Shysters
Had a plane limp into the hangar on Friday with a fuel leak. Nice one for a bit of OT. Even more brill that there was OT on Saturday too. Nice boost to the lagging pay packet of the past months. Had the pleasure of working with "E" again. Job wasn't too bad, it was just long winded. But with the never ending cheerfulness of "E" by my side, just made the day so much lighter. Infact despite the set backs and lil surprises the plane threw at us I reckon we made good progress.
Was a bit taken aback when I stepped into work today to still see the plane sitting there. Was even more taken aback with the grilling that bordered on a bollocking. Which most undeserved. As everything had been pretty much in order when "E" and myself left on Saturday night. Term mountain out of a mole hill was coined for just such a situation. As expected was stuck back on the job. And as one would expect the plane threw yet more curve balls. Causing what steps forward I could make, step back. Also didn't help that the management threw out a few wild cards that required what few completed tasks that were done to be redone.
The real straw for the camels back came not from all this, but by those working with me. It seemed every question and suggestion was a stab at poking a hole. Or finding a slip up. And sure enough any lil inconsistency or mistake on my part was met with stern glares and much tutting. Jeez no one ever gets it right 100% all the time. Which was why I love working with guys like "A", "J" and "E". They understand that everyone makes silly slip ups some times and that is why we work together. To help cover up each others short comings.
Here is 1 example from today. Had to reinstall a very big panel to a wing. Big as in 1.5M x 0.75m x 0.5m. More to the point it was the front edge of the wing so kinda obvious it was there. But it wasn't fully fitted. 90% of the screws were not installed. In the official work log I had left an entry stating to install that panel. Just to receive a stern talking to that I did not specify the panel was only partially installed. Surely asking for someone to install a panel means it is not fully installed? So where was I going wrong. Was also given what for because I did not state where the panel to be installed was kept. I had written the location it needed to be installed to in the work log. Citing this I tried to explain surely the person would read where the panel needed to be fitted and find the panel on there. But no, they insisted anyone taking up the job would see no panel at eye level and abandon the job, so the panel's whereabouts needed to be specified. FFS...
Things like this make me hate my job somedays. People out to shovel shit on the closest person to hand and with a bloody great broom rub it in. Only to weave, duck n dive the moment anything resembling responsibility came their way. I totally lost count how many times they used the old " just do xxxx once we do that, it will be time for home... night shifts problem then" That attitude doesn't fuckin work. Cos night shift says the same thing. So nothing ever gets done. Everyone lunges for the quickest and easiest job and palms off anything that is a lil tricky for the next lot. I also hate the attitude of "we are inspectors, we don't get our hands dirty" which was going around today. 1 of them pretty much refused to walk up a set of stairs cos he felt he had walked up them enough for 1 day. Another actually called for a car to drive him about cos he didn't want to walk anymore. What the hell... God gave you arms and legs. If ya don't use them maybe He should take em back...
In case ya didn't guess... majorly cheezed today. Unfortunately it will continue tomorrow. Hence the blasting of steam. Lest I let loose with the safety off tomorrow.

That's how chicken got their tiny wings and eventually became land animal,... same with ostriches. They are as I've mentioned animals in a protected nature reserve, the next time they come to you and throw sh*t at ya, imagine them as ayams without feathers and tiny tiny lil wings, that might make you feel slightly better.
