I'm bored - 02-23-2009, 06:08 PM


I'm here at work.
We are trying to demo our tools, but there is a process we have to follow.
Now we're waiting on other people in order to cut gas lines.

I have had days where there is nothing to do here.
I have brought my camra to work on some days, but it's been raining.
And if you have been on this board for a while, you might remember my last experience when water and camera gear mixed.

I can only spend so much time at the on site gym.

And with a 12.5 hour day, it's a lot of surfing.

At least I have something to do today.
We have to cut off PCW (Process Chilled Water) to three of the tools, cut the lines and drain the water out of the tools.

That ought to kill about a couple of hours.

Crystal, thanks for the offer. Hahaha

Ouch! Sorry Steve. I'll be right there with you in a few more months.
They're closing this place down, but there are too many toxic issues here to just "Close the doors".
They have to do it safely.

Good luck finding a job. Did they give you any severance?

Nope, nothing but a check for unused vacation and I didn't even get that, I have been on family medical leave for 3 weeks and was scheduled to go back to work on March 2
Really feel bad for a couple guys that had 35 plus years and were within a couple years of retirement. They didn't get squat out of the deal.
