No shit, but where the hell were you at 7:25?

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go pour bleach into my inner ear canal …

This reminds me of my first real job– a t-shirt screenprinting factory. The company soon moved to a shiny new facility, but for some reason couldn’t get production back up to the levels at the old, run-down place despite having almost twice the machinery.

One day, the management took each crew, one at a time, into a conference room and asked us what we thought the company could do to get the production numbers back up. I started looking through the classifieds the next day; they might as well have set up a neon sign over the entrance saying “WE’RE FUCKED AND WE DON’T HAVE A CLUE WHY”.

(for the record, I thought the old facility had the machines so close together, we could see each other’s production numbers, and that led to a friendly, unofficial rivalry between crews. The new place had the machines so far apart and isolated, that sense of competition evaporated. Plus, the new machines sucked. That didn’t seem to register with the management drones, though. But I’m not sure how that works with the analogy I’m trying to make above.)

I saw them, but since the same thing happened to me not long ago, I feel your pain and will not point and laugh.

thanks for that ‘Q’, it says it all.
