    Don’t know about “mumbles” but I do know about not having a clue about being a DM.

    Can’t wait to get the courtesy phone call from number 15 introducing themself to me as my new DM. I have this down to a science. First thing I say will be first name only, in my 8 years and now my 15th DM, it’s going to take a while for both of us to get on the same page, unfortunately, based on my experience, this won’t last for you, and that my friend, is why I don’t enter names of individuals into my contacts. I write names in a notebook, in pencil.

    Anyone else using the new Abilene App that’s replacing the QC? I’ve had it for a week, gone through issues, walked through set up and proper usage, and now my previous DM that had all the answers about it is history.

    I use to keep it on,until a couple years ago,I was repowering a 'hot' load,and Cole called me in the middle of the night a couple hours before my break was up.

    Hey man just wanted to make sure your up,I said I am now.

    Since than it goes to silent mode,if it's important,they can get me between the hashes.
     
    MidWest_MacDaddy, Bumper and JohnBoy Thank this.

    And I thought our place was bad. In almost 9 years, I've had 10 shipping dept. managers, and 5 shipping leads. Each one comes in full of p1ss and vinegar, going to make meaningful change, etc. Until they run into the brick wall called upper management.....

    Exactly. Everytime a new one shows up in my life I take a deep yawn, listen to how they’re going to reinvent the wheel, and just sit back and watch the antics.

    Hope they're planning on buying me a smartphone if they want me to run an app.

    I got an old fashioned flip phone. It don't run apps. Works like a champ for taking phone calls though, which is all I really want my phone to do.
     
    TokyoJoe, jarhead0311, BFL123 and 4 others Thank this.
