Definitely have an MP3 player with ya always, though just listening to music for 8 hours straight can become as boring as the job itself, so i like to throw in podcasts and comedy albums. I also lucked out, i get along great with the rest of the night crew (except one old bitch who can die) as we're all like minded and have very similar (sick) senses of humor, so we get alot of laughs out o the night. | ||

we're not allowed to use mp3 players, or allowed to read books. i basically stand in a single spot and feed fliers into a machine, i just have to keep the machine topped off at all times, it takes a certain amount of concentration because they put you on more than one machine at a time, so it can be rather hectic at times to make sure the machines dont run out. we also use really old machines so they get jammed a lot. its quite possibly one of the worst jobs i've ever worked. they also have one of the most malevolently placed clocks of all time, it's almost impossible not to look at it. so the shifts seem like an eternity. i finally know what camus meant by comparing the absurdity of existence with the modern day proletarian. fml edit/ i also work with some of the most insane people you'll ever meet, but its interesting to talk to them so that's really my only saving grace so far. Lol ouch, that sucks alot. You better get paid pretty dam good to work that boringness. | ||

I also taught the 24 year old high school calculus (seriously, from functions [vertical line test], through limits, first principals, to derivatives). We would study like 1-2 hours a day while on the line and we would do problems during breaks. He was trying to go to university and needed to take an equivalency test for calculus but never learned it in high school. We were about to get into product rule when I had to go back to school. No idea if he ever finished nor if he ever took the test and went back to school. | ||

However, my goal in life is to make people smile, and too see their humanity. So, I always go out of my way to find those who stand out. It is rewarding to find those certain few that break the grain. I always keep my mind on those sorts of things. | ||

Technically we aren't allowed to read, but there's noone there to stop us. I read around 20 novels every summer during the nights at the plant. I usually work alongside this 35~ year old guy who's into MMORPG:s. He started playing Meridian in the mid 90s (before that he played MUDs) and he hasn't stopped since, except when he goes to work where he tells me about his recent escapades in whatever game he's currently playing. | ||
