Day 33

So... I'm not the newest new hire anymore. There was a guy that started last Friday on his training. Hopefully he stays around. It always sucks being the new guy. He'll get through it.

My nightmares about Fluidity boxes are dying down now, too; so the UPS life is getting better.

Day 23

Well... A bit has changed since I've started here.

First: my Part-Time Supervisor has switched belts. It's right across the bars, so not the biggest change.

Second: (and this happened a while ago) Two people on the belt I was assigned have quit. One went through the two weeks and the other was still on probation. Someone who helped start me on the training has also retired. She was a very nice lady; and I'm going to miss her a lot.

And third: I've managed to get my numbers close to what the new Part-Time Supervisor is asking. I've been having trouble with them since I was alone in my trailers, but it's getting closer and closer to where they want them. Now only seven days to get it past 300.

Day 18

I'm starting to get the hang of it. I guess I was just thinking a bit too much. I can't over-analyze every detail about putting boxes down so they won't move while... Well... Moving. It's really just grab and go. Not much more to it than that.

If there's one thing I'm not looking forward to quite yet, though, it's Peak Season.
