Kit's Kitty Korner [back to work]

[Gingerale]

Probably! Sometimes the body needs an energy boost.

[npixelz]

Let's hope it stays like that for at least a little while

[Kitalpha Hart]

Well, at shift tonight we should be finding out about overtime. Or tomorrow, tho tomorrow will be cutting it close because we don't go in Thursday

[Gingerale]

Closed for New Year's?

[Kitalpha Hart]

Yup
I'm not gonna complain tho

[npixelz]

I know what you mean. Any time off is like; sure, it's less money, but gosh darn it I want to be off at that time

[Kitalpha Hart]

Less pay if I were hired via temp agency
I was hired direct so I get holiday pay

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Oh nice score on the holiday benefits, Kit!

[galled]

That's really good you got paid holidays so soon! 90 days and six months before paid holidays is typical in my experience.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Oh yeah being company, I have that immediately
Hit 30 days, had a one on one brief meeting with the supervisor. He basically said that the biggest problem I have is I'm not trained on all the lines but that isn't even my fault. He doesn't have the people enough to have me on other lines
That meeting scared me at first because either I was getting fired or he wanted to know if I was willing to go to backpack
I know backpack sucks. Plus it doesn't have a third shift. Naaaaaaw
Thankfully just seeing how I'm doing
Did tell him that the gloves for my right hand were getting pretty well shredded so we went to get me fresh gloves. Turned out my number didn't work so he used his. So, in all, not a bad day, despite being on a different line because he had the people for it today
Yesterday I was on that line too, I figured I was about 90%. Cuz if I got stressed, my head would start kicking my ass. Today, it didn't happen. I hit 100%, I could trim on the line without help. As in the guy training me started doing other stuff instead
Line had a shutdown at lunch, so I got to pack it out after my break and then go to a different line and help them with packing. Which became an easy easy easy thing. Literally stapling the warning paper around a pump. But it needed to be done so I didn't really care

And apparently it's hard to stay out of the drama there. So far, I've been keeping out

[Gingerale]

Can't believe it has been 30 days already! That went by fast! Glad you are doing so well! <and you got new gloves>.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Sounds like you have a lot to do in a day, Kit. Are you liking the job then?

[Kitalpha Hart]

It's a job. If I make union, then I'm really keeping it. If I don't, well, back to my summer job I guess

[Cryptid]

*creeps back into the thread*
Hi. Don't mind me, just been living in a black hole >_>;;

[Lemon Cheesecake]

If it's better pay and benefits then I hope you get the job!

We all feel like we've been living in a hole this year, Cryptid. Here's to pulling our heads out more often!
