    What happened.

    Saturday I worked a hell of a double shift.
    I swapped the pendant that controls a robot arm to a spare pendant, to another spare pendant, repaired the 1st pendant, swapped it back into the system because the 2nd was failing, but by that time, the robot arm dropped down, causing the shroud (a 6 foot tall straw) to drop down, liquid steel streaming onto the robot arm welding it.

    This introduces oxygen into the mix.
    Which causes the chemistry of the supergrade steel to change, causing the entire ladle of steel to become scrap... unsellable.

    Turns out, somebody didn't tell the robot arm to go up.
    So they're trying to lay blame, and prevent future occurrences.

    And the blame falls where...................? Hopefully not you, you run a pretty tight ship.

    That sounds like an expensive error, Act.

    Not me..
    Ancient system
    Lack of spares
    And an operator that actually caused the damage by not moving the robot arm up.
    All my stuff just meant I worked my as off.

    The steel just gets recycled back into the BOP shop.
    All the energy and man hours were wasted though.

    And the robot arm had to be unbolted and replaced.

    Imagine this.
    Robot arm shown lowers afoot.
    Red tube comes down.
    Steel sprays all over.

    Good for you, I mean, well you know.

    Ugh... letting the dog lick out the rest of the cheese dip cups after pizza last night proved to be a bad decision... :poop:
    Dog scoots are not good for all involved. :wavey:
