Separation Anxiety

Ryskless Talks:

I showed up to work one day (harder than it sounds) but I conquered it. “Mondays used to be my favorite day of the week (ask me Y later)” I saw that our field folks are working in the shop for the day (must be rainy outside). I noticed, one of the technicians was looking lost, disturbed, unfocused, anxious. Though I had a meeting (not important), I just couldn’t resist approaching him to talk.

Long story short, he forgot his joule pen, holy water my brain said. In case you don’t know one (1) joule pod is equivalent to a pack of smokes (20 cigarettes & price), people are puffing 3-6 pods a day because it’s safer? We made a deal, “you can leave whenever you think you need to go get the joule, but first I’m going to hang out with you until you think you really need. I promise I won’t let you get hurt while your brain if focused on nicotine.” Agreed, we made it close to lunch time. My 2 pennies quit (try) when you’re on vacation and 99% separated from work (hopefully) and other responsibilities (stress). Tell your partner (family) so they are prepared (they should support the cause). 360 days is better than 365 with nicotine and can save you ~75-150 bucks per year. Then all you must do is double and triple it every day, week, month, year. Business 101.

My story: (cont’d)

Well, after the long black steam engine roll plus a few flights in a sardine can (confined space or not, ask the attendant), I arrived in America (Indiana, Easy Haute) just in time for my eighth birthday. When I arrived, I saw toys…wow, what are these plastic things, are they fisher priced. I really didn’t care what color it is, how long its hair is, or the purpose of them…I just played...with my first(s) toy ever! Yes, it was a barbie car (machine), dolls, and fire trucks. Sue me, but first (sue was the name I gave her) my dad got me a tank, helicopter, and a jeep with a platoon of armed rangers, seals, and spies. But they just kept fighting each other, it was rather boring. We made a mission, shave, get your Sunday military outfits on, gear up and hop in your appropriate transportation machine. Now let’s go pick up all the dolls, I’m sure they are tired of playing house and wouldn’t mind a night, 2, or III out dancing with the coal throwers (titanic). Also, diffuse the bullies (bull dogs…what type are you). 

WHY I do EHS&Beyond, well water, the fuel of this fire is, I personally don’t want children to experience more than 8 hours without their parents around. As Tyler Childers once said, "there’s hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal." Now. Let’s keep our “nose on the grindstone” and focus on the task at hand(s).
