Hey Hellrider....I'm doing both kinda....I basically shop for jobs throughout the shelves and throw what I want into the cart! lol! And then I go into the sand blast room

and I stand at a machine looking through glass and arms in sleeves with gloves,foot on pedal and I grab a nozzle thats conected to a hose and sand blast parts

in a steel basket.  Then when I'm finished I fill out paperwork,scan these jobs on the computer to thier designated areas and then find something else to do..ect..

So I guess I'm standing in one place half the night I'm there.  When the company picks back up business...I will be put back to my original area wich is "Shot Peen".

Over there,I am not at a machine,I'm loading parts onto a huge cast steel wheel and a bedroom wall sized steel door and shut the wheel inside the machine..

and I operate the RPMs on a control panel but look at paper work to see how high the RPMs I need to hit to achieve the designated intensities.

I can't wait until I get back to Shot Peen...thats where I've been for the last 13 years untill last September when things got really slow and then I was

put back into sand blast but at least I didn't get laid off!! They told me they will put me back into Shot Peen when the work comes in no problem

so I'll just have to tough it out...but I'm not whining about it,I'm glad to be working....its gravy anyways!!

Well....at my company they simply "do not care" about thier employees or thier employees concerns about "anything" let alone the scorching heat!   When i walked in the shop tonight at 4:15pm it was 104 degrees!!!  In my area where I work the temp. said 109 degrees!!!  I was drinking water and sweating it out as fast as I drank it!! And I didn't check to see how much humidity we had...I know it was up there......... Its different for people that live in lets say..."Las Vegas" where Deep Freeze lives.........down there it may be 110 degrees  but its a dry heat and not as much humidity as there is in Seattle......so when it hits over 100....its a fuckin bitch!!!  And it was tonight!! Oh man!!!  At least I nutted up and went in.......my paycheck will not be short!!! lol!        Becks wrote:   Blegh, in that case a winter day is definitely called for where you are! LOL! That's way too hot to work in I reckon, lol. Are there not rules against working in such heat? I think here that if the temperature goes over 35degreesC then workers are meant to be sent home or something like that, cos it's too hot to work safely.      J.D. DIAMOND wrote:   LOL! I wish it were a cruddy winter day here Becks,today its a record breaking 101 degrees in Seattle with who knows how much humidity! And I'm off to work right now where in the shop it will be 110 degrees!! And I'm wearing a respirator as well! lol! I'm going to sweat my arse off today and I will be miserable just like it was yesterday!! lol!      Becks wrote:   Morning everyone! Another cruddy winter day here by the looks LOL!
