I'm officially one of the chosen elite that has been entrusted by the powers that be to operate a very expensive and very dangerous fork truck at work.

I was actually bothing by supervisors about it for a while. I work the night shift at a very high tech CNC shop and no one else is certified on this shift. We dont need it often but sometimes heavy shit has got to move and we either do it by hand cart (boring), bother someone else on the other side of the shop (they dont like that very much) or leave it for the day guys. I'm one of the newer guys so not everyone is thrilled I got the bump and they didn't but I made it happen. Nobody asked me to do it, I went after it. Anyways, yeah. Me + fork truck = frendz4eva
