I was emailing my friend about how much I hate my job, but clicked the wrong button - ended up in the inbox of my manager

Still working here and hating it

I did that as well lol.. soon as i realised i ran over to him and im like i accidently sent an email to you which was meant to go to a friend of mine do you mind deleting it? lucky he was logged out at the time and he's like yeah no worries.

when i was a kid i went to the bank with my old man... he was doing business banking (family business) and dropped like $8k (i didn't see him drop it) but saw a couple pick it up and walk out of the bank... when we got served, he realised the money was missing and had no idea what had happened... i told him i saw someone walk out of the bank after picking up a lot of money off the ground but we never found them...

that's about as big a loss that i've caused...

when I was 15 I worked at a department store for a little while, serving customers, taking out rubbish and that kinda stuff. One day the elevator was out of order so I decided to take the big wheely bin of rubbish down the escalator. As soon as I got on, the bin slipped off and went down at a million miles an hour, nearly knocking a woman over and the rubbish got all tangled in the escalator motor, the emergency cut off didn't work and so the motor burnt out. Something about a $6k bill was mentioned, though it was such a pov shop they never got it fixed and closed down a year later. Probably my fault, the woman was pretty traumatised and may have sued.

All because they didn't fix the elevator.

some funny as sh!t in here! laughed a lot! some of mine arent quite as bad as some of the other on here...

I work for my families freight company which carts big machinery and farm/mining equipment across the nation, i was driving a 20ton fork loading a 13odd ton impact roller onto a truck, it somehow slipped off the end and onto the trailer bending it then kept sliding onto the ground... nearly killing the d!ckhead who was helping me, i kept telling him to get outta the way coz anything can happen, lucky he moved when he did!! bent trailer and damaged the roller... both are worth a fair bit

i sometimes to escorting too!( no not that sort), driving a chase vehicle to guide trucks with super wide loads, i T-boned some p plater girl in a camry who came across the intersection in front of me whilst i was escorting a truck through (even tho she had 'right of way' we had stopped all the traffic, flashing lights etc etc)... apparently we are being sued for that.. no one is really sure who's fault it was..

best one would have to be drifting the managers work runabout (vz monaro) right in front of him.. not happy!! but we all laugh about it now which is good!

uhhh don't really have any major stuff ups... but in my current job while redoing the toyota website when we were putting together the design preview I changed all the aurions with chasers and camry's with verossas... somehow some of them slipped thru the net of final signoff... I got a huffy email a while after the site went live from my boss saying "please remove the non australian toyota cars from the site."

Didn't cost the company a cent, but I'm sure some boss at toyota had a seizure after seeing parallel imports on their site.

lol @ stolen_s15

you only ever make that mistake once..

My philosophy now is that I don't send anything to anyone unless I'm prepared for the wrong person to eventually see it too!

Oh I just thought of something.. when I was 14 I worked at a butchers in Sydney.. we used to slice up deli meats as well.. even though I'd been there for about a year.. one Saturday morning I was slicing something up for a customer and took off a good chunk of my thumb... thumb = invaluable! :\ I was earning about $5 an hour...

I don't think you can tell though... sure seemed alot worse at the time!

A mate's brother was working for him and loaded a 30tonne excavator onto a low-loader semi.

Swung the boom as he was loading and flipped it onto his brother's brandd new Landcruiser Sahara. Total write-off!

Same guy left a nightclub with me at 4am in the City. Got a cab straight to the farm job (pissed) and was driving the same excavator and flipped it on it's side. Fell asleep and the farmer woke him up 3hrs later.

There's 7 boys and I could go on forever about this family and their f@$kups!

i used to work driving trams and i derailed the tram, ass end came off the tracks as i was entering into the shed at work and didnt know the ass end was off the tracks (as i was going like 6km/h) till the ass end really kicked out and hit the shed wall (Bricks) and hit air compressor line for the tram mechanics in the shed and cleaned up the fire hose reel, and the fence. lol total damage cost was bout $60000 to get tram repaired and painted, new shed wall, air compressor line fire hose reel, new fence and new bitumen and tracks lol ( and yes i still had my job afterwards as the investigated it and found out it was due to the tracks being in poor condition)phew!!! lol

Lesson - Never try to drift a tram - you have no steering wheel - hahahaha

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
