A few weeks ago I was loading a trailer. The PT sup tells me to go from bay 31 to bay 30.
It was hot and my shirt was soaked front and back with sweat. I am dripping sweat down my face (hence my handle here).
Instead of going to bay 30 I walked toward the drinking fountain(about 150 away from the belt). The PT sup was chasing me and yelled "Where are you going".
I walked by all 3 FT sups on the way,who were talking to each other and told them I need some water. They saw that I was soaked in sweat.
So I got my drink of water. On the way back they handed me a bottle of water they pulled out of a nearby cooler. They chastized the PT sup saying that I needed some water.
She apologized to me later about that.
The next night while I was walking in, 2 of FT sups met me and DOK'ed me. I answered all the questions right and they handed me a 1 quart UPS water bottle with a wide opening.
There is an ice machine in our hub, I fill it up with ice and add some water. It keeps the water cold for 90 minutes.
It works out good for me and management. I don't have take frequent walks to the water fountain. I don't have to leave my work area while my extendo gets jammed up while I'm gone. Just take a few swigs from the bottle and put it again'st my head to cool me down.
