[Bullitt]

I used to work from 2:30pm-midnight 5 days a week in Jo-Ann's Eastern US Distribution center, I was in charge a Unit which was a 4 story structure with a line running through it getting orders filled inside the warehouse, but only the top two levels had motorized lines. And my job was to keep the line moving as about 12 other people filled orders by taking items off the stock shelves and loading them into boxes on the line. I had to then keep these SKU's of about 50 or so boxes all together and moving, all while more orders for the next SKU, or two, or three, were being loaded by my impatient coworkers and placed on the line out of order. So my job was to keep all this crap flowing by running up and down the 4 stories of stairs jockying boxes around and praying that I didn't miss any, otherwise I'd get chewed out by my supervisor because the whole line to the loading dock would have to stop while they sorted out the misplaced order into it's correct SKU. Plus there was the damn bander on the 4th level which I had to take boxes that were too small off the line and around it and place back on the motorized line because if a box that was too small went through, the bander would get a plastic band bound up inside of it up and I'd have to shut down the line, open the machine up, untangle it, reload the spool, and start it back up again; all while people are waiting for the line to move and putting more out of sync orders on the line all three floors below me.

It was hell in a warehouse...

I did this the entire night, every night 5 days a week with overtime on Saturdays if they needed stuff done. My previous position was just loading boxes into the trailors at the loading dock, but after this Unit had gone through 3 other guys who couldn't handle the job, they decided hey lets send in the kid.. I pretty much went to work at 2:30pm, came home around 12:30am, slept until noon the next day, ate breakfast then got ready for work again.

Pretty much the most miserable job/sleep cycle I've ever had.
