Today will be two full weeks and first payday. Day before yesterday, boss shook his head, smiling and said; “You’re pickin’ this shit up quick.”

Mechanical aptitude and something I have over most out here, computer skills, both help a lot. I guess thinking does too and might be a rare thing these days.

Found out who the actual guru is yesterday and he’ll be filling in for the weekday shift manager next week while he’s on vacation. My future manager when I go to weekends tells me I need to learn this machine good because he hasn’t been trained enough on it. I’ll be picking the brain of the actual guru from here out as much I can without being a nuisance.

Payday is every two weeks but due to start date, I’ll get one week’s pay today and already did the math. After bills, I’m broke. In two weeks when I get a full two week’s pay, things will be better. Two weeks after that, fully caught up. Then it’s service and repairs on everything with an engine. Then tunnel time once again.

“...and already did the math. After bills, I’m broke.”

LOL! Sounds like me when I get my SS deposit from, ‘Uncle Sugar.’

You were without a payday for quite some time; I’ll bet it feels good. I hope this job sticks for ya! Sounds good so far. They are lucky to have you. :)
