Hooker For A Day

Get your mind out of the gutter! We were out of caps for one of our lines, so I ended up going to work on the line that makes toilet bowl deoderizers that clip onto the side of the bowl. Boy does that part of the building smell funky. Basically all I did today was untangle handfulls of little plastic clips and put them in the little slots for them in the plastic pouches they get shipped in. Talk about complete monkey work. It reminded me of the kid's toy with a barrel full of plastic monkeys, except instead of trying to link them all together I was trying to untangle them.

I forgot to blog about work last week. I had a close call with the labeler for the Old English line. Every team has a safety leader. They have a safety meeting about once a month, and the big meeting for this month was last week. When the safety leader leaves for the meeting somebody has to take his or her place, so it's like musical chairs with everybody moving around. The lady that usually runs the OE labeler was going to have to move to a different machine. That meant I was going to have to take over for her. Luckily, one of the other lines wasn't working right, so the main boss for my team decided to just shut it down. That meant not only didn't I have to run the labeler after lunch, I got to go home at 11:30. I was doing a happy dance all the way to my car. I was thinking about saying good-bye to the lady running the labeler and tell her she was wrong about me taking her place, but didn't want to run the risk that she might go to the boss & get her to change her mind. Momma didn't raise no fools.

Oh, and I have bad news on the computer front. I thought I had everything backed up. I didn't back up any of my favorite places. I figured out how to do it, and then just didn't. Either I started thinking Juno was going to back them up, or I noticed the desk-top computer had my favorite places. Unfortunately, Juno only backed up my e-mail and address book, and the favorite places on the desk-top computer only had the favorites from before I got my laptop, so there were only about a quarter of the favorites I had on this laptop. I didn't loose anything really important. After all, most of the links in my favorite places I put in just because I went to that page once but never went back. I figure if I can't remember enough about a web site to find it again I didn't really need it anyway. And now my computer ROCKS!
