sandwich bale

the other morning management asked me to clock in early and make a sandwich bale. now a sandwich bale is where you have 4 inches or cardboard then 40 inches of plastic(plastic bags, hangers,bottle, shredded paper, aluminum cans.that kinda thing) then 4 inches of cardboard on top.so i get the 4 inches of cardboard down then I'm throwing in plastic. the baler squashes down and flattens everything in it.so it would take a lot of plastic to get 40 inches. anyway the baler i was using didn't have the markings on it to show the measurements of the cardboard and plastic. so i go and ask the lead person in the back room for help. well she decides to open the door of the baler and measure to see where we were at. well i was at about 20 inches of plastic. so we go to close the door and over by the hinge there was hangers and the door wouldn't shut. and no one could get the hangers out of the way. so this lead person tells me it needs to be taken out and started over. i looked at her and told her i need a moment. i was so pissed off because of her i would have to start over. i walked a lap through the store to cool off.
i get back and all the plastic was out of the baler all squashed and all over the floor. and cause of the soda cans there was soda everywhere too. what a mess. anyway. i had to start all over again. so a job that should have only taken me 1 hour and half took me 3 hours... 3 hours..i get the bale made and got it on the pallet jack and I'm hauling it outside and it was raining..lol..then someone left an open container of paint outside and i bumped it and stepped in the paint that had spilled out of the can.i left white shoe prints by the door...lol...what a morning that was..lol.
