So.. I started working for the Distributiom Center about mid February. When I got there, I planned for it to be temporary. I understood it was going to be a three month position. I got there. I worked. I learned and slowly, I became comfortable. Things that were hard at first became habit. Distribution Drama became normal. And the people became friends. I have come to find appreciation for the simple things that are constantly overlooked. I mean, how often does a regular person pick up a book and ask, "how was this book made?' Not the words in them as in the author and editors jobs, but the physical book. I never have. Now every time I'm in church and I pick up a book or a pamphlet or magazine,I find myself doing a "quality" check on the material. I enjoy my job. Not to mention the constant workout I'm getting in. That's a whole different story.
This past week we have been working the English hymn book. The order is so big that it will take a crew to finish it in about 2 weeks. I'm part of the crew. It's usually changed up everyday, and supervisors will schedule me on different machines every once and awhile. But I was "requested" to be on the machine by Mike the operator. This entire past week has been hard work. Every night I have come home drenched in my sweat... I know, grooosssss! But I have to say, I love the thought my my super toned muscles in the near future cause of all this hard work.
Hard work is a blessing in disguise.
So, from my 3 month temp planned job, that turned into 6 months of being temporary. Then they announced that they would hire on 4 people full time and permanent. I applied. There were 16 people going for one of the four positions and I AM ONE OF THEM! Yep, I got hired on. I will be honest. I was a little scepticle about it, but, after thorough analysis I have committed to the job offer. Tomorrow will be my first day as a permanent full time employee.
Tomorrow will mark the beginning to a new chapter in my life.
I have more stories coming up. ;)
