Well I just got back from work a little while ago. It was another fun filled day of lamp recycling. Had the pleasure of putting on the fancy mask today and dumping lights into the machine with the name I can never remember.

Know what? There's a goddamn lot of different types of lights out there. See, I've never really bothered in the past with musings about lights, to be honest I never really gave half a shit, so long as they served their purpose. But for example, in a bin of lights from some hospital, I encountered: HID's, HDS's, O-shapes, U-shapes, incandescents, halogens, fluorescents, and about half a dozen other types that I've already forgotten the names of. Like holy shit, that's a lot of light types.

Then we checked out the other fancy machine (this one has a couple computer like buttons) where you insert mercury into, and heat it up to 425 degrees, and I'm still foggy on the process cuz it was the end of the day and I was more concerned with getting out of that damn Tyvek white suit and going home...but anyhow it does some shit to the mercury and it takes 22 hours to do, apparently there's lots of potential for spills, and if that happens it takes about oh forever to clean up.

Now I'm sure that was endlessly boring. I think if I read it over again I'd fall asleep, so I won't. So I'll quickly complain about something: a company called ECL....I'd like to offer a grand ole "Fuck You!" to the guys over there. Stop Taping The Fucking Lights Together! It must waste your time, and it sure as hell wastes a lot of my time. So piss off and use your goddamn little noggins. Thanks.

Alrighty, well I'm gonna hit the sack, up early to visit the chiropractor. Only 2 more sleeps until Return of the King! WOOHOO!
