heh. funny related story.
my company recently moved into a bigger warehouse within the same industrial park. the space was much needed and we went from one dock slip to three dock slips and a ramp to drive a van directly into the warehouse for easy loading/unloading. very nice, let me tell you. the only problem was that the three dock slips - when we moved in, there was a large cement slab between two dock slips that was lined with cement posts to protect what i'm assuming was an air confitioning unit or something along those lines...
so a couple days after we move in, a tractor-trailer is backing into one of the slips adjacent to this slab and wanged one of the cement poles... the sucker pulled up a whole chunk of cement with it and from then on rested at a very low angle to the ground... so we call up the property management people and ask them to go ahead and just remove the downed pole so it dosen't happen again. a couple days later we here a commotion outside on the dock, so we open up our doors and see a small crew with a jackhammer chipping away the cement stuck to the base of the pole. we said hey, thanked them for coming, then closed the doors and went on with our work.
a couple hours later, the commotion finally ended, and we poked our heads out to see their work. indeed, there was the pole, newly righted and recemente back into place, and they even put a fresh coat of yellow paint on the thing. somewhere along the lines our property management company fucked up.
it still stands there to this day, we just tell truck drivers to use a different slip.
