Very few orders for the table shaper, but enough.
Ya know, whenever any supervisor brings in pizza, it has been pizza for every shop under a supervisor’s domain.  Last night, over our dinner break, a colleague noticed the stretch press area had been not only treated to pizza, but was also given an extended dinner break.  We were like, WTF?  Why weren’t we invited?  Why was nobody else invited.  Our shop and hand-forming were cussing the super.  After the dinner break, our efforts took a nose-dive.  This kind of favoritism is unprecedented.

Born of fire, born of ice

Elder Runes in your way

Elder Rune: Pertho: Dice cup, issues concerning: the lucky roll of the dice, questions of luck, the consideration of Wurt/Urlag (the ordeal of Humankind), the Wurtâ; Urda (that which was), Werdanda (that which is becoming) and Sculd (that which is owed), the realization of hidden potential, interwoven yet independent Wurt, good fellowship and happiness, secrets revealed, the collective consciousness, the Well of Knowledge for true growth.
Conversely:
The presence of negative Wurt, an unlucky roll of the dice, bad luck, secrets remaining secret, delusions, fantasies, megalomania, outside the collective/individual consciousness, out of touch with reality, negative forces set in motion, that which is unknowable, the need to deal with uncertainty, unpleasant contractions of birth pains, secrets remaining secret, take no chances.
