Think about those R2 Wagonaire's... Think about 'what if' Stude was still around and someone were to do that today? Well, this has 'the look'... <http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4535796076&ca tegory=98062> Jeff Rice says... >Think about those R2 Wagonaire's... >Think about 'what if' Stude was still around and someone were to do that >today? >Well, this has 'the look'... That phrase: "This awesome truck Just needs finished up!" slays me. At the plant we would be pestered by the engineers and managers as to when a repair would be completed. A legitimate estimate could bring trouble if anything unexpected delayed the job. i.e. "You said it would be done in an hour and it took you an hour, ten minutes. I told (Insert name of head guy present) that it would be running in an hour." "No, I said it would take ABOUT an hour. Didn't you listen?" "Are you trying to make me look bad?" "Hey, jackass, it's 2PM, we stayed over and still haven't had lunch yet to get this thing back on line." And further unfocused conversations followed......... Regardless of the work status we started giving estimates of "I JUST NEED TO FINISH UP." They went away happy --- thinking they knew something ---- and we went on happily working. Those open assed estimates never affected the manufacturing world at all but it did make a saner environment for those involved. An extremely handy phrase and probably still being used.  SignatureLark Parker A friend of mine was being pestered to get a drawing done by Friday. After repeated inquires, he said, "Damn it Bob, it will be done Friday even if I have to take Thursday off!" Early Friday morning the PM showed up, looked it over and was glad to see it was done. Phil said, "Nope, it isn't. I left it almost done yesterday, but I still have to put a period at the end of note three to finish it." The PNM never bothered him again.
