I'm officially one of the chosen elite that has been entrusted by the powers that be to operate a very expensive and very dangerous fork truck at work.

I was actually bothing by supervisors about it for a while. I work the night shift at a very high tech CNC shop and no one else is certified on this shift. We dont need it often but sometimes heavy shit has got to move and we either do it by hand cart (boring), bother someone else on the other side of the shop (they dont like that very much) or leave it for the day guys. I'm one of the newer guys so not everyone is thrilled I got the bump and they didn't but I made it happen. Nobody asked me to do it, I went after it. Anyways, yeah. Me + fork truck = frendz4eva

We have x2 battery powered Cat EC25N's. Up until last week, I'd never even sat a buttcheek one in anything like it but I'm getting the hang of it quickly. I unloaded a full semi trailer just a bit ago to get some practice in even tho that's the shipping crew's job. They know I'm looking to get some practice in and they're doing a great job of letting me get my feet wet.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
