Most unfair

So, my wife is getting ready for her 9 hour drive up to see her friends in Canada today. And, I am left feeling that it is very unfair.
Can’t they send a single black helicopter for her? Are the quotas on bovine parts really so high they can’t spare one for the day? We have cows down here. Pick some up on the way down and back.

Pain in the ass Chinese

Parts I designed in April, that they built in May, that were shown to our customers in June now require a mold redesign to make them run better on the molding machine.
I understand them wanting to increase yield and such, but October is when we’re going to market with this product. They had months to warn us they wanted to make changes.
Now I’m rifling through the engineering closet trying to find enough parts to make the orders we promised. The good news is we didn’t promise much. The bad news is I don’t have many parts.
