Sunbeam Machines P.L.

Being out here in Ida. Bollarm at plot 141 means we are surrounded by other shops doing a lot of the same kind of work. It is an industrial area through and through. The air always smells a bit like oil and hot metal when the machines are running. We have been operating Sunbeam Machines for a while now. Most of our time is spent getting the specs right on whatever machine is sitting on the floor that week. We do not spend much time on the computer unless we absolutely have to. Most of the day is spent with our hands on the equipment. The floor is concrete and it stays nice and cool in the morning hours. By noon, the whole place is humming with noise. We have a few old wooden benches that have seen better days. They are still sturdy though. We do not see the need to replace things that still work fine for us. Lunch is usually eaten together near the back door where there is a bit of a breeze. It is just a regular group of people working here. We know these machines inside out. If something breaks, we know how to get it running again without making a big fuss. We do not talk much while we are working. Everyone just knows their job. The address is easy to find once you get deep into Bollarm. We just keep our heads down and finish the work. (248 words)
