It’s a special kind of day when you get an email from a supplier telling you that you never asked for information from them.
And, their email is a reply to your email asking for the information that still has the request attached...

We make perforated panels that let air flow through them.
We make solid metal panels for stopping sound.
Today, a customer called and asked for a perforated panel, that lets air through, that would also stop sound.
"Just let the air through, not the sound with it," they said.
So, I guess I need a sound filter. Anyone got one?

I made a part for the trade show 24" too long by selecting the wrong option when I added it to the print.
I hate when I mess up.
We may be able to salvage it, but I still feel like and idiot.

I’ve got this prototype being made at an outside company. The company that
took three months to send me the prints they told me they’d have the next
day.
A month ago, I sent them my parts. They said they’d add their parts and
send it back to me in week.
Still no parts.
Today the sales guy called me.
“We should have it back to you next week,” he said. “I’m sorry it took so
long, but they had to paint the handle.”
“Jim,” I said.. “Why did it take an extra three weeks for painting the
handle.”
“Oh, that’s only one week,” he said. “The other weeks were for other
problems. This week was to let the paint dry.”
“It takes a week for the paint to dry?”
“It does if you ship it to another factory in Germany to get it painted.”
I don’t know how these folks stay in business. Get a can of paint, paint it.
Don't send it to Germany!
