I hurt...

I've been putting caps on spray cans for the last 12.5 hours a day for the past 2 days... Yeah, these caps go on harder than a mother... I've got huge blisters on both hands (I'll be lonely tonight)... The other guy who was helping had like 10 blisters on his hand, its bull crap they are surpose to rotate us after each break (every 2.5 hours or so), but none of the other people could keep up so....

So yeah, if any of you go any place that sells homex spray text (contractors size) pull the cap on and see how long it takes you get it back on... Now picture doing that about 1.5 times every second for 12.5 hours... I have so much stuff I should be doing right now, but Im going to bed for a little while first, eff it...

You should get some gloves or some kind of wrap so you don't get infections from the blisters

I'm off for the next 2 days.. woot woot... I have a funny work schedule, basically I only work 7 out of 14 days, 6pm-6:30am....

It still a pretty fun job, some of the people there piss me off though...

Yea join the club. I deal with some "interesting" people everyday at work. I use interesting very loosely.

Damn, by the title I thought I was going to read the lyrics to a Johnny Cash song, which was also covered by Trent Reznor/NIN.

Not saying it is a good thing to do but a lot of times this is your best option. I consider myself to have good work ehtics and all that I have noticed from this is that you get to pick up the slack for all the slackers and don't get much out of it. Yes you do get the occasional recognition but after a while it just becomes expected. Then you notice you are the only one busting your ass and you are getting the same treatment as the others. I have finally found a job that so far has not been like this and it is very nice. But if your job tends to be like a lot then you may be better off jsut slowing down and blending in. Just a little venting and my two cents worth

Ive been on both sides of the fence.

In management, when you see someone as a good worker and other as slackers, you tend to pick that good worker for all the extra stuff and the harder stuff.

Beinging the worker, you fell like your getting the short end of the stick as the other guys are slacking and here you are getting told to keep on the crap job as you can do it better...

Oh ya, both sides of the stick I tell you. Im sure management is noticing how good you are performing. Chances are it wont get you to far. But you have to have that right attitude at the right time to move forward.

Hey its a good thing that your the only one that can keep up!! It shows them that you aint skeered!!

You'll make it past the blister stage after a while, and come out with tougher skin on your hands.
