This one touched my funny bone

Here is another from Mr Twain

More often than not, I leave a couple intentional, albeit small, violations for some inspectors to find. These guys don't think they're doing their jobs unless they find something.

Usually a 4square covor missing, or a loose switch. Something quick & easy to fix.

All that does is make me upset that you aren't trying. I have no problem passing an installation, its when they do STUPID things like this that I get upset. After all, all you are doing is wasting me time, aren't you?

Exactly. Or be there when the inspector is.

I'm not directing it at you. It's just there a couple inspectors in my area that just have to find something. Failing that, they start inventing violations. And that's a waste of time for both of us. For the most part, the inspectors here are pretty decent folks to work with.

Although it's not required, I try to be present at every inspection I schedule.

Relax Ryan, its a made by Hallmark holiday after all.
 
OK, here's one: I was working on a retail store that Bob (Iwire) was running. He comes over and says "The worms ate into his brain" (from that Pink Floyd song??) and then continues on to where he was going.

He's quite amusing sometimes. :)

When will you guys learn? It's easier for me to sign the job card than to write a correction notice. The guys that want to write a correction notice must have nothing else to do. (forgot a smilely face here)

"Give the hardest job to the laziest man and he'll find the easiest way to do it"

We also know that fridays goes easy, you want easy day,and any tags get added to the dreaded monday.Most of the time i could care less about the inspection.My jobs are ready and to code to my best.Anything you find likely is minor and you say fix.If more than that you have helped me catch a real problem i missed.I actually enjoy seeing you,helps me to know i did it right.
 
"Can't" is not in our vocabulary.

Or

"Difficult" tasks take a little while to complete and "Impossible" tasks take a little longer.

Or

After numerous tries you don't succeed, have some dignity, realize it's above your ability and go get a beer.

He is a treasure trove, much like Winston Churchill. One from each:

"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." -- Twain

"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries." -- Churchill
 
Press On

Nothing In The World Can Take The Place Of Persistence

Talent Will Not: Nothing Is More Common Than Than Unsuccesful Men With Talent

Genius Will Not: Unrewarded Geniusis Is Almost A Proverb

Education Will Not: The World Is Full Of Educated Derelicts



Persistence And Determination Alone Are Omnipotent
 
"There is no problem so big or so complicated,that it can't be run away from"
Linus
 
"You go do what YOU THINK, you know how to do and I'll go do, what I KNOW how to do"
Pissed a few off with that one, of course it usually goes over there head for a minute till they realize what I said. :grin:
