Ok so this past weekend was fun and coming into this weeks work was a beeeotch. I have one mechanic who has planned vacation for the week, one mechanic who is in training all week and one mechanic who has Monday and Friday off. That leaves me with 3 mechanics and the overtime mechanic I called in to help when he can come in. This information will be hlpful later.

So things I learned since the last post:
1. Going to Coyote Ugly and getting a penalty shot is close enough revenge for the hell I went through on my bachelor party. That little package laid a whoopin on Funk, I mean she unleashed on his ass. I asked some of the guys when we were going to get Funk F’d up but they looked at me in fear and said they learned a lesson after what they did to me. Wha later said “If you want us to finish him, we can finish him, just let me know”. I felt like we were in a scene from Karate Kid.

2. From the complaints department: I swear to try my hardest to incorporate proper structure into my entries…..mainly using a thing called a paragraph.

3. Friends enjoy watching you get hit on by single women when you are married.

4. I am such a light sleeper. It is rediculous really, I wake up to pin drops, I swear. Saturday night we all crash in Wha’s apt at 3 AM and as I was lightly alcholicly (yeah thats a word so shut up) affected, I do not pass out like everyone else. I only got 4 hours of sleep the night before so I thought I would crash hard. That probably would have been the case if the lumberyard wasn’t in full production mode. By the lumberyard I mean Funk’s soon to be cousin-in-law. He was passed out on a couch and snoring up a storm. No one else seemed to be stirring from this so it was my mission to get him on his side. I threw magazines at him, I pulled a blanket from under him, I shook the Sh!t out of him and he would only stop snoring long enough for me to get back to my place of hibernation. I searched the apartment for a space that was not echoing with the snore and finally gave up. At 4:30 I got my stuff together and drove home, the hour and a half drive wasn’t bad but it was foggy. I got home by 6, went to bed, woke up at 8, went back to bed and got up at 10 to mow the lawn. I guess it was pretty damn funny when the guys found the note I left explaining where the hell I was and why. Damn I guess I still don’t know how to use paragraphs.

5. When you have 3 mechanics out and one replacement the math really doesn’t work out when tow of the remaining mechanics decide to call in and say that they aren’t coming in that day due to other restraints. Needless to say I only had 1 of my mechanics yesterday as the OT guy couldn’t come in. I had to extend some first shift hours and get some 3rd shift guys to come in early. That is a bunch of OT charged to me and for me to explain at a later date. I am still waiting for the ass chewing on planning that I will get, but the fellow production supervisors agree that I had no way around what happened. Oh well, just another day at the turkey plant.
