I could be on the computer right now, but I consider using my phone to update is way cooler -- for me atleast. Uhh... I've been busy, working about 15 - 20 hours of overtime a week, so I don't have any really exciting news. WAIT... I do. I quite literally almost died at work the day before yesterday. See, all of this overtime work has been taking apart MASSIVE racks in our warehouse and shipping them to Conway where they will be setup for use. These racks are tall... about 20 feet tall to be exact and of course I get to do most of the climbing/up-high work. Long story short I was placed go a large wooden crate and lifted up to the top of the racks where I was popping off and then handing down 16 foot crossbeams. My supervisor came up with the idea of using the box to pop off the beams and then I would finish removing them (popping them off was the hard part, so it really helped). It worked fine until one me the beams became stuck and the fork-lift operator kept raising me. The box erupted in a shower of boards, nails and splinters and then proceeded to pitch forward and the entire contents me the box fell out me the shattered door -- well, all except for me. I made a decision that rate my life (or atleast saved me from being crippled) and grabbed ahold of the fork-lift's mast and leaped out of and then over the box-o-impending-doom. I was then lowered safely to the floor. Exciting huh? Well... that's it for now. ¡I LOVE MY PHONE!
