One More Day

Well, only one more day to get through in terms of the work week and then I get to enjoy both a day off and some fun tomorrow night. Work yesterday was simply not the best for me. On two different occasions I had to go re-stack my pick (the product that I was assigned to select) because I had stacked a few boxes on their respective sides, and they had in turn broken down causing the whole entire thing to lean and almost fall over. Now, you're probably think why did you put it on the skid on its side you dump? Let me tell ya. I believe it was this past Sunday when I was working that a friend (someone who I had gone to high school with and played football with) came up behind me in the aisle I was working in and told me that stacking them on their sides would make my life easier. Looking for anything to help things go faster and my job easier, I did not question him and went on and have been doing so ever since. It made sense.

That was until yesterday when the boxes failed me and I got scolded for doing it because there was runaway product everywhere. After the second incident, the guy putting all the skids on the trucks asked me if another worker had told me to do that. I said yes, and he said he didn't know why the guys who had been working there longer than us new guys decided to tell us to stack them that way. Then he proceeded to tell me not to listen to them anymore. So I'm not going to. It was comforting that he was nice about it too, because like I said I was not having that good of a day and was really frustrated at both myself and the situation.

All else aside, I didn't leave the distribution center until about 11 pm last night, and I'm still tired from work this morning. Like I said though, only one more day of it today and then I at least get tomorrow off to go enjoy a wedding with a friend. I'm really hoping to get Sunday off as well, but I'm not going to be surprised if I don't. The schedule for next week will be posted today, so we'll see if I'm lucky.

Also, made my first bid on an eBay product this morning. I've never done it before, and it was rather exciting but I fear that it quickly is going to become very very addicting. Which is bad, because of how I need to conserve my money for the future aka college.

Oh, well. Go America.

Marketplace: so much closer when its not raining

Alright, I'm going to be perfectly honest with you all on this one: if you don't go to The Ohio State University, or have never visited (and when I say visited I mean stayed over a night and ate with someone during the day) you more than likely will have no idea what in the world I'm going to talk about right now. As for all my fellow Buckeyes who may read this, including the two that I enjoyed a delightful dinner at Marketplace with tonight, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. So needless to say, proceed at your own risk. If you think you'll get bored or annoyed or anything of that nature, here is something else you can do to entertain yourself. Ok, so first off let me start by saying that being a member of North Campus has both its positives and negatives, much like every other living place on campus. The positives are (from the way I see them) as follows: close to essentially all the main buildings where classes are, close to High St. and Lane Ave., ...

My First Legal Drinking Age Post

Hello everybody, and welcome to this, my first blog post as a legal American Drinker. As some of you know, my 21st birthday indeed was yesterday, and even though this was really the only thing I had to drink last night, I still had an awesome day. While I'm assuming all of you will shake your head at me about the Smirnoff Ice, let me explain myself first. I was able to switch shifts with some of my co-workers so I could have Wednesday (my birthday) off. As a result of this, I took advantage of being old enough to drink alcohol on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. I'm told I had a great time, and surely hope that was the case because of the state my body was in yesterday. The day was rough but I suppose that's how you are meant to felt on your 21st birthday. The reasoning for the Smirnoff Ice being one of a few drinks I had yesterday is this: as is tradition at 137 East Frambes Ave. (better known as the "Incinerator") anytime it is someone's birthday and/o...

Another Realization

As I finally have found some time to sit down and write a bit (work is simply sucking my summer away from me), I can't help but mention the man who in a way sort of inspired me to start this blog in the first place, Mark Titus. He, as I'm sure many of you know is the founder of Club Trillion (you can follow his blog if you want-I do) and has christened this week Nut Up or Shut Up Week because he is doing his best to post on his blog once a day. I mention this because since my own personal blog is called the "Daily Segs" one would figure that I would post on here every single day, and for a while I did do that. During spring quarter was when I began this little beauty and vowed to write every day. I have since gotten away from that for a number of reasons. The easiest one to blame it on is the fact that I'm working 40+ hours a week at a distribution center and after leaving there it is either really late or I am exhausted or both. But the main reason (it pains me t...
