Mothra & Renfield

8:34:03 PM

but i did feel bad about it but .. i saw my whole life flash before my eyes.. i didn't know what to do.. so i ran.
but anyway we got the thing straightened out and situated and the books were ok.. it was who ever stacked the things like they did..
that was at fault.. it could have been stacked better then what it was.
but for some strange reason i do miss it there. had lots of fun. but it was not fun getting runned over by a forklift
a friend of mine ran over my left foot with. i have 3 small broken bones.. the ones in the center of my foot.
( mental note to my self.... i love rosie big butt. ) And it was always fun to see what kind of temporaries would come in there
from time to time.. some of the craziest, trippiest people you would ever wanna know. it was my home .. kinda
being in a big warehouse type of thing. with more dust and dirt than a vacuum cleaner flying around.
and the oppressive heat in the summer.. and the heat in the winter. i loved binder 2. it was my freedom.
the time went by fast.. we did millions and millions of books.. occasionally id get a bundle in the wrong place but who didn't.
that is my moment.. still on binder 2 with Ramon Guavera who never helped me stack the skids.. but he would race me getting them stacked.
he would try to beat me getting them stacked.. but would not help me stack mine after he got his done. he was a trip.
he is from Chihuahuah Mexico.. but he was ok. he gave me a key chain he had.

it was always fun to make fun and pick on the original gorilla her self... Don knows who i mean...
with out even thinking about it even.. say the word gorilla and she comes to mind
and it brought about the Introduction of " Mothra & Renfield, Inc " .
during the lull.. at work like the winter time and when things were slow.. one time
they only had 9 people show up for work in the bindery.. and i had to walk then from applegate
to work which was about 2 miles .. took about an hr or so which in my car if i would have had it
then would have taken only like... 10 or 15 minutes.

One time paul was standing at the end of binder 2, we all was just waiting for the sample nooks to come out before we started the job.
i was there too with a rubber band playing with it and it went off and hit paul in the face while he was looking at .. or rather reading some thing.
i didn't mean for it to go off but it flew out of my hands. he got all riled up.. he started to come after me but i eluded him.. so the rest of the day i didn't say not one word to him..but then eventually things were ok.

 and the time wilber almost had that steak and beer party at his house he did not know about,... i made up a little fake sign up sheet and hung up up in 2 places.. advertising wilber going to have a steak and beer party type thing at his house.

 but i didn't know half the plant was going to be dumb enough to sign up for it.  hehehe... wilber was  not too happy about it.. every time hed see me and don hed give us the finger and call us some obscene name, but then after a while  like about a week or so he settled down . but he didn't mind getting other people into trouble but when it was done to him he didn't like it.. anyway the reprocutions are not that bad atleast no one showed up at his house. and during the time of the temperarys  they would have come in from time to time they all would go into the break room at the same time .. it looked like a herd of cattle being driven from texas to montana.

and don said  there goes allot of beef into the break room. that was from about '96 to '97 then they stopped   the  temporary  thing in in 2000 some thing like that.

 but they had some far out spaced ones.. one was steve macknight he was maybe no more than 4 ft tall, maybe 4 and a half, he has a permanent nickname now..

 " king of the little people " he would sit at binder 3 and comb his hair as he was trying to keep the books straight as they was coming out  & he would fall asleep ...

allot of them who came in there acted like they was better than everyone else..

 sometimes. .. one girl there was a real pisser the only other person worse than tammy barnes was  that  ( now Fat )  Mindy Laur.  she  was all skinny looking and when it would rain  she could hide behind the rain drops  but anyway she was a nasty little minks.  and the time of  " the great donut bring in "  one time

 old bigger then big - big judy brought in like  a plater of doughnuts..

 and had them sit at one of the tables on the  at the mono i  believe and ofcorse there was the ripps  working over there , mike and tina and we know who took the most of them..i only had i  believe three thats all there was like 40 or 50 all together i guess.. but later she stormed out from  the back and demanded that i give her some thing like $ 7  for eating all her donuts..  i did not she came out and said  " every body back there said you got all my donuts!!"   ( every body  being maybe 2 or 3 people who didnt know they head from a hole in the ground. )  i only had 2 or 3 n and not at the same timewe all know who did it and the ripps  acting all inocent like they dont know whats going on .. we all know tina had them. between her and mike. but anyway. and kevin fox.. and concieded son of big judy.. well no actually he was ok... when he was not there. .. but there was one time i was  going to move a skid of the cardboard into they place to be opend and used he come along and pushed me out of the way and  told me to go on that he would do it  .... well and acted like i was a piece of cat food.. well  he had his keys  laying on the table there where his stuff was..

 and at the right moment he was away from the spot  i think the bathroom or the break room .. and  i got them.. and eventually worked them back to the area where the trash goes, when i took the trash cart to empty  the keys found them selves in the cart too...and but i did not actually see where they went ( as my eyes were closed )  as they apparently went in with the other trash.. which was literally the truth when i said i did not see where they went.. i told shirley  about it she saw him push me away from the jack.

anyway i don't know if they ever got the keys back or  was able to get more apparently she did because she ran into some one in the fog a few years later one night.

