Volcott: Mar 30, 2010; People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.

Not OSHA, but I had an electricity-related adventure today. A tree fell on some power lines down the road from my place, something something transformer. This resulted in my house getting some spicy watts, a surge then a brownout. Ended up frying my microwave and dishwasher before I had the good sense to turn everything off at the circuit breaker.

A couple years ago, we had a deal where one phase of power came lose at the pole and fell onto the neutral. Took me too long to figure out the power wasn't "out" before I turned off the breaker box. Every major 120V appliance had to be replaced and I think I'm still chasing down the occasional light fixture that was damaged.

I think I heard one of the firemen say something about a phase. Like, that I was down a phase? Something about half-cycling?

Probably should have written it down, but I was on 3 hours of sleep, and everything will be in the insurance write-up. My table fan woke me up going a gorillion RPM on the lowest setting.

That's par for the course in a warehouse. No one will admit to damaging anything. I used to tell my guys when I was a warehouse manager, "Just tell me if you break something." I don't care, I know it was a mistake, I just need to know. They never would. They were so afraid of being punished, even though I never punished anyone for mistakes, they would clam up.

I once noticed that a security camera had been moved so that it no longer covered an area of high value product. I asked everyone if they had moved it. No, no, no... is all I got. I became paranoid that someone was stealing as the items being covered were small with hundreds of SKUs and would have taken a shutdown to do a physical inventory. The camera was set about 15 feet high on a column so I knew that it would take purpose to move it.

I didn't know what time it had happened, so I had to watch security footage for forever to determine that one of my forklift drivers had nailed the column hard enough to jog the camera over and tried to pretend that it didn't happen. Just loving tell me! I won't punish you! I just need to know. You're not a baby! I won't give you a spanking.

Wildly disproportionate punishments for not telling you when the gently caress up and headpats when they do.

I fuel 737s and thanks for the nightmares. Jesus christ that takes getting degloved into a whole new level.

The indicator lights on 737s are the same orange-yellow hew as basically every standard always-on running light, and the indicator lights blink real slow. Even brand new EMBs use the same indicator lights and it baffles me because the warning lights require so much specific attention to actually notice. How many planes do I drive behind in a day? A loving lot, I cannot be careful enough. I've seen dudes get hit by full-on jet blast but never someone unwittingly get in front of the engines in the same circumstances. Not so nice to see the horrifying results of that.

The APU on jets is very, very loud and creates a visible heatwave just the same as a running engine. Yet I go under the wing with APUs running during nomral fueling procedures all the time. So what you might think would be the 'obvious' sign to watch out for isn't really obvious at all. Not a day goes by where a wingman doesn't wave me forward when the indicator lights of a plane are still on and I just loving sit there while they get frustrated and gesture more frantically before shrugging and turning their back. Not happening man.

What typically happens to dudes who get hit by a full on jet blast?

I'm still trying to figure out how this happened, since they... kinda don't have connectors that can mate. A foley cath (indwelling) typically has three possible ports: a luer-lock screw-top port that requires a compatible adapter for flushing and drawing back fluid, a second luer that inflates the balloon, and a large open rubber tube where the drainage bag hooks up, which is large enough at the opening to jam your finger into if you had some weird reason to do that. I'm guessing that's where the oxygen hooked up, because oxygen hooks up with a slip-tip cath that's not compatible at all with luer systems (for good reason, as we use that system for IV lines). Plus the pt end of any oxygen hookup is like... a mask or a nasal cannula or something, which is COMPLETELY incompatible with a rubber tube.

I just can't figure out what wacko MacGuyver nonsense had to take place to get the two hooked up. Somebody had to work at that. And turn the pressure up to max, or something. I just don't understand HOW

Sounds like he got Hitman: Blood Moneyed, honestly.
