***UPDATE***
Dammit, this was not the post i wanted to make, but it's looking like i have to withdraw from my first Fest attempt.
I have a dayjob, and in order to keep it, it looks like things might get interesting for me. if you wanna continue reading, i'll tell you why.
ok...you decided to read on...
well, i work at a dairy in southern california that provides products to schools, stores and correctional facilities throughout San Diego, Riverside, Orange, and Los Angeles Counties. Based in San Marcos California for 60 years, they built and opened a new facility in Riverside Co in 2008...that's where all the cows and chickens went...no no more cows where i work...they built a highschool on that land instead.
problem is...the new facility is in the middle of a desert. so the health dept paid a visit last wednesday and found what was referred to as a "fly and bug infestastion" to such a degree, that they ordered the entire facility to cease "all storage and transport of milk/dairy products until such time as a properly insulated/permanently refrigerated structure could be built." so the facility (except for the milking of the cows of course)...has been shut down completely. so this past weekend, 24 drivers, worked for 16 hours each driving ALL the peoduct they had at that facility down to ours...
what this means to me? well, it takes our crew 8 hours to load 27 trucks at the location where i work. now, we're expected to load 40-45 trucks. so as my foreman put it..."12-16" hour shifts for the 4 months it's expected to make the necessary improvements to our new facility.
why do i stay? the insurance is absolutely amazing. i just had a baby about 3 weeks ago. practically for free. that's why.
it's a thriller allright, but i'll be too tired to make a movie about it haha.
i was really gonna try to give this my all, but it's not gonna work. i have a family. Sorry guys.
-Chris.
poster soon.
my first fest...might as well be this one.
please stay tuned. if possible.
