    One time I worked at a factory on a frame outsourced by ESTEC(tuesday = spaceday).This frame had to rotate 180 deg. I was halfway and saw it was'nt going to work the way they planned it. I called my boss, he did not see it, he called his boss, he did not see it. I told them I was right and please call the engineer. He came and saw the thing for real the first time and saw it would'nt work. He did new drawings, I did the restore and that's it. It's called responsibility and cooperation.

    Carel,

    I wonder if your self described 'toolmaker' buddies ever run into the same situation? In other words, they had to fix a problem that was not a direct result of them doing or planning something wrong, they just have to resolve the issue...

    ROFLMAO, did you not just gripe about them bragging about something "heroic" they did, yet two posts later, I read the word "I" five times including, "I told them I was right"?? (and now the whole world I might add!! ) I find this amusing myself... I heard once, "People like yourself, get on your nerves the quickest." :boxing: Might want to think that over bro~
