Someone help me understand what compels a person to make all the shit we see on here? The memes and the vids. Real and satire are indistinguishable. How little self awareness must you have? WTF....

Question for senior manufacturing leaders in the group. How do you choose your vendors? I'm curious because I get many emails every day from people trying to get in the door. They're spam in my book.

I stick with who I know and operate off of references and referrals when needed. Am I out of touch?

Obviously, you're not a golfer.

About 15 yrs ago or so I was visibly worried about a last minute call to the bosses office. She asked what was wrong? I said something like Am I in trouble? Or similar.

She said, I just need you to do XYZ. "Don't flatter yourself, people are not thinking about you nearly as much as you think they are."

That really stuck with me and I'd wager I remember and use that to my advantage at least once a day.

Is it a GenX thing, a getting older (51M) or just a human thing, that I feel like my wife of 27 yrs and I have just been working our asses off, waiting and planning for shit our entire lives with no end in sight? Just one thing after another. My 22yr old son and lady are different l. Just yelling at a cloud really....

Edit: this comment better captured what I feel like:

It definitely feels like we are waiting for something and not making the most of now. Maybe this is it
