Again it felt good going to work while the temperature was at the Freezing Mark rather then Belowand there was no ~~Windchill~~. Travelling down the Drive was very picturesque seeing the Detroit Skyline reflected perfectly on the river.

After my usual Morning Walk Around I returned to the Maintenance Compound and working on Carriers. It wasn’t long when Kharen shows up telling me that I’m working on the wrong Carriers. I was ready because all week I start with the Carrier he focused on then move to another and another until I’ve inspected all the Carriers before starting over. He almost turned in spot before pointing to the one group saying they are coming out of the Ovens bent. I make certain they are straight and Heat distorts metal.

I mentioned that the Line Workers could easily put the damaged Carriers aside and I would gather them every Fifteen Minutes. He said I should be standing at the Line inspecting them myself. Kharen didn’t like it when I reminded him that he chewed me out for doing that before.

He quickly changed the subject saying he couldn’t find any 3/4” Metal Pipe Fittings last evening. I walk right to them. Then he said they should be in the Compressor Room before storming out of the Compound. (That !@#$%has a Control Issueand can’t except that people can think for themselves.) Taking it as an order I spent the remainder of the day moving Fittingsand organizing them in the Compressor Roomand watching that there were no Carriers in need of repairs.

I was still feeling worn out at lunch but not as bad as yesterday. Kathy told me to slow down and not overdo it. She agreed with the Control Issue.

Another thing about Kharen is he expects everyone to pick up after him and if you leave a Toolon a job that you are still working on he’ll berate you for it. On my Morning Walk Around I spotted the same Ratchet Wrench and Socket that has been sitting on a job he is doing on the Mezzanine since Monday. When I walked into the Compound at 3:00 there were Two Pipe Wrenches on the Workbench that had been previously hanging on the rack. (He’s a Slob.)

It wasn’t long after I got home that Kathy started cooking supper. She sauteed Potato Slicesand Salmon Fillets then topped it off with Carbonated Juice.
