Today i overheard a conversation between my immediate manager and some other guy which revealed that while we dont have heat, we DO have an AC system that circulates in air from outside. 20 degree air from outside. Because otherwise the carbon monoxide fumes from all the forklifts would build up and slowly kill us all. I took this opportunity to interject about how it would make sense to switch all the forklifts from propane to compressed air engines, because not only do they produce literally zero emissions, being used in a forklift you would sidestep all the downsides associated with compressed-air powered automobiles (no long distance travel, no chance of high-speed collision), plus the the lifting forks are already utilizing pneumatics so its a perfect fit. He looked at me like i was from outer space so i decided not to tell him about my other idea, which was for him to turn off all the fans and let us die

the best part is when one of the trucks sitting at the open loading dock 10 feet from me sits idling his engine and i get bathed in the simultaneously lifegiving and lifetaking warm, noxious diesel exhaust

Hey Mr. Compressed Air. You the bomb. We savin niggas from carbon monoxide poisoning so fast they have time to die from other workplace injuries. So I'm gonna write my Baptist-ass name on this fat-ass check for you.

yeah generally we keep the doors closed as much as we can to keep from literally freezing to death but we have to open them in the morning to grab empty pallets and whenever randos show up to pick up their special shipments that i have nothing to do with (probably drugs), and every night during the mad rush to cram every last box in that motherfucker into the back of a truck and get the hell out while the driver sits idling in the cab with his heater on full blast the entire time as my telomeres wither to nothing
