Currently Listening The Eagles Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 By The Eagles see related

 Some people wear it will, others don't.  We had a safety meeting at work this morning.  It was about a 20 minute meeting crammed into 45 minutes.  So during the Q&A time, people were stretching the questions and repeating and doing all they could, so we wouldn't have to go back to work.  One guy is notorious for asking questions that show a remarkable lack of intelligence.  Now keep in mind that my medical knowledge is limited to whatever I can find out on WebMD.com.  This particular meeting is a safety meeting.  This guy started telling a story about when his wife was in the hospital.  The nurses kept coming in every two or three hours taking blood.  Day and night, they took his poor wife's blood.  Then she got more sick and had to go to the ICU unit and they had to give her more blood.  Well, it was obvious to him that the reason she had the turn for the worse was that she had low blood!  I understand blood pressure and white blood cell counts.  Those are blood measurements that can be low.  But would low blood be a reason to get your blood level topped off and back up to normal levels?  Is there a dipstick that can be pulled out and it has a line that says, "Add one pint," and where would that dipstick be?  I hope I never get low blood.  It sounds serious.

I work at a plant that makes paper products.  We make boxes for bakery items and donuts and garments.  We even make boxes for Baskin Robbins cakes.  We get the occasional paper cut.  In the worse case, I would hope at least someone could apply a tourniquet before I got low blood and died.  Did I mention this sounds serious?

The main topic of our meeting was lockout and tagout procedures.  The idea is to make sure all forms of energy or eliminated so repairs can be done.  If a machine suddenly started up with an arm or leg in or under it then low blood might happen every quickly.  Or maybe low blood might be a minor problem at that point.

I might finally get my hair cut tonight.  It is about time.  The guy who cuts my hair has been busy.  I bet I will get a few stories along the way.  I can't wait.

Still not sure about work tomorrow night.  Early word is we won't have to work.  Early words are usually wrong.  The rest of the plant is working.  Time will tell.  One guy graduates from a local seminary with some type of a Master's degree in Bible.  He is looking to leave in four months or so for China.  He has considered several missionary boards and he has pretty much decided on one.  He has been asking my advice.  Is that scary or what?  Last night he even said I brought a couple of good ideas he needed to consider.  If I am any type of a source of wisdom he has bigger problems than asking me for advice.  I hope all works out for him.  We had breakfast one day with Doc.  I told him that Doc was on the boards of a couple of Missions and he might have some advice.  Now that is a source of wisdom.

If you want wisdom from me, I should probably just read you a passage from Proverbs.  May is a good month for a chapter in Proverbs a day since it has 31 days.  I like the way I can figure out where I goofed up.  Hindsight is 20-20, especially through the lens of Proverbs.

I think I may have some resolution to my Amazon.com order situation.  I posted an email asking the where and why and got a courteous reply.  So I will receive my stuff in the next couple of days.

I am looking forward to having the last work night of the week tonight.  This weekend will be a big laundry weekend!  I can't wait.  Maybe I have anticipation issues?
