Uhhhh I'm not sure how much Nortel would like that. I could probably
get away with punching a set or two but going into mass production would
probably look a little suspicious. I figure the first few would go like
this...
My Manager: So Ryan what are you guys building today?
Me: uhhh they're retaining braces for the ISDN shelf assmbly on the
SNZY (pronounced sneezey, like the dwarf) SuperNode Frame
My Manager: good, very well then, snap some digital pictures once you
get them mounted in the frame
Me: umm ok
I also think they might catch on to me when I back up my Explorer to the
load dock to pick up some "scrap" aluminum that's been powder coated.
If I did it legally like with a PO and stuff I would have to charge like
700 bucks each or something like that. It takes a bit of moola to get
the ole Trumph Minimatic 1000 punching machine in action. The labor
costs alone are astronomical! :p
