  • a "Hail Mary!" catch

    Or, more likely, a "Thank GOD I caught it" catch.
    We have a new guy in the paint department. It's his 3rd day on the floor. I'll make another post on him later.
    Anyway, I was showing him where the exterior paint was that he needed for a customer's job. It was on the top shelf, about 6 feet up, on top of another one gallon can.
    He grabs the top can, but didn't quite lift it high enough. The can below it started to fall. To me, it happened in slow-motion.

    I saw it falling. I reached out with my right hand and caught it, about halfway to the ground.
    Good thing I have big hands.

    If that can took a splat, it would have made a HUGE mess.

    Another crisis averted by your friendly neighborhood Knightmare!
    Age and wisdom don't necessarily go together. Some people just become stupid with more authority.
