catching a dream
I Have never been known in my past as a hard worker.
But if there is one thing you should know, when i start something, i will finish it. Work today was crazy, two trucks, 4,200 pieces total. normally my day starts at 4:00 where we sign into the computer select our tasks and get to work... As supervisor i select certain people to certain sections of the line as to what departments they will stack. each department has a corresponding number which takes a while to get used to. ask me anything, housewares? department 74 and 14, furniture? 17 and 71... candy? 1.... i know them all. i then choose a thrower, which normally becomes me since i can throw it fast enough to get it done before our 2 hour deadline. the truck is either sweltering hot or significantly cold and its dangerous at times. I love throwing, its like a marathon, if i start it, i know i will finish it, as a supervisor its not my duty to work the trucks, but its my choice, i enjoy coming home knowing i did my best. i have perfected work into an art, knowing each person's trait; selecting them on tasks that best suit them, teaching new associates, stacking, throwing, coaching, i love it because its honest work. after my lunch break at 8 we pull the endless pallets previously stacked to the sales floor in their designated locations so they may be put up to the shelves. where depending on the day ill be doing paperwork for tommorows truck and assigning people new tasks.
Work was so long Noelle, i threw a truck in under 1 hour, for what normally takes 2, i did in half. we had the whole set of managment in the back, instead of have 7 people on the line, we had 15 and the whole time a kept the line packed. i was so tired and sore, i could hardly lift my arms by the end of it all... an honest days work. i love the chaos but i hate it....
I'm now home, read my bible, had top ramen, took a shower, and prayed... now there is silence, and i miss you noelle. I want to be there for u through the hard times and the easy times babe. i have so much to learn,,, your previous post was entitled "Soul Catcher" it reminded me of the native american dream catchers my grandpa made with me as a child. dream catchers are believed to catch nightmares within its web and distinguish of them; capturing your good dreams and sliding them into your mind. babe, your my dream, everything i asked the Lord for in a lady i found when i met you Noelle. I'm in Love, it came out of no where, i least expected it, but the Lord gave it to me babe, i found my heart, i want to be patient for you, caring, understanding, trusting, i want to give you my all because i do not deserve such an amazing woman. Next time we get a chance and can do so, we need to pray together again babe, it was amazing... The Lord is control Noelle :) thank you for everything, i should get some sleep now :) Te Amo Mi Corazon... sweet dreams... i love you...
