My new job




Since Bryon started up school again in August he has had to cut his hours in half at work so i needed to find a part time job that i could still stay home with Zoey but also bring in enough money to supplement what we needed so i found a job at UPS. They had 3 different shifts so i chose the 10 pm to 3 am one so bryon would be home. Zoey is in bed by 8 so he got off lucky and just has to be there haha :) I started last Monday and was in training so my first real day loading the semi trucks was on friday, loading a truck with packages is actually alot harder then it sounds lol. who knew there was an actual technique to loading packages but there is and if your good a tetris it definitely helps :) Its pretty fun actually trying to make all the packages fit together in just the right spots. the hardest part is the zip codes, each truck has either 5 to 30 different zip codes that can go in that truck and if you load one that's not supposed to be in there you have to go back and take down what you loaded to find it. it sucks i did that on the first night once and that will be the last cuz i don't want to do that again! its seriously like finding a needle in a hay stack. its extremely hot in the trailers and i'm super sore this week but once i get used to it it'll be great :D
