I'm back.

*crickets*

Anyway.....I finally made it to Wednesday! Today, I am officially free of the chains that were a step 2 at work. Now, I am down to just one occurrence, which expires next month. I can breathe a little easier now. Well, we'll see how well that works out. Now I feel I can truly begin and see just where this job takes me. Take that, you stupid unloading job! I still hate being under that pressure, but now, I won't freak as much, just as long as at least one of my percentages is good. Friday will mark 6 months that I've been a hauler. With this cold still kicking my ass, I haven't had much time to think about my options. I am leaning towards just coasting for a little while, enjoy the perks of driving a machine all over dogde for a little while, and enjoy the freedom of not being under the 6-month probation. As much as I hate the stress of production, I really don't know how I'd handle being at a desk now. I'm sure I'd do well, but not being able to travel around, I'd think that would make the days go by slower. Being a driver, the days fly by, as you're so focused on the task at hand. I have my hours timed perfectly now; I only look at the clock on the screen to mark off an hour's worth of production. Now, if I can work on focusing on going to the right isles without getting numbers backwards (I'll end up in isle B7, when I should have turned on B5, etc), then I'll be okay. I know I keep saying I need to start paying better attention, but then when it's actually time to go, my attention span gets shot to hell. Stupid distractions! At any rate, I made it this far, I can't wait to see where it goes from here....

At the same time, I finally get my new toy today (if UPS doesn't fuck up). I bought me an iPod Touch, and I've been foaming at the mouth for a week waiting for it to get here. I get to play with it and set it up, just in time to go back to work! Mostly I bought it for the apps, as I can play games for free, and of course listen to music (I already have a playlist set up for when it gets here), and mostly to keep up with technology. I can message my friends unlimited for free with a facebook messenger app. If a stuffy nose doesn't keep me up all night, playing with the iPod definitely will. I just wish this cold would go away, so I can resume my normal life. *sigh*

I'm off to go hunt down UPS.
