Hex Cap Screws, Flat Washers, Button Head Cap Screws, Plow Bolts, Wing Nuts, Elevator Bolts....You name it

Those are just a few of the products I got to handle today. I started my new job at Fastenal today. 8 am to 5 pm. I actually enjoyed getting to know my way around the store as the day went on. Finding different bins for different products takes a long long time when you don't know where anything goes. All in good time. There are four guys who run that store, myself included. Soon it will be five guys though, another part-time guy starts on the first of January. I'll prolly get to train him since I'll have a few weeks in. The guys are very nice there and laid back. They like to joke around and don't mind helping you when you have a question. They really seemed to appreciate having me around today since the boss just returned from vacation and it was just two guys running the store for the last two weeks. On Wednesday or Thursday my boss said I'll probably get to ride along on a delivery or a call and see how things get done on that end of the spectrum. I would like to do that since that's what I'm going to school for. All in all it was a pretty good first day.

In other news I'm on Christmas Break for school and am glad that I don't have to attend class for a few weeks. The Pistons continue to play amazing basketball and are still the best team in the NBA at 18-3. Way to go guys. That's all the news I have for now. Bye y'all

Your blog is truly appreciated by me. I learn such a great deal and can always count on a Piston's update, it keeps me sharp for my Mondays with Joel. You aren't much fun if you don't know anything about the Pistons.
