Safety Issues
We have been having a few Safety Issues with our Palettes and trucks that are coming in to receiving. One issue is the palettes are too tall and too heavy... We had one of our 3rd shifters get hurt because a box from the top of a palette fell on her head... Not sure how she's doing but she's okay enough to be at home...
Last Night at work we got a Grocery truck that came in with a Palette that had fallen over another palette... It seems that the palette in front was a small, short palette of Diapers... the one behind was taller with heavy stuff on it like bottled water packs. The shrink-wrap came apart and everything toppled over the short palette... when we went to move the palette in front a bunch of boxes fell off on to the truck floor.... so we ended up with Olive Oil all over the truck floor... that was a pain to clean up as it soaked into the wood floor...
As you can see above, the boxes have spilled all over the place behind the palette of Bottled water. We now have to take pictures of this stuff for documentation.. And our Supervisors have to report this stuff to managers and call the warehouses to complain about it as it's a Safety Hazard for us workers... we are always getting huge palettes of freezer foods that are tilting... We may now have to downstack bad palettes so we aren't getting hurt or running a risk of getting hurt if it happens to fall... especially when we have to take the freezer palettes out on the sales floor to get to the Freezer that we store the palettes in.... So we run the risk of it falling on a customer also....
Oh other news at "Wallie World"... The Winning Asst. Manager of our dress up contest will be wearing a french maid costume.... who knows what our Co-Manager will end up dressed as.... They won't be dressing up untill the day after the Asst. Manager comes back from her lil vacation....
Today is one of my days off... I was soooo looking forward to it.. I was soooooooo tired.... I ended up sleeping till about 3 or 4pm... Think it was about a 12 hour sleep.... my usual... feeling better just sore and drained a bit.... I'll be more awake by time mom gets home from work tonight LOL...
Tomorrow we will be in town bowling with Grandma... she's like 82 and on the Senior Bowling League.. though the league hasn't started up again for the year.. but the bowling alley has $1 games all summer so we get to bowl with Grandma and some of her friends from the league... it's fun even if they beat out pants off LOL... but hey I did have a good day once... I had a 142 game.. my highest ever... I'm usually having games between 50 and 70... sometimes I get up to some where in the 90's. I'm getting better at controlling the balls but I can't seem to use anything higher than an 8 lb ball...I've tried a 10 lb but I end up hurting my wrist and my balls always go in the gutters... I have muscles but weak wrists.... but I don't care.. I haven't the time or the age for the leagues anyways... Well there are leagues for younger adults but I can't do them cause of work... and Leagues require you to use atleast a 10 lb ball... according to Grandma anyways... I just have fun!!!
Well I'm gonna go play with my Genealogy... I've added a new person to the Family Tree... that's kewl :) I'm trying to get all my notes organized so I can find stuff easier....
Have fun!!

Those palettes do look dangerous. Be careful!
Bowling with Grandma does sound like fun. I'm not very good at all.
Have fun with your notes!
