No, it was much more than that.
The other brazer hadn't shown up, so I was over there by myself. The first thing I had to deal with was an order that the shift we aren't allowed to hold accountable for anything had brazed up wrong. I had to straighten that out before I could even begin my own work, so I was behind from the get go.
Then, every single order I tried to braze had at least one adapter tube either bent wrong, or missing, or the wrong adapter tube had been pulled-- and don't mean one single leg. I mean the entire order was wrong. There was a point in my day in which I had 4 different orders sitting on the floor waiting for parts to be re-done.
As if that weren't trouble enough, I tried to hang up my brazing tip, and the thingy that is supposed to make the fire stop burning didn't make the fire stop burning. I called Supervisor and showed him. He shook his head and said, "You're being a lot of trouble today."
I said, "I know. Maybe I should just go back home."
He laughed. I didn't.
Since the other brazer hadn't come in, I just hopped on over to her stand and finished the day out there. Shortly after lunch, I finally got an order that seemed to be all there and all correct. Aaaand, the electricity on my stand went out. It was a circuit breaker -- which tripped three more times before the day was over -- each time requiring a maintenance man to reset it.
By then, I was sure this guy was running around the plant somewhere.
To add injury to insult, a few weeks ago, I bought some new work boots. I'd been wearing them around the house and today I decided they were broken in enough to wear to work.
I decided wrong.
By the end of the day, my feet hurt so bad, all I wanted to do was shuck those boots and sit down. But I didn't. I actually went into town and bought my paint.
Then I came home and ate half a bag of Hershey's kisses for supper.
Because it's just been that kind of a day.
