Found two checks today, for $45,000 each.
« on: March 22, 2010, 11:29:50 PM »

Some customer lost them in the service drive at the car dealership where I work(ed) part-time.*

After a couple calls we found the guy. He'd had a rough afternoon, but his tax refund checks (for the business he owns) had already been canceled.

Just how the HELL do you lose two checks worth $90,000?



*Today was my last day of work at the dealership. I've taken a full-time job as a stationary engineer at Washington State University.

I would have met up with Tyrone BigGums and had a $90,000 crack party.

Or two $45,000 crack parties.

I can see losing a couple of checks. Shit happens some times. When I first started working in a casino years ago there was a dude that left a bag of cash in the coffee shop booth he was sitting in. The total amount was close to $400,000. It was returned to him.

That is exactly what I was wondering!

Maybe he engineers the paper and letter heads?

largely, yes. At least, if nothing's going wrong, you sit inside a control room watching gages and making adjustments  to the controls. Oh-and drinking coffee.

Think of it as the same thing as a locomotive engineer, but without wheels on the boilers.

I used to do something similar.  You learn to appreciate the quiet time. 

The cleaning lady used to come in and say JESUCHRISTO, HOW YOU STAND EET SO QUIET IN HEER, I'D GO FUCKIN LOCO IN FIVE MINUTES!  I'd usually say "If you see me looking all excited, I probably caused a massive explosion."   And then one day, I had a massive explosion, and I didn't get all excited.  So I stopped telling them that. 

That was the day I realized I didn't give a fuck about nuthin', but I still preferred the quiet time.

The last boiler plant I worked in was so noisy it was like a jet engine sitting in the room. At 85 decibels, this one is downright silent.
