  1. Pete, cant blame the dude. you’re a gullible easy MARK. he’ll pay you back the 200 real fast cause he setting you up for the bigger score – ie borrowing 10k which he wont repay

  2. As someone constantly complaining about how we run manufacturing offshore, today I’ve just had about enuf of American manufacturing:

    Early last week, eight plate frame heat exchangers delivered to the largest building complex in Manhattan, had mis-drilled intake pipe. We were asked to make adapters.

    Late last week, discovered that an item ordered by us for export, in millimeters, was incorrectly converted to inches by mfgr. We now have to get it back from overseas and replace.

    Today, four large motors, 150hp, 2500 lbs each, that we shipped to a building as part of a LEED upgrade, had incorrect shafts. Motors have to be returned and re-built, fortunatly this was discovered on loading dock.

    I’ll have to check and see how many of these were in union shops.

  3. I can’t believe 1 of my coworkers just asked to borrow $200 from me. Says he only has $50 until next payday.(the 29th). He has borrowed like $20 a couple times.
    Really made me uncomfortable. Besides he has been thru bankruptcy(divorce/child support) and claims being bi-polar (obvious emotional problems). But he smokes cigs and insists on taking LIRR from eastern queens rather than longer but cheaper subway, etc.
