A new undertaking! How...well, how boring really.

Yes, it was ‘shiny new job’ time for Cliff. The main reason…old job had morphed in to me pretty much pushing shipping paper. That was it. Didn’t take long for me to get a little antsy. Anyway, my dad’s gotten to know some people at a sandblasting company in Nisku (their companies do a lot of business with one another), and he found out they were looking. So, I went and met with the guy and took it. Not being one who tends to move slowly with these things, I start at the new place middle of next week.

Best part of the new gig…the shift hours. 4 pm until 1:30 in the morning. I don’t have to get up early, I get to stay up late, and I’m not living some complete bozarro schedule in total opposition to that of the rest of humanity. And it’s Sunday-Thursday, so I still have my weekends free to do stuff. And this…THIS should be the most telling part of how much I wanted a new gig…I am going to have to work Super Bowl Sunday. My screaming fatwas issued against Kurt Warner and the Cardinals will be in the company of 3 other guys in front of a radio. And if THAT doesn’t get me labeled as ‘interesting’, I don’t know what will!

As for what the job is, a good portion is still shipping/receiving. Up until now they haven’t had someone in that capacity on nights, so someone just basically received and then it was left for days to deal with. Trouble was, if nights needed something on an order they grabbed it, and that led to a lot of confusion because then days couldn’t account for everything. So now I get to do all that. I also get to multitask, though…do some prepping, do some painting, do some sandblasting, do a little bit of everything. I’m looking forward to doing a little grunt work…I need to do a little sweating after being trapped in a goddamn office chair for the past little while.

So, there you go. Now you know…the rest…of the story.
