Default Imagine if you will....

Picture a giant cylindrical chalkboard with 20 people holding their nails against it while it rotates. Next to that are 5 people scraping knife-edges across hardened steel plates. Next to that is a giant blender full of gravel while children scream non-stop.

THAT is what it sounds like at work today! Only 7.5 more hours to go!

One of the jobs I do at work is drilling 1" holes in a stainless steel centrifugal casting. I wear NRR33 ear plugs plus my best shooting muffs when drilling those 16 holes in each part. It just screeches

I hand out ear plugs to the entire shop ( 15 workers). Plus the office hates me too

I shot a short video at work so I could get some audio. Sorry it's only of my feet but, anything else would get me fired!

Sounds like a bunch of teenieboppers, waiting in front of a Bieber concert.
