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 --
Larry

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.
