Have anyone took the Project Manager down there and showed him that the bike wont fit. I mean phyiscally show him. That woulds be my next course of action.
The PM rides a fatboy... he knows all about it. The contractor is the one the screwed up and they are not making him eat it... now they have poured the whole pad and to fix it would be a furry pain in the ****.
And someone also mentioned using a puck under the stand... I am doing that. When I bought my bike it actually came with a little plastic piece with the dealership's name on it... I was just out by the bike and the plastic peice has gotten so soft from the Sun that it is basically bending in the center.
OH Well... I could care less about their precious asphalt.
Parking is by permit only where I work, fortunately they're smart enough to let bikes and carpools in side the plant and they marked off pretty good sized areas for bikes in each parking lot so that's cool. Every once in a while we have some 'tard park in our clearly marked "Boiler Room Only / Service Vehicle Only" spots in front of the boiler house. This one suit in a gold colored Lexus in particular parked there everyday, even after we very politly pointed out that it was a restricted area. He told us more or less to get screwed so we took some black graphite grease and smeared it under his door handle. This stuff is for very high temp. blow down valves and will not come off your skin or clothes or metal work without useing diesel and a wirebrush. Nasty gooey black mess, stinks too. He came in the boiler room yelling and threatening so we called security on him, then we got to watch him smear it all over his hands trying to get it off, then all over his colthes, then all over his car door trying to get it off with wet paper towels. He even got a ticket for parking in a restricted area and a written warning for threatening behavior.
Sorry, any place that has such a thing as a "Workplace Resources Group" does not sound like a good place to work. When they start creating committees to handle common-sense issues, it's a bad sign for the health of the company.
I can think of SEVERAL things that would be good to have as a metal stamp... I actually like that idea... I may have to do that. I know a guy that makes dies for a hot-stamping press so this would just be a little bigger... Hmmm..... damn good idea.
Most places I have worked in the Computer Industry have WPR... This one is just the worst I have ever seen. Common sense just does not apply to these people. For instance... we moved into the new building and they spent a metric-buttload of cash on White boards... One problem... They did not buy the markers... Um... yeah... they JUST passed out markers yesterday. We have been in this building for about 5 months. You just gotta wonder... Damn markers can't cost THAT much.
Same thing with phones... not all of the conf rooms have phones.
And there are 4 floors in the building... Did they finish all 4? No... The did three and then stacked us up on top of eachother... We just moved into the 4th... Not like they didn't know our headcount or what the projection for hiring was.
I think the phrase "common sense" should be striken from the English Langugage... too few people have it. So apparently sense is not very common.

I agree, what's next? Chrome Consultants at dealers? Whoops, sorry, that's already happened. We have an empty office in my area of work that the corporate side likes to "park" their people in. When the last corporate guy left, I was asked what I intended to do with the now empty office and my response was met with "that is not an appropriate use of company resources". So I did the only thing we could, I put one of my other employees in the office to occupy it. Now (almost) everyone is happy.

Had a moron at the old office that would park right next to the door and take up two spaces because normal mortals were not allowed to get to close to his Dodge Truck.
Was he parking in the back of the lot? Reason I ask is because I own a dually and most parking spots are not wide enough to fit into without going over the lines. I had many scratches on my fenders/doors of my old truck due to morons who do not value my truck. So now, with the new dually, I take up 2 spots. But I always park in the rear of lots where it's empty and open, and always uphill (to prevent more lazy morons from allowing their shopping cart to roll down the lot). I don't know the circumstance or area of the lot this guy parked in but it seems he valued his truck, as many of us do. I hate seeing inconsiderate people pull in to close to another vehicle, fling open their door, cause a dent, then just walk off like it's nothing. I hate lazy people who do not place shopping carts back into the corral so the cart doesn't roll away and hit another's car. If people were more considerate, then maybe this guy wouldn't have to take up two spaces in order to protect his investment. Like I said, I do not know the circumstances, but if he was parked in the back of the lot, why mess with him? If he was in front, then try leaving a note to tell him to park in the back or confront him about it. If he was in the front then he was being just as inconsiderate as the ****** that fling open their doors.[sm=rant.gif]
Anybody that drives an old UniMog to work has got to be a sicko. I like it! Me and my partner in crime went to a local truck dealer and pretended to be seriously interested in an early `90's Mog. They had several We got to test drive a couple of them for an hour, climbing hills in the field next to the dealership. Probably spent half the day going over their many wonders. They're so friggin' cool!
