A cog in the machine...

Den of the Beastly Bear

Hi Folks!

Sad and strange day here at work.

One of the guys that work in my plant on first shift, shot and killed himself today in the plant, in front of his ex-fiancee....which we can only assume was the impetus for today's events.

As second shift came in we were directed to our team room to await final decision on whether the line will run tonight...

40 minutes later...

Official word is "our condolences to the family, grief counselors are in place for those that feel they need it...the line will start in 20 minutes!" Gotta love GM!!!

While we all realize we are just cogs in the machine, nothing brings it home quite so completely as when something like this happens. 

One cog wears out, no problem...replace it with a new one, restart the machine!

*heavy sigh*

Well, time to make the trucks!

Be Well Folks!
