**** of a day at work

[lschultz]

I just finished washing my truck and cleaning it up. When I clean it I clean everything. And it was kinda cold this morning when I was washing it about 40 according to outside temp sensor here at work. I could catch a cold and get sick and then have to miss work. I could of waited till it warm up some but I wanted to get through. 1 more hr to go and then I gets to go home.

And we get paid for this.

You're more than welcome to come and wash mine next.

Of course I must warn you, the high in DC today was around 20*F.



Note to self:

Next time build the ToyBox bigger, with heat, water, and a floor drain.

Rookie Detail

We use to have a Project Superintendent out at work that would wait until you got out to the job site, and then call on the company radio. "I need to see you in my office right away". You'd go in to the shop, and he would say take my truck an wash it, and detail the interior, make sure it is full of diesel. Done all the rookies that way. Yeah! I done it before, but he's gone now. The new guys starting out now don't know what they missed.
