What happens when you enjoy your job in a factory?

You get shots like this:





Oh, here's another one of work.

Forklifts are so much fun. hehe

The zero turning radius, low center of balance and the Propone powered Toyota 4 cylinder make for good cookie spinning.

You look like you're having too much fun. You're bound to get your thumb sliced off by a piece of sheet metal or something.

man i had the most fun ever working at a warehouse runnin fork lifts and pickers....

If i could make the money i do now but do that, man i would anytime. The worst part of a day is getting in a wreck ;p

Na... Not shrooms. I actually don't do any drugs. The eyes were doctored a bit 'cause they were red, and... I don't know what I'm doing. And there ya have it.

Haha, I wish! Na, it's a family business, and I don't work in a warehouse. I do Sheet Metal. But yeah, it's quite a bit over min wage.

oh man I've also had a crap load of fun when I worked at a lumber yard. Forklifts, big trucks, fun people. Work was hard sometimes, but overall it is a blast.

We had a train turning through our yard and one day someone got a forklift stuck on the tracks... was a blast. The ground was too muddy so we had to use the boom truck to lift the forklift off. Just in time too because 5min later the train went by.

Our yard was also at the bottom of a hill/city so when it rained all the water would floor the yard. Was awesome to get paid to stand around and wait for the heavy rains to go away. Even more run to bog around in the 3500s and float peices of wood through the rapids that the water made. Man i wish i had pictures.


mm more fun stories..

this one guy we had forgot how high the boom trucks are and tore the boom off when he ran into a bridge at 60mph... oops.

After that guy got fired the new guy got a brand new truck. However the people who installed the boom made a mistake and the boom malfunctioned. This caused it to drop a full pallet of 3/4 CDX through the windshield. Awesome!

Then of course there is the kid who got busted selling OC in the bathroom. Was neat having the police cart his stupid a*s off to jail.

However,

there are also the dark times like when my foot got ran over by a truck, or when I some corner bead fell out of the bottom of their box and ripped into my knee!

............

Remember how they tell you to not jump off the lifts, it isn't because you'll fall off. My supervisor jumped off a lift and his shirt caught the shifter or something and put the running lift from neutral into reverse... Lets just say the guy who owned the red blazer wasn't too happy about his new aerodynamic door.