And jeanne Powers for a time was having a thing with the one new trimmer operator i think his name was brian a short time after he started therewhen gladfelter was there. i heard them talk about it in the break room once..

 brian asked jeanne if melvin knew about them yet.

Then there was bill gross,  he ran into things with the forklift like one thing was one of the pillars with the concrete around it that supported the roof.

he got mad and quit  because  mike asked him to  do bundles because  no one was there to do them  he got mad and said no he was not a bundle person.. apparently thats what he did , thats what i heard.

and there was Sidney.. a skinny lank gay black guy that was there .. he could not even lift one empty skid off the floor with out help.

 and steve harvey was having a little thing with barnes even though he said he was not but for a while  he stuck to her like glue .. she had him running.. then was with old ronnie cole for a while.. and big judy was once in cahoots with salvador, , one of the spanish people that was working there.. he was a nice person  he was kinda a old guy .. didn't know much of any english but she took him out on a date and  came back and the next day went around and blab to everyone almost how small his thing was. he probably did not know  what was going on.. he.. he was a good guy i liked him,  and then old lazy jose montoya didn't wanna do anything he kept getting called back to binder 3. And who could forget old Melvin koogle... he was ok  i liked working with him when he was on the binder 2.. i think everyone liked working with him.. one time he ordered a pizza and  gave me the money to pay for it and i brought all the change back to him not knowing about the tip he was supposed to leave with the person delivering. oops.. and one other time i was getting some thing off the table where he was and i accidently  knocked his food off on to the floor.. . but it was only an accident.  he would some times take me home when it was time.. he lived in the same complex as i did at the applegate apartments.

and  tony " the cat Killer " Bailey.. he was  back  running the bailor room and a stray cat wondered in and got up into the bailor machine where the paper goes to be cut up. and

 he said he tried to get it out but it would not come out and he could not  get in there to get it out.. and so i don't know what happened  after that but   then he said he cut  the machine on maybe thinking the cat would  get out but it did not and got  cut cut up and sucked up the shoot the paper goes  . but anyway they fired him and had a big  controversy about that and then about a month later he came back.

The power went out quite a bit and such  and the bailor machines jamed up alot too  when ever too much paper got stuck and some people had to go up on the roof and try to unclog the thing which could take 1 or 2 hrs... ..but other than the normal business  that was supposed to happen..but if normal ever did happen i never noticed it...   anything is normal nowadays.  and when dallas  got his right arm  and pulled it in up to his elbow..  but eventually they got him out of there and took him to the hospital. and apparently amputated it from there.. but anyway that was in .,.  97  i think. but the working conditons there was less than tolerable and below the specifications.

then things went back to the regular routine of the place .. then in it was like in 1988.. it had to be they started an ink jet thing  that printed out  the labels that does on some of the books  that went through and got shrink wrapped before they went to the shanklin.

i hated the whole business of it.. either that or some of the people who ran it. anyway  i have not  had a problem with it    but  earl was  one who did   after working at the ink jet for a little while he  got  sick from the ink jet he said  he didn't like it because apparently the thing  put out bad fumes.. that is possible.. but anyway after that he  never got better  ... .. i never known him to be so sick like that  or to  not  be well because of any of the machines in there even with all the sprays and chemicals they got.. but anyway some thing with the ink jet   caused earl to get sick and  he never came out of it and  .. it is one of the main factors  why  he  died.. he never was sick before until after they had him working on that.. anyway its too late to do anything now about it.

but anyway it was July 26, 1999 when he died. oh yes...  and Ralph Hallock  died too.. he was one of the press  operators that was like.... probably 6 yrs ago now.. its hard to believe  its been almost 5 years since 2002, it seems like it was just last year, but anyway.

haha  yes and the time i  made up a little sign and put on the back of wes's truck..

  it said  " i s-ck d-cks "  i could not help it but he did not have any proof that i did it.. but he blamed me for it....  i think...  it hard to tell what that clown was talking about in jamaican.. but anyway he was a no good lazy slouch.. who took things home with him...

he would get up onto a stack of skids and go to sleep..anyway lets try to forget about him.

no one liked him...  the time when john gladfelter was  operating binder 2,

 and some one needed to be down by the glue and use the hand thing to let the glue out onto the books and so they put ben there to do that.. that was a trip  he looked like he was playing the slot machine.. he'd sit there and talk to his invisible vampire friends.  and  they would have enormous conversations and he'd laugh his head off at  whatever it was they was talking about then he'd bring the handle down and let it up and laugh and talk some more...unless he was talking to the machine it self. but anyway it was a riot.

don would always bring the boxes in and every time ben would ask him if they was the right boxes,, don would say.. i don't know. the time lamont bowens wrapped jeff mahonys  forklift up in the plastic wrap.

 and The Mono stopped working. Phil was down at the other end and kicked a can of silicone spray. It flew through the air and landed on the nozzle and sprayed all over Valerie. Her fat butt jumped up in the air and screamed " the binder blew up!! the binder blew up!!!. Don told her what happened and she went onto the office and told John or one of the other dummies. Nothing happened as usual. 

when we found out that we were closing,  John Bolin went in the front office and cried for two days   He came back with red eyes. nosey tammy went up and saw him crying and blabbed it to everyone, like she blabs everything else, but this time it was good., but i hate to see a grown baby cry.
