Cheers Mates

I just done a Massive shop for supplys & bunged 30 quids worth of petrol in the motor

I plan on eating Untold food to compensate for the extra work load & to just generally treat myself well.
I'm up for it

Nice one Malc

Go go go!

And yeah Produce sucks

Not sure what happens at the store I work at as I think the produce stuff comes in with the 6am delivery!

6 -> 8am is crazy busy in our shop

Justsomebloke · 05-02-2009, 10:24

Well Thankfully our New night manager has had a fantastic effect on the whole night shift. For 2 months under the section manager we had our delivery at around 4am which gave us around 3 hours to complete & clear the floor

You getting yours at 6am is just plain Mental mate & if I can say so Blatant Poor Management. Our new manager within an Hour recognised the effect an earlier delivery would have on the nights work & sorted it within 2 weeks, We now get our delivery Before 1am giving us 6 full hours to sort the floor

In my mind I am quite happy about this move as it gives me more of a place amongst my managers team. I will be the only person doing Produce Fri.Sat.Sun & monday nights & once up to speed my Boss can forget about me & the produce section confident that it will not only be done in time but will also be done well. I am quietly confident that if I achieve my aim then my job will be "relatively" secure which is all I want for my efforts

The bonus is the physical effect it will have on my body & how it will extend my fit time of life. I have noticed a deterioration in myself over the last few years & this will not only stop the deterioration but put me back to where I was ten years ago, I have always been fit & up for it & working like this should maintain my form & improve my shape & fitness no end. I am honestly looking forward to being myself again both inside & out

It is funny almost Hilarious how one crappy job stacking shelves for minimum wage could ave such an effect on a mans life & how he feels about himself. I know people look down on me & my job & still I feel happy & confident about myself & my job.
I honestly feel sorry for the majority of people out there that have such high aims/standards for themselves as they will Never know the happiness & contentment a man like me enjoys.
I have had Everything & I have Lost Everything but now I have easily achievable goals & contentment within myself that is actually obtainable.
I am a simple man with simple needs living a simple life for simple pleasures, I am Happy inside & that reflects outwards with no effort whatsoever

So,
Was on Produce last night & had a young chap called Phil from the Lichfield store working with me & training me up, Basically we pissed it, There was 2 of us & Phil taught me well & we just got our heads down threw a few crates about & before I knew it Phil said **** me we only have 7 dollys left, We started with 22

Within the first hour I was doing a dolly with 18 crates on it in ten minutes no problems at all. Phil reckons they are well happy with anybody that does 5 an hour & 6 is sweet & the odd mentalist does 7. Well I don't need to tell you that me doing 1 in 10 mins is 6 an hour & that is on my first night doing it. Usually the first night with work rates you can't even imagine making the targets let alone achieve them so me making the 6 an hour target on the first night bods well for the future

I am Honestly Crapping myself about whether I get laid off in 4 weeks or they keep me on, They have layed off so many people & have told a few they have jobs, To me they hav said nowt yet, I keep telling myself this & that but Honestly I am crapping myself.
To be kicked out after all this effort would be a Major kick in my old sacks

I should also add that my section manager was there last night. Within 10 mins there was an oppurtunity to speak to him alone in the warehouse. I apologised for my out burst & re-assured him it won't happen again. He just looked at me, Held out his hand & said Lets just put it behind us & move on

The Dude gets Major respect from me for not making a big thing out of it or giving me a lecture & making me feel the **** that I am/was.
He is quite Obviouly a bigger man than me

Kell_ee001 · 07-02-2009, 11:45

Sounds like you had a great first night

Glad the manager wasn't difficult over the last outburst and now you can stop berating yourself too

Even if, possible especially if, the new department is harder I think moving was a good idea. Not only will you be working it single-handed but you're also now trained in 2 areas. More areas you show you're willing to work on and the more experience you get at the different jobs, the more secure your job will be

Good move JSB

Another really good night, No faults at all, A Zero

The night before we had 1 fault but that was wrong

+

We are allowed 3 faults but most sections get around 5 & some times up to 9

Tonight is the real test though as I will be working it alone, I'm not worried though, It'll be hard work but I am very confident of getting it done in time. My hours have moved back to 10pm till 7am as of last night which don't bother me none.
I want to go in tonight & complete it on my own & get no more than 1 fault then I will be happy.
I'll be eating & sleeping as much as I possibly can today

Think of me whilst you kick back & relax late this evening or curl up into your nice warm beds as I will be working my nutz off.
