My Real First Day

[draconisregena]

Okay so today was my first real day at work. It was an eye opening experiance. I need to loose some weight because, these pants either are cut bvery small or this size doesn't fit. That's bad. That however is not relevant to my story.
I spent the morning with a supervisor that tried everything to get me to react. It was hard because the man was damned funny. He kept teasing me about me staring wideeyed and/or openmouthed at things in the plant.
Working at an automotive production plant is an interesting experiance even if you are only uniformed security. There are some smells in there that I care never to repeat. The Slag pit for instance. The second part of the day was spent with someone who is younger than I. Damn.
But the best part came about 2 hours into my day when we were making rounds of the fire panels. Robots! Rooms full of robots! Ones that move about the plant on preprogrammed tracks that sing "mary had a little lamb" as they move. Giant ones they call Godzilla's that are bigger than most cars! And then there was the biggest one...The giant presses, that when they come down the floor beneith you shakes. I think my favorite ones though were the ones that were welding that threw sparks 40 feet in the air.

*Sigh*
Saturday 6A-2P

Maybe I can make it to Illiton's Fighter practice after work on Tuesday. Heh! I might pass out afterwards though. Debating...

Dawn just put one of my Bra's on the dog. Woof.

please tell me they don't actually sing "Mary had a little lamb." That's just too strange.

[draconisregena.livejournal.com]

They do sing Mary had a little lamb. Not the words, but they do sing the tune as they move.

Having been responsible for similar things, I'll be it gets your attention as intended! Engineers _are_ sick and twisted sometimes.

[draconisregena.livejournal.com]

Sick, twisted and effective! One of many reasons why I love them.

Welcome to a slice that tastes like My World.

Except our stuff is Bigger. These are things that make my heart sing and my soul take flight. Because it's building, making, doing. A synchronized symphony concepted by people to produce things out of chaos. Entropy reversed.

I think its fantastic. Watching sheet metal become a car/SUV...Wow. I've never seen the like before. The only problem with it is that the EMT's because we have to hear our radios can't really wear hearing protection.

I do not like the weekend factory thats all dark and silent.

Proper hearing protection will not keep you from hearing your radio. If you don't have the right kind find some. I have lost too much of my hearing from that kind of environment. A radio earphone will fit under earmuff type hearing protectors if you can't find anything better.

I think I might do just that. *nod* I get home and my head is still ringing from the presses.

Yeah, what he said.

It takes some getting used to to hear through ear plugs, but they are designed for it. The guys with radios or phones where I've worked had the speakers pinned on their shoulder.

Sounds like a great adventure.

And Dawn did what?

Sigh.

[draconisregena.livejournal.com]

It was an adventure! She did! Bra on the Dog! It was hysterical!

Woof woof!

Gee... the dog gets into your bra but not a Northshielder....

[draconisregena.livejournal.com]

Oh come on now. I was nearly naked in that hotel room. Doesn't that count?

[lrdfaelan.livejournal.com]

I know but I was just being me. And I'm not complaining at what I saw.
