Yay, its friday! Well after I got moved over to my new position the very next night I started pulling trim for the last two hours of work.

So now every hour I switch off with the ( Read more... )

Got to train on the trimmer saw today. Was cool. Lots to watch though. Lots to turn off too. Its cool. I was thinking of moving to day shift. I dont think I will, nights are better and my supervisor is cool. I mean he will yell at you if you fuck up. That usually happens at some point, but hes nice anyways. If I fuck up its my fault anyways So it ( Read more... )
