Took a couple pictures from one of my projects on Tuesday. This is looking out the window at a brand new 18 floor building next door. I put the red circle so you know where to look.



*ENHANCE*



This guy crawled over the guardrail on the roof so he could work on the exterior face of the 18th floor. He appeared to be tied off...maybe? Hopefully to an actual anchor point and not just whatever his pelican hook fit around. There are people from another GC doing site work in the space between that building and the one I'm in, in other words, people are underneath him at ground level. The fact that he took his hardhat off so it didn't fall makes me think he probably doesn't have any tools tethered.

edit// Hopefully this worked. Sorry about that last night. For whatever reason imgur doesn't work on Chrome for me so I have to load it in Firefox

I just realized today my facility uses LOTO locks to secure access to electrical control panels.

They have live mains in there so it makes sense they should be locked but shouldn't the loto lock be keeping a breaker open so whoever gas that panel open doesn't get zapped rather than being what keeps random idiots from zapping themselves??


I of course noticed this because the building engineer had it open while the equipment it controls was very much on and operating

I actually did drugs at work once - I was having kidney trouble at the time and had to go to hospital because I though I had a ruptured kidney. I ended up getting a huge dose oral morphine and sent on my way when they worked out it was a muscle spasm due to my electrolytes being all hosed up.

So I wander into my lab job 3 hours late with a huge grin on my face, clearly off my tits and insisting I'm fine now. My bosses couldn't reason with me so I got sent to clean the labs in an opiod infused haze for 5 hours until hometime. That lab was goddamn spotless by the end, I tell you.

there;s some sort of study or article or discipline that is about reducing the amount of warning lights and sounds and poo poo and I can't ever seem to find the right one. Bascially, in hospitals and cockpits turn the number of flashing beepy things down because it leads to alarm fatigue. I think it was called alarm fatigue but it might have had a cooler more specific phrase

I think my favorite military pilot euphemism, was calling the fistful of drugs a pilot sucked down before flight, 'fatigue management tools'.

Worked at a coffee shop when I was still a teen. People would steal/do the nitrous canisters all the time. One girl would take nearly hour long bathroom breaks...come back clearly on heroin. She stole a whole till full of cash one day, plastic tray and all, but somehow didn't get fired, due to some deal with the manager and her. This bored house-wife who started working again for funsies, started banging this college kid regular and told me all about how she tried ecstasy for the first time with him and it was amazing and had opened her eyes! It was a pretty fun job.

I have camera footage somewhere of the parking lot at my job where two pipefitters spent their lunch break railing lines of something off the hood of their pickup truck.

My high scorer for alcohol blew a .24 at 930 am. We had a guy who was more hosed up, but he was in the “too hosed up to breathalyze” zone where he fell down coming in the gate because he couldn’t keep his pants up. His carpool buddy drove him back to his motel room and he called his foreman to apologize for not showing up that morning, he was so blacked out he had no idea he had tried to come in to work. Why anyone even drove him to work in the first place is a goddamn mystery.

Don't know of any drug or alcohol stories off the top of my head. We did have a guy certified through us who broke another worker's back by swinging the crane's ball into his spine when he was on a ladder. He promptly leaped off the crane and fled the city at the very least, as nobody could find him at his home. It's suspected that he would have failed a drug test and ran rather than face consequences.

I used to have a friend who would drink until the point of passing out or throwing up, but it was hard to tell when it would occur because she kept her voice completely normal and even. You would only see problems when she tried to stand up and immediately fell over, smashing her face into something.

I've only been drunk during business hours a few times, and in every case my boss was the one pouring the drinks, but there were definitely a few years where my bong lived on my desk and annoying customers would often get put on hold for a hit.

I've had 2 drinks on lunch before, but the closest I ever come to "work drinking" is I have two coworkers who enjoy whiskey and I've brought small samples for them. Like I once attended a Kaiyo blending seminar and made my own custom blend, and I brought it and gave them about 1 oz. each.

When I worked in sales from home I would usually get a sixer on my lunch break and my sales would steadily climb in the afternoon. I avoided getting all the way drunk but there’s something to the ol’ ballmer curve for some kinds of work.

Not construction, though.

They look like Borrowers.

Edit: probably the dumbest thing I was involved with at work was convincing my coworker to flush his sinuses out (he had a bunch of sawdust in his nose because he'd been sanding without a mask), only we didn't have a neti pot or anything, so we used a watering can and tap water. I had to hold the watering can because the nozzle was so long he couldn't do it himself. Shockingly he had no ill effects from this.

I have done this several times. People who know me recognize that I'm drunk by keeping count of the number of drinks I've had. People who don't know me keep bringing me drinks until I pass out.

I do drink pretty heavily but I'm also extremely careful about my consumption. My body will start feeling nauseous by the time I'm one drink away from too many, so I can always stop myself before I throw up. I've also never blacked out, just fallen asleep quickly when getting home or back to the hotel.

I have to warn people away from trying to go drink-for-drink with me because of how much I'm capable of. I once had 15.5 oz. of rum at a tiki bar opened by my favorite bartenders and still walked myself out to a car. The bartenders there still tell customers about it when they try to brag about their drinking prowess.

NEVER play "Lady of Spain" AGAIN!




My favorite boss ever was the owner of the company I worked for at the time. He was an insane Cajun from the gulf coast of Mississippi, prone to the occasional raging outburst but otherwise charismatic as all hell.

Friday afternoons after hours he’d buy beer and let the employees bring it in (like, people made beer runs on their lunch breaks) and we’d all just chill for an hour or so drinking and shooting the poo poo. It was great for fostering employee morale and bonding.

I really miss that place sometimes.
