OK, gang, it’s Second Monday. How did the first one go? Everyone OK? Looks like it. Good, good. Looks like we’ve got more of the same today, so if you guys could all continue the fine work that you’ve been doing, that’d be great.
Oh, and today is National Forklift Safety Day in the U.S., so if you could be sure to check out @farscythe’s safety video, that would sure be outstanding.
…lifts is fine…provided you know you handles?
after watching that video…. im mostly just pretty happy my forklift has a seatbelt…and wont run unless im wearing it
anyways…second monday going swimmingly here….got woken up at 9 am by some asshat calling me on the phone…it was HR wondering if i died…as normally..i turn up at work at 7
so yeah…clarified im perfectly fine thanks for asking…just overslept…and then i took the rest of the day off coz we arent busy anyways…
so yeah…im definitely getting pulled into HRs office tomorow for a chat
I’ve tipped a forklift in my day.
Today is a much better Monday than yesterday. We are turning a big shed into a rental unit & the demolition involved a bunch of rat shit! We were not warned about this & had no masks & my buddy didn’t bring all the right tools so it was much harder than it needed to be. At least he didn’t fall in a hole! We had a better day though than most of these guys….
So today really does feel like Second Monday to me because I was chaperoning my son’s field trip to a really nice camp in the Adirondacks and was basically off the grid for 12 hours. Now I’m back at work and … major downgrade.
I only got trained on the fully powered stackers back in my box store employment days, so I feel like I can’t participate in National Forklift Safety Day.
They didn’t trust us with forklifts, and that was a wise decision.
I’m now a Teamster! Signed my union card today at UPS. No phones allowed except at break so I’ll be incommunicado for most weekday afternoons.
20-25 hours a week unloading trucks. No, I don’t wear brown… apparently there are some folks who get off on guys wearing delivery uniforms. I don’t know who they are, but I’ve been hit on by horny wives in front of their husbands (while selling vacuum cleaners) so I’ve seen some strange things.
