Interesting day at work,
14 hopper feeders were scheduled to work today only 12 of us showed up end result we had to feed 3 or 4 hoppers each where as we would normally feed 2 or 3 each that extra hopper can really give you a workout running up and down the machine as the hoppers are not always right next to each other. The machine I was on today has 44 stations 42 of which are hoppers, there are 3 other similar machines with half as many hoppers and an older machine that is a bit picky when it runs it is a pretty good day but some times it will not stay running . Today only the big machine was in use with a skeleton crew for 1st shift today. They are still looking to hire more hopper feeders so the work is there it just comes all at once and not much next day.
Missed another family cook out due to working 1st shift Sunday oh well would have ate too much anyway.
