I'm cold and I'm wet and I'm just plain scared!
And yesterday was going so nicely too...
After an easy day on the road; no drama, no awkward loads, I got back to the shop. There was one local pick-up to do from a welding shop we use a great deal.
Long story short. They loaded me with about 4 tons of material, most of it these U-shaped constructions made from a heavy baseplate and two 4" wide round bars. One of the pallets they loaded was not wrapped, and stacked pretty high. On the way back over, my load shifted so I couldn't lift it with the forklift. So we had to manually restack these damn things onto a new pallet to lower the load.
In the pouring rain. It took an hour and a half, and since the rain suits hadn't been issued yet, I was soaked to the skin. Needless to say, I called![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kshandra and we went out for a nice hot dinner.
I'm amazed I didn't wake up with pneumonia.
