We are but the union is known to be useless

Imagine having to deal with it and not just read about it x.x

All day every day at work
If not for me, then someone

So one of the two who had been printers before we merged shifts was asked to stay a bit and cover me. Apparently he stayed the entire shift, likely due to at least one line changing. And since he's trained to material handler (he's in shipping), he helped with that too And the other apparently whack...

Oh they're already aware, this stuff is why so many are pushing to get a second/backup for me n the material handler, to prevent this sort of situation
Or at least lessen the chances of it happening

Rip my supervisor today
Had half my annual (is over two different days this time cuz the echo and ekg like to be very slow in giving out results) today and I know there was at least one line change today that involves a screen change ahahahaha

"Oh second is only temporary" mindset

OOH TORNADO WARNINGS THAT KILLED WORK FOR AN HOUR And only after it got lifted did we get sent to lunch. Fuck yeah At least two confirmed tornadoes in the area, sky was green, went full black, lightning strikes everywhere, including one we heard while inside the break room where normally we hear not...

Mom's side

Work keeps having a mindset that second is only temporary, so they don't need to worry about such things. They need to stop that because it's driving us up the wall

Scattered my uncle's ashes today, so off of work with bereavement And since he was a Vietnam vet, got the motorcycle cavalcade, 21 gun salute, etc Several people recognized the cavalcade setting up and honked as they drove by. As we headed to the cemetery for the ceremonies there at least one person...

They're generally nocturnal, yes, but at the same time don't need a wild animal in my house So two possums and a raccoon have wanted in so far Poor Doink.
