Socially Acceptable

1. When  in society did it become socially acceptable to wear you pants at half mass?

2. Have you realized it's gotten hard, with the invention of cell phones, to tell the crazy lunatics from someone who walking down the street with their hands free unit on screaming at someone?

"I am the White Snow Queen!"

Yes... I know how that sounds, but I'm not  delusional. .... in case you're wondering.
I was at work, working in the cold warehouse with some temps doing some rework. When all of a sudden...... POOF! A white fog was blooming from the sugar silo next to us. . Now I've always had this fear of that silo giving way while I'm around it. I don't know why. But I happen to know they fill it more than the max fill,,, Hence the paranoia. So according to one of the guys  in the warehouse, all you could see was me out running the plume of sugar. Heals and ass all the way! I get to the doorway to realize my temps are just standing in the the warehouse and not moving, so I stop holding my breath and yell, 'Get out of there! Move move move! " They finally start moving. I get them out, but got a lung full of sugar in the process. As we come running out. It caused panic in the next room and they ran out thinking it was a fire. So I ran into the production office and made the following page "Maintenance! Get to the sugar Silo NOW! Maintenance to the sugar silo!" One of the supervisors ran in to hit the  Emergency shut off. Dumb ass. it could have been anything. And apparently the the emergency shut off is right under the fucking silo. For real! There's a brilliant move right there. So after  a bunch of guys were called in to clean, I realize I should tell my boss. So give him a call in his office. And do you know what he said? "Please tell me I'm not the first person you called?" I was a bit hurt by that question and said "Actually, you were the last person I notified. I called for maintenance first." There was some sarcasm to that and defense too.
There was about an inch of sugar on the floor. IT WAS EVERYWHERE! the guys were making crack as I walked in. One went "Who do you think you are causing this mess.
My retort was "I am The White Snow Queen!" I snapped my fingers and did the whole cocky head thing.
I must admit they were stunned into silence, since I'm usually so serious at work, then bust out laughing.
The whole white powder jokes went on from there. .. People kept asking if I was in there. I said "YEAH!" They said my eyelashes were stark white from the sugar. with in an hour there was a whole different  issue. I was covered in sugar, which when your body is covered in, becomes very sticky!. It was about 10 Am when this went on. I didn't get home till 6:30 pm....

Grow UP!

So my father asked me to tell my older brother he needs to move. So I did. as my little brother put it, it did go a little too well. Cause today, my older brother was trying to convince my little brother that I was taking my mothers checks and paying my mortgage with it. My little brother basically told him he was full of crap because the V.A. is watching my mother account and that  they would know by now. Because when a check made out to my older brother went through for about $900 they wanted to know if he stole moms checks. Pop said he gave him the check to put in a dishwasher. the dishwasher was only a $400 dishwasher.... guess who got the rest?

But he's trying to convince people I, and I don't even live there, am stealing checks....

I work in a Chocolate Factory - And there Ain't no Opmpa Loompa's! Part 2

Yup I'm back.
We're having a hold put on a bunch of ingredients because an lab test came back too high to meet the standards of a certain store. That should tell you that it's bad right? So I put all these ingredients on hold for the lot #'s  on them being used in these said chocolates that came back bad. So it turns out that we don't have any other lot number on a certain ingredient. They called my boss and he said to use it then, just open a new container. Come on! Really?! Seriously! What is the point of Q.A. if we put it on hold just to use it anyway cause we don't have anymore? Hell, we should just cover a dog turd and send it out.

So, What do you think? If they set up standards for a store that we have to meet, shouldn't we be a little more concerned about things staying on hold till we get the results back?

I work in a Chocolate Factory - And there Ain't no Opmpa Loompa's!

I've seen things that would turn you away from chocolate forever....!

Q.A. I am no less. I swear it's more about quantity than quality! I don't care what they tell us everyday! Instead of being listened to about us putting out crap, I'm shunned and treated like a second rate citizen. The ugly red headed step child..... Then when something goes wrong, the first person they go to is me! Even though they are the ones who ran it that way anyway! Getting the big boss and going over my head. Go figure they can't keep up with the big boys and are barely holding one. I have hated this job since I started. But with the way things are, I can't up and quite. I need money. I've never hated a job like this... EVER!
