So.. I have a new job.. newer than the new job that I started in September..
Without getting into it too much.. let’s just say that there were things that I didn’t expect when taking that job.. and it didn’t sit well with me.. so I made the executive decision to just quit.. hands clean.. and never look back..
That brings me to this new job.. I work as the Quality Assurance Tech for a pet food company.. and I’ve been there for a week..
It’s.. interesting..interesting good and interesting bad.. let me explain:
Interesting good
I’m doing quality control and assurance on batches and batches of pet food. It’s overwhelming to think that I am partially responsible for some of the petfood you are all buying your dogs.. and cats.. it’s amazing to think that I have to check it to make sure that it’s suitable to sell.. it’s a learning experience.. and smells a lot better than the vet lab I used to work for..
Interesting bad
It’s a mix of manual labor.. and laboratory work. Since I’m working in a huge manufacturing plant.. I have to have the hard hat.. steel toed shoes.. ear plugs.. eye protection.. the works. I’ll be getting a uniform as soon as they give me one.. so I come home sometimes dusty and smelling like dog food.. My hair is always flat because of the hard hat.. I can no longer have manicures.. and I can’t wear my ring.. so that means that if Joe ever pops the question.. I won’t be able to flash my fancy bling around at work.. haha..
Today was interesting.. I was learning how to test finished product and I didn’t realize that it meant I had to pull random bags from the assembly line.. well.. today.. the bags were 52lbs!
52lbs!
On a good day.. I weight between 120-125lbs.. that bag is a little less than half of what I weigh!! And they expect me to eventually be able to pick that up?!
Insane!
That is pretty much the worse part of my day.. the heavy lifting..
I’m scared I’ll get man-hands.. eek!
Thoughts?
