So I finally have something other than kinda sorta doing remote tech support for my parent's companies. It's a "light production" job at a smallish gluten (and dairy and egg) free bakery.
After day one, what I like is the lack of customers. It's also pretty straightforward and laid back. My CWs seem fine, but another thing I enjoy is due to the fast pace and noise, there's not much conversation. Also, lots of hours, 40+ hours though not this week since they aren't working on Friday.
On the other hand, I failed to anticipate how taxing it is to stand for 9 hours (It was a full 9, I'm not including lunch). That sounds stupid, but omg my feet hurt right now. My hands hurt from the way I grab various things and how I close the clamshells. For nearly the entire time I was putting muffins into containers. It's not really a hard thing to do, but after that long I was really struggling.
I think I'll do better once I get used to it. I hope.
