I'm a package handler! (Job Thread)

The PrimeThe Prime regular
edited August 2007 in Social Entropy++
So I'm being trained this week to be a package handler for FedEx Ground.

Earlier today, when I was being trained on how to stack boxes, my trainer completely crushed a box, and his response was "yeah, that's ok, these things have to go all the way to California anyway"

Here at FedEx Ground, we strive to ensure that each package reaches its destination not only promptly, but in the best condition possible. If a customer receives a damaged item, they may choose to no longer use FedEx as their chosen carrier.

But you know, it's not terrible.

So what do you dudes do for a paycheck?

    I get 13 bucks an hour with no overtime for my microbiology lab skills at a food processing plant.

    It's not terrible but not great either...and Corvallis is expensive to live in for the size of the town.

    I'm seriously considering looking for a Job somewhere else in the Pacific Northwest...and now that I have friends and acquaintances (and family) in Portland and Seattle a move to either of these is looking more and more likely.

    I'm a flyperson. I make $11 an hour putting out printing plates on the presses so the pressmen can print the papers.

    My boss recently told me that I might get moved into th plateroom, though, which I think would be around $13 an hour making the plates that the flypeople put out on the presses so that... well, you get the idea.

    It's a pretty entertaining job. By that I mean the people that work there are entertaining and the job tends to keep you busy.

    My favorite part of it is when I have nothing to do, I can just sit around and read a book or something.

    Jordyn, you wouldn't believe the various shapes, sizes, and densities of the packages I have handled today alone. On a good day, I can handle over 400 packages per hour.

    I handled, literally, a truckload of packages. They put the small ones in bags.

    Seriously though I am excited for being moved into the plateroom if I actually do.

    Mainly because I won't have to wear those damn earplugs because it's not very noisy in there.

    I'm a structural engineer.

    This entails designing things and checking things. Often this involves ringing people up from all around the world including australia (or more commonly emailing them) and telling them quite politely that they are useless and don't know what the fuck they are doing.

    That bridge that collapsed over the mississippi? That was a giant nerd-gasm for me.
