Thread: I had almost forgotten---

Well, boys and girls. ---I think this may be a case of "be carefull what you wish for". This afternoon, about 3:00, the owner of this fledgling mining machine company proceeded (for the third time this week) to instruct me on the correct way to dimension shop drawings. I listened patiently, then proceeded to explain to him that I was dimensioning shop drawings while he was still shitting yellow, that I had worked in shops where fractional dimensions were used, in shops where decimal dimensions were used, in shops where everything was layed out by hand by a "layout man", in shops where all holes were put in on a mill or boring table, in shops where all work was done in metric, in shops where all work was done in British Imperial, 33 years on a drafting board, 2 years using Autocad, and 7 years using Solidworks 3D software and no one has ever taken issue with my dimensioning practices before!!! ----I will be starting a new contract WORKING FROM MY HOME OFFICE on Monday.

Guess you told him!!!

Oh heck, you'll enjoy working from home more anyway.
