[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 600807, member: 84"] I know it comes with having a new job to be excited and nervous..........but well, c'mon, for me it has been quite a long time since I last worked. (nearly a decade) I will be working 3rd shift which is actually a combination of 2nd and 3rd shift........hours are 4:30pm until 3:00 am. Regular days are monday through thursday.........with friday and saturdays open for overtime. Which you usually get overtime every week. (both days) I know the first couple of weeks are going to take a LOT out of me while I get used to it. Hours won't bother me too much as I rarely am in bed before 1am normally. Usually there is one weekend a month where you get the 3 days off (friday, sat, sun). I have a feeling I'm going to be looking forward to that weekend. lol Nichole doesn't remember a lot of heavy lifting, but then she was on day shift so I might be doing something different. Only thing that has a chance of doing me in on this job is repetitive heavy lifting. I'm not 20 anymore. But it sounds as if they don't want you lifting over 40 lbs alone, so I can handle that. (had a job once where I got stuck loading 100 lb boxes of ammo onto skids.....talk about losing weight fast.....and I lasted 2 days I think) Tedious it is 99.9 percent of the time and I think that is about my speed right now. (brain wise) Did the paperwork today........an exam (passed with flying colors) drug test......safety junk. Tomorrow is official orientation and I'll be there 10am-4:30pm. I start Wed night. I'm assuming since we're newbies and starting mid week, we'll wind up working the overtime this week. If not, great, if so I'm fine with it. Mentioned bff's sister in laws name when I went in.....and that was that. :) Only hit one snag. I did the paperwork for direct deposit for my checking acct. Except I discovered after I left there when I went to the bank that my acct had been closed due to inactivity. So I'll have to fix that when I go in tomorrow morning. Shouldn't be a big deal.
