Finally Employed

No, I didn't get the job at Walgreens. I'm working out of town this summer.

I'm finally going to work this summer, at Cedar Point as a warehouse worker in the merchandise department. This will be my fourth season working there, and my second in the merch warehouse. The first two seasons I was working in the food warehouse.

I would say I definitely like working in the food warehouse better, just because I don't have to divide bulk items by quantity, just put the item on the pallet and send it off. In the merch warehouse, especially with T-shirts, we usually can't just send an item from off the shelf, we have to take a quantity of the item out of the box and send it to the store. The rest, if they aren't T-shirts, are sent to a location called stock, which is the most annoying part of the warehouse. We have to organize everything by stock number, so it's a real pain when you have number 19876, the box next to it is 19910, and the box you're trying to put away is 19890.

Oh well, not the most exciting or dramatic job in the world, but at least it's a paycheck. I just wish I could get a job at a different company and have a job with more responsibility.
