Going on a mission

I love my job. Today, we did laser testing that tattoo part numbers into rubber. The marking is a mirror image of what we want. *crap* I don’t know what to do, but it’s gonna be great coming up with something!! We’re also brining in innovative equipment from all over the place. I had to meet with a sales engineer this morning to run trials during production. The machine, which uses infrared light, glowed so bright at maximum capacity that it seeped through the sides and slits of the heat tunnel. I watched, transfixed, for about an hour. It looked like the space capsule baby Superman (…Superbaby) come to Earth in.

It’s days like today that make me wish I could stay in the automotive industry permanently. Thank goodness for the other days when I can foresee the ulcers, strokes and drinking problems that may eventually arise from the stress of staying in a place like this.

On another note, I am going make bone morrow soup after work. I impetuously bought a bunch of beef bone barrow from Zehrs the other day. Thinking back, chips would have been the smarter impulse item. So now I can’t trust my own judgment and I have all this bone marrow. It would be great if I can stop now, but the recipe requires beets, leeks and cabbage (things I have never even bothered to glace at in a grocery store). I can see it now.

The scene will be my local Zehrs, fresh produce isle. I am on a mission for beets leeks and cabbage. The beets look like purple lumps of doodoo. I poke at them, only to be distracted by gusts of sweet distinguishing scent. I lunge for the fuzzy green bundles of euphoria.
“OH DILL!! Where have you been all my life?” From this day forward, my teeth shall never be seen, without a little green, in between.

But wait… my desire diverges to the colourful rhubarb, the cold and unkind snow peas, the rich fulfillment of a crown of broccoli. All my senses intertwined into one deep yearning, the need for veggies!!!!

O, Wonder!
How many goodly vegetables are there here!
How beauteous growth is! O brave new world,
That has such nutrition in't!

And I shall return home, with my bounty of vegetation in all shapes, colours and form, of which I will make a big salad out of. The soup will have to wait another day.
