We recently went to a 'Summer Schedule" at work-- to last thru 19 Sept. From 44 hrs per 5-day week to 40 [and no, I'm NOT complaining. Glad to have the 40 in today's economy, and nice to be headed home an hour earlier Mon.- Thurs.].
But it means no O.T.
Well, last weekend, I went in to complete the company's "Lift Truck" (forklift) safety course.
And today... I was able to fill in for a man in a department next to mine.
My work cohort was at a funeral.
Because Monday his best friend was killed in a forklift accident.
'Here and Now', as the parrot in "Fierce Invalids..." said, Folks...

Wow!
I am sorry for your co-workers loss. Please pass along my condolences.
40 hours a week is definitely a good thing in today's economy.
Congrats on passing the safety course, WooHoo!
You, my friend, be safe
Hugs~Felinae~
There's a queer synchronicity to life, isn't there?
I'm sorry for your cohort's loss, for the loss that other man's family feels...
I'll second Miss Falinae's sentiment - hurrah for passing, and you be safe.
Shade and Sweetwater,
K (yes, I'm still up, but since I'm not driving a forklift any time soon...)
...funny how shit works huh ?...thoughts and prayers go out,but hey...better him than me/you/us...go safely Brother,if the towmotor license is like ours,its regional and transferable,nice in a resume...
Apart from the management I get the most hours where I work and I get between 35-40 hours, most people only get 25-30, so I count myself lucky, specaily because I have to pay for college in this economy.
I am glade that you got to take that class, though it is sad that some one died. I hope everything is working out.
Ken-- exactly, Brother. And even if the piece of paper isn't transferable, the experience darn sure is...
Thanks for the thoughts, man.
Thanks, Lady Felinae...
I'll be safe-- I promise. Still have to make it out to Cali and hammer some Guinness with Catman and you!!!
Wouldn't wanna miss that opportunity...
Thanks Lady.
Lady K...
Kind of a reminder never to get too "comfortable" when doing something deadly-dangerous...
Like home-schooling little Evil Geniuses...
Thanks for not driving after an all-nighter...ha!
Lasy Aeshe!
What a pleasant visit! I like your newest photo there! You know I can't go to your site without being seriously distracted my your photo roll... But I digress! ha!
Good to get the hours we do, indeed.
Thanks for the visit, my friend.
Bright Blessings...
Cygnus
