Good Night

Good night.

Yes, I'm aware that it's not even 7pm yet. And yes, I'm even aware that it's 80 degrees and sunny out.

I have to be in at work tomorrow at 3:30. In the morning. We're running welding trials for the new Camry Hybrid, and since we can't interfere during normal production hours, we chose the 4am-6am timeslot. Doesn't seem unusual at all, not one bit.

You might be saying, "Hey, Justin, quit complaining, you'll get out of work at lunch!" And I'll say, "Lunch? Ha! What about my 4pm meeting? It's sure as hell not going to run itself!" Odds are I'll probably hit you in the shoulder or flick you in the ear. Really hard.

I'm heading for a 60+ hour work week, which really doesn't bother me. I've got nothing much better to be doing anyway.

Here's a true story for you:

Last week I drove my supervisor to pick up his car from the shop (an hour away). You see, his belief is that as a car ages, it can go longer without an oil change. So, being the strict believer he is, he drove well over 20,000 miles (possibly 30,000, he didn't remember) without an oil change (Please keep buying Toyotas). Long story short, he needed a new engine.

Anyway, on the drive to the dealership to pick his car up, we were talking about work, drinking, the usual stuff a co-op and his supervisor talk about. Here's the dialogue, see if you spot anything unusual:

Supervisor: Yeah, you should come over to my bar this weekend, we'll have a good time.
Me: Yeah, definitely, we've been meaning to for a while now.
Supervisor: Mmm, yeah.(30 seconds of silence)
Me: So what's going on with the fuel tank installation?
Supervisor:Yeah, I ain't sure, it's, it's.................................
(I look over to him)

The man fell asleep midsentence. So while I'm in disbelief, wondering how he could have done that, he shakes a little bit (usually involuntary) and wakes up. And he changes the topic! I spent the rest of the ride just in complete awe. What a piece of work.
