Yeah, it was a pilot plant, not production, his mistake. The
production plants make one rail car (175,000 lb.) per hour per train,
so their down time is considerably more expensive.


Then it was the boss's fault for not setting a dollar limit. So much
for setting up the proper 'Standards and Practices' ahead of time.

He said "up by Monday" - it was up by Monday. His wish was their
command. Feces Occurs.
