The Vault Chaplian has repair skills

So things this week haven’t been so good. Friday morning was no exception. I was working on assembly when around 6 or 7 in the morning the panel that operated the order screen fell apart. Either someone went to town with it or just dropped it so hard it broke the problem was the interior of the casing where the screws go in broke. To make things more difficult the connector with jack ports wired to it was pulled loose from the circuit board when it fell from the mount, and just to piss me off even further business was relentless. With what little time I had in between orders I had to figure out which way the connector plugged into the circuit board, align the jack ports with the case, remove the back of the case from the mount (which was a pain in of itself since the metal plate that attached to the mount was bent just to get snugged.), keep the ports aligned while putting both parts of the casing together, align the casing, and then use something to keep it together. At first, since I work at a restaurant, I thought of using plastic wrap. And then I thought to myself, “Dave, there’s an office to the left of you, with office supplies, which includes RUBBER BANDS.” So I undid the plastic wrap, picked two rubber bands, binded the casing together, and remounted the damn thing. And this was all while making orders at what seemed like a non-stop rate.

In any case I’m debating if I should keep Marvel Diablo on. I like the game but I’m not crazy about the MMO aspect of it if that makes sense. Got a bonus but I’m not sure what will go down let alone if this week was even worth going through to get it. Also thinking of starting new on Skyrim so I can take advantage of the the crafting system. And I finally found where the water chip is in Fallout: just right behind Harry. Damn, even September can’t help me here. Just need to find the parts and… wait… that would require… damn it…

And that is why I think a lot of people who bad mouth restaurant workers would fail miserably at restaurant work.

They would never know what it's like until they actually did the work we do.

I want to use your description of trying to fix that order screen panel in a scifi story where you're in a space ship and fixing some important screen that tells you where the aliens are inside the ship.

But why would I have plastic wrap let alone rubber bands on a space ship? But seriously go ahead.

Oh, it's like Star Wars or Firefly. There's lots of real stuff in there. Plus it'll be a comedy, so rubber-banding something together on a space ship would be a laugh.

Okay, let me know when you've posted it.

which fallout is that? the first one?

I'm playing the first one, though to be honest I've played Fallout 3 before this one. I got far in that game but there was something about it that kind of put me off. But because of it I was into the series.
