Then I am told of an SPL order that needed to be worked NOW, but could not be worked NOW because of an inoperative table shaper. My Super inquired if there was any way something could quickly be made to make it doable, to which I negatively responded. I suggested it be sent to Warehouse 3 to have them work on it with their table shaper. He blew-me-off and talked to a 2nd shift colleague who suggested some kind of block set-up on the band saw. At that point I walked away. THEN I was told by the stretch press lead man that I was going to be taken across the road to Warehouse 3, to which I responded, “You better tell the Super that because they are working on jury-rigging something on the band saw”. The horrid look on his face told me everything. So, I ended up loading some equipment from the table shaper here, taking it over to unfamiliar territory in Warehouse 3 and trying to figure how accomplish what I needed to accomplish. Eventual success, but it certainly took some time. *I also found out that I’m going to be blamed for the table shaper being down; however, the maintenance guy is going to put in his report that the table shaper was running fine the night prior. *One shit-storm after another. *Isa/Man <> Game of Thrones S4 E3 <> Last check on all fur-kids. <> Shower, bed, nighty-night <> God/dess Meditation: Donar;
