One of those days

[GMES]

Only just walked in , what a bloody day i have been run ragged all day, then i get a call at 2pm from one of my customer's saying they have a problem with their large grinder.
Apparently they had sent the work head away to be repaired! new bearings and a general overhauland. To save ringing me to disconnect the Motor, the Machine operator took it upon himself to disconnect and reconnect the motor, everthing was going great until he switched it on at the panel.
I get there start checking the circuit, take off the terminal cover to find he had wired 3 phases across the start point[/B totally knackering the 2.2kw 3 phase inverter. Plantpot!
so new inverter set all parameters job done, why do people who don't know what they are doing attempt these things.
Anyway just got home, so looks like being a takeaway.

look at it this way mate,....their stupidity netted you an earner and a take-away...

enjoy !

At least it ended good. Takeaway is always a good way to end a s**t day!!!

 

[GMES]

But i don't think the operator will be enjoying a takeaway, due to the fact that as i was packing my tool's away the MD walked in having just drove from Bradford to sheffield when he heard what had happened, also they are 2 weeks behind with an order for Rolls Royce that can only be done on that machine oops!

Hate days like that! You're looking forward to getting home at a reasonable time and then that call comes! Lol. At least you got it sorted.
More to the point.... Indian or Chinese?

Indian Mate and i've eaten it already yum yum

And guess who's earned a stack of brownie points and is going to get called for all future work at this manufacturing plant!! Well worth the late takeaway!!

Though an Indian would have been my very last choice, a Chinese every time for me...lol!!

Why am I not surprised by that?

But as a matter of interest, are there any Indian takeaways in China - or come to think of it, any Chinese takeaways in India???

I'm going to stop now - I'm giving myself a headache.

Or do they all go out for an English? Takeaway roast beef & Yorkshire puds anyone?

Well I usually do all their work anywy, but this time i think the operator was trying to win some points by saying he could do it. In his own words ( how hard can it be ) but like i said to him nothing is hard if you know what your doing.

although of course in china i presume they dont call them chinese takeaways just takeaways! . I can't imagine a chinese person saying to another shall we have a chinese, i would guess he would just say shall we have some food.
