I am the boss lol and yes I'm great

[Gizmo]

Unbelievable

However, I do understand areas are different.
Around here if you have to work during a Husker football game - no boss I've ever met expects ANYTHING to get done before the game is over - short of an emergency.

[Smokeone]

Couldnt resist Buddy!

Short of an emergency occuring, food is on our priority list!

[smokendink71]

A man has to eat or else he ain't happy, a man that's not happy is not productive. It's a win win situation.

Well said!

Yea it was a good night at the refinery... Although I do work inside now at a computer controlling things electronically
last night as I finished my plate the shift superintendent came in and got a plate before he finished his radio went off and said we had a small fire in the refinery...... any fire in the refinery aint good in my opinion so we hit our post and reacted as needed. I told the guys last night we have no room to ever complain cause we are blessed with a great job with some liberity

[smokendink71]

I worked at a grain refinery for a couple of years and anytime we heard fire everyone got a little nervous, I always felt like I was walking into a time bomb. Pay was good but my wife sure never liked it and the hours were kind of strange.

[The Czar]

are you going to do with 100+ tanks

[Smokeone]

Build smokers!

[TuscaloosaQ]

DC I kinda have this fetish I love tanks something abt them smells like money Kinda cut down on my garden space a little though. I must say my wife has been vey understanding, I told her I had a plan I just haven't revelaed it to her yet, she just smiles and says OK. Remember she is the one who puts my clothes in the dryer for me on cold winter mornings so I will be warm>>>> How did I get her, it was the tanks

The plant I work at has had 3 major explosions in the 21 years I have been there. We have blown the roof off of the reactor building twice and exploded a production tank to the point that it cracked the surrounding walls and broke free from its 2nd floor mounts and ended up on the 1st floor concrete below. Through all of that only 2 operators have been seriously hurt, all of those fires were ignited by static electricity. Back in 97 I was working the weekend when the night security gaurd came running into the lab screaming FIRE! Somehow a cleaning supply area had ignited (we suspect linseed oil on a mop head) it took me 4 fire extinguishers to finally put everything out but we never pulled the alarms. Dumbest thing I ever did, but we all get lucky eventually. Anyone who works around flammables long enough will eventually get the crap scared out of them and hopefully nothing worse.

[smokendink71]

I do agree

[Gizmo]

Fear is a great thing if it keeps you alive!

[smokendink71]

when you no longer fear is when you find yourself in trouble

[Frank_Cox]

I would have thought "Hot Pants" would have had some input on this one.....
anyway Glad all these explosions and fires have done little harm! Buildings etc can be rebuilt!
BBQ on the Job is allowed!

[Smokeone]

Been too busy to comment! But BBQ at work is the bomb!
