Work Update & New challenge

Justsomebloke · 04-02-2009, 09:24

Ok guys so I am still there

I'm reaping the benefits of being employed & being payed, 40 inch HD TV, New washing machine & my SAAB is proof of that, This is mainly down to initial tax breaks where until I have earnt 5k I don't pay any, I think next month puts me over that so the month after will be normal tax & flat wage

The job goes well & I do a shift without it killing me, It is very physical work & doing it between the hours of 11pm & 8am really knocks you about. For me not only did I have to get used to working again but also had to get used to nights, To say it has been tuff is a massive understatement but I've done it.

Monday night my Manager came up to me & told me he had been looking at how best to use the staff he had & asked if I would fancy a go on Produce. I said If it gives me a better chance of being kept on I'll do owt. So from Friday I will be on Produce.
This is my new challenge & an even bigger one than the last 8 weeks. Produce is the worst job in the store, No doubt about it, I will be on my own doing all the Fruit & veg which comes in those big green plaggy trays. Anything up to 150 of those trays a night full of Apples/Oranges/Cabbages/Lettuces & the like that weigh a ton.
The way I see it is that My manager is thinking about me & this is the Final test on whether there is a Permanent place for me in his team. If I can physically do this job & do it well then I will triple my chances of being kept on.
This is it guys & gals, If this don't kill me then I really do think I have a damn good chance of being kept on

These next few days off I am preparing my head for a full on assualt style attack on Produce, I'm going to get myself proper revved up & blank out any negative vibes/thoughts.
I'll sort my diet out to suit & treat this as a Training regime

Wish me Luck as I will need it
