Oh my aching feet...
Monday, October 6, 2008

Well, I survived my first weekend at my new job... Barely.

I tell ya' after being fairly active at my old job, then sitting on my pi-gu for almost five months (Mostly writing the Allanverse) Suddenly doing pick and pack in a warehouse for 12 hours at a whack damn near killed me.

Green Mtn. Coffee Roasters is one of the largest coffee brewers here in the USA.

You know those cool little single cup coffee brewers you see around. the ones from Kurig where you drop in the little plastic cup of coffee and brew a single cup? Damn near every one of those little K-cups comes through the warehouse where I work

As a newbie, I work in the pick tunnels. as the orders are put into the computer. people walk up and down the 200 fool long tunnels pulling product and putting it on the conveyor system. there are four of these tunnels. Beside each pallet of product is a display. a light flashes next to the product with an LED readout of how many to pull. pull the boxes and repeat until break time. Then repeat etc. On Sunday's there are only two people in the tunnels so I am constantly patrolling in search of the little flashing lights. All for a whopping $11.50 an hour

Also on another note, My Girlfriend Rose does indeed have Cancer. the Biopsy done three weeks ago upon a double check was inconclusive. Last Friday, they did a surgical biopsy to obtain a better sample. from what they saw during the procedure, they are now convinced that it is the big C.

The up side of this (If there is one) is that it seems to respond to drug treatment already and it was caught early. The doc's are hopeful for a full recovery. She has another appointment later this week.

Keep your fingers crossed everyone.

We're all with you, Brian. It might be a big 'verse out there, but there are a lot of good people, and a fair number of them are browncoats, so know they're all wishing you and your girlfriend well.
