I am especially not a morning person when 6:20 a.m. feels like getting on toward lunch time. Also, this day has been seriously Monday so far, including witnessing a near-miss almost T-bone between a speeding fire truck and a distracted late-night driver, at a construction site in an intersection on my way in to work.
At work, already one major and one minor piece of equipment have failed in mysterious ways; well, not so mysterious for the major item: "It was making a sound like a wired pulled too tight, so we shut it down and got the wires out from under it. Then it didn't work when we turned it back on." Ya think? And I can't even think about starting to try to fix until it -- and I -- get clear of the ongoing task, which will run for another thirty minutes at least. Yes, I understand the old horse knew the way home and these new-fangled autymo-biles aren't even smart enough to get lost. Isn't that a good reason to pay closer attention?
It would seem not.
One o'clock seems so very far away.

I love my operators. They always break things in the most interesting ways... :)
Just confirmation that robots and AI will never replace the human element in the workforce.
Plus, always remember that there is no such thing as idiot proof. If a person can build something, than a person can screw it up.
Also, naps are our friend.
Stay safe, and watch for idiots on the road.
Even when the horse knows the way home, that isn't a reason to not pay attention. Not paying attention while the horse went home was how my great-grandfather died (yep, he died "falling off the wagon.")
There's no excuse for not paying attention.
