Eye Candy Friday

There I was, laying in bed snoozing away when I heard the tell tale ding of my phone...

Cody and Brennan have finally moved out of that horrible house they'd been renting for the last three years.  And I'm telling you, it was awful.  Chilly and damp, and the floors were rotten so bad in spots, I thought I was going to fall through a couple of times.  They've moved into an apartment, and Cody messaged me a couple of days ago asking if they could bring me a rocking chair.  

They didn't have room for it, and Brennan didn't want to get rid of it, so I'm getting a new to me rocking chair, at least until they find a bigger place.  And the ding I heard on my phone last night was my beloved son in whom I am not so well pleased at the moment texting me at 10:38 PM letting me know they were going to bring the chair next weekend. 

I said I was going to text him back at 3:30 when I got up for work, but I forgot to.  Lucky him.  

So, anyway, after that I couldn't get back to sleep, so naturally, I picked up my phone and scrolled through Facebook until I got to the end.  Seriously.  I got to the end of Facebook. 



It wouldn't let me scroll any more, and it wouldn't let me refresh, either.  I'm like, Dude, just show me stuff from six weeks ago, like you normally do.  I eventually fell back to sleep, but all of that made it a mighty short night. 

Then, we had a little excitement out at the plant.  I walked over to the computer to confirm an order and one of the parts stagers asked me who had gotten into a fight.  

"Fight?  This is the first I've heard about a fight."  She said that another employee had heard about it on her radio, so I tracked that employee down and asked her.  She told me two forklift drivers had gotten into a fight in the parking lot.  Wow.

One of the other sub brazer's husband drives a fork lift so I told her to ask him if he knew what was going on.  A bit later, she came over to my stand and told me that it was two new guys who were supposed to be going to second shift next week.  So new, her husband didn't even know their names. 

Then one of the brazing trainers came in and said that when the security guards called the police, one of the guys took off walking down the road and made it about 1/2 mile before the cops showed up.  That's all I know, except that the whole time, I had this image in my mind of them fighting with their forklifts like they were on bumper cars or something...

And finally, I remembered your Eye Candy Friday today!  


 Yay for me and for clover.
