My first full week at the new job is done and I would say that I’m doing well.
They aren’t really giving me much feedback other than to give me more things to weld up, and to train me on more of their equipment, like the overhead cranes. So I have that going for me.
I put in 55 hours this week so far (9 Mon, 10’s Tue-Fri, and likely another 6 or so today) and have been asked to give 5-10 hour days next week with another voluntary 6 or so Saturday.
People who say that they don’t believe earning a paycheck helps you mentally have probably never worked for a paycheck.
On Wednesday we completed the Big Bertha project that I mentioned previously (with a pause on Monday & Tuesday for some “quick get it out the door” work). Here it is again, this time standing.
No one here is still quite sure what they’re going to do with it, but we reinforced the crap out of the 1x12x18 I-beam, so whatever they’re going to put into it must be very heavy. These weight over 5K each.
Anyway, I’m starting a new project today reinforcing more pieces of I-beam and will try to get some pics while no one is watching.
Very Cool
