None of the deodorants/antiperspirants that I have been using over the past few work well when I am at UPS, so I decided to try the new Addidas antiperspirant this week. I figured that it is supposed to be sporty and would thus work better when I am in a hot feeder moving boxes for four to five hours a night.
So, far so good. If only the smell was appealing.

Today’s dietary intake…
Breakfast = 2 Klondike Bars and a glass of water. (Does toothpaste count?)
Snack at School = 1 can of Diet Dr. Pepper
Lunch = X number of cookies from Costco + milk + Leftover Pasta.
Snack at work = Over a Liter of water.
Dinner = X number of cookies from Costco + milk
What’s going on here!?!
I don’t normally eat like this.
Don’t tell Joy if you want me to live! Well, at least give me ’til the end of the week so I can start eating right again.

Well, today was my second day of loading all by myself, and my shift supervisor, Nick, came and talked to me. He told me that I did well on Friday — no misloads, no missed scans, no mistoggles, and I am getting faster. He also told me that for this first week of working alone he’d allow me to yell for help twice each night. Then during the second week of working alone I’d only be able to call for help once a night.
As it turned out the night wasn’t so busy and I managed to hold it down by myself and work clean the entire night without calling for help. I ended up loading a full semi, which was 985 packages. My load typically gets up to 1200 packages a night, so it was a light night for a Monday, but not so terribly light.
This is such a fun job!

I moved for about 4 hours yesterday with Mike and then I went off to UPS to work on loading boxes into a feeder for another four and a half hours. I am pretty tired and all my muscles are really tight. Even my eyes hurt. To make matters worse there is construction going on right outside of my new apartment. That woke me up with the loud noise of many trucks backing up constantly and the apartment shaking intermittently.
I am beyond tired and frustrated with this new living situation already.

I’m moving again tomorrow. I just reserved a little in-town U-Haul and have Mike scheduled to help me early in the morning. Hopefully I can get everything done and not wear myself out too much for work Tuesday night. Speaking of work… I gotta get going to UPS soon. Today is my first full day of working. Should be exhausting.

I was just checking up on some Gators baskettball (12-4 Conf/ 22-7 Ov-A) and I noticed that we beat Kentucky last week. Why doesn’t anyone tell me these things!?! Am I really this busy? Man, it is good to be on Spring Break right now… I have time to catch up on important things like the Gator’s very good chance to make it into the SEC tournament this year. We might even win it!?! Wow. I wish this could have happened a year or so ago when I was there, but this is still really awesome.

Today is just Thursday, but I have this weekend in mind already. There is a lot going on… maybe too much, but that remains to be seen.
Here’s what is on my plate for now…

I have been searching for a copy of this game that I used to play when I was a kid. I remember playing it with my friends, but I never owned and still do not have a copy. I found one on Ebay yesterday that was in near mint condition with all the instructions, inserts, etc in the original box. (Yeah, it’s sad but that is important to me.)
Anyway, I want to get a SNES version of the game, but I don’t want to pay too much for it because it is so old. I could get a copy on Amazon.com for $40, but I am in no hurry. I’ve waited over a decade after all. Plus, my SNES is in Gainesville in Jenn and Lana’s apartment (-style dorm.)
I told them I’d get them a SNES if they helped me win an XBOX. They did, I did, so they have my SNES… (I’m secretly hoping that they give it back at the end of their degree programs, due to the fact that there are more than one of them and only one SNES.)
