[QUOTE="Loufan, post: 681241"] I wrote about this before, it was about this time last year we had this crazy ice storm, well I came into work expecting something crazy to happen and I was right. The power shut off mid shift and they told us to crawl on the primary belt and push all the boxes from Primary to our trucks. It is a pretty good distance a couple hundred feet or more, i am not really sure, there are a bunch of curves and hills and bars where you have to crawl to get around them. I found this very unnecessary, we all knew they had a backup generator, and they were just trying to keep us busy. It may not sound like a hard thing to do, but imagine pushing 30-40-50lb boxes up a hill and under bars around curves. It is actually quite difficult, I was burning up and sweating like crazy in the dead winter, not to mention my back hurt the rest of the week..... and ohhhhh imagine, the power comes on not 10 minutes after we get the boxes done. It was safe to say I was pretty pissed, but what was I gonna do? Could not really argue with my PT sup because it wasnt their orders for us to do it. [/QUOTE]
