See that seamless drywall job? Every museum is like that. Huge pain in the ass. You an artist? TERYL (10:35am) We've got painted white brick. Real industrial. Not an artist, i study art. TINO (10:35am) Hey. Do you text your mother with that thumb? TERYL (10:36am) Ive got a full keyboard which means i use both thumbs...but my mom doesnt get texts. TINO (10:36am) Ya gotta know how to make stuff. I like working with my hands generally. Steel. The ladies. Ha! Mostly steel. Im a rigger. (10:41am) Anyway... nice to meet you Teryl. Enough txting for now, Ill touch base tomorrow. (2:54pm) Theres nothing prettier than the sun setting over a plastics factory. The right mix of chemicals can turn the sky the most bizarre shade of impossible. Ya know? (2:56pm) God damn. I love nature and all its wonderments. I can tell you where to find your perfect dream sunset. Whats your favorite color? TERYL (4:49pm) Red. You? TINO (4:49pm) red comes from polyphenol-formaldehyde. Aint it pretty shimmering over the water? So, we have a nice red sky stripe. Next. Pink highlights or blue? TERYL (4:50pm) Georgeous! TINO (4:50pm) Alright picasso, I said pink highlights or blue, we're working with dangerous chemicals here. TERYL (4:51pm) Pink would be nice TINO (4:51pm) AH! Terephthaloyl-chloride in the sky is like uh, a little rouge on the cheek of Gods sleeping girlfriend. One more tone. The final color in your dream sunset? TERYL (4:52pm) Purple! TINO (4:52pm) purple is what we call a tertiary color. A mix. Polymethyl methacrylate will provide the perfect hue. checkin my notes and Ill point you towards your spot. (4:54pm) K. Some wine, lil' cheese and vulcanized nylon vapor and you got a dream picnic. Head to EMCO Industrial Plastics, Cedar Grove, NJ, in the fall. Pretty. TERYL (8:06pm) Im in texas and were in a tornado watch...no sunsets tonight :-( TINO (8:06pm) Met a girl last night - vanessa. Vanessaaaaah. Whaddaya think. Movie or the shore? TERYL (8:20pm) Movie. Quantum of solace comes out friday. Go to that, super sexy. TINO (8:20pm) Ya exactly. A dark room and then we have something to talk about. Do you think a christmas tale is any good? -Wednesday- TINO (12:35pm) Hey Teryl whats up. I cant get out of bed this morning; PAIN. That rigging job in india is catching up to me with a vengeance. (12:37pm) Built a massive building for tiny parts. Semi-conductor facility. Theres a certain satisfaction in that. What do you do for work anyway? TERYL (12:37pm) Sorry to hear. But India...i love it there. Im writing a paper on sexuality in the Hindu tradition for class. Rigging? Like oil? TINO (12:37pm) Are you good at it? Like an expert? TERYL (12:38pm) Im a student, so i study for a living. Pretty good...im still here. TINO (12:38pm) Lets test it. Grab some object nearby, what is it? TERYL (12:39pm) A highliter TINO (12:39pm) Guy called di staso says that if youre an expert you can see your work in any object. Look at that highliter, am I right? TERYL (12:40pm) For sure! Reading constantly, there's always a highliter in my hand. TINO (12:40pm) 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. TERYL (12:42pm) Good luck with that...i gotta go, back to my paper. TINO (12:42pm) You want the long story or the short story? TERYL (5:53pm) The long one TINO (5:53pm) 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 (5:54pm) i.e. the WLL of a component is specified by the manufacturer. (5:55pm) 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. (5:56pm) 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. (5:57pm) If the hook is to be used in a non-general application (e.g. in a mine shaft or in a hazardous situation such as a hot environment), it may be derated further. (5:58pm) You see where this is going. Ill spare you the details. TERYL (5:59pm) Haha thanks. -Thursday- TINO (12:16pm) Do you ever think about all the shit you use everday that has moving parts? -Friday- TINO (2:21pm) Hey I got this trick I can do. Just five questions and I can guess what your job is. Seriously, its this weird skill. Want to play? TERYL (2:44pm) Ya TINO (2:44pm) Ok, first some background. Are you proficient with Excel? TERYL (2:45pm) No TINO (2:45pm) Me neither. I let my accountant crunch my numbers. Have you ever had to fire a pregnant or weeping person? TERYL (2:46pm) No TINO (2:46pm) I knew you hadnt. Confirms my guess. A couple more just to be sure. Do you deal with road traffic? TERYL (2:53pm) No TINO (2:53pm) You steer clear of traffic. Great. At any point in a typical day, can you look down and see the tops of other peoples' heads? TERYL (2:56pm) Noy TINO (2:56pm) Coulda guessed this first thing. Youre obviously a Irregularities Manager. Am I right? TERYL (3:03pm) No fundraising manager TINO (3:03pm) Really? Im never wrong. Maybe you should consider a career change. TERYL (3:05pm) Ill think about it.
