New job and stuff

hey everyone,

Sorry it's taken me so long to post again. I recently just started my new job and I haven't had much time to do anything else. The job is cabinet installation. It's hard work. We install a set of cabinets a day, put down underlayment for vinyl flooring, and put on counter tops. Some of the guys are so fast they can put in two sets a day. We start very early and don't have set hours. Basically we work until the job is done. My first day I started at 5:30 am and got done at 8:00 pm. This first week has been really kicking my butt. However, I think I'm starting to get used to it. We'll see how the next week goes. Eventually when I get fast enough I'll be doing piece work, meaning I'll get paid for each cabinet I put up, each piece of trim, each sheet of underlayment, etc. If you are efficient and can be quick you can make a good chunk of money. Right now I'm paid hourly, and probably will be for a while since I'm so new to this. Fine by me though. It's going to take me a while to get really good.

At first I wasn't sure I wanted to do this because the hours can be just exhausting, but by the end of the week I was able to work fast enough and got done earlier. I was a little worried after the first day. If each day lasted until 8, I basically had to go home and go right to bed.

Anyway, I have to run some errands but I'll do another post this evening. I promise!
