33. what does that involve? |

I found assembly to be not nearly as hard as line work. Both the paint line unstacking and the plastic auto-parts molding were jobs that beat the crap out of me for the six days I had them. I had a girl from packaging come and work with me on the drill press. She was a girl I had asked out and been refused. I decided to run my tail off because the shift supervisor said we needed lots of parts and I was trying to impress her. She tried to keep up, and did a pretty good job too, but she asked to go back to packaging. Normally I did not work that fast because the piece rate sucked especially when working in a team. I could do 1800 by myself (IIRC) and that night we did about 2900 as a team. The 50 year old woman on first shift was a frigging dynamo, could do about 2400 by herself and so ruined the piece rate curve. They didn't want to pay her what she was worth.
