    Foil

    Lets talk about foil. *gag* so far I haven't had to do cans which is a blessing, even though they let 3 people go and I'm low man on the totem pole I'm working alongside the vets and haven't been assigned to cans (falls to knees in gratitude). However, today the boss wanted a bail of foil. I decided I'm going to tell dad PLEASE don't save me your foil unless its clean.

    Two guys helped me which was a blessing and let me tell you (as I'm gagging in retrospective memories) -folks, if you recycle your foil PLEASE clean it first! foil that has been sitting outside dirty with bees buzzing, sun shining and rain falling on it for months at a time is freaking NASTY!!!

    Anywho, got the foil bailed and just when I think the bail is almost ready...nope, the inside boss comes and says that the last gaylord of foil looking stuff (to us) was actually MLC (mixed low copper). Well kiss my ass because now I have to climb in the bailer and pull it all out. Blech blech blech. Dude, YOU said that gaylord was part of the foil bail!! *Grumble grumble toil and trouble!!*

    Guy on the other bailer comes walking by and says ''thats pretty nasty isn't it?'' Well kiss my ass again and just go back to your own little corner Mr. Funny Man!

    Good news: Dumped my first load of scrap into a roll-off today and DIDN'T drop the bin into the roll-off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm like a tow motor maniac now, I get on one just to move it around a couple feet or drive the yard looking like I'm on a mission lmao!!

    On the other hand, the wall they built on the lower half of the building going out the big garage door is minus some drywall. I figure that wasn't MY fault since they shouldn't build a wall so close to the garage door (inside) where gaylords are stacked and pressed in very closely on the way out. Way I figure it, if I have to lift the bin I'm carrying since I can't see past THEIR gaylords and still can't see those stupid walls are fair game for coming down. Right? RIGHT??!!! someone back me up here!!!!!!

    Man I'm loving this job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
