Quicky

A quick posting...again, before I go out to play.

Yesterday, I almost died. Well...not exactly as I am not really that near to the place of incident. However here's what happened.

We were preparing to hoist a piece of equipment for repair purposes when suddenly, the strap we used, a cloth type (maybe it's a fibre, I don't know) of strap just give way and snapped! I was standing 2 meters away. At first I do not know what the heck happened. When I heard a loud noise, and saw the metal cradle supporting the equipment just swing wildly, I thought I was going to hit me! Lucky for me, it just hit some pieces of machinery nearby. Since there are two locations for the straps, one where I'm sequestrated to monitor, and the other one 2 meters away, I thought the one that broke is on my side. And the strap on my side is metal! If it breaks...bye-bye neck. Hello underworld!

Well...not really a comprehensive audit of what's going on...but luckily, no one was hurt. This getting hurt at work things is really starting to get on my nerves.
