lucky bum

the power went off at work once and were playing with the radios mocking the supervisors
(he kept asking them when he could get back to work :lol: )
trying to figure out a solution to the issue. Our boss came by and heard us laughing hysterically
and joking\ a few hours later one of them agreeded to take the heat with the big bosses and they
sent us home.

We found out that the wind blew a power pole over. They didn't restore full power until after 11 pm!!

That IS pretty damn good! How long are your workdays though and what days?

tue/Friday swing shift
thats the schedule i had before but i had to go to weekends to get in the best department
in the building.

Honestly I am just glad I have a good job right now. The local In and Out got 4000 applications
some were college graduates and the only interviewed the top 300 people and hired 40 usually
half of those people don't last six months.
