Day two is in the books. I survived my second day at the new job. I trained with a few of the other team members today and that went well. Of course, I am still trying to get to know their names and just get an idea of what is going on. I think I was helpful today, at least I hope I was somewhat helpful. I basically helped them do things, move this here, move that there. Lift this, move that, go get this. I do know that I am swore from all the walking and moving and lifting. I think I am more out of shape than I thought I was. I guess all my short walks were not enough. I’m just glad the pace is not real fast, it’s pretty relaxed. I’m sure I will get use to it soon enough. I’m going to go relax for a bit and put my feet up. Hope you all had a good day.

Just wait until you have to start going up and down the ladders! Hopefully you get trained pretty quickly on using the Ballymore (electric ladder). I remember how sore I was after my first week on the job.

@Bensen32 A good pair of shoes makes all the difference in the world.

Congratulations on having a new job. Each new school year I start out slow and get sore and then things loosen up and I feel good.
