So far, so good. More to come in the next few days.
What's wrong with this thread? It may be more interesting if there was actually some kind of .....well....information.LOL.
Bump....this is an awesome thread! ;)
UMMMMmmmmmm.....
??????
Hell yeah!!! You go get it man knock 'em dead...whatever it is you're doing LOL
It pertains to my job. I may be getting a huge promotion. I've been asked to step up to backup supervisor, and I've put in for it. Now...it's in the hands of management. :)
Bad part is, it has me going from second shift to third. Definite pay increase, as well as being taught/learning a lot more about the machines.
I'll post more after I've had my second interview..should be either today or tomorrow. :)
That's cool! I hope it works out for you.
Hell yeah!! Congrats buddy!! hope this works out in your favor :)
Good luck on your interview!
good luck
Thanks! I blew it.
Just kiddin'! Next Monday, I start off the week on third...midnight to 8 am. Guess I always did want to be a zombie...lol
I've gotta have a chat with my co-workers on second shift....they seem to think I've got a beef with 'em for wanting to leave. Ain't so. :(
It'll work itself out though. Can't sweat the little stuff.
Congrats! Hopefully night shift will be good to you. I worked it for a couple years and I hope I never have to again. It's just not for me, I never felt good when I worked that shift. But for other people it's thier shift of choice. Good luck I hope it works out for you.
I worked third shift once before (same place, even) but this was in 2003-04....Most of the people on that shift then are still there.
I'm hoping I can have better family time AND time to do stuff around the house.
Here's a little update:
Tomorrow is the end of my third week as Production Tech, and last night I was acting supervisor. Good stuff. I've learned a lot, but what has yet to be learned is near to overwhelming.
And that's just the mechanical aspect. There's paperwork to be responsible for, as well as crewing and whatnot.
We're also getting a new blow molding machine (Bespooge H155, about a million and change, ready to run) so there's a whole new thing for us all to learn as well.
Pretty nice little bump in the wallet too. Everything has been smooth, so far. As long as I can stay uninjured and sane, we'll be golden. For what it's worth, the supervisor is an old and close friend of my aunt and my mom, the three of them were actually in school together, but I didn't get any favors pulled for me in getting this job. In fact, I bid on it once before about a 8 months ago, but someone else beat me out for it...then he just pointed out. Weird.
I've also been getting a good bit of sleep, even though I want to stay up till 3 or 4 in the afternoon and play with the kids, or the cars, or do stuff outside, but as long as I'm in bed by 2 and up again at 9:30 or 10 it's all good.
Just thought I'd update (as if anyone really cares) bwahahaha
ok? How did it go?
A lot better than I've expected lol
Midnights rule! I came off them in December (not my choice) I may be going back though.
Congrats Beau, it's a great opportunity. Learn everything you can. I worked in plastics all my life practically, and enjoyed it immensely. :D
What kind were you in???
We make plastic bottles, HDPE and sometimes runs of Polypropylene. Fun stuff, and it's proof that hard work pays off, I'll have been there 4 years this coming November.
:)
I worked at PMP, which made bread trays, dairy cases window shutters and various food industry stuff. We also did some automotive side jobs. We used Pe, Pp, styrene hdpe. I also worked at an automotive supplier for a bit, and we used abs, and polycarbonite alot. Fun stuff for sure, we were plastic injection, sounds like you might be blow moulding?
Congrats, Beau!
I'm glad it's working out for you Beau!
