Spent the last two days working in the warehouse here. They believe in having all new employees spend some time in the warehouse so we gain a new appreciation for the whole process and understand what goes into placing and shipping the orders. It wasn't exactly an eye-opening experience, as I've worked in the pick-packing line before and already had a full appreciation for the value of hard manual labour and the importance of paying attention to details, but it must have been good for me in a moral sense to experience the honest toil - 'hewing the wood and drawing the old wet stuff.' It was very hot and it makes me appreciate all the more the rather tenuous a/c we have up front in the office - try unloading pallets in the upper level of the warehouse without any a/c whatsoever and you'll not complain any more of the flickering coolness.
It was also hard not to have a computer.
