One week in

So I have been at my new employer for a week.  And its... well, it kinda sucks.  My hands hurt like hell.  My feet hurt like hell.  My ankles hurt like hell.  I'm tired.

The area of the warehouse faces east.  So I get the sun on my side first.  That mean my side of the warehouse heats up first.  I also always have at least 4 truck bays open.  That means the A/C is pretty ineffective.  And to top it all off the only way I can have water in that area is if it is in a CVS provided water bottle that I have been asking for for a week now and have yet to receive.  So its hot, crazy dusty and its back breaking work.

But its a job and I'm getting an amazing 8 hour a day workout.  the average wooden pallet weighs about 40 pounds.  I pick up and stack about 120 per hour.  For 8 hours.  Yup, its a whole lot of fun.  But in the past week I have lost a little over 5 pounds and almost 7% body fat.  BTW 7% body fat for me works out to about 18 pounds so that means that somehow I gained a bunch of muscle.  :-)

All in all it is not worth the pay.  But I am trying to stay positive and look at the bright side.  Lets all hope that something else comes along soon.
