i was bored last night at work so i did a few calculations to see how much work we actaully did and in one eight hour shift we throw 47 metric tonnes of wood per person.

i measured 10 random blocks to get an average block weight of 50 lbs. Then i figured out how many blocks i threw in 6 minutes (times the number by ten gets one hour) which was 26 blocks. times 10 is 260 blocks every hour. 260 blocks times 8 hours is 2080 blocks each shift. then times 2080 by the 50 lb average is 104,000 lbs. 104,000 divided by 2204 lbs is 47.2 metric tonnes.

i only make $3.04 take home per tonne thrown

that is throwing the equivalant of 29 camaros in 8 hours.

over the course of the year and 240 working days ( 5 days a week minus 2 weeks holidays an 6 stats ) i equals 11,281 tonnes thrown. i should look like the ROCK!!!

i want to be paid by the tonne next contract not by the hour. $7.00 a tonne or i strike

 

How far you have to throw them? . I am looking for a better job as well. The one I got now sucks ***.

Go get 'im, o' Scorpion King!

Btw, is that all tp and paper towels?? If so, that's incredible.

 

it is blocks of would and you take them of a platform in front of you and throw them into grinder pockets you stand in the middle and the is 2 on either side about 4 feet away. you have to walk to 2 of them

 

crap man sounds like a tough job

 

Your job is pimp , what are you b!tching about Your calculations are flawed , if you SKIPPED your coffee breaks you wouldnt be such a slacker

I want a new job too , just had a wicked interview this morning at a big shop Ive been trying to get into forever . Im not saying which one cause I dont want to jinx it but it looks good . . . lets just say a new corvette would be alot easier to get into and I could finally get off my *** and buy a house . PLEASE NEW JOB PLEASE NEW JOB !! My boss is going to be mad

I think Ill still keep the old one as a part time maybe ..

On a side note . . . Am I the only person in the world that doesnt have rich grandparents from england that Ive never even met leave huge wads of money PLEASE MONEY WADS PLEASE MONEY WADS !!

 

Nope your not the only one. Me too please!!!!

 

The blocks you are throwing... They aren't white and powdery are they???? Cause if you wanna make more money I suggest taking a couple home!

 

Yeah, being brown and all voids out the rich british grandparents.

 

I started off doing the same kinda thing but with coffee sacks. These b*stards are 150 lbs and you drag them 8 ft from a skid to a hole in the ground. You slash them open then grab the bottom of them and pour them. I averaged 200 a night for 1 1/2 years. I figure i'm somewhere around 6million +/- pounds. I lost 25lbs in first 6 mo. That's not including all the trailors(300per container) of coffee, extra bags and other heavy lifting I did. Now I SLACK.
