Galatians 5:12
My boss reviews the safety topic and reminds everybody about the Christmas party.
Then he tell them "Just to let you know, at some point, Bill is going to come by and take the Crown."
So I jumped back in and said: "And that's what happened in 1066. ... Bill came by to take the crown." 7/7

He shrugs and says, "History class was a long time ago. If it's not 1066, I can't help you."
So one of the kids on the crew says, "Wait, what happened in 1066?"
Good question, but we've got a truck to do and the meeting's getting off-track, so I tell him we'll talk about it later. 6/7

I read Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror years ago, but the 14th century is still a tough one for this game. I got nothing. "I dunno," I said, "The Black Death, I guess."
I turn to the guy on the crew who's from the UK. "You went to school in England -- you got anything for 1347?" 5/7

So anyway, I finish telling the crew the department breakdown for last night's truck and, before I turn the meeting over to my boss, I ask him about Monday's numbers. It's a small truck: 1,347 pieces.
"What do you have for 1347?" he asks me. I'm stumped. 4/7

Turns out Bill was going to need the reach truck for a while after the store closed to drop some event pallets for the post-Christmas sale that starts before Christmas. The store has two reach trucks, but the Crown is the good one, and Bill didn't want to get stuck having to use the Raymond. 3/7

"1212, Children's Crusade. Ended badly," I told the crew. "This truck ends badly for hardware, which is getting slammed ..."
While we were unloading that truck before the rest of the crew gets there, my boss got the numbers for Monday's truck and talked to Bill, the closing day-side manager. 2/7

It’s never not funny that most oaths are done this way. Any time anyone uses anything other than a Bible, folks freak out and say “No no no — it only counts if you use the book that forbids swearing oaths and says they come from the ‘evil one.’”
