My stupid collegues…

Filed under: Theories of life

How is it that every time I sit down to make a serious post on some website during my lunch, some "dude" called HAL comes and pesters me…

He comes with expressions like this: "Javel, e du løyen?" "Yes, well are you funny"?

"Jeg kan en sang som går deg på nervene", "I know a song that makes you go nuts…" and he repeats it like 145000 times….

"What’s the deal with the law of Arcimedes? When you submerge an object in water it repels an amout of water similar to its own mass"…. but not this guy… he sais: "When I submerge my body in any body of water……………the phone rings…."

 

Ok, here’s my therory of the day:

"In the beginning there was only darkness, the Lord arrived, he said: "Let there be light!" And it started burning everywhere…

The day today.

Now why is it that every time some plans to go to bed early they end up doing the exact opposite. Now I knew I was going to work this morning, but none the less I just forget that…

Ok, early up, around 05.50. I actually had time to prepare real breakfast this morning, not some halvwitted cereal stuff. Arriving at work in the normal matter, getting into work clothes, standard sweater and a pair of working pants with a hole in the groin… I got new pants now…

The entire day is spent with the extremely "fun" task of final assembly of a core major module for a CFM56-3C egnine. This should normally take a total of 2 days. I only had what we call the front stators, which should take about half a day……..But no… Most small parts like bolts for split flanges and brackets are missing (Damn you people who borrow parts from other engines…. especially my engines!!). The problems with missing parts turns out to get fixed by 01.00 PM…only problem now is the fact that this job should be finished by 03.00.

Anyway, after some "speedy" building thanks to me and my "little" helpers the job is finished, I even manage to make a runout check of the rotor before I leave.

In short words… this was a fast summary of my workday…

Theory of the sandwich

Ok this has bothered me for a few years…

How is it that everytime you drop anything on the floor, especially a sandwich with some gooey stuff on, it always drops with the sticky side down?

After much consideration I come to this theory, "The theory dropping stuff"

Ok, I’m pretty sure that when you drop something like a sandwich on the floor there are many variables that contribute to the outcome, these variables are defines as this:

Height of the dropper

The value of the carpet or surface the object falls towards

Stickyness of the topping

The scale of work it involves in point from 1-10 to remore the stain

Your level of irritation or agitation on a level from 1-10

Your annual income

Your luck on a scale from 1-100

By adding all these variables together in some way, I’m sure that you will eventually come forth to a sertain percentage  value of how high the possebility is that you will drop the sandwich with the top side down. I’ll get back with a more specific explanation later…

The world is a great place…

‘Ello everyone and welcome to my blog, as a first post I’m not sure what to write.

Sitting here in my house a late Saturday evening enjoing some beer and watching some movies because the hangover from last night was still present, I come realize that noone really knows that much about my ideas of the world.

Anyway, drop by my site once in a while, and I might just come with some ideas…
