Shit Happens

My, what a lucky day! And why if someone may ask? A lot of things had gone wrong in my plant's operation this day (I am an electrical guy...who do electrical stuff.....and fix electrical shit) and I am really, really depleted.  I work on a cement plant and it operates 24 hours a day,  even on holidays like Christmas and Holy Week. Operation has to be restored immediately after a breakdown or else, the company would incur some great losses. Yeah, this plant had been our second home,  a second wife.....and we've learned to live with it, and learned to love it.  Hey, this is our bread & butter.....

Much about that, so last night I was called at my house that a help was needed in the plant to assist some electrical trouble...the liquid starter for the Sepol Fan was abnormally hot. We had to cool it down to restart its operation. But eventually, after it has cool down, then came this error on the restarting,  no feedback signal was coming and it might boil the starter again...shit, what is this crap? Yeah...tweaks here and tweaks there, until it was noticed that the auxillary contact lever of the fan's switchgear is broken. That's it......everything was done, restored and so.....we're back to normal.

This morning, still stuck in my bed....the phone rang, and on the other end was telling me....."come here dude, something's waiting for you and come here fast and I mean really fast, the computers are on the drain again". There was a communication timeout between the digital control of the plant and one of its subsystem.......a network error.  I had to rush and think what was going on and what could have been wrong. After some time of exerting some brain drains, all's well.....back to normal. The boys are happy and the bosses are happy....the operation is restored, whew.......


Now I was asking my men, "who the hell is the "cursed" around here, and who could have fooled around with a hooker last night? (of course that was only a joke..........shit happens). Yeah, we're lucky.

The Culprit:


PS....(5:00 PM)

My wife called....our 5-year old son, Angelo was bitten by a loose dog from the neighborhood.  Man, I had to rush home, drive my son to a nearby hospital for some medications......dog bites shouldn't be neglected. Thrice, I was also a victim of dog bites & had to undergo 25 + 25 + 6, 56 shots to sum it all (awww...that's hurts). Going back to my son, well....he was jerking too much during the first injection (anti-tetanus) then after a while, the second shot. What a pity. Tomorrow, he has to absent himself from school for the first of five anti-rabbies shot..... lol! Man, was I very mad upon learning the news, why him of all people....damn that dog!

Moral lesson.....never trust a dog.....any dog. They bark hard and they bite hard. Tell me, are they still man's best friend? I don't think so, they're not that friendly afterall. They still got those beast/killer instincts within, waiting to be unleashed, a dog is still a dog no matter what, I tell you.

Dudes, better have a pet fish (mind you, not a shark...but a joker fish....like "
Nemo").
"Ah, please Lord....give me a good day tommorow. No worries, no inhibitions, no bickerings, no deep shit....just peace of mind I ask You"!
