Safety Awards

Today the good folks at Colorado Energy Management here in beautiful Brush, CO celebrate 3,000 days at the ManChief facility with no lost time accidents. We are also going to celebrate over 2,000 days at the Brush facility without a lost time accident. As an award, there is going to be a Cajun boil along with a gift ceremony. I have been excited for the Cajun boil for about two weeks now. I don't know what it is, but shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn and a whole lot of seasoning just does something to really make me smile. The issue I ran into today was my office mate doesn't seem to agree with me. She came in complaining about how she was going to McDonald's because she is allergic to seafood. (How she ate the crab legs at the Christmas party is beyond me...this is true because I was sitting right next to her). She also went on to say that "everybody" would rather have steak instead of this stupid Cajun boil. I told her not everybody, because I am tired of steak for every celebration and would rather have this. She then changed her statement to, "only a handful of guys want this". I then told her that everyone I talked to was pretty excited. She just looked at me with the 'ol evil eye, said, "Well, to each their own", and stormed out of the office. It should be a pretty pleasant day today...maybe she will stay in the warehouse? We are also going to be receiving North Face jackets today. Each employee got to select their own jackets from the North Face website (there was a pared down list for CEM folks of about 20 jackets) and that is our safety gift. I chose a $300 coat that I am very excited to receive. There are days that I really love this company.

Weight - 207.2 Down 1 pound from yesterday, but who knows how that is going to turn out tomorrow. Karri made a test recipe of a donut from Dunkin' Donuts that they no longer make, and they were amazing. So I had one of those this morning, then a Cajun boil for lunch and chicken enchiladas for dinner. Lets see how self-control holds out today.
