Welcome to Carrier!


Thanks to my favorite uncle James, he landed me a job working for his company as a "Driver" As a Driver I am supposed to deliver parts, tools, vaporizers, oil, refrigerant, nitrogen and other things the Techs need for their job. Unfortunately, something went down at Corporate and they pulled all the trucks. So what am I to do you ask? Well, I'll tell you. My first day of work, I gutted one of the old service vans to make my "delivery truck." The only problem is that I can't transport half the materials the Techs need. So needless to say, I haven't been driving much. So what am I to do, again, you ask? Lend me your ear once more.

Toady to keep my occupied, while not driving, I was asked to build a box for the small nitrogen tanks. (FYI apparently, before I was hired, the company failed a safety audit, small nitrogen tanks must be "contained" so they will not fall over and explode) As I inquired for materials to accomplish this new task, I came to the realization that we did not have materials (wood, screws, nails, drill, saw) So what I had to do in order to accomplish this almost impossible feat, I had to use some of the extra pallets. And when I mean use them, I mean...I USED THEM. Every last bit. I had to carefully disassemble the pallets in order to use the wood, I had to be careful not to bend and distort the nails because I would be using them to put my box together. Luckily I found a saws-all, which hurt more than it helped lol. I also had to screw screws without a power drill. NOT FUN, but the plus side is that my forearms will be
HUGE. After complaining about my story at lunch all my other co-workers laughed and said........Welcome to Carrier!
