I think you are right - he needs his meds! I worked as a contract
employee for 11 years after I was promised I would go direct when the
census "opened up", yeah, right, when it opened up my POS boss
supported the hiring of a outsider who had political backing. I was
never the same after that. "Bad Management" sums it up nicely. They
brought new people in the VP level and they brought all of their people
with them and on and on - making a lot of enemies and upset workers. But
it's typical everywhere IMO. Unfortunately. You're right, there are
few ways to change things --
I came down with the nerve disease a few years after all that and went
out on disability. I applied to Soc Sec shortly after and it went thru
without any problems. So I was lucky there.
I did a search for 30mm impact sockets/1/2 drive and there are many for
less that $20. There seems to be plenty out there. I don't need a
super high quality socket since I likely won't use it very much, but I
don't want one that will break. Luckily I have both air and electric
impact wrenches and I'm pretty sure either will break the 200-240nM
loose. My next door neighbor passed away a few years ago and before he
died he gave me his lifetime collection of tools - at least the ones his
sons didn't want. Fortunately, they weren't big on working w/their hands
so I got lucky. got a big collection of drills & taps.
Glad your R.O.M is improving, that's really important. I had my knee up
to 117 deg flexion but when I got the clot and stopped exercising I lost
much of it. The better the ROM the better the daily life is - even
little things like getting in/out of a car.
Take care --

Thanks for the thoughts Larry. Work sucks, I'm not sure what to do about it as
the Resourse Leader appears to be off his meds -- I'm looking fo rsomething
else, need health insurance for 2 1/2 more years. What can you say about
someone who tell obvious lies that are provably false and goes into a rage when
you prove him wrong? Root cause is bad management, as most of these
situations are, and I don't see any way to fix it short of leaving the job
after 18 years. Being a contract employee from an outside company doesn't help
any.
I broke the fibula (the other calf bone) about two inches below the knee, so
I'm OK as far as the knee goes. Full range of motion is slowly returning, and
for the first time since Dec 29th 2016, I didn't have significant swelling in
my leg yesterday.
I will check on the socket, I'm in the same boat with my Golf, it needs a new
axle, which I have, but it's also a 12 pt nut. My brother has something that
worked on the Benz when I did an unneeded wheel bearing replacement at couple
years ago, I'll see what it is and if it's a 12 pt where to get it.
