Mornin' Gents! Long time since I've said hello....almost two weeks now, I think. I've tried to keep up by reading everyone's posts, but it was difficult. Let's see, what's been happening. Well, last week was one of those perfect storm weeks with people being out. Bill, the lead in the stockroom, took the first half of last week off, and Steve, the lead in the warehouse, called out sick thinking he had covid-19 (great! I work closely with this guy). With Bill out, that left me in charge of the stockroom, but I'm also the backup for the warehouse. I'm supposed to be in the warehouse if one of those guys are out, or if they get extremely busy. Because Bill was out, they pretty much left me alone...though my supervisor irritated me to no end by insisting on trying to tell me how to do my job. I really hate that. I know how to do my job, so shut up and let me do it. As nice as he is, he's annoying. And he hasn't been with the company but a few months, just shy of how long I've been there, so he knows just enough to get into trouble. Anyways, with Steve out I wound up in the warehouse after Bill got back, and since it's the end of the month, things have been crazy busy. The good news is that Steve doesn't have the covid-19 virus.
I had mentioned earlier that my hot water heater was leaking. In order to clean up the water that had leaked, I had to clean part of the basement. This led me to wanting to organize it instead of just shoving stuff around. So, I've been cleaning and organizing the basement on weekends. This past weekend I took 4 large 40 gallon trash bags full of stuff to the dump, which made a huge difference. There's stuff I tossed out that I should have tossed a long time ago, but for reasons that escape me, I held off. I still have a long way to go, but I'm making progress. Because Pkondz got into running and has told us about his progress, I've been inspired to get back into shape...well, to reshape myself from a round shaphe to something slimmer.
In this whole process of cleaning the basement, I have dug out our treadmill. I haven't plugged it in yet as I still have things on it that I'm not sure where I'm going to put them, but I have dug it out and can now access it. So my goal for this weekend is to get that going again and to start using that.
Well, that's all for now. I haven't had time to re-read this for errors, so if there are any I do apologize. Gotta get going to work. Have fun gents, and I'll chat with ya later.
