Now Do Them, It Was A Tuesday, Happy Anniversary and Virtual Interview.

 Our Location today is at Windsor, Ontario.

After what I put up with yesterday I wasn’t really keen on going in to work this morning but I did. Every night at the end of my shift I shut the Lights and lock the Compound after doing a visual look over. When I walked in today the Lock was not the way I had put it and there were Three Smaller Carriers that had mysteriously found their way to my work bench.

Within Ten Minutes I was delivering the Carriers back to the Line but ignored the Extra Duties Walk Around. If they want to treat me like trash I can treat the trash equally. After making sure there were no other Carriers needing adjustments I returned to the Compound.

I had just finished tacking the Canopy on the Rack when who should arrive but Kharen the Supervisor. He asked about the Carriers he had brought to the bench last night then he asked if I had taken my Walk Around. I admitted not today. He had me stop my task and grab a Grease Gun to go upstairs. One of the Pumps was starting to squeal and needed lubrication. I’ll be certain to check them all in the morning.

I finished the Rack by adding Bracing and by 9:00 had delivered it to the Line. I was in the process of cleaning the work bench when Kharen and a Line Worker show up with Two Carriers that he wanted modified. These were the same Carriers I got screamed at for modifying yesterday but today it was okay because he was telling me to do it. (Definitely a Power Trip.) It wouldn’t long to do so I didn’t push.

Besides Kharen soon returned with some Plastic Piping that he said was for the Plant Air. (That’s Illegal!) When he asked if I had ever done any Plumbing I Lied because I don’t want to read about an Explosion and getting blamed for it. For those that don’t know my Major in High School was Architectural Drafting with Carpentry, Electrical, Plumbing, Sheet Metal and Masonry as extra subjects. Just don’t tell Kharen.

When I called Kathy at my 1:00 lunch the first thing I said was Happy Anniversary. It has only been Twenty Years but if we hadn’t had tragedies in our former lives we might never have met. Here’s to another Thirty Years at least.

While talking it dawned on me that yesterday was Tuesday. Remember all the times Kharen has yelled at me has always been on a Tuesday. We actually slept with the AC on last night but by 10:00 Kathy had to shut it off. Within an Hour she had to turn it back on because it was getting that warm.

I finished the Carriers and had them at the Line by 2:30 where Kharen wanted me to modify a Rack saying it was too hard to move around the plant floor. The problems are it is carrying too much weight, the cement floor reminds me of the Quartzsite Desert and the Wheels are too small. After a few measurements I realized it was after 3:00 and I had to close up the Compound before I left at the end of the day.

On the way home I stopped at Vital-Aire where they replaced the malfunctioning Transformer to our CPAP Machines. This will be a spare but it’s better then not breathing while sleeping. After another quick stop I was home shortly after 4:00.

After talking to Kathy at lunch I noticed I had a Voice Message but due to limited time didn’t call it back. When I did I spoke with Susanne who was acting as a Hiring Agent for a Company that I have only applied for Twenty Times since last November. We scheduled a Virtual Interview for 7:00 this evening.

Kathy tried something different tonight for supper. She served Barbecued Pork with Vegetable Fried Rice with Chocolate Pudding Cups for dessert.

I just felt so grubby I headed for the shower. It felt so good to be clean again but I did like lots of those Covid Commercials by putting on a clean T-Shirt and my Pajama Bottoms.

I missed most of the 6 o’clock Local News so have no Cronavirus Case Numbers for the Windsor/Essex Region tonight.

The high temperature today felt like 99 F (37 C) around 4:00 this afternoon but we are supposed to get a few days of Below Seasonal Temperatures.

As in previous interviews Zoom would not connect so we used Facebook Messenger. I teasingly said to Kathy before that it’s bad when you spend your Anniversary talking to a strange woman while your wife is sitting next to you. Since I will have Monday July 5th off in celebration of American Independence Susanne is going to try and arrange a Welding Test for that day.

Kathy let me know of all the Online Anniversary Wishes we received.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day and that there is a light at the end of this Nightmare Tunnel.

Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment unless it personally attacks someone for their opinion or is Spam.

Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.

You know you’re RV trash when you call the garbage cans at rest areas “dump stations.”

  1. Happy anniversary. Not a very exciting way to spend your day, but I know having Kathy by your side makes life so much better. Sure am hoping another job comes through and you can get out of that place.

  2. Happy anniversary 🎊. Hopefully things will get better. I don't know how you've stayed that long. Good luck

  3. Happy Anniversary! That workplace is full of incompetent people. No one uses plastic piping for pneumatic lines, in addition to being illegal, it's flat out dangerous.
