Oh ouch...

V.

Yep...

Your name is Kris?

I am also a Kris with a K

It's short for Kristine.

I work all day dealing with broke shit just like this... I come home and turn on my furry por...er art site and instead I see more broke shit.

Sucks to be you... I guess.

I work in IT.
This problem is in no way unique to truck drivers.

"Hey Red, I can't open PDF files."
"Okay, I'm setting up a Webex meeting for the CFO right now, please put in a ticket and I'll get to it right as soon as I'm done, or maybe Blue will pick it up if he's not busy and you'll be done quicker.."
"It's an emergency. There's finance info I need in this document."
"That's cool. CC your supervisor and I'll personally make sure they understand the situation is technical in nature and not your fault."
"No, you don't understand, I'm overdue."
"Okay, how overdue are you?"
"Two weeks."
"You haven't been able to open PDF files for two weeks and you're just now telling me?"
"Well, actually, it hasn't worked for about six months. And it's really serious. Nobody can get anything done."
"Wait, 'nobody'? How many people are having this issue?"
"The entire accounts receivable department."
"And not a one of you thought it might be a good idea to tell IT... Oh, I dunnow... Five and a half months ago?"
"Yeah."
"You realize the CFO is in a presentation with the board of directors, and if I have to interrupt helping her with that as an excuse, we're *both* losing our jobs, right?"
"Oh, Well, when you put it that way, it can wait until the meeting is finished."

Hehe a friend worked in IT for some 40 years with two different phone companies. He was use to getting stuff like this

Oh geez, this is true in so many professions too XP

Can be.

Oooohhhh... That's bad. That's like replacing the major dent on the rear, Right quarter fender panel on my '97 Toyota Carolla Bad.

More than a dent... if this piller let's go part of the load in the truck is dumped over the side of the truck. And if it's a load of rocks and boulders...

That... is an Olympic-sized ouchie.

Not really... it's about ten inches front to back. It's the up and down movement of the crack that worries me because on top of the gate pillars is where the tailgate hinges are and the have to be a set distance for the gate to fit on the box.

I've got some paint matched gorilla tape, fix that right up!

Hehe... not.
