Well - I made it through last night. I wasn't really feeling that well when I arrived to work, but after being there for about an hour, I seemed to feel a little better. Of course I got put on a shitty work station last night.
There are stations that are a lot easier than others. I pretty much can handle all the stations with the exception of a select few. The stations that I have difficulty with are the stations where you have to properly stack the items as they are bulky and if you don't stack them properly, when the tote is finished, the machine won't retract the tote back to be sent off because it's too high. The products have to stay under a certain line in the tote so that the lid can close the tote off when complete.
I'm just glad the weekend is here honestly. I'm sore, tired, and a little annoyed to be honest. For the past week I've been asking to change my schedule from the 10 hour shifts, 4 days a week to the 8 hour shifts, 5 days a week because I'm having a difficult time managing the 10 hour shifts. They have been giving me the run around trying to get an answer out of them and when I brought it back up today, I got, "Just keep your schedule the same for right now". NO. I don't want to keep my schedule the same for "right now". I wanted to start working the 8 hour shifts starting this Sunday night (which is the start of my work week).
My medications make me excessively sleepy and my back has been suffering working the 10 hours as well as my pick rate is suffering because of it.
