So there's a bunch of random stories that have happened that I just want to get jotted down. The other day I thought was going to be awful. I started out by pulling ash at work. The boiler had been down and so the ash was really bad. Basically if the boiler is down then stuff doesn't burn well, and then the ash is really hot and clumpy and hard to pull. So it was like that, and as I was pulling it, it got clogged. Not a big deal, it happens a lot. So I was using this rake thing to unclog it. It got pulled up into the machine, wrapped around the clinker grinder, and got stuck. They tried to get it out with an electric jack, with a hammer by trying to bang it out the other way, and ended up having to cut it out with a welding torch. I felt like an idiot, but everyone said things like that happen all the time, so it wasn't a big deal.
The other day I signed up for extra work, so I didn't know what exactly I was going to do. They ended up having me move sand bags all day. It was the hottest day they'd had all month, and there was 95 percent humidity. It was crazy. I ruined my favorite Neil Diamond shirt :( Super upsetting. I ended up working 16 hours that day.
Tomorrow I get to go to Minneapolis. I'm stoked! I'm going to a Twins game, to the Minnesota Institute of Arts, the Mill Museum, the Aquarium, Legoland :), and the Mall of America for sure. I don't know quite what else I'm going to be doing. I guess just whatever strikes my fancy. :) But I'm really excited about it!
