I've finally stuck to consistently updating my blog, a goal I have had for awhile. I know I only post about once a month, but most of the time I'm at work. Working all the time creates for a dull back round for most people's lives, but not mine. Today at work was ridiculously insane and riddled with nothing but drama. I myself got into an argument with a close co worker of mine.

I've only been with this company for 4 months. I make really good money and I do enjoy my job. I go at it everyday. Constantly wiping my brow and clearing the film of sweat from my face. I absolutely love my job, but at times it gets super stressful. I worked 126 hours the past two weeks. My job really doesn't allow me a social life. I miss the company of females and just talking to all my friends. We have no women at work, just a crew of 45 men. Makes for a testosterone-filled and super competitive environment. People are constantly bickering and almost throwing fists. It does make you feel alive though. Besides that everyone treats each other surprisingly well.

Like the usual situation you encounter at many work environments, we divide ourselves into social factions. It is ever present especially when everyone takes lunch or breaks. Since we all takes breaks together and lunch at either 930pm or 10pm. Every group sits at their own table and talks among themselves. I'm lucky enough to belong to the group of the fastest and most accurate order selectors. My brother introduced me to all of them. It was great to be surrounded by the best in the company because that made me want to strive to be just as amazing. They mentored me and were constantly on my ass about every little thing. I wouldn't of had it any other way though.

Today our boss announced that because certain people have been constantly making errors, if you make 4 mistakes you are subject to be fired. This is outrageous because the company policy is that you are allowed 5 mistake in a month AND THEN you are written up. Now it's 4 mistakes and your gone. They even went as far as suspending a co worker who had been training for one error. We pull anywhere from 1000-1600 cases a day. So making one error is literally only about a 1% margin of error. Looking at the sheer numbers makes it seem like its no big deal, but it is. Errors are horrible and completely diminish your confidence. One off day is all it takes to ruin your work week. This isn't such a huge deal to me because I hardly ever make mistakes anymore(knock on wood), however it does always linger in the back of my mind.

I have become one of the best order selectors at work. I was really struggling in the beginning, but I powered through. One the best feelings in the world is looking at my paycheck and knowing that I deserve every single dollar.

On a complete side note a really good friend of mine just got back with her ex. I honestly have been attracted to this girl since we became friends 5 years ago. We literally used to hang out everyday for a straight year. We never pushed it past anything but being friends though. I was going to fess up and tell her how I felt before she told me the news. Now I don't feel like bothering her, or making it seem like I am trying to break them up. Her ex is an outstanding guy and she was the one to dump him in their first go. I have let it go for now. I have been talking to two other girls. One of them seems to young for me. Even though I am 22 and she is 19. Whenever I talk to a girl under the age of 20 I get a feeling of her being to young. I don't know what it is, but I can never shake it. It has nothing to do with her maturity level. It's literally just being under the age of 20. She is super nice and really attractive. Things are going good for now with her. The other girl I am talking to just kinda fell through. I had been texting her for about 3 months before we actually met in person this past Sunday. She photographs really well and was significantly less attractive in person. It might seem shallow but physical appearance does play a big part on whom I decide to date.

I have put dating on the back burner for now. I am content with where I now stand in my life. I make great money and have my own apartment.I definitely wouldn't mind meeting an awesome down to earth girl to share my riches with but for now I stand alone. If any TLers want to ever get together and grab a drink PM me or simply comment! I enjoy craft beer, League of Legends, Starcraft 2, football, boxing, bodybuilding, photography, and Olympic weightlifting. If any of you share common interests lets get together sometime and watch/do said thing! I have never been to a barcraft so hopefully I can make it out to one and meet all you beautiful souls.
