So! Interesting day at work today.. two fire trucks and a rescue team were called in at 6:30am..
My co-worker and I work our regular shift from 6am-3pm, because that is when the shop is open in my plant, and we’re doing a lot of work involved with them instead of just in an office. So we get to work and are checking emails and going over the list of things we have to do today and a blaring horn signaling a fire sounds out of nowhere in a near silent office. Most of the full time employees just think it’s a drill or were joking around with each other like “what did your line do to start a fire?!” When the trucks actually showed up two minutes later, we all started to get confused since we didn’t think there was actually a potential fire in the building. After roll call and a few more minutes of waiting we were waved back inside by the head firefighter. Apparently, a fluorescent bulb had a “burnt ballast” (I’m still trying to figure out what that means) which caused the fire alarm to go off. You’d think in a plant that manufactures electrical products, that a “burnt ballast” would be the last thing to cause trouble..
The rest of the day went well though. I’m actually starting to get into my projects today, making rough drafts of meetings, visual boards, and just keep learning more about my line! :]
