[QUOTE="Ill Bag You, post: 313472, member: 14612"] :D Nice replies guys. I try to keep safety in mind when I'm there, being aware of how I'm moving my body and what's going on around me. I do lose sight of it somewhat when I'm trying to move it along when we get backed up. I noticed my speed has actually increased over the past week or so. I'm thinking partially because I finally started using gloves, but I'm also beginning to find my rhythm. The only thing my sup said to me is basically either go fast, or go slow and be accurate. I used to get all flustered and lose my head when they would move me from one spot to another in the middle of the shift, but I stay on track now. By the way, I wasn't downing the ipod thing. I think it's good to have them, I'd just rather not try sneaking mine past security. Not much of a rule breaker. DS, thanks, I like the way you worded that ;) and everyone else who's pushing the issue of safety. I guess it makes sense to focus on being smooth and accurate and letting the greater speed come with time. I just can't stand being one of the last ones bagging out, or sometimes THE last one. But like I said I'm picking up the pace and I've done it without sacrificing my safety. Small sort is pretty easy, sometimes I think the reason for my lack of speed is that I've lost 120 pounds over the past 2 years, despite my exercise at home and whatnot, my body hasn't grown used to having to be so energetic! But I love what I do compared to most of the other jobs I see, still want to become a sorter somewhere down the line. But man, today sucked, 60% of our mesh bags were wrecked for whatever reason! :anxious: I don't even know how many people filled a bag, zipped it up, and went to throw it on the belt only to have all the packages fall out of the bottom.
