What does that even mean ?
Significantly uptight.

That had to have been stressful. I don't think most people realize the forces that those tires have to withstand on ovals. Probably didn't help with drivers like Tony Stewart voicing their displeasure so loudly and so publicly when things did go wrong.Retired now. Worked in the race tire industry, quality control work. Stressful because I was always worried about the tires during races, and now, retired, I don't even watch the races anymore.
So many stories, but one of the big stressers was teams under inflating tires against the spec. That, and they would run more camber then recommended...smh... if you ain't cheatin' you ain't racin'?That had to have been stressful.

Congratulations!I GOT THE FAWKIN JOB

Hell yeah man! That's awesome.I GOT THE FAWKIN JOB
I designed the cross shaft couplings in the first 4 original bell/boeing v22 tilt rotors. They ended up not going with our company for production though. That was quite the project.
Designed the main drive shaft couplings for a few subs.
Those projects were years ago though. Right now I'm working on high speed couplings for wind turbines.
Do what's best for you.On Friday, I accepted a job and turned in my two weeks to my current employer. This job is a 35ish% pay cut from what I make now. I took it because it gives me great experience in the new field I’ve shifted my concentration to.
Yesterday, I got a call from someone that has me on a short list for a different job that pays more than double what I’d make at the new job. It isn’t in the new field but is still an incredibly intriguing job with the ability to positively impact countless lives.
So my question: have you ever reneged after accepting a job offer? Or, have you ever hired someone and then had them renege after accepting? I don’t want to burn any bridges. I’m not sold on the more lucrative opportunity until I’ve had a chance to sit down and discuss the position. But the conversation with the person that called was essentially that the job was mine if I wanted it.
Just curious if anyone has had a similar situation happen to them/any advice from those with experience.
