4/18 between 10 am and 11 am

I confront Andy(Boss1) and Sean(Boss2) about the gas leak on the dryer.  They agree that they smell it too.  Jim(Boss3) comes in and he smells it too. 

4/19 8:30am

I arrive in the morning to see the dryer is turned on.  I go up to clock in an immediately go to Andy about it.  I tell him it shouldn’t be turned on.  He says he thought I could print some numbers over there.  I tell him I would rather not work over there if there is a gas leak on the dryer. He says that Jim turned the valve off and it doesn’t leak when the dryer is running.  A few minutes later he shuts it down.  Andy tells me that Friday we have a lot of work to do. 

2:00pm

Andy turns the dryer on later in the day.  I tell an employee aloud that I might as well put a gun to my head.  Andy buts in … and asks what I said.  I tell him its suicidal working down here. Andy fusses and walks away. My co worker just laughs.  Later Andy turns the dryer off.

Was' up everybody from Cincinnati!!!!  Just chillin' testing out the new site and stuff..all you wobs get in touch...!
