Well we broke the new guy the other night. Yep, he didn't ask for assistance when lifting a huge steel box and tore the muscles away from his elbow in his arm. He will likely be out now for a long time, he goes in for a MRI Friday and after that they will probably schedule surgery unless they try rehab. I doubt rehab would work but what do I know? I only would have asked the guy in the office for help lifting a hundred pound steel box that's four feet long and two feet high!
Sheesh, now we are down another man and they won't replace him. One had several surgeries including a liver transplant, another just had his second shoulder surgery after the first surgery failed, and now the new guy is down. That leaves us with six people with one of those on nights. Five on days and one on nights to keep up with ten docks of aircraft, ground power, flight line, and base shops.
Sigh...we keep busy and I'd rather be down men than be out on the street looking for work. It's all about perspective.
