This is apparently a sandwich shop in London that cannot afford a proof-reader. Let the rage commence.

I love it.

Hilarious.  I wonder how many people a day they're going to manage to make correct them?

Had an awesome day at work today.  Got to tear around in the mud in one of our medium wheel loaders.

My first time driving a loader.  Instructions?  "This is how you shift gears.  The rest is pretty intuitive.  Have fun!"  :dance:

I can't wait until I go down to Tucson and get to drive one of our these puppies:

Where are you working these days, Hanes? Seems last thing I knew you were still in grad school.

Ya I got picked up by Cat 15 months or so ago as an agency employee*, but I'll be starting as a true Cat employee in April.  I've been using a lot of ProE and FEA software; it's pretty sweet.

*they pay a company to employ me to work for them.  Basically so they don't have to provide things like healthcare, payed time off, etc.

That's great Hanes. The project I'm working on now is a bunch of new software for Cat. We don't get to drive any of the equipment though.  :(
If one is going to be ignorant, then one may as well make a thorough and studied job of it.

Hiya buddy! 

Yeah, what the hell?  Is everybody out doing something fun that they didn't tell us about?  >:(

Well, I'm fixin' to go to work for a few hours, bah, but I have a series of meetings next week that're gonna take me out of the office for nine hours, so I need to get ahead of some stuff.

Quit your devil-worshiping ways and move to a place where it's winter in February, like Christ intended!
