Tom's Screw up

I must say, I've dropped the ball a little bit. But for all of you faithfull blog readers out there I have a funny story for you.

At work we are doing some major renovations. These involve moving the parts department from one end of the building to the other and since I am the lowest man on the totem pole I get to quit my job as a mechanic for a couple of days to move parts shelves and parts around. I was working with another guy at work moving the first shelves around and all went well. Nearing the end of the day on thursday we started to tackle the second row of shelves. We managed to get two sections up before it was time to go. Friday the guy I was working with was going to show up at noon which was perfectly ok because it wasn't really a 2 person job anyway. I continued moving product and shelves up untill about quarter to 10. I was dismantaling the second last shelf in the row we were working in. As I was taking the last corner out of the clip I looked up to see that the shelf that was loaded twice as high as the previous was twisting under the weight. I quickly dropped my hammer and the last shelf to jump up and try to prevent the waterfall of lawnmower blades. This shelf weighed at least 1000 lbs. So needless to say even with my handsom upper body with its seemingly endless supply of power pushed but to no avail. This shelving unit falling on the unit a mear 36" away caused that one to fall against the next one which seconds later collided with the next which fell hitting the wall/floor/stairway/doorway/old shipping and recieving desk. I know pictures were taken of this unfortunate event so I will try to round some of them up.
