While this is technically an equipment failure and falls into the realm of the Tuesday Curse, it’s one that I will never complain about.
Here’s a picture of Jan Michael Vincent with Walt, Michael, and Vincent, because Tuesday.
Today the unbelievable happened, and on a Tuesday no less. The same coworker who usually brings me all awful things came to me with a problem they were having on the press.
I explained to him that it wasn’t really a problem and gave him the technical reasons why he should just stick with the set of plates that he had. I even ended the conversation with, “Just go deal with it,” which is what I always want to say but never actually do.
Usually, saying something like that is a guarantee that I will be making revisions and a new set of plates, but today he went away and used the plates he had and didn’t come back for the rest of the day.
I am the victor! But just this once. I’m sure I’ve used up my allotment of Tuesday victory for the rest of the decade.

Soundtrack for a Tuesday. In fact, this should just automatically play whenever my phone rings on a Tuesday.
Assistant manager: We’re going to put this job on a different press. Don’t change a thing. Just put it on the different size plates.
Me: Are you sure you don’t need me to change the layout if it’s going on that press?
AM: Oh, right. You need to change the layout.
Me: So, don’t change a thing, except to completely redo the layout?
AM: Right. Thanks.
