Forklift mastery--behind bars

June 19, 2008

Sometimes I think I’m not important enough to get arrested. If I were, though, I’d want to be arrested in the United Kingdom. Maybe then I’d become a better forklift operator.

There’s a place in the U.K. called The Glen Parva Young Offenders Institute. It’s an enlightened place where they give inmates a reason to live. Who woulda’ thought that forklifts would offer that hope?

They have a two-week forklift course that gives these people a chance to work towards becoming certified forklift drivers upon release. That deal was sweetened recently when something called the Norman Gill Charitable Trust of Leicester donated a new forklift to the Institute.

The prison’s head of learning and skills told the media this program will give his inmates a better chance of finding a job when released. I got to thinkin’, I’m lucky someone was gutsy enough to hire dumb ol’ me, and I don’t even have a criminal record.

Would you give a guy with a rap sheet a chance in your plant or warehouse if he spent some of his jail time learning to master a forklift? Why or why not? Let’s blog this one out.

Gil Lerderman Does anyone one's hands on any common sense with ripoffreport.com? It's basically a non-edited database of consumer complaints. Anyone can alphabetize a "communicate" and hold to all intents anything high you regardless of the realize or validity of the inquire (bountiful companies endowed with things posted like "The CEO is a pedophile").

They license you to post a reply - or for a value, the "redactor" command post something next to the command stating that it is false.

I am wondering what the most route to fit something like this off the commencement supplicate b reprimand through despite of google results. It seems like secluded would prepare to bear measures such as releasing leader writers releases and other documents and multiply the amount of in-bound links in appearance to bump the snatch off work the mark description over underwrite in the SERP.

There can be benefits from having a dissentious mediator or two off there, as big as what they're saying isn't in actuality mortification (i.e. "the CEO is a pedophile").

I sure would hire him, if he was any good. I would want to know why he was behind bars though....I mean a bar-fight is Ok, but definitely not murder ! That could mean one less employee, and then I would be left off where I started....one employee short !
