Yesterday was an amazing day at work and the weather was gorgeous and I packed 1,020 part's on my 1,020th day of sobriety from alcohol. Work was hosting an appreciation lunch for all of us associate's hosted by management and HR. BBQ burgers with all the fixings,chips,pop and water. It was held at one of the plant's and upper management knows me really well and I'm close to those I call my family that I work with. Management knows me as a good working horse which I really am. I aim for 1,020 to over 1,100 parts a day and sometimes I get to work with my wife as one of my driver's. No driver has been able to keep up with me. I don't just pack part's that gets brought over to Honda...I sweep a lot,scan and fill out paper work for each rack,I deal with the compactor room,get copies of the paperwork I need,grab the scanning sheets I meed for each rack and plus side job's for my supervisor and section leader. I love my job and the fact that I work on the same shift as my wife is great. My job is physically and mentally demanding so I have to be strong in every way for my job. I really am a work horse. When my wife is my one of my driver's (have 2 to 4)sge sees everything I do and the heavy lifting I do and all the heavy bins(more with everything in it)I push and pull manually without any help. Sometimes the drivers need me to help them with something. I use to be a forklift operator for the company I work for until sh*t happened in one of the buildings almost 2 year's ago and all the meds I'm on prevents me from operating heavy equipment. My job is dangerous especially as a packer considering I'm dealing with very sharp metal,dust,metal shards and all of that plus heavy equipment,machinery and other factors. One day my wife and I will be able to retire and travel more
