Well, I am leaving, but I wanna come back. I do have plenty of blanks..........
I'll try it.......maybe tonight......but I might wait till the weekend when its less likely someone will walk in during the show. That might be hard to explain.

Well Bird, Looks like its just you and I left in here. I have 45 minutes to get my stuff done before people start rollin in and lookin around.
I'll try the cd and popcorn. Maybe even the popcorn on the CD. Give it a little smokey flavor.
Have a good day....be back in tonight.

Unhappy

Back at it again on my last 12hr night shift of this set of shifts, flip'n back to dayshift for next Friday-Sunday. My cross shift showed up about 10 minutes after I posted that angry note this morning... . Being tired at the end of a long shift can make a person crabby.

Wish I could catch some Z's at night here, but that's an automatic canning.
Matter of fact, we just had to can someone a few weeks ago after repeated offenses, and then claiming "I don't know what the big deal is.."
Uhh, you have a job to do. THAT would be the big deal. Wake up.

This is not the kind of job you can nod off at, something bad will invariably happen if you, and when it does, every second counts.

Red face

I am with you there, I work in a pulp mill in the utilities area, a lapse in concentration can rapidly impact the whole process & puts everyone at risk of injury or in worst case scenario, death, not to mention the cost of down time & lost production. Sleeping is done at home as this is no place to not be on the ball at all times.
