What is a good genaric terminal designation for 3-wire RTD's? Let me elaborate on why I need assistance... RTD's generally don't come with any kind of terminal designation. In my company we determine a portion of our wire markers by the terminal designation of the end device. This insures...

It would be good to learn patience and grace in dealing with difficult people now. Consider her your own personal project. Do be cautious about letting her throw you to the wolves, but if you doing well makes her look good, so be it, you still look good too. I am convinced many...

That has already been done, although not so ceremoniously. He lost; that is when I found out there was a problem. Until then, I just thought his drawings were ugly, but correct. That is when I found out it is not just aesthetics he has not grasped.

Ok, so you don't like my vocabularly. I'm sorry, I think my co-workers keep atomica in business translating my conversations. ;-) Submission simply means to follow the will of another, or do what you're told. I don't blindly do what my boss tells me to, but because I trust him not to ask...

I got asked, "what did you do to prepare for this interview?" -this was a board interview with 6 f my future superior officers I thought the obvious answer was, "I took a shower and got dressed!" -It wasn't what he was looking for, but he didn't hold it against me either. ;-) SC

sms... I can't say that every college's employment data is in error. In fact my question was, is it common that the college's data is trumped up? I can only say what I've seen, that the college I attended sold poor data to their students in an attempt to bolster specific programs. I don't...

That's a good point, bioengr82. Still, that means the data is not accurate. Thanks SC

It's all about trust. I finally learned what submission was from my boss, until then, I never understood how a woman could submit to her husband without loosing herself. If you can trust your spouse to do their part, you don't have to control everything. The same with your boss, when you...

quoted from SMS... "...I would be interested to see what your University's placment center would say their rate of engineering placement is. I bet they do not report a number of 25%." This is a little off subject, but has anyone seen a university placement center with valid information about...

I want to work for a company that more profit translates to more money in my pocket. Can someone please explain that philosophy to the owners of my company! ;) Thanks SC

That's why we spell words out most of the time. "NO" could mean; no, normally open, number, etc. Thanks SC

If he's the billet, I get to be the hammer, right? [tongue] Thanks SC

If you are writing complete sentences, then use proper punctuation. I don't think paragraph form is required, but on the same document, all written data should probably be in the same format. I was told never to use periods in abreviations on drawings. (We try to never use abreviations, but...

See, I'm beginning to think that too. However, I don't want to believe it's an unsolvable problem. There has to be a solution. They can't threaten his job and he knows it. I'll be leaving soon, and despite all the problems he causes, he's still cheeper than contract labor.

He didn't lie about his qualifications; the person who wanted him hired lied about them. Basically, a new manager wanted to replace the entire regime that had existed before he was there, that included me. He hired this guy thinking he could do the job faster and better. I belive this also...

I think you've identified the wrong problem. The problem is not a lack of education or training. The problem is apathy. As a generalization, people don't care how good a job they do. As long as the boss isn't yelling, everything is okay. If you care about the product you produce most...

We tried that; the problem is, he knows what he means. Thanks SC

He has no formal education, the only thing that distinguishes him from the shop is his shoes. (The shop has to wear steel-toed boots.) Mind you, I am not opposed to people who lack degrees. I think on the job training can offer the right people as much training as a university. The problem...

Did you go into your job for prestige, or to get something done? If you are doing it for status then you are in the wrong field. Thanks SC

I have tried that one. Our shop has been very quick to show him his errors. The guy comes back upstairs and quickly dismisses their complaints as petty whining from uneducated minions. I swear the guy is just dumb. I can take the shops advice, dismiss the ridiculous complaints, and implement...
