And it's nifty...


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?
