Duh...

There I was at work, bright and not so early this morning, just a working away when the powers that be descended on the sub-brazing madder'n a hornet, hooting and hollering that we'd only brazed 1400 headers yesterday. 

All the while I was thinking, "You sent half the department (and I'm including the tubing side in this) home at noon, most of the rest home at 1:00 and you're wondering why we didn't get that many headers done?  What did you think would happen????"  I rolled my eyes -- a common occurrence out there-- and went back to work. 

It wasn't long at all before Supervisor Maxwell was in the department yelling about how the lines were down needing headers, and all God's sub-brazers said, "Well, DUH!"  

Needless to say, we did not go home at noon today.  Or 1:00...well, most of us.  Group Leader Shark did come around at five minutes until 1:00 and asked if we wanted to go.  I said, "If you asked 30 minutes ago, maybe I would, but I done got 2:00 in my head, so I might as well stay."  In the end, Demi-god was the only one who left early.  

But I'm getting ahead of myself...shortly after Maxwell was freaking out over the lack of headers, I saw him and Junior deep in conversation.  One of the other plant employees told me that was why he'd been kicked out of his former supervisory position -- because he was messing up over there.  Now he's messing up over here.  I hate to say it, but some people just aren't cut out to be supervisors. 

At least now I know why Uncle Supervisor, when I was teasing him about abandoning us, chuckled and said, "I won't be for long."  

On a similar note, when I was fixing my oatmeal this morning, I noticed that my milk was starting to smell a little sus.  With that in mind, I went ahead and did my shopping after work.  Since I have been doing so well in keeping my glucose under control, I decided to treat myself and bought....bananas!

You thought I was going to say candy, didn't you?  Nope, although I will probably buy some candy corn before it's all over with.  And I was tempted by the pumpkin cake roll, but that didn't last long when I saw the price of it.  Nearly $6...yeah, I didn't want it that badly.  

I left the cake and the candy corn for another day, and came on home where I watered the baby grass, filled the hummingbird feeders, and sat in the air conditioning for the rest of the day. 

 I've been watching a documentary on Netflix about Warren Jeffs and the FLDS church.  Back in the day, I watched a movie on TV called Child Bride of Short Creek.  It was about the polygamist cult that lived there in Short Creek, and it is almost eerie how similar it is to what was going on in real life.  The only problem was the movie came out some 20ish years before Jeffs got there.  

In the documentary, they kept saying Warren Jeffs did this, and Warren Jeffs did that, and I was thinking, "That was just like the movie!"  At one point, I wondered if Jeffs had actually seen the movie and was patterning his cult after it. 

No matter, it's still a fascinating documentary to watch if you have Netflix.
