Ouch! :(

Ouch...it hurts to type this post? So why am I doing it? I guess I'm just that dedicated LOL! Today was day 2 of my new (temporary) job. It's at this place called Creative Products and we're basically doing manufacturing work. I'm working in an assembly line that is packaging Memory Garden Markers. On Monday, I spent 7 hours and 40 minutes (it's an 8.5 hour shift, with 2 10 minute breaks and a 30 minute lunch break) on my feet, peeling UPC stickers and sticking them on the bottom right corner of approximately 4,000 boxes. We did just under 7,000 boxes on Monday.
Today, I got a new job. This time I was taping the garden markers to the boxes that they're in to keep them from sliding during movement. Almost 8 hours of holding a tape gun and twisting my wrist! My fingers kill!!! See that picture? The tape gun was wearing down the skin on my fingers, so I used athletic tape to bandage them up. Tomorrow, I'll start out using the athletic tape.
I think I'm going to go in search of a lot of chocolate now...and a nap sounds good.
