waiting

well, i figured that while i'm waiting for my dinner to get done i'd post and update, i never did get to finish the last update cus of the keyboard. well that night at work the power went out, scary!! well they had backup generators and stuff and it came back on within 20 mins. but still even when we had to go in the tornado shelter that one time the lights didn't go out. it was odd. tonight everyone was all hyping up the bad weather but i didn't think it would get to bad and i was right. well last night (wednesday night) we had major problems on the line we were down for 4 hours. and so we pulled a 12 hour shift that night but we got production done. well tonight i had to do cables and since something always goes wrong when i do cables... well normally it's not my machine that breaks down but tonight it was. for the past 2 weeks we've had problems with the cable machine saying "motor over load" well they've had maintenace over but they didn't ever fix it. well it's continued to do that what happens is you'll have a part finish and then the machine shuts itself down and flashes and beeps "motor over load" well we were told to just reset the machine and turn it back on and go on when it happens, well tonight it just decided it wasn't gonna go on. we had 300 parts to do and then we would switch over to our last part and do 300 of those which the last ones don't get cables. well ok i did a part and well the whole night it shut down no joke probly 20 times. so we start the one parts and it shuts itself off and it wouldn't let me turn it back on or anything. so we called maintenace and we had to switch to our last parts, and do those. well turns out it was just a loose wire. how simple!!! well what normally takes us 2 hours to do we did in 1 hour and 15 mins. we did all 3oo parts in that time, i was kickin boooty!! see because of standardized work we have to follow it slows us down but i was just flying... and no bad parts either but i was sweating and hufing and bright red and sooooooo tired at the end of it. but we got out at 1:30. well my food is done so ciao!
