MITCH (2:08pm) So tell me about her TINO (2:08pm) Hopefully this girl isnt like eliza. MITCH (2:09pm) Eliza? TINO (2:09pm) The 26.year old psycho. We had some communication problems you could say. But she started me with this texting stuff. MITCH (2:11pm) Yeah we have all had so crazy girls -Sunday- TINO (12:35pm) On a scale of one to ten, ten being very and one being not at all, how firm is your handshake? MITCH (12:36pm) 8 TINO (12:36pm) Mmm hmm. Ill put down a 7. See, my contract is almost up. May have to find something else. Gotta think of interview questions they might ask. (12:37pm) Such as... are you what they call a 'team player'? MITCH (12:47pm) yeah i play rugby so i have to be TINO (12:47pm) Ah yes, the leviathan. Would you put honesty before appearance, appearance after enthusiasm, or enthusiasm next to sense of humor? MITCH (12:52pm) Enthusiasm next to a sense of humor TINO (12:52pm) Ok. On a scale of one to one hundred, whats the value of your personal brand? MITCH (12:54pm) i would say about 85 TINO (12:54pm) Buck up. Youre just undervalued. Last question. What do you put in the toaster? MITCH (12:55pm) bread TINO (12:55pm) Looks like youre a first-rate hire. You got the job! First task is to google 'oil rig jobs.' Let me know when youre there. MITCH (12:56pm) Ok there TINO (12:56pm) This is the kind of job description I like: Works independently under general supervision, requiring normal guidance and review. (12:57pm) Typically does not have budgetary responsibility. Provides some technical guidance and work direction to field staff. Handles special projects, as assigned. MITCH (12:57pm) Yeah me too TINO (12:58pm) Great. Now go get me something like that. Bye for now! MITCH (12:58pm) Yeah -Monday- TINO (2:21pm) Hey Mitch whats up. I cant get out of bed this morning; PAIN. That rigging job in india is catching up to me with a vengeance. (2:23pm) Built a massive building for tiny parts. Semi-conductor facility. Theres a certain satisfaction in that. What do you do for work anyway? MITCH (2:27pm) factory work TINO (2:27pm) Are you good at it? Like an expert? MITCH (2:28pm) Nahh just a summer job TINO (2:28pm) Grab some object nearby, what is it? MITCH (2:32pm) A can of pop TINO (2:32pm) Guy called di staso says that if youre an expert you can see your work in any object. Look at that pop, am I right? MITCH (2:34pm) Yeah TINO (2:34pm) Ok, lets not get carried away. But you get what I mean. Ive got the icy hot right here and its pretty straightforward. Definitely pulled something. MITCH (3:01pm) Think you should see a doctor? TINO (3:01pm) You want the long story or the short story? MITCH (3:02pm) Both lol TINO (3:02pm) Working Load Limit is defined as max mass or force a product is authorized to support in general service when pull is applied in-line, unless noted otherwise (3:03pm) i.e. the WLL of a component is specified by the manufacturer. (3:04pm) If you have a 3t sling hook on a single-leg wire rope or chain sling in a general use application, it retains its inherent WLL of 3t as its max load. MITCH (3:04pm) WLL? TINO (3:05pm) However, if a two-leg sling consists of two such legs, the WLL for the sling hook in such a configuration is (1.73 x 3 t) / 2 = 2.6 t. MITCH (3:08pm) I have no idea what your talking about -Thursday- TINO (1:06pm) Mitch. Im late. Just came in to ohio- I dont know this part of town. Foreman sent me a txt, but this thing ran out of memory, so I did delete... (1:08pm) Point is, im lost. Not worried though, these things work out. But I need your help. Ok, under the overpass or around the park? MITCH (1:43pm) Around the park TINO (1:43pm) Not many trees here, mostly baseball fields. Would you go walk by the Office Depot or or past the XXX adult video store? MITCH (1:45pm) XXX adult store TINO (1:45pm) I knew you were going to say that. Sicko. Ok, past the graffiti or toward the ATM? MITCH (1:47pm) ATM TINO (1:47pm) Looks like its out of order. Think I should go follow the group of people or go where they arent? MITCH (1:48pm) Where they arnt TINO (1:48pm) Going to follow. These guys are going too slow. Think I should go past the dollar store or toward the big public art thingy? MITCH (1:49pm) Public art thingy TINO (1:49pm) Ok. I'm sure it's worth its weight in gold. Would you go follow the sound of music or follow the fire truck? MITCH (1:50pm) Fire trucks TINO (1:50pm) Doesnt have its siren on, probably just getting food. Good idea. Ok, nice. Theres my site. See? Works every time.

Like how you had 25 characters in that message. You txt normal, QWERTY or T9? MITCH (2:55pm) T9 TINO (2:55pm) So 25 max key presses, times 6 muscles of the thumb(s) involved, like the flexor pollicis brevis, and four nerves. Do you use a light pressure or heavy? MITCH (2:57pm) light TINO (2:57pm) You just took 74 seconds to respond, so we're talking 4.89 neural signals/sec per second on your part. (2:59pm) If you were a factory youd get an efficiency rating of 0.11/averg. Notice how you do other basic tasks. Fast or slow? Dont text me now. Itll take too long :-) -Saturday- TINO (12:16pm) hy Mitch, I just lost my tmpr. I got frustrat and brok my phon. -Sunday- TINO (2:00am) Hey Mitch. Think. If you slipped and a friend caught your safety rope, the only thing between you and a 70 story fall, who would you want it to be? (2:00pm) Ok, nevermind. Ill see ya, Mitch. Off to a job in chongqing, china! ALWAYS keep moving. Most peoples problem is getting stuck.
