I'm alive...I think?
So I've been at this new job for a little over a week now. It's hotter than 12 degrees of hell in the place. No A/C AT ALL in the area where I work. Plenty of loud machines and fans that just blow the heat from the machines around.
It's so crazy, but I hate going to work and after my shift is over, I hate it even more. But while I'm there? No problem in the world. I've had lots of little plot bunnies hatch (look at me, mixing my animal births. LOL) while I've been at work. I've had to shove a few back in boxes because I just don't have the time for them. I try to sneak in a little actual long-hand writing time when things slow down, but they never really do. Even when I'm operating a slow-moving machine, there's always something else to do, usually another machine. Like tonight, for example, I was operating three machines. There would've been four, but one needed a part and it didn't come in in time. Darn. Pfftt. It was hot and I was actually sweating. Not that I haven't before, but last night and tonight was different. I even had to pee a couple of times!! I kept downing water and gatorade (after getting sick and almost passing out the second night there, I sucked it up and started drinking gatorade to keep from totally dehydrating) and finally was able to do more than just sweat it out.
I've been lucky ever since almost passing out, the jobs I've been assigned to have been "sit down" ones. And no opening and closing a door, which is stupid b/c the parts should just either fall out onto a conveyer *sp* belt or be taken out by a robotic arm. NOT by the operator opening a door, reaching in, and pulling the part out. But that's just my opinion.
How is everyone? I miss talking to people.
Tia, look! New layout. ;) It's cute and maybe when I find the other one I like, I'll put it in.
Now, I'm taking my exhausted ass to bed. Night all.
