I LIVE FOR THE THURSDAY SAFETY MEETING!

On todays agenda:

On the job injuries...the foreman for the general contractor bloviated about recent injuries,the most significant being someone from another trade trying to kill himself by wiring a 480 volt device incorrectly and then turning it on.Some highlights:
Foreman:"and that's...480 volts...the worse you can get right"?(directed at our foreman)
Our foreman:"Uh...yes".

Next up:Smoking...there is no smoking allowed in the building,but everyone does anyway.Just like the rule about no food or drink allowed on the floors from the last meeting...evryone nods in agreement and then does the fucking opposite.Only this time he's "telling us,not asking"and we should "keep it up and see what happens".
This guy should get into politics.
Really funny moment:when it was the interpreters turn to repeat what was just said,he did...in ENGLISH!He was about 3 sentences into it when he realized he wasn't speaking spanish.HA!

And the best for last...Apparently it is one guy who is pissing in cups and on piles of insulation and in his best CSI:Miami impersonation foreman says "Let's get this guy...get him out of here"...Like it's a serial killer or something.

While waiting for the elevator I commented to a co worker,"man,I can't wait to get to the 12th floor".He asked why and I replied,"I can't wait to have a coke and a smoke and then piss on some insulation".
And so it goes...
