  • Wow...


    Busy littleman I've been...


    I haven't even been able totalk to my significate other.


    Work isn't getting any better for either.


    We've gone from the best belt to barely being able to hold down standards.


    It's like almost everyone has given up since I was put in a truck loading...


    And they are the three hardest loads on the belt.


    Its an on going fight because the spliter who replaced me is 4 feet tall and more than half the boxes are bigger than she is.


    Her name is Christina, plus the fact she's a horndog and flurts with every man in contact.


    She screams at Scott when we don't get any packages but she doesn't put them one the right sides of the belt either...its a lose/lose situaton.


    So that adds to Tony's(the guy who allways had my back on the split) job because he can't see his packages...


    ...and guess who is right behind him on the beltline?


    Yep ol' reliable me....Scott planned that sh**t!


    So I gotta get his boxes to him plus the stuff Chris missed and catch my stuff... boxes everywhere.


    I feel like I'm buliding a clubhouse or getting ready for a war...


    Then Scott has to help another chick who just started with the same problem, she just will not even try to handle "big and heavy" boxes...


    ...plus her,Christina and lets not forget the other one(her put her in two trucks, the same one who was splitting last week).


    And all three are SLOW!!! it's been three weeks and none of them have gotten any faster!!


    I wouldn't have such a problem about this if we didn't just lose a woman who was catching everything and loading three trucks(Anita was her name, she left and went to another job).


    Then all the cats on our belt that were trying to go fulltime filled complaints aganst Cantrel(Head Sort Manager) and got to leave to get fulltime.


    That was three more people...


    The harder workers.


    It is to the point to where every night I'm getting fussed at about a task I let go to do the other two...


    Example...I have all my freight loaded in the trucks, but now runback(boxes missed by Tony and Christina) is stacked at the end of the belt.


    Guess who Scott comes to...then he starts sending everyone else to house.


    Thats if I get lucky and he is busy helping someone else with their trucks.


    But if he notices it down at the end, no matter how many packages we still have in our nightly load...I have to stop and bring the stuff up to Tony.


    So I have to get someone to catch my stuff and stack it where I can load it later on and do they catch them all with the "thats not my job" attitude.


    ...I get somewhere around 700 packages per truck...


    I load three trucks, do the math.

                    The good news, money's good because I work the latest every week.


    Call it compensation for the bulls**t that I am dealing with right now, and the Fam.


    My sis finally got a second job doing something in her career field, but now she is late on bills...


    And we know how she handles stress...


    So what little me time I have had is being spit between her and the N. Guard.


    I got stuck running around with her all day yesterday, and then it hit me...


    Every time frame she has had a "problem" with Mario or sat down and thought about other people's actions and thought there was big "conspiracy" to catch her stealling or something...


    ...SHE MISSED A BILL!!!


    Good news is I got a good deal on some new tires for my car.


    But now I have a monthly payment on them...


    I only have one person I can go to to talk but because of the way I'm working plus her situation...


    ...its gonna be a long month.
