    So today, I ran out of AL siding to bail and was sitting around on the tow motor (which I was taught how to drive!!!!!!) wondering what to do since the copper guy didn't need any help and neither did the AL can guy. The ''runner'' as I like to call him answered ''you got it all done'' when I hollered for more AL and said he ddin't have any more room to stock the bails lol. lol. I freaking rocked them out of the bailer, bailed 10,000 lbs in 3 days.



    Finally I was told to separate the E-Waste. Wellllll....lets just say I don't agree with how they sort buuuuuuut its not my place to disagree right now. They have 3 barrels for the boards - low high grade (WTF is that??), mid grade and high grade. IMO the ''low high'' grade and mid grade looked the same and I didn't agree with what he was telling me but I sorted to his specifications. They also have gaylords for the low grade boards. They do not break down hard drives, not sure why so I was thinking of asking how much they pay for them and figure out if its worth it for me to buy them from him.

    The yard does let you buy from them BUT its at a triple cost. I'd have to figure out if its worth it and they may not even let me buy that stuff since its good stuff.

    I also noticed that last time I broke down MY scrap I made sure I broke down to their sorting specifications because otherwise I figured if I didn't do it at home I'd be stuck doing it at work lol.

    The other lady that was hired same time as me didn't return after last week Friday, she was being paid cash daily whereas I am payroll, not sure why but like I said they never had her doing anything else.

    I had fun with the tow motor, used it to put scrap into the large rolloffs outside for play and moved the bins around. Told the second in command ''I'll see you in a few hours'' lmao! Boss said ''give her a license'' lol. Now, I have my eye on that muncher thingy they drive around to load scrap into the rolloffs and move AL inside with. Dang but that thing looks like all kinds of fun!!!!!!!!!! (I'm drooling with anticipation). I figure now that I can drive the tow motor I don't have to WAIT for someone to bring me product to bail, I get it my own dang self!! Being so short I did forget to put the seat back and the next guy to use it said ''WTH?? How do you adjust this seat?? Where's the handle??'' lol, he was in a hurry so I ran over and fixed it. Oopsie!!!

    I really haven't had time to look for things outside being so busy but the one guy who works there already buys any AC's and dehumidifiers that come in and takes them home to break down and resell for value (darnit anyways!!)
