A little levity
Amidst all the junk happening lately, FedEx managed to entertain me today via a service alert email.
Be warned, there may be service disruptions because of Monday's eclipse....

FedEx is closely monitoring potential effects of the total solar eclipse on Monday, August 21, 2017. Our first priority is the safety and well-being of our team members, and we will implement contingency plans as necessary.

Re: A little levity
Yeah, you never know how badly the effect of the sun, being temporarily shaded by the moon, can be, on FedEx employees. That's why the post office listed everything, but eclipses, as things that will not stop them.

Even the die hard global warmists are afraid the solar eclipse may lead to a global cooling. Texas went ahead with an extremely mild summer and even some rain!

Re: A little levity

If your found to be staring at the sun during your work day you are subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination as well as loss of you sight!
If you have any questions regarding this company policy please discuss it with your supervisor either before or after your shift!
Have a nice day, management.

Re: A little levity
I wonder if there is a special procedure for extremely thick cloud cover?

Wait, wait, it gets better. We are in Bowling Green to run the Corvette Museum track. Every single hotel room here is sold out (Bowling Green is in the "path of totality") and gas stations are running out of fuel already. I knew I should have brought more ammo...

Perhaps FedEx is concerned because many of their drivers are werewolves?

Re: A little levity
Perhaps there is concern that some of the unions will attempt to say that in a total eclipse, it appears that their constituents worked all day, all night (the actual eclipse), and part of the next day and therefore are entitled to overtime pay? Does start of morning shift to eclipse count as a full day in union hours?

I's agree, you does!george wrote:I does sound comical. But our infrastructure is in danger of being overwhelmed by the influx of visitors. We were told to expect gas shortages, and to avoid travel.
