This is old news, but I’ve been wanting to write about it for a long time too. Joy got a new job, and with that job came a company cell phone. So, Joy worked something out with her comapny to get an upgraded phone somehow, and her new phone has Bluetooth.

I passed the sort test tonight!!! Finally!! That means I’ll be getting a $150 gift card to Best Buy and a $1/hour raise. I am really happy. I have been working on this for quite some time, but tonight I had a really hard night and so I stayed after work and studied, practiced, and took the test over and over again until I got the necessary 98% accuracy and 1200 pph (pieces per hour.)

The honeymoon has officially ended. Besides the fact that everything is a little more exciting with a wife, it’s back to the normal daily grind of school and work for David. He just left for work and we are not in each other’s presence for the first time since we were pronounced husband and wife four days ago.

The last post was getting kinda long, so I thought that any discussion about the rehearsal dinner should get it’s own entry… so, here goes…

Today is my wedding! I am really excited about the whole thing. Unforunately, I can’t sleep yet. This isn’t so good, but it’s not so terrible either, because I still need to finish my vows, work on my reception toast and maybe pack for the honeymoon… all things that can be done with late night nervous energy, instead of tomorrow (I don’t work so well during the day anyway, right?)

To start this story I am going to jump back to earlier in the week and then to the end of the night on Thursday.

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’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.

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…
