 More snow on the way...So Bearcat, do you plow mainly in the northern/western metro? Looks like St. Cloud could miss out on this one. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/mpx/ I would be more than happy if we missed out on the next snow. I think they (the weather service) predicted about an inch for the last one and we got about 4 inches. Not that 4 inches is necessarily a lot, more of a nuisance really, but enough to be annoying without being serious.  Cheers

I have some culture differences 8)
----------------------------------------I try fit American stuff to Norway. Everything goes well, except pdf's Originals are "weird" minibook format, size of those pages is 8 x14 inches and local print vendor cannot work with those. Original idea is that there is two pages on every pages and then with some guillotine to be cutted half.. Maybe they are lacking guillotine So I need to first print exact half of pages and there fore get another file, where there is only one page on 8.5 x 7 inches and then turn that to A4 (eurostuff).... Only problem is that there seems to be image on every page, and when Adobe needs more than 2GB, it will crash down. Joo joo, 32bit version, I know. But I'm already one week and day late so no time to fix that now.. So I need to do printing on smaller eras, something like hundred pages at time, and finally tie them together.. I working machine with two Xenon 3,2GHz processor but this still seems to take hours and hours and well hours time to do..... Luckily I have own office, I can lift legs to table and turn radio on.. Another good part is that I do not need to print those myself, I have once done it when print house was on strike. I did wear out four laserprinter out during one weekend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5m88CoGLno Accumulated Points: 36,765,288  [Edit 1 times, last edit by ultimaThule at Feb 25, 2009 3:09:29 PM] |

I am assigned to the plymouth station. My route is 394 from 100 to hwy 12 at CR 15. Looks like my weekend is screwed. After we plow it over, then we do cleanup on bridges that have walkways. Can't complain about the overtime though. We did 19 days straight in december. 12 hour shifts. That sucked with no break. Maybe if were lucky, this will be it for snow except the little crap that flies. Hurrah for getting to the top 50.

Still some cultural stuff.....
----------------------------------------Swedish has create expression Management by perkele. Perkele means s*t*n... And I think that article reflect is quite well. If I would be working on Finnish company and contractor would have this kind of problem, it would be automatically be their problem. And if they would not fix it determinably, they would loose contract. But now on this Swedish environment, situation was simply that they do not know how to handle it and how about if help them little and maybe even teach then how they can do it next time themselves. Yes of course it did cause some extra work all of us, but hey together we can make this stuff work and jaadi jaadi jaa. So this Swedish work culture is like one big family, and I really like.. There is not this kind of boundaries between peoples even when working on another companies. If I need to communicate to Finnish companies, I always need to modificate my email, so that peoples outside of our company does not ever seen possible problems on our situation (you know when one reply to all and somebody replys back to all and add somebody more). But those Swedish fellows, they really do not care, they trust each others. This trust goes on emotional/humanist layer, of course corporation secrets are always cover 8) But on Swedish culture, people can express their emotions very freely without have fear become dishonour. It is quite opponent to Finnish military style work environment.. If I work chronically long days with Swedish, those are not emotionally long days at all. I usually end up home very happily after days when I have work with Swedish or Norwegians.. Luckily most my (Finnish) work pals also respect more Swedish work culture lot more that Finnish. I would not stand that environment any more.. I have nice job, I really do  Accumulated Points: 36,765,288 |
