- NEW!

When the boss won't acknowledge that the new (thicker) Bakelite is kicking 12 kinds of dog-piss out of the mill inserts, chewing up saw blades, and murdering our drills.
When you enter a tool offset in the wrong slot and slam a tool at the maximum traverse speed of the machine. For bonus points, hurl a few fragments over the top of the safety guards.
When you hear a *CLTHUNK!*, look over and see red text on the screen. Not an alarm. Not two. Not even three. Four. Even better is when your boss spends a day and a half alternately wondering what you did to the machine and trying to fix it before finally calling in the $200/hr field tech.
When you're hung over.

Back during the first Gulf war in the early 90s, when I got laid off from 3 jobs in less than 2 years.
Now, my work doesn't really stink, but we have a handful of "dead weight" in our office who really need to straighten up or get lost.
