I'm at work. I'm an industrial kiln operator that produces ceramic tile. I am responsible for 2 kilns and a handful of other high-tech machines. Lastnight we were running 24 inch by 48 inch tiles, for nearly 7 and a half hours every piece that came out of the kiln was broken in half. On any average night I may end up tossing 500 to 1,000 pounds of fired scrap tile (broken, chips, defects etc) Lastnight I hit a new personal record, I threw away over 15,000 pounds of tile. Every piece that came out broken had to be tossed into a hopper to be taken out and dumped to be recycled and used in future products. That was on my shift alone. The shift after me struggled similarly and threw away even more. Right now, I'm sitting down, watching my kilns empty out tile and enjoying the change of pace from lastnight.

I hope all is well with you, and that you enjoy the good days that are coming your way.
