One Of Those Days

Today has been another one of those days when absolutely everything that could go wrong did go wrong.  Every single order I got had something wrong with it.  Every. Single. One. 

And I'm not talking about Man, this is annoying wrong.  I'm talking shut down production and get it all re-done wrong.  Heck, even the last order I got -- which was a very simple assembly -- had one of the adapter tubes bent wrong.  

You would think if they were doing their first piece inspections like they're supposed to, they'd have caught that.  But no....apparently that whole "If you don't do a first piece inspection, you'll get a write up" doesn't include tubing.  It gets very frustrating and stressful.  

The worst part is knowing that management considers your department low priority, so you know they aren't going to do anything about it. 

OK, now that I've had my whinge for the day, let's talk about....my dadgum garden!


Just look at how much my tomatoes are growing. 


Even this little guy is quite perked up just since yesterday. 


It won't be long before I can put its regular tomato cage around it. 


Not to be left out, my pepper bed is doing very well, too.  


I'm even getting peppers!  Sweet banana peppers, 


and cayenne peppers. 


 I didn't do too much work out in the garden this evening, mainly because it's supposed to rain tonight and off and on for the next few days.  We sure could use it.  It won't be enough to completely relieve the drought, but every little bit helps. 

By the way, I'm thinking about replacing my little dead rosemary cutting with some thyme, so I can have sage, rosemary, and thyme.  

OK, OK, I'll stop now...
