[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 601034, member: 84"] Jody I've done it before too.......and hated it. But the times I hated it where times when they didn't let you move around. As long as I'm moving......I'm fine. I've had 2 ehhh not so hot experiences at these type jobs. 1. Was a sporting goods warehouse filling orders to ship to customers. That is the one where I loaded 100 lb boxes of ammo onto skids. I caught on to it fast even though it was supposedly complicated......but that warehouse was enormous and you pulled your order from the entire place, there were ladders to climb that were about 20 ft tall. They required 12 hr work days for newbies PLUS overtime........2-3 days I lost more than 20 lbs, no sleep (too darn sore when I got home, exhausted or not) and that was enough. If I could've slept I couldn't stuck it out. 2. One was air freight. No training because stupid me volunteered to man a line that was too short to operate without a volunteer. Should've been like 20 people on that line, there were TWO....me and the woman training me. That one kicked my butt but at least I could sleep, so I made it a week............when my ride to work bailed out on me and I lost transportation. Made me furious. I actually LIKED that job once I got the hang of it. But those 2 jobs happened for a reason. Because of those 2 I look at this one and I just smile. I'll be tired and sore........but unless my eye hand coordination is kaput and I don't know it......it's gonna be a cake walk compared to those other two. And I'll keep telling myself that so I won't be tempted to quit. lol [/QUOTE]
