I did calculus in my dreams once*, the math made sense while I was dreaming but when I woke up I remembered integrating a bench into something**.
*calculating gravitational jerk in relativistic terms with j as a variable...I couldn't make sense of the math even when I was awake (high school)...mmm, I should throw it at mathematica perhaps. I need to practice using mathematica.
**no, it wasn't a tree.
Edit: Or a floating log bench.

... I started a thread about them and dreamt I was checking replies to the thread. I kept scrolling up and down and couldn't make out any of the replies. I just had a vague impression of what they said.

Now that's what I call being a "True PFer". Maybe there should be a PF Member Dreamweaver Award.

Actually, I think I've only dreamt about PF about twice before in ten+ years. Maybe that's because I can't read in my dreams.

Worst day ever! Wasted the whole day working on a bad cell, turned out I missed one step in the cleaning process, which caused lots of defects. So do other cells. My work for one whole week went to garbage. My day didn't go as planned at all too. I got a violation ticket even though I have a parking permit, how did that parking nazi not see it? I walked down the street mumbling and almost crying saying the only thing that would make my day worse is falling on the ground cause of the slippery ice, and by the time I finished thinking that, I did fall.

Thanks lisab. *sniffs*eats chocolate*sniffs*

I was not expecting that...

22222, I feel like a train.

Lol Borek.

Don't hate me but I have to admit that the last part(thinking about falling and then falling) was a bit funny

I am tired of this mask...

 

[drizzle]

How about using an un-enigmatic one?

Sometimes you just got to take one for the team.

umm... no.

Once they know you saved them money by fixing some piece of equipment, it gets added to the list of responsibilities on your job description.

It was my mind I was concerned about...

 

[Borek]

"You are old, Father William," the young man said,
"And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head --
Do you think, at your age, it is right?

"In my youth," Father William replied to his son,
"I feared it might injure the brain;
But, now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
Why, I do it again and again."

Certainly. If you can save a pulp mill production manager 1% or a bit more in costs, you will be a hero, and he will expect you to keep coming back and examining the mill processes. Job security.

 

[lendav_rott]

Never do more at work than needed, not to be a damn showoff. Do what you have to and all good. For those, whose job it is to save someone's money, never save more than the average statistics show, otherwise you're digging your own grave :D

We asked the guy giving us training on project management how he got into it. He told us he used to be technical manager for a company that made huge volumes of some small widget, slightly customised on each run. There was something critically wrong with their processes, and a large number of batches were coming out defective. Our guy went to the MD and sketched out how he could trace and debug their processes and find out where the mess up was happening. The MD told him he was paid to be a technical manager and, if he wanted to carry on being one, he should shut up and get on with it. He shut up and started job hunting.

 

[AlephZero]

The more experience of project managers you have, the more you will see the MD was betting with the odds in getting rid of a wannabe

 

[lisab]

Outlook good.

 

[zoobyshoe]

At first I thought he said, "We make it out of fricken' mortar."
