Monday production date
My dealer just e-mailed me saying he received an "estimated production date" of October 24.
That's a . . . :eek: . . . Monday. Are the intial "estimated" production dates likely to hold? Should I panic? Any recourse other than to get religion and start lighting candles or throwing clams at the sunrise? |
"Sounds like somebody has a case of the Mondays"

Great Movie! My favorite line is "Hey Peter man, watch your cornhole."
|
Also the day after the company picnic. :D

Now, a minimum security prison is no picnic. I have a client in there right now. You see, the trick is, kick someone's a$$ the first day or become someone's bit##. Then everything will be all right.

What is wrong with a Monday date?
Superstition? Fact? It is not like your Box is being built in Deerborn the Monday after the UAW NASCAR race. |
You F@#$ Lumberg?

I agree with Lexuspilot, in that according to urban legend, "Friday" was the production date to avoid, the other days of the week being about equal.

Interesting analysis. So between what you said...European cell-phone fixation and aversion to email... and the practice in many European nations to take daily siestas it's a wonder that anything gets done at all. I wonder who manages to be less-productive in their typical work-day, your average Corporate American or his European counterpart. I think Americans still have the edge in the unproductivity department.

Interesting about Monday production. Is there any way to tell what day of the week one's car was produced? Any type of code on the VIN or datacard?
|
SoCal: Ours is scheduled...
for 10/17, the previous monday--if that's any consulation. Makes me think that this is a target date or to be produced the week of 10/24.
|
Is the car produced entirely in one day? And do we know that the date we have here is the actual date of manufacture and not the date it is signed off or sorted for shipment etc.?
I imagine on every one of our cars some part has seen assembly on Monday. |
this "monday" thread brings to my mind a song by folkster billy bragg called, "St. Monday." in it, he rationalizes the substandard productivity ethic on monday to the day's "saint" status, and appropriates the day as part of the "weekend." :eek: he's british, so perhaps the monday phenomenon extends throughout europe.
St. Monday Monday and the afternoon is bearing down on me I’m watching the clock and the clock is watching me Don’t have to be cool but you know I am Don’t have to be here but you know that I’m a hard worker but I ain’t working on a Monday I’m a hard worker but I ain’t working on a Monday A hard working fellow but I ain't working on a Monday St. Monday’s still the weekend to me Two dozen enquiries are on hold for me My shift supervisor is staring hard at me Nobody can say what the matter is I’m trying to recharge my batteries I’m a hard worker but I ain’t working on a Monday I’m a hard worker but I ain’t working on a Monday A hard working fellow but I ain't working on a Monday St. Monday’s still the weekend to me Somewhere out on the road, I just wanna be free I don't wanna do as I’m told Don’t wanna work 4, 5, 6 days and turnaround Want to get high on life but first I got to get me back home Nobody can say what the matter is I’m trying to recharge my batteries :eek: |

Fact is, American workers work more hours and are far more productive than their European equivalents. Jack |
I like Bob Geldof (sp?)'s "I don't like Monday" song.
