I Completly ownd at work today.

 

Started out being asked to stage a load from the freezers, I asked a question that the taskmaster didn't know/remember and knew I needed to know. By asking I saved about an hours worth of work

 

THen I was given the task to move about 4 truckloads of bulk butter that were scattered about due to our previous freezer problem, and on one load i noticed the case quantities were off. Find out that the idiots on 2nd shift pulled samples and forgot to move the cases in our inventory system. NOrmally this wouldn't be a problem except the same idiots might end up shipping the load short about 200 pounds of butter.

 

While fixing that problem a co-worker came up to me asking if i could help him find a pallet that he already spent an hour looking for. A quick look from where I was standing and i pointed it out to him where it was.

 

Then another co-worker was having trouble with the battery changer for all our forklifts, and all i had to do was tighten a loose connection to fix it.

 

I better get that damn promotion soon, or I am going to start applying to other warehouse for management/supervisor positions.

we had a bomb scare while i was working. i clocked out for lunch, saw what a beautiful day it was, and i have my 40 hours in cause i used 8 on saturday and ended up working it anyways...figured why put myself in that situation...WHEN I'M NOT GETTING PAID FOR IT. apparently 2 suitcases were left in the parking lot, it's probably nothing, but why should i risk my life when i can't do anything to prevent them from potentially exploding?

Posted

well, there was nothing in the suitcases...but even so, they could've been decoys made to get customers out of the store, as they let employees back in first...where a real bomb could've been set. that's why i didn't go back after it was over. sent my double instead.

Caught up on some sleep last night. About 11 hours.

 

Feel better today... though I feel like I could do that again, no problem.

 

Should be a slow, easy day for me at work... hopefully.

Listening to a little Rush right now - not a band I am extremely familiar with, but sometimes I get in the mood to listen to one of their songs. It's "Limelight" right now, one of their bigger songs, I think.

Did something different in bowling today: duckpins. The game is very different from familiar tenpins, so it was interesting to me to see how well my tenpin skills translated to the ducks. I didn't do all that well, but I did have my moments, including a tenpin-like pickup of the single 10 pin for a spare. :D

Fired some guns today.

 

9mm Glock handgun.

Pump-action shotgun.

MP-5 full-auto sub-machine gun.

 

I did best with the Glock.
