New Job

Been a while, eh?

I started a new job on Thursday (11/10). I work at the Amazon warehouse in Lexington. The first night wasn't so bad. We were only there five hours and in training for four of that.

Starting the 2nd night, we had to walk about 15 miles per shift doing the job. After two nights, I can barely move. The first night I asked Chris to take my shoes off because I could not bend down. He put some Ben Gay on them and they felt a little better. Standing up in the morning was a ... well, it was tough anyway. :)

The 3rd night, i was sliding my feet along the floor (as opposed to walking) by the time I was done. We also got the news that there was required OT this week, but we had our choice of Sunday, Monday or Tuesday. I did not think I could survive another consecutive night, so Sunday was out; neither did I want to work 5 days in a row on the other end (T-SA) so Tuesday was out...so I'm breaking up my weekend and going in on Monday night.

Soaked my feet in epsom salts earlier and they feel a little better.

Another proof to me that there is a God, because I had no strength of my own to finish that shift on Saturday-Sunday. Especially when I found out when I was ready to walk out the door that I had forgotten my glasses and had to go back up to the 3rd floor (by the stairs) to get them. When I got out to the van and took weight off my feet they hurt so bad it was either pound the side of the car or cry....I chose the former.

The ride home was an adventure as well. I started out in Lexington with 1/8 a tank. I was not even sure I could make it home. I was going over in my mind places on the way home where it would be safe for me to pull over and make a call. Thank goodness for the cell phone Chris bought for me to take to the job and back. I made it home w/the indicator on the gas gauge on the lower part of empty.

Then I was "attacked" by Gabby and her puppies. Not really attacked, of course, but it was cold and they were happy to see me. I had to hold onto the side of the van to stand up under the onslaught. :) And I held onto the side of the house when I got to it.
