That 14-hour shift in Baton Rouge where everything went sideways
We were swapping out a corroded header on a cracking tower and the crane operator misread the rigging chart, dropped our 2,800-pound drum off the deck, and the plant supervisor made us re-certify all our torches before we could even start cleanup, has anyone else had a job spiral like that over one small mistake?

Man that sounds like a total mess. Dropping a 2,800 pound drum off the deck could've killed somebody, so at least everyone walked away. But the torch re-cert after all that? That's just salt in the wound. I've seen a plant make a whole crew redo lockout training because one guy forgot his tag, and it ate like four hours. One bad move turns a 14-hour day into a 20-hour day real quick. Hang in there, that kind of shift makes you want to just sit in the truck for a minute before driving home.
