Your favorite thing at work

OK, last topic I did I bitched about working at Dell a bunch more or less, but here's something I do like about the place:

This, folks, is called a Mouse Cart.

Storage bin on the front is the body and head, handles are the ears and scooter board is the tail. You can brake by stepping on the tab on the back wheel or do it Fred Flintstone style if you prefer. There's also a bell on it to ring so all the forklifts know you're coming. It handles pretty much like you'd expect it too. You can get a pretty good workout from it, too.

I more or less use this when a package gets swept onto our FedEx conveyor and halfway across the plant. Its a big place, so walking to get the package back would take almost 15 minutes, this will get you there and back in less than five and you don't even have to carry anything.

Only thing that bugs me is one of the floor managers likes to swipe my department's mouse cart to get somewhere that would actually be a fairly short walk. It usually happens when I need to get something that got swept up the wrong conveyor, too. Some people also use them to ride up the cafeteria for breaks and never bring it back. Jerks.

I had seen other manufacturing companies use oversized tricycles to get things moved around, but the mouse cart is much more fun.

That looks like fun. When I"m on night duty I scoot along my ward using this it's quicker and quieter than walking "tee hee"
I love hoisting people and love training people to use it as you cant hoist somebody until you've been in it yourself so I enjoy many hours of abusing trainee's in it.

Dont have a pic, but I would have to say my tablet PC. With it I never get lost, and my favorite music is always a touch away while I am driving. (Dell onsite Tech -.- lol)

I like that no one will hire me because I haven't worked in five years, because I was raising my children.

Oh, wait, no I don't. >.>
