Random thoughts

Yesterday at work I had to transfer a bunch of skids from one warehouse to the next unit. That meant driving back in forth on the forklift in the extreme cold and having the large overhead door open for prolly 15 minutes.

Like it was freezing cold. Kinda ridiculous.

Apparently while I was doing that, not 1 but 2 people passing through the warehouse asked the guys why they have the door open.

We spent the rest of the day coming up with sarcastic answers to that.




We were a bit hot.

Oh really? Is the door open? I didn't notice.




And on and on.

lol, I remember that being the case when I was working at the Labatt factory. I would sometimes get called up to the office for a day of speadsheet duty and that would get me dirty looks from the plant/warehouse dudes.

Yeah negroes, I swing both ways.

One thing they really like to do where I work is celebrate birthdays. Whenever it is someone's birthday, everyone sings to them and there is always some kind of custom cake or dessert (or some people have special needs like the vegan guy who got a a bowl of some special chips with salsa).

Whatever. It's all good. This one woman loves to bake and do the desserts. They are usually excellent. I don't really give a crap about birthdays but whatever - I go along. I sing.

Here's what I noticed though. I have worked there exactly 3 months today. Minus weekends, I have been there ~62 workdays. There has been a birthday every day. I have not been keeping a spreadsheet or anything but it seems like I have been singing to someone - and partaking in some wonderful dessert - every day.

Okay. But there are only 18 people that work there.

I am having trouble reconciling this.
 
I'll tell you what nothing flushes sales momentum down the toilet quicker than a bullshit company birthday meeting.

Hi Birthday meeting, meet idle time for company employees. You two have a lot in common. Covering overhead go back to your office and do your thing.
