What I did today: Assemble a set of lockers.

The people working in the packhouse aren't supposed to leave their coats and personal stuff around in the packing area. Inspector would go ape *****. So bossman bought a set of lockers 3 wide by 3 high. What a PITA those were to put together.

There was a 5lb bag of bolts, nuts, hat hangers, and hole plugs. I used up every last piece of hardware that was in that bag. And it all had to get put together by hand. No wrenches, no screwdrivers. Nothing but my fingers. Miserable job that was. Took me most all day since I was putting it together between customers. I still need to go back and re-tighten it all again before it's ready for use. MAJOR PITA.

And tomorrow I'm putting together some shelving units. Oh joy.....

And on Thursday I leave for Tennessee!
