Last week was a rough week... Things were not going so hot in the factory, at least in my mind. I had given a deadline to complete 2 jobs with a significant incentive(bonus) for each person working on them. Goals weren't met so bonuses weren't given. I was really bummed. Tuesday I went to pick up some turned bed posts for a job and Dwayne, my main guy I work with at the lumber place, was there with his left hand all bandaged up. A customer was 'helping' him rip some boards in with a table saw and instead of just steadying the wood as it came out, the man pulled the last 8 inches through. It caught Dwayne off guard and off balance and his left hand went through the saw. He lost 3 fingers and mangled a fourth. Please pray for him as he has had 1 surgery since to attach the 3 fingers and will have 1 more this week as they try to attach all of the tendons so he can use his hand.
Suddenly unmet goals didn't seem like such a big deal. It has brought back a lot of unpleasant memories of the day Ionda ran his finger through the jointer here at JDV 6 years ago when I was here.
