A grown man cry


Today I was working in a new construction warehouse and they were using
temp lighting until the new stuff was turned on. they pulled down all
113 , 400watt mh light fixtures and bulbs and trashed them, and would not let anyone pull any from the dumpster.
I cried.

As the old saying goes


...It just goes to show you, one man's trash is another man's treasure (or lighting set up)
