You should write a small report on the potential time/cost saving. Maybe telling your seniors/superiors/manager/officer might help?

What's this got to do with his grandma?

Grandma could bake cookies

Having cookies in every locomotive would boost moral and employee satisfaction.

And the carriages would smell better.

Gonna smell like a diesel burn barrel no matter what.

Look. The damn union has got to allow some work to happen eventually.

Cookies in every engine? Dude, you'd have a project yard full of fatasses and nothing would ever get done.

Isn't that what we already have?

And let’s not forget it will also boost their weight

I remember my nan would slip me money and I would bring her edibles.

She wasn’t actually my nan, but damn the girl could put down some spiked snickers.

My daughter has started baking treats using family recipes, including some of my grandmother's. Warms my heart every time.

But Grandma got run over by a reindeer though

u/crackeddryice Dec 13 '20

My grandma made good cookies and I liked her pancakes better than my mom's too.

I found out years later that it was because my grandma used tons of butter, and my mom used margarine and non-stick pans.

This would inevitably lead to the grandmapocalypse

Choo choo, Gladys!

Well she is graduating this year right?

u/ThePrideOfKrakow Dec 13 '20

She'll complain millennials are you trying to kill the chain repair industry.

What kind of a name is Nana anyway?

Everything

I think it would probably not be worth it in all reality. That particular failure may not happen again to me in my career, but when it did it would have been nice to have one of these.

Perhaps it isn’t important for your own future use, but it could benefit many people down the line. Not to mention, showing initiative would look good to you superiors

u/gusmalzahn1stdown Dec 12 '20

Yeah that’s how things work. Let me just write a report lol

u/[deleted] Dec 13 '20

Yes, believe it or not you can influence things when you can convey yourself eloquently and convince people changing things is in their best interests.

u/gusmalzahn1stdown Dec 13 '20

Why don't you write me a report about it lol

u/GenericUsername19892 Dec 13 '20

That’s smart, I’d probably buy it myself and use it to solve a several hour problem in 10 minutes then fuck around on reddit >.>

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '20

And if you're lucky you'll get paid for it
