Well, boys and girls. ---I think this may be a case of "be carefull what you wish for". This afternoon, about 3:00, the owner of this fledgling mining machine company proceeded (for the third time this week) to instruct me on the correct way to dimension shop drawings. I listened patiently, then proceeded to explain to him that I was dimensioning shop drawings while he was still shitting yellow, that I had worked in shops where fractional dimensions were used, in shops where decimal dimensions were used, in shops where everything was layed out by hand by a "layout man", in shops where all holes were put in on a mill or boring table, in shops where all work was done in metric, in shops where all work was done in British Imperial, 33 years on a drafting board, 2 years using Autocad, and 7 years using Solidworks 3D software and no one has ever taken issue with my dimensioning practices before!!!----I will be starting a new contract WORKING FROM MY HOME OFFICE on Monday.

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
