I was more thinking 'when you pallet wrap your coworker to his chair', or the like.

Let's see.. So far I reprofiled a French knife on the belt grinders, and started programming a rose indexer.. :mrgreen:

Then I got it handed an r&d job 45 minutes ago. :x

I generally drive my coworkers nuts by grabbing my hockey stick and gloves and practice moving a ball around my cubicle. While I have a game streamed on my tablet. And taking a client call.

This could also be a sign I don't care about my job, but meh.

I spent two hours a couple of weeks ago, removing all the hardware from one drawer of one Vidmar, lining the bottom with cut-up Manila folders to keep small screws from falling through, and then sorting and replacing the dozen or so small containers in the drawer. One down, 23 to go.
