Anyone have a spare generator?
July 12, 2005
Quite the "eventful" day. This morning went well, but everything changed about 2pm. We had another computer glitch that stopped the plant mid-cycle. The operator, Dimitri did everything correctly up to the point where he misread the computer (it’s in English) and added the wrong product. This caused a double batch to fall into the mixer and overload the electrical. From there it went downhill. Let me tell you that a double batch in the mixer is not a pretty sight, and sucks to clean out 5 cubic meters of of concrete!!!
We over loaded the generator set and caused it to shut down the office and workshop. This wouldn’t be a huge problem, but before I got here, the same thing happened and they burned up their spare generator.
This started a parade of people running up to the batch plant demanding an explanation. All I could say is that it was a mistake. Thank God we didn’t damage the generator or I would have shut the whole operation down.
I’m pooped and I’m going to bed.
Love you,
Tae
P.S. I put on a pair of jeans today and out of the pant leg came a bounce fabric sheet. Thanks for the loving reminder.
