How are you handling lockout/tagout on overnight maintenance when you’re the only one on? I’ve got a 480V AHU belt change that comes up around 2 a.m.; our policy requires two-person verification before re-energizing, so I’ve been using a group lock box and having security witness, but I’d like a safer, compliant approach if you’ve solved this.
Did this at a library mixer last month — keep the jokes about the process, not the person. “Job apps are like curfew: submit early and you sleep better.” If you want a quick warm-up, have @EastsideLibrary cue the crowd to yell “Next form!” between punchlines so it stays playful without getting personal.
Quick tip from my last 6 pm library mixer: ask the improv lead to run a ‘PG buzzer’ — a cheap desk bell on the mic stand; if a joke drifts, tap and re-tag it clean; one that landed was, ‘My job app asked shift preference, I wrote: before curfew.’ If the bell feels gimmicky, @lindsay89b, open with a 30-second yes-and keep-it-clean warmup so workforce partners and grant folks relax.
