Glenn Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 "The oxen is slow, but the earth is patient". A line I never got to use on a boss, dang it all!

Glenn Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Think of the suicide knob or a necking knob on an older cars steering wheel. We know who the older folks are by the smile on their face, or the twinkle in their eye. The younger folks may have to look that reference up.

Nah, he just lacks practical experience. The secret to, "It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission," truism is you have to ASK for forgiveness to stay out of trouble. Here's another one. NEVER let the boss hear about a screw up from someone else first. How many of you heard this when you were younger. "Put that down it's expensive!" Frosty The Lucky.

Millhand Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I loathed for that upbringing, my father told me those stories but I was not so lucky. I was however fortunate enough to be molded by elders that learned to be frugal during the depression. A few days ago I tried to forge some of the wrought iron they left behind and it unraveled on my anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 My Father was a double E and he always said keep your left hand in your pocket so if you touched something *live* the conduction path didn't cross your heart...He also told me "Real Programmers program with a soldering iron" Of course his engineering classes included using steam tables to design steam engines and forging a screwdriver---in college no less!
