Long day on Thursday . Had to haul a load of crane mats out to a job . Started loading at 2:00 in the afternoon . So I know that I'll have a big truck in rush hour . Yes the "tude " went south . Boss said you will have all the help you need . Yeah , Heard that before .
Get to the job and the guys that were suppose to help could barely spell crane mats . That meant I was going to have to do a lotta climbing up and down .
I went to pull the chains off the load and so I could put them away when one hung up on something . Dummy me didn't go see was it was hung on I just gave it a one handed hard tug . Still stuck . With the "Tude " fully engaged I grabbed it with both hands and yanked the living daylights out of it !!!
It came loose .. Like a freaking rocket and hit me square in the mouth . If I would have had my mouth open I'm sure I would swallowed half of the dang thing . Direct hit with the hook . Hurt bad enough that I didn't think to cuss .
Just shows what being upset will get you . Stomach churned for a bit . But amazingly I wasn't upset anymore . The goofs on the job asked if I was ok ..... Damn , They saw everything . " Yeah , Just a knowledge knot "... " I know not to do that again ''
I'm sure your asking "why would he put something like this out there ? It makes him look like an Idiot ." Well I could let everyone believe the older guys are good enough that stupid stuff does not happen to them But That is so not true .
Maybe you will remember this when the pressure on so you don't do something as silly or when it does happen to you will know that your not alone .
It marked my normally pretty face
