Just spent the last 14 days doing some army stuff. I spent 4 days learning advanced buddy first aid. Things like neddle decompression and other blood stopping techniques.
From there I went to camp perry, the home of the NRA national championships. Our mission was to get qualified on our M16s or AR15 for the civilians. We also competed in a rifle and pistol match which took place at the same time. Our instructors were from the Army reserve Marksman Unit. These guys compete around the world. My instructor is a Presidents 100 award winner.
We closed out with a 24 hour training evolution which I did not want to do. I don't like doing paintballing and that's what we did but using military tactics. I ended up with poison ivy and 3 blood welts. Not really enjoyable. Anyhow I got a few days off till I start working next week. Now I need to get caught up.

Are you one of those fidgety fellas that has to be doing something all the time?
I know I can be that way sometimes, but there are times I just want to zone out,
and not do a damn thing too. Lol

I have moments where I just want to chill. But when I have been "chilling" for two months because my company can't keep business coming in, it gets old fast. And they just tried to make me drive a truck leaking methanol on the muffler. Time to start filling out applications. I give myself two weeks to turn in my notice here. This company has done what I needed it to do and that's get my experience back in a truck. Now it's time to get a real job.

Well, I was pretty much fired today. We will see how it goes tomorrow. This has to be the WORST company that I have worked for. From making (or trying to) you drive unsafe trucks with hazardous material on board to doing unsafe tasks while out on site, someone is going to get killed here. I'm really surprised someone hasn't been seriously hurt or killed yet. Like today, at the end of my shift, two other guys (the two "foreman's" lmao) replaced a seal because I would not load flammable liquid on the truck with this thing dripping, and when I flushed the pump out, it was GUSHING OUT!!! All over the muffler!!! Such friggin moron's!!! I just want to make sure I'm not the one that ends up in the hospital or worse, even if it means no time here on the site...

Yeah best thing to do on that is get out! Doesn't do any good to say anything to EPA, state safety board or any of those groups, it's company rules the day till something happens then your the one they point a finger at and say "well why were we not informed of this?"

I started the newest job today. I will be cutting vinyl for Avery Dennison. My actual job is to cut the vinyl from a bulk stock role to a customer set size. I will not be anywhere near the printing portion of the vinyl work. Just cutting and rerolling.

What sucks is, this driver is the ONLY one there that I actually like. He is the only one that is an "actual" truck driver. Everyone else would rather be driving automatics and having their stuff loaded and unloaded for them... Him and I would rather work our butt of because that is what we are used to doing.
