I was reprimanded a couple years ago.

The corporate HR person, when she gave me the "Letter of Reprimand", had "churlish" noted in it several times!!!

Well, I'm cramping up from the heat and sweating. So much for those magnesium/calcium pills I was told to take. I just had a coffee and had to pry my finger off because it cramped up around the handle.

They had a water cooler there but I can never seem to drink enough to prevent this from happening. I'll wake up tonight with the muscle behind my knee in a huge knot for 15 minutes.

Either that or I'm having a stroke.

This is going to be a trip for the customer to get these corn heads off the truck. It took a big fork lift and a small crane together to lift them up. I'm going to have to call and give them a heads up.

I can't believe I'm not adding any oil to my truck anymore. Those leaks must have been a lot worse then they looked. I'm lucky to put a quart in every 6,000 miles. I have a Detroit so blow by is a given. Now I'm assuming blow by is oil burning up but if that's the case then I would expect to add more oil than I am now????

I can just see Obama now sitting with his head down in his hands saying, can I have a do over on my VP pick.....I am so screwed.

You should be drinking Power-aide or Gator-aide along with water. Apple juice works too! You needs electrolytes.

The sports drinks are OK BUT remember for every quart of a sports drink you drink you need to drink a GALLON of water. Sports drinks can be dangerous if you dont drink water with them. Sports drinks are not allowed on our job site at all because of this. They have an ice machine and water available for us at all times.

Maybe those pills did work, I didn't wake up and get all cramped up like I normally do after a day like that.

A corn head is one of those big things with wheels of teeth and sides that fold out and a shoot. It runs through the fields of corn and shoots out the ears.
