I got a job recently at this warehouse, good work, nice people, fair pay, but the most TIRING experience both physically and mentally. Yeah, this is my first job (after looking for months and months) and it's great to finally have an income while doing college, but damn is it dragging.
I've been working at this place for like 6 weeks now with the first 2 weeks being the most tiring, but as weeks have went on I started to forget that I was even working, just floating by as days went on. I've also lost my earphones to so I have NO MUSIC AT ALL :'(.
The people there are nice, sometimes they bitch about each other but who doesn't, and with me making a bunch of mistakes on my first couple of weeks I 100% know that some (if not all) can't wait for me to finish my summer work so they don't have another liability to worry about fucking things up.
My boss is confusing though, like VERY confusing. It's not really passive aggressiveness but more like a distaste to my presence, or me just overthinking everything.
As I said earlier, the work is very physically demanding, like the average weight of the stuff I pack are around 30kg each (usually multiple stuff), with the most heaviest thing I had to carry being around 60kg, which I thought I could lift perfectly fine by myself, which I could, kinda, but also caused something to happen in my back that made a part of it turn numb, only lasted a day though. Most heaviest order I've had to pack was around 330kg, a bit more or less.
Overall, having this job has been the most tiring but rewarding thing, maybe I'll ask to do some part time while at college if I need some cash on the side.
See ya later :D

Whoa, im just about to start a new life in college and reading this made me realize im really gonna explore a whole new world.
I hope everything goes well for u and u graduate with big muscles and a fat wallet
Thanks alot, college is great, but getting friends is harder cause people won't really speak to you as easily cause it ain't like high school when people have to speak to you, but college is awesome. Getting a job is harder to do, especially in these times, but I also wish you the best of luck :D
