Music: The Deal show on CBS
2:45p
This has been a good week for me: I've finally caught up on sleep, started on a workout routine for the first time in 5 months, got more organized and put some more stuff in the garage sale box, and caught up with friends. I also just made one year at the warehouse yesterday. I'm so proud of how far I've come, how much I've learned, and how much I've grown as a person. A year ago, I couldn't see my future; I didn't know how long I would last. I was ready to give up so many times, and towards the end I'd lost all hope, until I got the news that changed everything. 5 months later, I'm in a VERY good position. I just got my raise, plus another raise, plus I am ever closer to making 6 months hauling. I am hanging on by a hair; I saw my report from a couple weeks ago. The weekly was just below goal, I mean a hair's away from being 95%. I was so mad, and I panicked a little bit, until I flipped the page and saw my 4 week, which was 97%. And yes, I did double check to cover my bases (admit it, you saw that coming!). As long as one or the other score is 95% or above, then you're good. And that low score came from the week us haulers were locked into only hauling from 4 doors each, no back-hauling, nothing! And lucky me was down on the complete opposite end of D dock, 801. So mad! Not one hauler made their numbers that day, that should be illegal, and when they want to complain about us not making our goal, DON'T LOCK US INTO DOORS LIKE THAT! Whew. Okay, rant done.
I am one month away! Then I can (hopefully) relax a bit, and actually start to have fun with the job (not that I'm not already-flying around the warehouse on a machine is fun as hell!). So yeah, happy anniversary to me, and happy almost 6 months. I can do this!
And now, the bad news. I received word yesterday that my uncle is in the hospital. I'm not sure exactly what he had, but they got him to the hospital, and he is in a medically-induced coma. I'm hoping he will be okay. It doesn't look good, and my dad is upset and worried. Prayers are appreciated, and I'll update when I can. I just lost my other uncle three years ago (almost to the day), I really don't want to lose another one. I'm going up to the hospital later on to be with family.
Until something changes, hopefully for the better, I'm going to get through my only work day tomorrow, and enjoy my weekend. Because life still must go on, and I'm sure he'd want it that way. This has been a good week, can't wait to continue it tomorrow night.
Peace.
