Jim Warman Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 In our shop, we set up internet radio... Our station of choice is an Edmonton station.... the Bear 100.3. Each weekday, during the afternoon they have the "Yukon Yap...". Clicky is what they played a couple of days ago.... and it reminded me so much of some of our customers and most of the people on a public forum.

DwayneGorniak Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 i pipe in Sirius satellite through my laptop all the time. I have an Fm transmitter that plugs into my usb port and all three radios in the shop pick it up. three techs on hollidays for the next two weeks so we're gonna listen to Hair nation for two weaks straight. Yeah Twisted sister Baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Jim, I recently set up an old tuner and speakers in the top of my toolbox. I am using an on-line music service as well. It does not matter what is playing. I turn it up just enough to drown out the constant rantings and juvenile acts that come from the shop asshole. Similar to the Yukon Yap... but childish, vulgar, antagonizing and it never stops! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/banghead.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 I'm top heavy in apprentices, right now... I am lucky we are listening to the station we have.... It could be much worse... As for the "antics".... My DP is trying to "knacker" me citing my need to retain "credibility".... WTF is that? If I see too much "visiting", I speak up. The scariest thing is to realize that two apprentices have been helping each other for 15 minutes or more.... what are they busy trying to hide? Me? I "explode" on occasion - it don't last long... it is to the point... and I harbour no ill feelings after the deed is done. The reasons are simple.... you don't lie to me - you don't dare expect my customer to accept shit - you don't dare "not" learn from your mistakes (we all make them). Even though we are having a real time trying to attract techs, the shop asshole is expendable.... (we have more than one). I simply let them know that if anyone in my shop is going to be an asshole... it is going to be ME!!!! My DP doesn't need to agree with me.... all he needs to do is look at our CSI and our production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastendpowerstroke Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I sorta hooked on Sat radio I have no use for 99% of mindless censored broadcast radio, so I got a $30 Sirius radio (car mount) with a $0 12V transformer and the antenna on a little bracket out side played through a $1 Sony boom box I got at a police property auction in in 1996 Me and the guy next to me split the subscription cost.
