TIFU by breaking a $10,000 part at Work

Today looked to be a standard day at work.

I work in a cleanroom fab where my company manufactures semiconductors on 200mm silicone wafers. It's an highly iterative process that requires fine tuned machines, specific airflow, and a multitude of different processes that do different things to the wafer. It's incredibly important that the environment and the machines necessary to do the job are in proper condition. These wafers are worth a ton of money, a full set of 25 can have a value of high 5 figures to low 6 figures easy. That means the machines that make them need to be in the best condition, which means regular preventative maintenance. That's where I come in. I'm a maintenance technician for my area that works on the tools to make sure they're in proper working order.

I won't go into too much detail, but there's a certain toolset that's easy enough to manage but if you're not careful certain parts can break very easily. That's what happened with me. There was an error on a chamber that my lead wanted me to check out. I went over to the tool and saw that some parts went bad. I've worked on these chambers countless times for regularly scheduled preventative maintenance so I figured since I was there, I might as well replace the parts. I accidentally slipped while trying to remove the fragile parts and ended up breaking an edge ring where the wafer would sit during process. This part was no longer a foot in diameter an a few millimeters thick and is incredibly brittle. This part costs $10,000 to replace.

I was already under some stress this week due to another mistake I made a couple days ago during the last 15 minutes of my shift. I didn't help that my area was understaffed and we've had a lot going on this week. My lead isn't upset, he didn't even expect me to open up the chamber just to note that we were looking into it. We have too much going on right now and need to prioritize other work.

This week has not been my week at all. This is my last day here this week however so in another 6 hours I can finally take my leave and come back renewed not to make these kinds of mistakes again.

TLDR: While working I ended up slipping which caused me to break a $10,000 part for something I didn't actually need to work on in the first place.

TIFU by walking into a glass door.

This just happened barely 30 minutes ago. Ended up with a nose bleed and some of the worst nose pain in my life. I can’t even wear glasses without the pressure hurting my nose. So, how did I make the same fuck up a bird would? I put on my sunglasses to leave an appointment and ended up walking nose first into a glass door. Shambling back in shock, I had no damn clue what I had just done. It shocked me so bad that I didn’t comprehend it until I felt liquid drip down my nose. I had turned into the world’s bloodiest leaking faucet. Someone witnessed this in their periphery and asked me if they needed to phone someone. In a panic I basically wailed for them not to, even though I would soon freak out and think I need an ambulance. Someone else came by and ended up giving me paper towels, which quickly looked like I had murdered a mouse with them. My nosebleed soon stopped but not before someone else checked on me. TLDR; fought a glass door and lost. I do not envy the janitorial staff. ...

TIFU by asking my boss why his cock got hard on my leg.

***not a fake post. I’m F 32, He was standing over one of my legs while I was sitting in front of him facing him (spinal adjustment) and he spread my knees with his leg, put his hand on my stomach and then there was a ton of sexual tension and I felt his cock grow into my leg and then start to fill with blood and then twitch on my leg. My boss has been leading me on for two years in subtle ways. Lots of waist pinching, close moments, and “were you good while I was away(s)?” Mostly breadcrumbing himself out to me while his wife (who I also work with) became increasingly hostile towards me. He is someone who has been a mentor to me for ten years. The two of them seem to be having marital problems on and off. The other month, while in close proximity, he started to get hard on my leg and moved when he noticed. A while later, I asked for an open conversation on the attraction between us and what to do about it. It has been distressing me and I had reached my limit. I figured since we’ve...

TIFU by going through my girlfriend’s old photos

My girlfriend and I have been together for 9 months or so and things have been up and down but I love her a lot and she loves me a lot. We’re both 20 and she’s had a lot more experience sexually than I have and this has always bothered me but besides that we have a pretty good relationship. We’ve talked about our pasts and she’s had some pretty bad experiences that caused her to kind of go off the rails up until we met. She’s all in on me and I’m all in on her and she’s expressed a lot of regret about her past choices and I’ve tried to be as understanding as possible but I’ve always had some insecurity regarding it. Well anyways last night I was on her laptop and saw her photos were linked to it and I stupidly clicked on it and started going through them. Don’t need anyone telling me that it was dumb and an invasion of privacy because I really realize that now and I will never be going through any of her stuff again. Anyways I ended up seeing a lot of shit. Clicked on a folder that...
