As I noted in my last blog I'm back in the labor force... Not just part time, but full time plus over time presently. I'm of course very glad for the opportunity.
No I'm not being sarcastic about saying that. I'm hoping that I will prove to be a good employee and move from temporary staff to being part of the permanent crew.
What am I doing? For the first week I was running a saw cutting pieces for cabinets. This week, so far I cut a day and a half then was told I was ahead of the assembly crew, so I've spent the last day and a half sorting out a giant three-D puzzle...😁
I actually prefer the saw, but the company may make it a test from which you're moved as soon as you prove you're up to bigger challenges.... In one way I hope not, though if I can keep caught up I'll probably become a part of the relief crew which works wherever there's a bottleneck. Which seems to be what the sorting job I was doing today was about. Finding and putting in a single stack the parts for a single cabinet. Times about ten or so today... Lots of bending, lifting and getting between two stacks, one coming apart and being distributed, the other being built as it was 'next'.
Because A lot of the parts are cut by a giant robot the person who runs that sometimes has the parts for several cabinets in a single stack. He puts a label on each part then stacks the parts somewhat from largest on bottom to smallest on top. So sometimes I ended up moving the same part twice or three times. Even though I was trying my best to stack like sizes together until they were needed for the 'next'cabinet....
Anyway, because I'm on a concrete floor I'm looking for a safety toed boot that's just slightly less aggressive than the pair of Danner boots I currently own, besides I want (not absolutely need) a second pair of boots so I can alternate pairs from day to day.
Well I've rambled on enough. I hope to be getting back to at least a little writing, but for now I'm a bit worn from the physicality and hours of the job.
