Oscar the Grouch...

Well, today was a rather strange day at work. We got started on time and things moved right along until about noon. It's about then the Oscar, the guy that has been training me, hurt his leg. He was standing on the side of the rock crusher, one foot propped up on the 'Do not stand on or near this machine when it's in operation'. A rock, about the size of my fist popped out of the crush, flew about 10 foot in the air and came down on top of his leg. It didn't get broken, but it's bruised and he's out of work until at least Tuesday.

After that he went to the hospital, and we shut down the plants to do some work on them. We changed the screen decks out. Which is a 5 hour process, and a test of mind over matter. You have to 'will' them into place, or find a way around the laws of physics.

tomorrow should be fun, I'll have to run the whole plant by my self. With out the aid of him.
