I've mentioned before that there is one tetra supervisor on third shift who is basically amazing and I adore him. I don't know exactly what happened, but that wonderful man lost his job recently. The tetra department and the plant as a whole have suffered a huge blow, even if they don't know it.
I never told this story on here, because it's less effective with initials rather than real names, but it is absolutely ny favorite thing that ever happened.
One day, MH and I stayed after our shift to deal with some low solids at the end of a horizon run. The warehouse people had pulled the last pallet for us, and it was already being gone through by some of the tetra staff. We went over there to find paks from earlier times to test. The tetra supervisor, GW, was there with one of the filler operators. While we were looking, GW yelled at the filler operator in such a way that I not only felt guilty, but kind of wanted to run away and cry, even though he was not addressing me. I'd never seen him angry before.
A few minutes later, MH was in the lab talking to another lab tech (incidentally also initialed MH) while doing the testing and I had run out to grab some more paks. When I walked back in, GW was standing just inside the door of the lab, but where the other MH couldn't see him. Our beloved MH had just asked her if she'd ever seen GW get angry. The other MH said, loudly, as I walked in to the conversation knowing exactly what they were talking about and that the man in question was standing well within earshot, "why, did he scream at you?"
Trying to cover and subtly gesture that he was standing right there, I said, "who, DK?"
And the other MH, in her greatest moment of glory, said, "No, GW!"
It saddens me that this will never be funny again.
