Imagine you spent a dozen years driving a beat-up '83 Chevy with a weak transmission, questionable radiator, and a rat-eaten seat. But in those 12 years, you got really good at it. Then you got a cushy office job and didn't have to drive for like four years. Then the company upgraded its equipment and today they handed you the keys to a helicopter and said "Fly this over there. Thanks."
That was me today, but with forklifts.
@willsecurity It was... Interesting.
@ianthealy Well did you a) kill anyone b) seriously maim anyone c) destroy valuable property or d) make it clear you should not touch said machine for the rest of your life?
If not you probably came out ok
@willsecurity @ianthealy all I can think about is "staplerfahrer Klaus" 😳.
@ceb @willsecurity I'm thrilled someone else knows about Klaus. Poor Klaus.
@ianthealy @willsecurity poor, poor Klaus and his coworkers!
@willsecurity I done did good. It's like falling off a bicycle. Some things you never forget how to do.
@XanHart I spent 12 years driving a forklift with specific operational capabilities and now they have these fancy new high tech lifts with controls I haven't used and had to operate one today for a custom because we're short handed.
I didn't kill anyone or break anything, so that's a win.
Hi! that's a compelling scenario! what happened?? 😬

Yes indeed! Major destructive power in your hands! 😱
@ianthealy Wait are you excited or scared by this? :)
