I had 6 machines down yesterday, when I left I was waiting for quotes for parts on 2 machines and parts for 1. THe other machines I was getting no response from the suppliers.

All machines are "hot"

For the quotes, everyone was is claiming 3 to 6 weeks and 9-12 weeks for the other.

1 of the machines that I thought would be online last night, my guy busted a fitting, so still down today.

1 machine released to production last night, the operator somehow busted an element, so machine remained down this morning.,

Part arrived, I have some machining to be done, hopefully will get the machine on line by tomorrow noon..

I do love my job, and I normally perform best while being pushed.. Today.. I am being pushed..

Pat that does sound stressful. Hopefully there is an end in sight for you. Why does stuff always have to happen in groups?

No secret, just applied for a really perfect "for my life and goals right now" type job, and got it. Think I told you about it before, cant remember though.

Either way Im pumped about it, I can carpool into town, my hours are generally set 8:30-4:30, and that will give me PLENTY of time for my night classes and studying!

You have a terrible memory. We talked about this in detail...and I'm happy you got it. I get to talk to you less, but I guess I can deal with that.
