So I got myself a new job a couple months ago; I'm a cargo monkey at Spokane International Airport. Basicially, if you're shipping anything UPS to Seattle, your package has come through our caring (ha!) hands.
Anyway, I started picking up double shifts to get a little extra cash flowing into the coffers, and I was working my ass off during these shifts. I worked off somewhere to the tune of five pounds in three days, which probably isn't healthy, but I actually felt pretty good about it.
Well, on day three of my afternoon shift, I wasn't actually on the load plan, so they stuck me on the belly loader. Rough translation: I got to do the odd jobs. Not too terribly bad; pull some cans onto the loader for the A300, unload the feeder craft, marshall some odds and ends and whatnot.
Finally, we get to where we're about to pull cones from the A300 and we have a manager come up to me and basicially goes,
"You're not technicially supposed to be running on the ramp. It's great that you're so gung ho, but just cool it. Good job, by the way."
That made my entire week. Oh, that and getting called into the office to fix the computer. That $16,000 computer education really paying off.
