Just kidding, I've had a little bit of fun.
For starters, I got a summer job at an auto parts warehouse. My job was warehouse picking. All day, I pulled around a big box and scanned items and put them in the box. Then when that box was full I would do it again. Sounds boring, so let's throw in some fun statistics!
Throughout my job this summer I:
- Worked 498 hours (dang, I was so close to a cool number!).
- Scanned ~ 76,000 items.
- Swore ~ 1,500 times. (I figure 25 a day is a pretty good estimate. And that's only 3 an hour, so it's barely PG-13)
- Made more money than both of my Alaskan summers combined!
I worked with a bunch of old dudes, and they loved making fun of me. Which I was completely ok with. I guess one of these guys went to college and now he's a "cardboard technician." He goes around and picks up empty cardboard boxes. So they are looking forward to me graduating college so I can go back to the warehouse and be a cardboard technician.
Every couple of days, one of the old dudes would ask another, "How is {wife's name} doing?" and everyone would bust out laughing. I never understood what was so funny about it. It took me about a month but I finally figured it out. It's like a mystery/riddle thing. Can you figure it out?
Answer: This question was asked to those workers wearing "wife beaters" or those undershirt/tank top dealies. So when someone would wear a wife beater to work, someone else would ask how their wife is dealing with being beat. ha. ha. Crazy old dudes.
Whew, that's a lot of blogging! I really did do some fun things this summer, but I think it's going to have to wait for another post. Which may be a long long time from now, so don't get too excited.
