Today was the 3rd day of my new job, my first full-time, physical job in 3 years.
Today I also learned that I am an out of shape bitch.
Exhaust pipes get heavy after the 30th one.
The guy training me was like: "protect your back, bro!" and I kinda shrugged it off as: "Whatever, my back's already ****ed..." and what I said was: "Nah, if I **** my back up that just means I'm gonna feel like a dumbass the whole next day." Which, I did, feel like a dumbass the whole day. lmao.
He meant my upper back..."I" (like a dumbass) assumed he meant my lower back. So, the result was, I woke up with a knot in my back at 5:30 in the morning, drove to work with one arm, worked with one harm until about 9:45 AM when he gave me a couple of excedrin to loosen me up.
Okay. Got it. Don't be a cocky bastard. Lesson learned.
These people are pretty cool though, I'm learning a lot about a series of products in wholesale that I didn't know about from my previous wholesale experience. They seem to like me enough to want to keep me, since they don't have to train me to do basic warehouse management ****. I mean yeah, I'm technically the only guy in the warehouse since this is local, but it's a 25K sq ft. warehouse, so that technically makes me an assistant manager again. Sssoo, I passed up retail assistant management for, lucking out into wholesale warehouse assistant management again. I can't complain. I mean, the only complaint that I could have is that the ladder isn't exactly that high in a place like this when it comes to advancement. bbbuutttt it's a pretty solid stepping stone at least.
