[QUOTE="gostillerz, post: 352119, member: 13363"] I've been using a brace, and gloves. Much better! My habit was over-reaching for packages. I've been slowing down a bit to lift with legs. I figured I better learn this right and be slower now, than work fast now and be crippled later. I'm going to try to just go for PM. There's only 4 of us, a little slower pace, everyones much cooler-headed, and we get pizza twice a week. AM I unload 3.5 trailers, PM I only load 1.5. Plus, I just know what I'm doing more in the afternoon. doing both shifts, plus my regular job is a bit much. 18 hour days really suck. Afternoon supes tell me that I'm doing a great job, everyone talks. AM supes just say faster, faster, keep the packages on one side of the belt so the scanner doesn't have to reach for the labels. They're not bad people, just much more demanding and annoying. Every morning I get "are you ready to work"? Well, I'm here right? Maybe tomorrow when he asks that I'll ask "Are you ready to supervise". He can take a joke I think. Besides my venting, I like the job now that I'm a little used to it. I just wish I knew about this after high school instead of being 10 years behind. [/QUOTE]
