There has been a lot of time at work lately for standing around and bullshitting. It is fun to get to know these guys, I like them. We probably never would have been friends in the outside world. The four guys who are turning into pretty good buddies are Georgia, Joe, Brian and Red. So the way our nights have been going is that we get about 95% of our work done by 2:00am and then we stand around and drink coffee with tools in our hand (or at least nearby) so when anybody comes in you can start turning a wrench on something. Then at 6am when the day shift supervisor gets there, we start stretching out the last five percent until 6:50 then we get cleaned up for the 7:00 am safety meeting, which has yet to be informative.
This morning at the safety meeting I saw the guy who hurt his back at work. I thought for sure that guy was headed for Germany. He is close to retirement age, way too old to be taking a pummeling like that. And I didn’t ask him if they took X Rays, I doubt they did.
