cat got my tongue but my teeth softened it up first.
I work at factory now!
i always feel the need to say with with a mock-japanese accent.
the factory in question here is GE at Trafalgar/S Service/Davis Rd. Its a bigger plant than i ever thought it was. For the first time i remembered the most effecient want from my work area to my parking lot on friday. I was happy.
The trick is to try your damndest to keep yourself amused and your hands busy and time just flies by. This idea of reverse-laziness, strikes me as genius. I entertain myself by competing with myself to try keep the line going as effeciently as possible. If i'm 'in the zone' i'll start spinning boxes, or making pyramid of empty boxes (i'm jewish, pyramids are in the blood), officially so i'll be ready in case i get behind, really because i'm bored and it amuses me.
Back at staples, pulling out stacks of boxes turned into a deadly game of Jenga. Going to the two-way-swinging Recieving doors to fetch or return a ladder became one of my favourite things to do, for the sole reason that i set up the ladder so i could "CHARGE!" through the with the ladder as a Ram. I got one of the night managers to start tossing me grapes so i could catch them. I also got more tiny cuts and bruises than i ever thought i would.
In both jobs so far, shit goes wrong, i'll drop something and then i try and catch it with good success. Nothing has broken that caused any injury to person or property... except for the staples sign when i accidentally snapped the frame of the staples sign on the front door, when i was prying it off so i could clean the windows.
I look good by being a good worker, and the theory of relativity gets me through the week.
Actually the most annoying thing to do at work is... nothing. I'd rather be doing something than nothing. I worked with one temp who convinced me to take 2 30min breaks instead of 2 15min breaks, but i've decided that there's no point. I end up just wanting my break to hurry up and end so i can get back to work and eventually get home.
In summation, i'm currently taking a break from socializing too frequently, so i can focus on doing stuff. I want to do stuff. Talking about doing stuff is fun, but actually doing stuff is more fun.
anybody doing stuff who's interested in a doing-stuff buddy, lemme know what the stuff is and i'll probably give it a shot.
People who've dealt with bouts of silence when i'm around lately, its not that i don't like you, its just that i'm fed up with talking. I believe in the comfortable silence. Its actually even more fun talking without words. I get to do it alot at the factory. People point and have hand gestures for everything due to the background noise. For those of you who've yelled at me over the years to speak up, i actually get to at this job. I've actually got to tell other employees and the swiss temp manager at staples to speak up. especially when calling out breaks.
Another thing i've noticed about myself, is that i CAN multi-task (damn you eric), but if one of those tasks is talking, then it muddy's up the works. I can't talk and listen at the same time, If i'm driving with a cell, i stop listening and talking if i have to lane change. Hell if you're sitting next to me and i have to lane change, you're going to get tuned out for a few seconds. If you're pointing and looking one way, and say the other way, i'll probably go the way you're pointing and looking (Maio...). I can smoke, drink, change the radio, and drive but throw in conversation and my head explodes. It requires alot of my faculties to do it with any level of proficiency.
For all these years i thought i was strongest using a certain type of learning, i've only recently started to figure out that i actually prefer a combination of a few others.
