Good day to you all. Was not a good day at all. Issue after issue at work and one big problem. There is a guy that works with us who just turned 80 last month and today he passed out and fell and hit his head hard on the cement floor. The ambulance came and got him because he was bleeding and didn’t know what happened. We found out at the end of the day that he was flown to Milwaukee due to blood on the brain, but that is all we know at this time. It is not good at all, and I hope he will be alright. Our team at work is not doing well lately. We have one guy that is out due to being in the hospital and had surgery, but I have no details on that one either. We just had our manager go for hip surgery yesterday, so she will be out for a while. The new kid they hired last week has not come in since Monday and no call or anything, so I guess he quit. Now being down 4 people things are going to be getting every busy for the rest of us that are still there. I don’t know if they are going to allow overtime since we are short staffed or what, but I know there is going to be a lot of work still expected to be done and being 4 people short it is not going to be a fun couple weeks. Well hope you all are having a decent day and staying safe out there.

No, I would imagine it won't be. Kind of sucks you're dealing with all that.

Yeah, I feel bad for him and hope the best for him. I guess his wife (78) has not been doing too well with her health and I'm only guessing the stress is getting to him. Thankfully, he has two sons that he is close to that hopefully can help them out.

I am so sorry. Both for the injured man and for the fact that you have to work short staffed.
