You wouldn't think that losing power for a handful of seconds would cause a lot of problems.
Unfortunately, in a manufacturing facility it is very bad news to lose power for any amount of time...why, you ask? Well because everything resets and makes a big mess to have to get going again...when I say a big mess I mean it took us 3 hours to get everything figured out and going again last night at work after the crazy storm came through. Craziness I tell ya!
On top of that, we got to hand-stack pallets because the palletizer (machine that so neatly organizes the cases to go on pallets correctly) was not working. Hand-stacking pallets is not good for a person's back, no matter how young or old you are. I thought I was kind of in decent shape and wouldn't really be sore today when I woke up...wrong...very wrong indeed. Ouch. That's all I have to say about that.
On a super cool note though - during this 3 hours of getting everything up and going again, the four people I work with and I had a super duper God converstaion. It was great! Especially considering the night before that was horrible and I was extremely discouraged and finding it incredibly hard to put a smile on my face and try to cheer them all up. Just further proof that God answers all of our prayers, sometimes in an instant which I think is absolutely amazing! I think it was God's way of saying, "This is why I have you here for the summer Natalie."
My little cousin Kody is graduating from Preschool tonight...this makes me want to cry...my kids (I call my little cousins my kids - I'd claim em!) are growing up entirely too fast on me!
