 Posted: 04/08/05 - 07:35 Post subject: friday foibles.... per andys request
We have a major water line break here at work. They've temporarily rigged up a fire hose to a hydrant so theoretically we have water - with a large print recommendation to not drink it. It's also turned the toilets into bidets apparently - they are flushing water out of the toilet!
Worst part is - no coffee! I sense a quick walk to Mcdonalds shortly.

I am honored. I didn't think anyone took my stuff seriously.
My foibles will involve work and the effort it takes to process over 10 tons of standard mail a night...

We have lost one of our air compressors and the other is on life support. This is what happens when a corporate owner wants all the profits, but not to invest in the upkeep of critical eqipment... 
There is a portable diesel compressor hooked up to the compressor room with a large hose.
We seem to be functioning normaly.

I'm sure my Lady Remington is important to no one but me, RIGHT NOW, but when I start walking around here looking like the Bride of Sasquatch you boys will be taking a collection.

In the past 24 hours I have ordered a new belt for a treadmill and a couple pads/covers for a couple of the weight machines that were beginning to look a bit worn. That's what happens when a corporate owner works for minimum wage as opposed to drawing from the till.

You mean Ranger will be taking up a collection. The rest of us will happily donate to his worthy cause.

My company recently came up with certificates of appreciation that they pass out to employees who have been with the company for 5,10,15, and 20 years. But if you've already had one of these anniversaries they won't give you your certificate unless you ask for it.
"Excuse me Mr. Millionaire owner guy, I've worked for you for 9 years. I know you have no idea what my name is, but can I have that certificate of appreciation please?"

I got a prinout because its the first year I'm eligible to retire, not that that is going to happen...I can retire with a lifetime monthly pension of almost $ 400/mo but after deducting medical coverage its about $ 300/mo.
Thanks for all your hard work. I'm expecting a 20 year pin at some point this year.

I think after 25 years here, they just take you out back and shoot you.
