There was ALWAYS a cat fight brewing. The stock guys would drive WAY over speed on there route so they could "putt" around over on the IP line for a few minutes. I used to laugh when we got a new hire that was even remotely atractive, the whole plant, all 5500 people would know about it. The guys, and a few girls would run over and check her out, the other women would talk trash about her...I would ask them if they had a boyfriend or husband. If the said yes, I would tell them "not for long" if they said no, I would say "You will"....I seemed like Nosterdamis to them, I was always right. Simple fact was that we worked 10 hour shifts, new hires were on nights. If you had a signifigant other they never saw you, and there was always a couple hundred guy's ready and willing to "talk to you about your problems at home".

Now I AM getting into some stories I should not tell!!!
LOL!

I am sure all the plants were pretty much the same...
