    Not much... I feel all sore... is that good? :p

    I spend half a day cleaning the yard for tomorrow's small party with friends... ugh! Remove the weeds, washed and brushed the tiles (of course, helped by my sister and mother, though she went to decorate the cake after a short while)

    Now, I have to do my room for tomorrow... with all the books laying around :eek:

    Thank you everyone! :)

    Oooh! The martians are attacking :eek:

    What are you doing in a park? :confused:

    Well another day in paradise. Getting ready to open the coffee house in another 15 minutes, Setting up a larger karaoke machine tonight, ( I own a smaller system only about 1000 songs) tonight the system we are using will have 20,000 plus songs and hopefully they have a following that will fill us up.

    I think I have a new favorite food. Pepperoni cheese rolls. Basically, it's a mini-loaf of bread made with some cheese on top, and probably in the dough, with pepperoni slices filling a cavity along the middle of the loaf.

    Sounds good heath,too early yet for food,but I'm having a coffee and a smoke.

    How does it feel to have the weekend off?

    Its good,isn't it?

    There's a great feeling to having an easy day when you have worked hard all week.
  • Jun 20, 2010, 01:19 AM
    hheath541

    oh, I think weekends are going to be my favorite time of the week. I like the job and making money and everything, it's just TIRING! I work 8 hours a day most, if not all, of it on my feet with periods of heavy lifting thrown in at random intervals. This job may actually give me muscles in my arms. Maybe I'll no longer be able to wrap my hand around my arm all the way up past my elbow. Now, if I could just remember NOT to lift with my back and pace myself so I don't run out of steam with 2 hours left in the shift.

    I think I'll get the hang of it after another week or two. Factory work just takes some getting used to, especially when all your past job experience is more of the 'secretary' variety. Filing a stack of papers as thick as my waist, stuffing 1200 envelopes, answering phones, and opening mail in NO way resemble resemble running heavy machinery that weighs more than some cars, heats up to temperatures that melts plastic, and could probably eat my arm if I let it.

    I'm glad that I have not ONCE heard the phrase, 'don't put your finger in there,' or anything resembling it. Everyone else who's shown me how to run machinery or power tools has started by explaining that I shouldn't put my appendages near the spinning blades of death or touch the pointy bits or lick the rediculously hot surfaces. Here, they automatically assume I'm smart enough to figure out that the machine that melts plastic into a liquid to be formed into tubes is going to be hot, or that I shouldn't stick my fingers in the hole where tubes go to get holes punched in them, or that putting my arm in the machine that grinds plastic into very small confetti while it's running is a bad idea. They don't treat me like a child who needs to be warned that the stove is hot before they touch it. They treat me like an adult that's smart enough to realize that high temperatures, spinning blades, hydraulic-powered super-sized hole punches, and forces that bend metal mean PAIN if I'm stupid enough to put my finger in them.

    now, if I could just get them to realize that I'm not fragile. I can move and lift things without help most of the time. I'm not going to get offended by jokes or sexual discussions. I don't need people who are NOT my supervisor coming over to ask me if I'm OK or to give me unneeded advice on how to do something I was JUST shown how to do. I definitely don't need the shift busy-body telling me stories I have absolutely no reason to believe, and every reason to doubt.

    I guess all that will come with time, though.
  • Jun 20, 2010, 01:30 AM

    Your post made me laugh,you're the newbie on the floor,I guess your supervisor is just making sure your getting on OK,it would be way worse if they didn't give a crap.

    I always dreaded the first month in anew job,trying to learn the job,getting to know people,susing out who's who.

    I was always totally wreaked tired in the beginning,but as you know yourself,once you get into it,it's a breeze,and of course pay day,the best day of the week!

    Indeed,those memories of my yesterdays...

    Allowing those with more time on the job a little slack would be prudent.. but you still need to be you,right?? (hheath)

    Heck,if they want to help,let them show you ALL the ways of heavy lifting,all shifts,all times of the day, let them DO it for you, then the 2 hours before shift is over,you can show them how much energy YOU have over their 'experienced' butts... LOL

    They're trying to help the newbie. That's really nice, if sometimes a little smothering. That'll die down in a little while. I travel, so I get two or three different gossips(to tell me about people in their town I don't know) each week. Some things you just endure. This, compared to what you've been through recently, is nothing.

    You're doing so well, Hheath. We were worried about you for so long.

    That has other connotations I can think of there redhed... :D

    ANYWAY,, Happy Father's day to all.May we all have:

    Breakfast in bed.

    The morning paper alone and uninterrupted.

    No honey-do list requirements.

    A game on(even if we had to record it).

    Friends who visit and leave when we feel the need for time alone,, or with our S/O.

    Overall,one of those days when things just go our way:)

    This year me and mum aren't going all out for dad. He doesn't really deserve it... What usually is described as a perfect father's day, is dad's life.

    I'm fine. I'm really tired in fact... As said in my one of my earlier posts, I think it's the first time the house was so clean after such a little time.

    Fortunately, I'll have a week without school (there are many activities which I'm not taking part in.

    Monday: Music day; Tuesday: Sports day; Wednesday: Football fastival; Thursday: Prize giving and Friday is Mid Term holiday (though it's not really the middle of the term)

    I'll be watching some movies later...

    Though I'm not going to school, I'll need to do homework, homework and homework, then, practice with some exam questions, correct and try to make my answers better.

    Doctor? Is that for a check up or is there something? :confused: I hope all is right...

    We think so. I've been showing symptoms. So we're going to have a blood test done because the home tests can be misread easily
