So, I’m doing this temping job gig working in an office
where they deal with stuff to do with cars, trucks and mechanical type things.
Anyway, I get to deal with people dropping off and picking up said mechanical
things. I also put their orders in for their mechanical things to have whatever
mechanical things need to be done mechanically to them. No – god no – I have no
idea about cars let alone trucks. I look
blank a lot of the time and use the microphone in the office to call out to the
workshop to ask a mechanical person to come into the office – i.e – “Harry come
to the office. Mechanical things to discuss. Harry to the office.”
And there there’s all the coding to the right mechanical
area. And no, it’s not logical like – e = electrical, m = mechanical, t = tyres…you
get the drift. It’s ‘this is a flange so
it goes under G.’ Why? I dunno. A Valve replacement? It’s an E. Tyres? An O.
Okay, I know what you’re thinking ‘cause I thought it too. Tyres are round and
an O is round. Nope, that’s wrong. It’s
an O because it’s an O. “Don’t you know anything about cars, Amarinda?” Well,
yeah, of course. Mine is lime green. It has a flowery steering wheel cover and
it’s pretty damn nifty. What else is there to know?

Ahhhh. Nifty. I remember when that word was the very latest in slang...
