It is great to hear of someone taking pride in their work AND an employer that appreciates it.
I can go back to work!

Wrecked one of my most beautiful tools 15 minutes into my shift today.
Ended up being able to fix it enough for now but it is gonna cost around $700 to fix properly.
Management was kind of pissed but my boss has my back.
Yes, my occasional mistakes can be rather costly, but my work makes them lots and lots of money.
Management just doesn't understand the cost involved with CNC machining or how a machine shop works.
I am pretty lucky to have my boss. I love my job, but I would not if my supervisor took the same approach to my job as management.
Fucking Sandvik tooling is beautiful too. That bore head was untouched (other than changing inserts) for about 20 months without varying more than .002".
MONEY!!!
I love when shit is dead nuts nominal.
It is all easy when you are good.

That sucks, Howcho.
I forgot to add earlier that I am feeling really well.
The tingling in my arm and hand seems to be less frequent, and certainly less intense.
It seems that the physical therapy and nerve meds may be helping. I just hope I don't run into any setbacks.

Yes!
I am done with pyhsical therapy!
They nearly tore my head off. She meant to put 20 pounds of pull on my neck when another, more experienced staff member just happened to walk in.
She MOVED THE DECIMAL!!!!
Had it set to 200 pounds and ready to hit go.
I almost lost my head.
I know from experience at work BAD THINGS happen when you MOVE THE DECIMAL!!!
Speaking of work, it has been going GREAT!
I got a substantial raise and a bonus too, just for busting my ass to get back to work.
Days has it's drawbacks, bu things are going well.
But today....
...this motherfucker shined a laser right into my eye!
That shit hurt, and my eye felt fucked up for at least a half hour.
I said "OW!" then looked over and saw dude smirking with s red dot in his hand.
As I grabbed my eye I said, "Fucking asshole! That shit hurt!" as he innocently walked away.
I am still really really pissed off about this.
That motherfucker assaulted me with an object from afar at WORK!
There is no other way I can look at it. I know he didn't mean it, but that got me in the EYE!
I am so pissed. I don't want an apology, I just don't want any junior high style fucking around bullshit.
I am there to get shit done and make money, not to get poked in the eye with a laser.
It may take me awhile to cool off.
I think I should talk to asshole laser man and make him pay for my nexy batch of apfelwein.
(and he won't get any of it)
Should I stab him???

Ok, it has been a couple of weeks.
As far as the laser in my eye incident, that will be settled at some point in the future when I catch up with this person somewhere around (small) town and...........
......sucker punch him in the eye!!!
Yes! That is indeed my plan. I have thought it over and over and discussed it with dear friends that know this person.
Turns out that he beats his woman and sucker punched my friend's brother and ran off.
I'm not gonna run off.......but I will wait.
Summer. My knuckles bust and swell like motherfuckers in the cold.
I think my plan has JUSTICE all over it and dripping off into puddles.
Back to work:
Work is still awesome but I think getting my shift back soon is even more in doubt.
I have taken so much manual work and put it onto my machine that I have forced my guys on manuals to slow WAY down. They are actually still doing some fo the work I had moved over and "stealing my work" in a sense, but I can feel for those guys. I had big SLOW days (on orders from boss) last summer but I had "my shift".
2 other people to work with, my stereo as loud as I wanted playing what I wanted, yeah, more breaks than usual.
Now instead of audiobooks and progressive rock played by very talented musicians, I have to hear the only radio station that actualy comes in there from everyone else's radios and it is top 40 crap.
Sounds like I work with a bunch of 11 year old girls.
edit:
But anyway. High fives all around! You guys were great to vent to in my time of no work and much pain.
I feel better than I have since summer!!!

Wow, such a change to now since my last post.
Well for one, I did have the choice of getting my shift back or staying on days. I chose days.
Yeah, I still miss by books and rocking out (I still do on overtime), but my day shift coworkers are way too good to me and spoil me badly with unprompted help. But now my boss is going to have to hire someone who can do what I did by him/herself. That means I am going to train someone. It has been awhile, and I have never trained anyone for a job that I gave a shit about. (with one exception)
Working days means I can maybe get another parrot sometime. I still think "Pablo Escobird" is an awesome parrot name. (I think "Isabella" has good ring for hen parrot name)
I love birds! Dr. Maturin loves birds! (he is far cooler than I am though) "Isabella Maturin" is a good name for a girl parrotlet.
