Yup. I definitely did something to my back and neck. Woke up today and it hurt to breathe, move my right arm, and move my head in any direction. I took something for it, got in a super hot bath and that helped for a few hours. My sister picked up a heating pad for me and that kinda worked but it's still very painful to move my neck. I think I need a massage therapist and a chiropractor to relieve the tension in my back. Ouch.

Tomorrow is going to be a long day. I'm going out with friends to get more product for my online side business. My goal is to have everything that is not posted yet, online before we head out. Going to be a long night, I'm hopeful. Here is to a busy night.

Well...not much got done yesterday. i like being busy on the weekends way too much. But it was still a long day!
Friday night I woke up at 7 p.m and stayed up to start my product run at 10am but I didn't get done till 2p. Then we went out to eat and didn't get home until nearly 3:30p, then I went to sleep. I wanted to wake up at 10pm and stay up because I had another long day planned for Sunday. Well I didn't get u, I ended up sleeping until my body woke me up with pain at 9am. I got up, dressed and waited for my bestie to come over. She, my Mom, my Dad, and I have season tickets to Broadway plays. The play was scheduled to show at 2pm but we left early to have lunch. After the play let out, we went back to my house and I had to get ready for work. I'm already tired, tonight was going to be interesting.
So far, as I'm writing, it's 2am. I have been up 17 hours and still have another 4 to go until shift is done. When I got into work, I missed pass down, but I did tell my Super and Lead that I might be up to a hour late just in case. Thankfully, I ended up only 20 minutes late.
Over the weekend, I got a email from my temp place that new company would officially be taking over Monday at Midnight. Well it was finally true, we all had to leave the fab at 11:30 pm and could not return until after midnight, however this was going to be considered time from our break. Thankfully, they provided not-very-good food. I ate anyway because it was free. It was Mediterranean but it wasn't warm. B2aD, my new Bay 4 coworker, said it looked gross and didn't eat any of it. We were told not to go back into the fab until 12:30a but he went back in at 12:05.
Other than the midnight "celebration", the day was good. No tools went down and work was -all-over-the-place busy. It was nice and steady, a day like today is what I wish for every "Friday" or last day of my work week. We did have a meting that David told me about with the timekeeper, a lady in HR that keeps track of all the punch ins and punch outs. She is the lady that plays no favorites with anyone and assigns points to those who do not follow rules. She was telling us about the new time system that the company is having us use. There is a mobile app for it. The main three things I got out of the meeting were.
-It has ALL personal info in the app and online. So do not stay logged in if you are away.
-You can take your breaks as you please, as long as the total break time doesn't exceed ninety minutes, no points will be assigned.
-Temps are not in this system yet, unknown when they will be added.
I figure I'll take my breaks 45/45, that way I'm not rushed at 30 minutes and not bored at 60 minutes. I told B2aD, he didn't care, he just told me to tell Super. I told Lead, she didn't mind and she told me to tell Super. I told Super and he told Lead no, not me, the Lead. So I had to got find him and ask why. He said his boss says we can only take our breaks 15-60-15 or 60-30. No other combo, so I mentioned the meeting we just had, that Super was not at, and he said the Timekeeper was wrong. Super and the Timekeeper don't have the same boss. So I relayed this info to Lead and she said she'd remind Super to ask his boss again with the new Timekeeper info.
After the meeting, I went to get water and during that time, Lead talked to B2aD and asked why he told me about the Timekeepers meeting as I was not included, because I'm a temp. He told her one of two things will happen.
-They'll add the temps to the system and she'll need to know the info.
-She'll be hired on as a employee and she'll need to know the system.
As of right now, I try to log in and I get 'user not found'. So I wonder if my breaks are even being timed? Hmmm?
72etch ran all night, fully loaded and all day.
