    Laaaaast shift (here)!!!!!!

    I went looking for this thread under chit chat...huh...never woud have looked under fun and games....had to search it.

    Today...for one of the jobs I did...I packed bearings that weighed 1.3 lbs a piece...and I did about 200. That means I picked up 200+ lbs three times (not all at once obvs....once to put full boxes of parts on my table, once to pack and once to put in finished container). Soooo...my arms moved about 780 lbs of parts...for that one job! Damn! I'm not saying it is hard or heavy...just that my arms last week were NOT moving any pounds of anything, lol. (I also packed nearly 1000 .3 lb bearings before lunch! I'm so competitive...I want to beat everyone else...sick...)

    My horoscope said, "You will fine hidden riches..... In bed". Wait, that was my fortune cookie. :smile: Frankie, I was working as a Mandrin linguist for the military and I kept telling myself that I was better than that. I finally had someone convince me that I should follow my dreams and I took a chance on veterinary school. I've been a vet now for 20 years. It was the best thing I could have done. If I hadn't made that leap of faith, I'd have never known. It's like Joe and the Volcano. You may get spit back out, but you won't know until you try. I know you can do this! It's right up your alley. :smile:

    Yup...that's what I keep telling myself. I'm better than _______ until I get where I think I shoud be! Anytime I start to feel like maybe I shouldn't try whatever...I think of the regret of not trying...terrible...

    Thanks! :)

    I practically pulled an all-nighter last night studying for a test (about 3.5 hrs sleep) but it payed off because I'm pretty sure I aced it. And now...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

    BTW, my birthday was FABULOUS!

    I wont go into the details but it was amazing. I'm also restarting the clock on my 6 month sobriety thing :flushed:

    Also, I had a hangover that lasted almost 2 days... :confounded: That right there was enough to make me wanna give up alcohol almost for LIFE.
    I made every rookie drinking mistake you could make, and survived. I am no spring chick anymore, and that's okay with me.

    I am looking into various different career options right now. Things that will take me farther than where I currently am.

    Bottom line: I need more money than I am making now and I need a job that is more fast paced than what I am doing right now.

    I LOVE the benefits of this place but I definitely need something better. I can not move up from my current position at this location so I will likely be moving, eventually. I'm still looking around at my options.

    I hated looking for work to make ends meet. I'm glad I make enough now to keep my kids medical bills taken care of.
