Not sure how this is going to turn out, but here goes....
Since I don't see most of you anymore with my new hours, I thought I would drop a quick update on the new family blog. By the way, it looks pretty good!
Work is going well, starting to become more comfortable running the machines and working with the people. Theres about 12 of us that work on second shift, of which only 2 are girls. Each night there is a random number of temps that come in, sometimes 3 sometimes 2 or 1, just depends on what kind of job we are running for the night.
Our biggest order is from The Tractor Supply Company, we have an order for around 2.5 million copies of their 70th anniversiary catalog. I was looking in one the other day and was surprised to see some of the stuff they sell-- including dog leashes, barking correction collars (Maybe something for Jake?) and other dog toys along with farm equipment and lawn mowers and more.
The factory is set up around two main binders, which have a couple different pockets and the pockets are where we load the pages into, and then it goes down the line and binds together. I'll bring home a sample of something we've done this week to show everyone.
The work itself isn't to hard, sometimes it can be a little frustrating when your pocket keeps going down due to some problem or another.
If I'm not on the binder, I could be at the end of the binder loading the skids, or on the skitcher putting together smaller pamphlets.
Looking forward to going to the Summit County Gun show this weekend with Jason and Dad.
Hope everyone is doing well!

Nice to see a contribution from another family member!
Good also to hear about what's going on with your new job.
For those of you who haven't given it a shot, perhaps you can employ Justin or Jamie for "private lessons"?
Welcome to the family waterblogged, Justin!
Yea Speedo! Good to hear from you!
Does the Shugg know how to post? If you are reading this, I guess so! And without a tutorial, as requested on numerous occasions.
Can't wait to see your catalog, Speed!
