Your company is missing out on a missed opportunity.

They're double-missed?

My boss wanted our section/branch to have a really nice NIST-traceable temperature probe.

So our lab supervisor was looking at one about $3k.

But no. The boss wanted something even more expensive. $8800 for a super holey moley temeprature probe that never has to be sent in for calibration/certification (as almost everything else does).

And then there had to be a $5000 Ohm meter in order to READ what the $8800 temp probe was sending out. And then there's the $250 machined Al or Cu "bore" to hold said temperature probe inside another already-owned $5k machine. And then there's the $500 to upgrade our heavy marble table to isolate minute vibrations.

All of that when a $3k device would suffice.

And then there's the $80k worth of flow meter certification equipment we have...that's required to be sent in every 2 years for calibration/certification at a cost of $5k/instance...

and apparently my fingers don't work as well as my brain. Or verse-vica.

Look at the bright side. At least we know why fat lesbians have less sex......

No big ol green sign any more

That makes Slick and I sad.

Slick and my Ma came up with that catch phrase right before the first TV commercial for that place.
