan running

      By Mistycool · Posted

      I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?

      Gas Prices

      Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL

      Auto start stop disable

      Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Atlas · Posted

      Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
