Part venting, part FYI.
They have been after my position for nearly a year and I found out yesterday that Friday is my last day doing the warehouse I've been doing for 9.5 of my 10 years with the company. On the one hand, kind of pisses me off to be bumped out being the 2nd senior position at my terminal. Which is where some of my lack of company loyalty as of late comes from. The flip side is, I was going to get out of that warehouse next time I could and I'm getting one of the two warehouses I was planning on taking. I'm getting too old to work this hard and tired of having this hanging over my head. So the reality is, it just sped up the process.
Good news, I have a job. Same job, different scenery. Less physical work, more driving.
Down side, 10-12 hours a day. Variable schedule this time of year. This will cut into my holster time. I used to go in about 6pm and pull 6-8 hours to finish. Now I need to go in 4 hours before the main dispatch to do the first run. And dispatch varies. So I'm loosing my afternoons to work on stuff. At least I'm getting a good jump in pay for my trouble.
Not dropping the holsters right now, hope not to as I go ahead. At least not what I do here. Might have to make some changes with Etsy and eBay though. And it will take longer to respond here so be patient. And for you guys that like to drop by with crazy guns/requests; it just got harder to plan those too. And maybe longer to get orders out. Time will tell.
I'm taking a few days off next week. Kids will be in summer camp so I'll have a few days with just me and my wife. WOOHOOO!!!! Then next Wed my schedule gets turned upside down starting the new warehouse, and Sunday I pick up the extra run and the warehouse. It will be nuts until I get into a routine. For those of you guys that have holsters on order, I'm trying to get them started before things go too sideways.
