Thglimited - Heavy Industries

I don’t mean to keep my readers in the dark.  It has been a week since my last post.  I’m going to add a small update.

I started work on Monday.  My first day was from 8am to 4pm.  I barely made it on time after waking up at 7:15am according to my back-up alarm.  I wore a pair of new black slacks I had bought the day before and hadn’t had a chance to wash, dust off, or iron.  I wore my black tennis shoes with gray stripes that I wasn’t confident were acceptable.  No one said anything about my hair, facial hair, or shoes.  I didn’t pack a lunch or buy anything, but Athena’s breakfast sandwich and an apple got me through.  I also had my Thermos of water, which helped.  I’m considering Gatorade powder next time, but it’s not a sweaty job and I never have to go outside.

I was shown the ropes and almost dropped right in without much instruction.  The registers are simple and user friendly until you get an error that isn’t helpful and the solution is convoluted.  The cash handling and credit is simple enough though.  Scanning items and bagging is easy.  I have been signed up as a clerk/cashier and the reason was explained to me, but it didn’t make sense and it was said to be temporary.  My nametag says photo department though and I started training for it.  I got the run down on the chemicals and the procedure for a test that is done every other day.  I developed a roll of film from shattering a disposable camera, development, and printing.  I helped a couple people with the Kodak digital machine, and some other things.  The rest was paper work, mostly.

I have been making a website for my engineering portfolio.  I was searching for engineering jobs across the country and one required a portfolio and suggested having a website and gave an example of a free host.  I checked out the host and tried their software and I like it.  I have a website that I am developing at bmw86us.moonfruit.com.

My next day of work is Friday 8am to 5pm.  There were only 16 hours for me this week, but next week should be more.  In the meantime, chores, job search, and website updates.

That’s all folks.
